Jesus was moved by love, led by love, empowered by love, endured the cross by love, and by love was resurrected to intercede on our behalf—at the right hand of Love itself, for "God is love" (1 John 4:8,16).
Everything Jesus did was infused with the love of God. He demonstrated how we are to walk in that same kind of love.He filled us with His very own Spirit to lead us in the ways of love and empower us with an ever-increasing capacity to love.
We are told in 1 Corinthians 13 that without love we are nothing. It doesn't matter how much you pray or discipline yourself if you are not walking in the love of God. What you do clutters your soul as much as what you think or say. Your behaviors are just as toxic to your soul as your thoughts.
The purpose of a soul fast is to cleanse your heart and mind of toxins—because all you say and do is a result of what is in your heart. Not only that, but your every word and deed either pollutes or purifies not only your own soul, but also the world around you.
