I am needing to hear of some firsthand experiences with fasting from food for more than an afternoon. I know it to be a Biblical practice but rarely practiced among most evangelicals. This would be a real encouragement to me to hear someone who have experienced spiritual dividends to give some details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the lord has led me to fast for long periods the thing that has most stood out to me was that I am much more sensitive to the spirit realm... It is truly a spiritual battle when we fast and not just a physical one... in the business of life we loose sight that we are in a spiritual struggle and fasting brings it out to us..

The longest I have fasted is 3 days and by the third day I felt mental clarity while reading or praying, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
