Fasting

I can't remember the last time. I've fasted when there was a deep burden on my heart, when almost pure concentration on the Lord was needed at the time.

Yikes Solo...no food!...no really it has been so long since I have fasted for the Lord...but I am due for it, so you just may inspire me to do so!

about a month ago..funny how the scriptures say, "when you fast" and not if you fast. Keep that in mind...spiritual disiplines.

Thank you soloman for the reminder.

I have not fasted in a very long time.




God bless,

I've only fasted for health purposes :o

I think I will do some reading in the Bible on the subject. Cool, I get to use my new study Bible

I can't fast for very long periods of time because I'm borderline hypoglosemic and I'll pass out. IT'S NOT FAIR! lol...I'll be okay. I just fast for small periods of time, and when I start getting nauseus, weak, and irritable it's time for food!

Well, fasting is not something you should just do on a spur of a moment..it should be a planned thing in my opinion, just like your quiet time. You don't have to just stop eating...maybe you can fast from a certain type of food, or make up a new fast to fit your culture. Fast from *gasp* the net...Anyway you do it remember the purpose of the fast...to focus on God. Use the time devoted to that action you are fasting from to study the word or spend time in prayer. Food fasting can be a powerful spiritual tool and discipline...do not underestimate it.

I have been called to be somewhat of a Nazarite. My whole life from about 5 yrs ago has been a constant fast. I may lose my reward for saying that but I never was one for rewards.
