What Is Fasting?

During a period of fasting, you are denying yourself food. You are denying your body (soul) when it is crying for food. During your fast, you are forcing your body to listen to your spirit. Your Spirit will gain more control and your Soul will lose more control. You will begin to walk more in the authority that the Lord gave you. Fasting is no good without prayer.

Pray this prayer over your life each and every day that Paul prayed over the Ephesians. Ephesians 1:17 -19 The Passion Translation. “I pray that the Father of Glory, the God of our Lord Jesus, would impart to me the riches of the Spirit of Wisdom and the Spirit of Revelation to know Him through my deepening intimacy with Him. 18 I pray that the light of God will illuminate the eyes of my imagination, flooding me with light, until I experience the full revelation of the hope of His calling- that is the wealth of God’s glorious inheritances that He finds in me, His holy ones. 19 Paul prays that I will continually experience the immeasurable greatness of God’s power made available to me through faith. Then my life will be an advertisement of this immense power as it works through me! This is the mighty power.” (This prayer was personalized for you to pray).

What Does Fasting Do For You Spiritually?

Fasting increases the anointing of God on your life. It increases your ability to hear from God. If your hearing is clogged, you are not hearing from God as you should. Fasting increases the ability to get results, wisdom, and power from God. Nothing just happens, you must invest your time in fasting and prayer..

Job 23:12 says “You must esteem God’s Word more than your necessary food.” The 6th chapter of Matthew covers Fasting, Praying and Giving. These three will boost your prayer and fasting results. The three most powerful means of getting close to God is through Fasting, Praying and Giving.

Fasting Guidelines

• We will abstain from eating food for a period.
• Liquids can be consumed during the fast, so you will not damage your body by dehydration. (Keep hydrated, drink plenty of water).
• Fasting will begin at 12 midnight and continue until 5:00 p.m. daily.
• For young and first-time fasters...If 5:00 p.m. is too strenuous for you, you may break your fast earlier around noon.
• When ending your daily fast, begin with fluids and small portions of food. Try to limit fried foods as they may upset your stomach.
• If you have dietary or health concerns and requirements follow your prescribed guidelines.
• An occasional mint may be used to eliminate bad breath.

Goals

Our goals for this 22 Day Fast are to grow in Grace, increase in Knowledge, Anointing, the Power of God, and the Supernatural Manifestation of the Word of God in every area of your life that pertains to life and Godliness. Expect changes in your life, situations, and receive answers to your prayers. Keep a journal while you are on the fast. Jot down the instructions God has given you. You will have some manifestations while you are on the fast. (This is seed time). You will have greater revelation after the fast. (This is Harvest Time). Expect to receive answers all year through as God’s wisdom and revelation floods your spirit.

It will cost you something for the Anointing. If you want great things from God, it will cost you. What are you willing to do to get results? Things do not just happen.
