Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. Romans 12:11 (NOV)
Fasting is a biblical, spiritual discipline to ad in the disconnection from the distractions of this world and renewal of our spiritual fervor.
Fasting Considerations
-
Liquid Fast - Drink juice & water for a set period of time.
-
Specific Food Fast - Omit specific food items from your diet. (ex: meats, sweats, fast food)
-
Partial Fast - Juice & water sun up to sun down.
-
Daniel Fast - Fruits, vegetables, juice, and water. No meats, sweats, bread.
-
Activity Fast - Unplug from technology for a set period of time. (ex: face book, TV, cell phones)
Start the path of fasting with clarity. Know the plan you will be following and write it down.
Prepare Spiritually
-
Shift your life to a retentive state. Start with an attitude of repentance. Is there anything you need to confess before God.
-
Seek the truth of God's word during your fast.
-
Submit to the truth you will be learning.
