Greetings~

I was wondering how many of you do any fasting? If you do, what kind of foods do you eat? How long of a fast do you go on?

I'm fasting right now. I'm currently fasting meats and sweets for 21 days. Our pastor challenged our church to give up TV for 21 days and those of us who were willing to give up meats and sweets.

But I have been doing some research and there is a great website about fasting. I'm new here, so I'm not sure if I am supposed to put it here or not, but you could email me.

Honestly, I've only fasted once. It was of my own accord. I didn't eat anything, but I drank things. Maybe to try fasting from certain foods might be a good one to try for me. I need to eat so I have energy for classes like microbiology (coming up this semester). :P

Hello,

I have done a 3-day fast on my own accord and another time I was forced to do a "partial" 3-day . The fast on my own accord, I drank only water. The other fast I drank some milk and soup. I was forced into this because of the situation: I was sick and in post-surgery. In both fasts I received healing and spiritual edification. During this time we truly know that Jesus Christ is our all in all and that we truly live on the Word of God alone.

Some people do a prayer and fast for eight hours once a week or a month depending on their schedule. Some people pray and fast until they are satified that they received an answer to a prayer.

Whenever I have fasted it was always liquid only, water, juice, broth.

If you are going to fast just remeber to break it with gentle foods like soup (tomato), or fruits and then work your way back up to the normal things.

I've wondered about fasting. but was never sure if I would be able to do it because I have an acid problem with my stomach and when I don't eat I get major heatburn. Maybe just eat Tums?

Have you talked to your doctor about fasting? He might have some good advice from a medical standpoint. Sorry, I don't know much about heart burn.

Snow, when something really important comes along I usually fast for 3 days on food. I do drink water and some coffee.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
