It does seem that fasting probably does represent the death of the flesh — but whose flesh and to what end? I suppose it could represent either Christ’s sacrifice or, as you suggest, the martyrdom of the saints. But overall, I just don’t understand how fasting literally serves to expand God’s kingdom. Paul’s idea about suffering God’s wrath for his neighbors was merely hypothetical and served to demonstrate Paul’s love for the unconverted.

Good question. I think the process is always Word, Sacrament, Government, or Commandment, Servanthood, Dominion. So the reason we don’t have Hope and Change is because no one wants to be the servant to bring about that change. That’s what fasting is about and I think the Spirit lets us know when it is required – as in the book of Esther. Wallis’ book is the best one on this that I know.
