Corporate Fasting (Various Texts)
Corporate fasting, distinct from individual believers simply choosing to fast at the same time, occurs when the church deliberately comes together to fast for specific purposes. Building upon Jesus's teaching in Matthew 6:16-18 that believers should fast joyfully and in secret before the Father, Scripture provides clear examples of corporate fasting. The practice demonstrates collective dependence upon God, creates space for clearer understanding of his word (not mystical revelation), and should be consecrated for specific purposes rather than used as a means to manipulate divine outcomes.
