In the Garden of Eden, God commanded Adam and Eve to fast the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Even these days, that tree is still with us. The Antioch church saw the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. They hated that tree and learned to fast the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. They disciplined themselves to fast.

God spoke to Adam and Eve to fast the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. As long as they were together in fellowship, they were able to fast that tree. But when she was alone, Eve broke the fast.

The Spirit of God is speaking to the church, “Fast this world.” But so many churches refuse to fast and they fail. When Adam and Eve stopped fasting the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, they lost the Garden. They lost the Spirit of God, fellowship with God, and communication with God. If the church does not fast this world, they will lose an intimate relationship with God and the Holy Spirit will leave.
