"When you fast" - not if you fast
God commanded the Jews to fast on the day of Atonement - Leviticus 23:27-29
During the time of Jesus, Pharisees fasted twice a week - Luke 18:!2
Church was acustom to fasting - Acts 13:2, 14:23
Getting practical
- Making it a part of lifestyle
- Fast with a purpose in mind - bear fruit, find a job, closer walk with God
- Decide how long you intend to fast and stick to it
- Decide what kind of fast you intend to have
- Seek input from other disciples
