How to Be Rich: Finding Freedom (Matthew 6:16-18)
In this day and age, most people are striving for more…a better job, a larger house, a flashier car, and the list goes on. There is more to life than chasing that elusive carrot that dangles so temptingly in front of you. Discover how to be truly rich, with what you already have. In our “get it now” culture, fasting reminds us to focus on Jesus. While we fast we are drawn away from the provision and toward the provider.

What To Do When You Don't Know What To Do
Nehemiah was a cup bearer for the King of Babylon. He was used by God to help the people of Israel. Nehemiah took the trouble of the Israelites personally, and showed us that where man is weak, God is powerful. He fasted and prayed, and God used him for great things.

Jesus Brings Real Joy and Rest
In chapter 5, Jesus declares Himself to be the Bridegroom after the Pharisees asked him why His disciples don't fast. People aren't sad at weddings but are joyous! Jesus brings real joy because He is the Bridegroom. We can only find real joy in Him. He told the Pharisees a parable about old and new things (v. 36-39). Jesus is the new, and some people (the Pharisees, teachers of the law, etc.) prefer the old - the old covenant and the additions to the covenant. In chapter 6, Jesus lives this new wine principle out. He proclaims that He is the Lord of the Sabbath. Only Jesus brings real rest, and we must find our rest in Him alone.

Requirements for Barrier Breaking
In oreder to breakdown barriers, we need to be devout and God-fearing. God-fearing means having respect for God and not just living to please yourself. We also need to be givers and people of prayer and fasting if we would like to see barriers broken down. The final key to breaking down barriers is obedience. Barriers tell us that we need the power of God in our lives.
