Not sure about what the Bible says about fasting? Check out these verses!
1 Kings 21:9 Nehemiah 9:1 Esther 4:3 Psalm 35:13 Isaiah 58:3 Isaiah 58:6 Jeremiah 36:9 Daniel 9:3 Matthew 6:18
Those are just some of the Bible verses that talk about fasting. For the past 25 Tuesdays I have been fasting with a group of people around the world. I will continue doing so until I feel God tells me to stop. So what exactly are we fasting for? We have been praying and fasting for spiritual, financial, and relationship breakthrough among our generation. What have we been fasting? Most of the group decided to give up food for the whole day. Now…for the point of this article!
Do you want to fast but not sure how to start?
* First, pray about it. Decide if that is what God wants you to do.
* Second, decide on what to fast. (All food, ice cream, fats, secular music, TV, etc.)
* Third, decide WHEN and HOW LONG to fast. (Years, months, weeks, days)
* Fourth, decide on why you are fasting.
Once you have done those four things…all you have to do now is stick to it! If you decide to give up all food on Monday, DON’T FORGET! Drink lots of water! Pray, get in the word, and worship God. That’s what fasting is all about! Giving up something for God! It is a challenge. But it’s definitely worth it! God is amazing and can do amazing things through you
while fasting! I encourage you all to pray about this and see what God has in store for you. Praying and Fasting is an excellent way to grow stronger in your relationship with the Lord.
