The goal of fasting is to draw near to God.
It hits the reset button of our soul and renews us from the inside out. Fasting enables us to celebrate the goodness and mercy of God and prepares our hearts for all the good things God desires to bring into our lives. When deciding on a fast, we encourage you to seek God in prayer and follow what the Holy Spirit leads you to do.
Fasting
What is fasting?
The goal of fasting is to draw nearer to God. Biblical fasting always has to do with eliminating distractions for a spiritual purpose; it hits the reset button of our soul and renews us from the inside out. It also enables us to celebrate the goodness and mercy of God and prepares our hearts for all the good things God desires to bring into our lives. Remember, your personal fast should present a level of challenge, but it is very important to know your body, your options, and, most importantly, to seek God in prayer and follow what the Holy Spirit leads you to do.
Types of Fasts
Complete Fast
In this type of fast, you drink only liquids, typically water with light juices as an option.
Selective Fast
This type of fast involves removing certain elements from your diet. One example is the Daniel Fast, during which you remove meat, sweets, and bread from your diet and consume water and juice for fluids and fruits and vegetables for food.
Partial Fast
Sometimes called the “Jewish Fast,” this involves abstaining from eating any type of food in the morning and afternoon. This can either correlate to specific times of the day, such as 6:00 am to 3:00 pm, or from sunup to sundown.
Soul Fast
A great option if you don't have much experience fasting food, have health issues that prevent you from fasting food, or wish to refocus areas of your life that are out of balance. For example, you might stop using social media or watching television for the duration of the fast, then carefully bring it back in healthy doses. Let the Holy Spirit lead you into this special 21-day season.
