Ok here you go..

Jesus fasted - Matthew 4:2

Jesus gave instructions on fasting (assuming we would apparently) - Matthew 6:16-18

Jesus insinuated that we would fast when he was gone - Matthew 9:15

Jesus instructed that certain demons would come out only by prayer and fasting - Matthew 17:21

The church leaders fast - Acts 13:2,3

Fasting after ordination - Acts 14:23

Paul instructs the church to fast - 1 Corinthians 7:5

Paul mentions his own fasting - 2 Corinthians 6:5

I fast also.
There are many of us who fast that are Baptist.
Have you ever fasted Grace of God, and if so, is there a certain way you fast?
