As Christ Followers we need to fast and in doing so we deepen our relationship with God. It is a discipline and a sacrifice but it helps us align with His purposes and gain clarity on issues as we redirect our food source. The spirit- man needs to be fed . Fasting is an act of worship and feeds God. Fasting is to lay aside food or any pleasurable activity for a period of time to intensely pursue God & know His mind with the intent of obeying His revealed will.
7 things we need to do:
- Set your objective
- make a commitment to be with Him- Hell will come against you
- prepare selves spiritually by confessing sin
- prepare physically- drink plenty of water and get off sugar & caffeine a couple of days early
- put self on schedule- slow down and find different pace
- end fast gradually if extended fast
- Expect results- God will do miracles
