Facts on Fasting
Why should I fast? Fasting is a spiritual discipline that can bring greater clarity and revelation.
• Definition: To abstain from physical nourishment for a time for spiritual reasons.
• Types: 1) Water only. 2) Restriction of normal diet (i.e. Daniel 10:2-3). Or consider maintaining an attitude of personal denial by avoiding unnecessary foods, such as sugar or carbohydrates.
• Methods: Choose one day, several days, or all 21 days. Choose one meal, two meals or all three. (Note, if you have health concerns, please check with your physician first.)

- Seeking God’s Will (Luke 4:1-14, Esther 4).
- Expecting Answers (Daniel 10:1-14, Acts 13:1-4).
• Other Considerations: Limit things that present distractions (i.e. TV, video games and social media), or pleasurable substances such as alcohol or tobacco.
