fasting

[janny108]

how do you all fast? Any certain way? I've done it before, but feeling like I might do it again.

Usually if I fast it's just from sunrise to sunset, and usually I only drink water. I'd rather do it on a day where I'm home all day though, driving after not eating scares me a bit, and I think fasting would be a lot better if you spent a lot of that time praying and reading.

Skip lunch and or stay off the computer a whole day.
We have health issues and as you may know, not all fasts involve not eating food.

Yeah, theres no specific way to do it. You have to do what you think you can do within limits of things like if you have health issues. I did my first fast a few months ago. I sat in my room with no electronics, nothing to distract me and prayed and read my bible for nearly 19 hours. Mind you obviously I left to use the bathroom and to eat dinner.

But past that I couldn't do it anymore because I got a headache because I have health issues. I did in fact get answers during my fast!

I typically dont eat every day until evening, except when I am dieting then I eat several times a day, I put on weight when I might do what others call a fast (as in eating once a day after 6) but then lose weight fast when I eat several meals a day, but thats a pain in the rear to be that preoccupied with food and setting timers to eat.

Though, I never intend to do a fast (if thats what it might be considered or not I dont know) I just get so caught up in the Lord and His word I dont want to put that down to even bother to eat. So I dont do to receive, I find I am receiving and so I dont do (in my case).

Or it could be I am just too lazy to get up and make a sandwich, thats always possiblity.

12am-6pm, no food no drink. nothing.
Everyone is different.
If i dont feel too well, i do till 3pm.
Fasting if to seek God's face involves praying as well..praising God etc. Not sure why anyone would fast without praying except maybe they re doing it to lose weight, then it will be diet and not fasting
I also dont think you need to lock yourself in your room all day

skip meal, usually lunch, have water.

Do it as the Holy spirit leads, it's not a set thing, but has been on my mind a bit lately. I don't tell anyone either. I know someone who always told me he was fasting..whenever I saw him he would announce he was fasting..maybe it's just a holdover from his muslim background (he's a christian now) but the Word does say not to make a big deal of it.

yes its kind of spiritual feelings that you would have after fasting through out the day.the time past steadily but in the end would have a kind of happiness when you will have the dinner.

it's not for health issues but husband daughter issues

Just dont eat until you get an answer or have to be hospitalized
