Denying Your Flesh- Fasting/Prayer/Obedience

Sarah Kastner Season 1 Episode 7

Denying our flesh is an essential part of our walk with Christ but many people don't know how to start. “Then Jesus told his disciples, ‘If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me’” -Matthew 16:24
This episode explains what it means to deny ourselves, how to do it, and why denying our flesh should be a daily practice in each of our lives. 
I pray that this episode blesses every listener and corrects anything that you might misunderstand about picking up your cross and following Jesus. 

Thank you all so much for continuing to listen in and support the pod!! 😘

Verses Mentioned:
1 Peter 2:21 - “to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you might follow in his steps.”
1 Peter 2:22- 23- “He committed no sin, and no deceit was found in his mouth. 23: When they hurled their insults at him, he did not retaliate; when he suffered, he made no threats. Instead, he entrusted himself to him who judges justly. He himself bore our sins in his body on the cross so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness.”
Ephesians 4:26- “Be angry and do not sin, do not let the sun go down on your anger.”
Matthew 26:39- “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not my will but your will be done.” 
Luke 2 - “She never left the temple but worshipped night and day, fasting and praying.”
Romans 8:5-6 - “For you who are after the flesh do the things of the flesh, but you who are after the Spirit do the things of the Spirit. To be carnally minded is death: but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. For if you live after the flesh, you shall die: but if you through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, you shall live.” 
Matthew 6:16- “when you fast don’t put on a sad face like the hypocrites.”
