Why Fast?

Engaging in the spiritual discipline of fasting—the abstaining from food for spiritual purposes—can produce some remarkable results. Some of these proven time-tested benefits of fasting are:

Deeper intimacy with God

Increased sensitivity to God’s voice

Supernatural guidance/answers

Power in prayer

Divine direction in fulfilling your God-given purpose

Fresh anointing to overcome challenges

Creation of an environment for miracles and breakthroughs

Breaking bonds of wickedness and destroying spiritual yokes

Miraculous occurrences of healing, deliverance, and the salvation of loved ones

What Type of Fast Is It?

You have 2 different type of fasts to choose from:

THE DANIEL FAST

The Daniel Fast is a clean, simple, partial fast with no meat or processed foods like white rice, sugar, or solid fats. It is a diet of harvestable foods, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, beans, and LOTS of water.

SUNUP-TO-SUNDOWN FAST

Abstaining from all food—and drinking liquids only—from sunup to sundown.

Listen to your body. Whichever 14-day fast you choose, it can and should be adjusted or shortened to suit your lifestyle. Consult a doctor if you have health issues or if you are pregnant or nursing.

Fasting Tips

The following are some invaluable tips that will make your time of fasting more enjoyable and fulfilling:

Inform household members that you will be fasting to prevent misunderstanding.

If you have health-related problems and take prescription medications, consult your physician before the fast.

Prepare spiritually through personal consecration, repentance, and forgiving others.

Don’t binge eat before the fast. Instead, wean yourself from caffeine and sugars, eat light meals, and drink plenty of water.

Be specific about why you’re fasting. Decide on your prayer goals and have clearly in mind what you hope to gain through fasting.

Expect hunger pains and mild discomfort such as headaches and irritability (due to withdrawal from caffeine and sugars) during the fast.

Limit physical activity, and if desired, only exercise moderately during the fast.

Replace eating times with increased times of prayer and Bible study.

Do not overeat when the time comes to end your fast.

If you don’t receive answers to your time of prayer and fasting, do not be discouraged. Ask God for clarity and wait for His answer!
