HOW TO END YOUR 21 DAY FAST
Ends January 29, 2023 @ 6pm





FASTING INFORMATION



TYPES OF FASTS ... There are three types of fasts that can be described as “biblical”:

  • Partial Fasts — Described in the book of Daniel, where for three weeks he abstained only from “delicacies” like meat and wine (Daniel 10:3).
  • Complete Fasts — Water-only or juice fasting, especially when fasting for an extended period. Juice fasts will provide you with more energy than water-only fasts and still lead you into the humbling experience of denying your desire for solid, chewable food.
  • Absolute Fasts — These are total fasts, no food (solid or liquid) and no water. Paul went on an absolute fast for three days following his encounter with Jesus (Acts 9:9). Moses and Elijah engaged in supernatural absolute fasts of forty days (Deuteronomy 9:9; 1 Kings 19:8). An absolute fast should be undertaken with great care and only under the guidance of a physician. Our bodies cannot go without water for more than three days.


PREPARING AND ENDING: WATER & JUICE ONLY

  • Beginners in Fasting should start slow. Progressive steps help our bodies adjust to the drop in food intake. You can start by fasting for one meal or for one day.
  • Before the Fast, those planning for an extended fast (more than 14 days) should always consult a doctor beforehand.
  • Prepare mentally and physically by cutting down on food intake one week before the actual fast and taking on a vegetarian diet to control cravings for food. Reduce intake of strong beverages like coffee, tea or soft drinks as well. Drink plenty of water.
  • During the Fast spend the time that you would normally use for meals to pray and seek the Lord. Keep a journal on what the Lord has been showing you and teaching you.
  • Continue to drink plenty of water. Apple or watermelon juice are great morale boosters.
  • Sleep early — the first few days of the fast are usually the most challenging. Persevere through this period.
  • Consult your doctor about any severe headaches or bodily reactions.


Ending the Fast:

  • Do not break extended fasts abruptly. Start by taking small portions of fruits, vegetables and liquids.
  • Pace yourself to return slowly to your normal diet in about a week.
  • Do not have a big celebration feast when breaking a fast! Your body may not be used to the sudden increased intake

THE PATH TO THE NEW YOU BY PRAYER & FASTING
- by Jill Cloud

MARK 9:27-29 KJV

But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose.

And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, "Why could not we cast him out?" And he said unto them, "This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting."
