ThepracticeofregularfastingisanormalChristianbehaviourtaughtbyJesus.

Fastinghasphysicalaswell as spiritualbenefits. Itmustbe embarkedonwithspiritualcommitmentandwisdom.EverythingshouldbedonetothegloryofGod.

InMatthew 6:16–18, Jesus provided guidelines for fasting. Fasting was alsopracticedbytheearlychurchasevidencedinActs13:2.Ithasbeentheregulardisciplineofbelieversthroughoutchurchhistory.

HELPFULHINTSFASTINGFOR

3. It is important after a fast to control your cravings and avoid overeating and nullifying the gains made during the fast.

Don'tsOfFasting

8. Break your fast gradually. At this point you will need to exercise watchful self-control. Break your fast on a meal that is light and easy to digest (i.e., broth, a shredded apple, watermelon, or steamed vegetables).

9. Prepare for opposition. Satan tempted Jesus on the fast, and we must expect the same. Discouragement may come but take your stand on the victory of Christ.

5. You can fast in many different ways. For example, a Daniel fast is one in which you consume only vegetables and water throughout. Pray and ask God what He will give you faith for the duration of the fast.

6. Have a clear target as your prayer focus. Without a vision or clear goal, the people perish. Write down your vision for the fast so you can run with it (Habakkuk2:2).

2. Prevent constipation during and after the fast by eating fresh fruit and raw vegetables, fruit or vegetable juices, oatmeal, etc.

1. Avoid high-fat and sugary foods before the fast.2. Abstain from strong stimulants such as caffeinated and sugary drinks during

a fast, including the artificial sweeteners found in diet drinks.

4. Seek medical advice before the fast if you have any existing health conditions.

Do'sOfFasting

3. Drink lots of water when fasting.

7. Take time to pray and read the word. This may seem obvious, but busyness and distractions can keep you from daily devotions. Expect to hear God's voice in the word, dreams, visions, and revelations. Daniel prepared himself to receive revelation through fasting (Daniel10:1–2).

1. Prepare your body for the fast; cut back on food portions and eat smaller meals a few days prior to the fast.

Iamexcitedthatyouarejoiningmeonthisfast.Committostayingthecourseand fasting from thebeginning to the end. I believe thatGod'sglory will envelope our nation in a supernatural way as we waitupontheLord.

3. Declare that all things are working together for your good in this season of fasting and prayer in Jesus' name. Amen.

What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? Who shall bring a charge against God's elect? It is God who justifies. Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written: “For Your sake we are killed all day long; We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.” Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

DAY 9 - JULY 3

(2Corinthians4:7)

But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that theexcellenceofthepowermaybeofGodandnotofus.

But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us. We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed— always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body. For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus' sake, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh. So then death is working in us, but life in you. And since we have the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, “I believed and therefore I spoke,” we also believe and therefore speak, knowing that He who raised up the Lord Jesus will also raise us up with Jesus, and will present us with you. For all things are for your sakes, that grace, having spread through the many, may cause thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God.

5. Ask God to make your life a living testimony to others as you manifest His saving knowledge and excellent power.

Jesussaidtohim,“Ifyoucanbelieve,allthingsarepossibletohimwhobelieves.”(Mark9:23)

And when He came to the disciples, He saw a great multitude around them, and scribes disputing with them. Immediately, when they saw Him, all the people were greatly amazed, and running to Him, greeted Him. And He asked the scribes, “What are you discussing with them?” Then one of the crowd answered and said, “Teacher, I brought You my son, who has a mute spirit. And wherever it seizes him, it throws him down; he foams at the mouth, gnashes his teeth, and becomes rigid. So I spoke to Your disciples, that they should cast it out, but they could not.” He answered him and said, “O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him to Me.” Then they brought him to Him. And when he saw Him, immediately the spirit convulsed him, and he fell on the ground and wallowed, foaming at the mouth. So He asked his father, “How long has this been happening to him?” And he said, “From childhood. And often he has thrown him both into the fire and into the water to destroy him. But if You can do anything, have compassion on us and help us.” Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.” Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!” When Jesus saw that the people came running together, He rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, “Deaf and dumb spirit, I command you, come out of him and enter him no more!” Then the spirit cried out, convulsed him greatly, and came out of him. And he became as one dead, so that many said, “He is dead.” But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up, and he arose.

Finally,mybrethren,bestrongintheLordandinthepowerofHismight.

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints— and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel.
