why is it that any time a man of God wants to give me a period of time to fast, the ll just look at me, in there mind, I no the ll say, this one is too fat . instead of giving me the normal 2days the would give other's. the ll just tell me, if you can do from 6am to 12 in the afternoon its ok.in my mind I ll say Tor thank God because I ll not even try 2days fasting.

I have fasted for two days without food and water.

The reason for the fasting, was to draw Gods attention, so that he will help me gain admission into the university.

After staying at home, for three years, fetching water, drinking Tea and eating Egusi soup, I summoned courage to do that fasting.
lol the admission I got double. one in Michael okpara uni on merit list and the second one absu same yr.

You could have drink water then. There are different kinds of fasting.

If you chose to go on any type of fasting, I think it better to stick to it until its completed. So drinking water would have prolly defeated the purpose. Drinking of water is usually for white fast.

Mine has been 3 days dry. It was a wonderful experience. By God's grace and mercy one can do more.
There are some problems that will not go except by the continuous bombardment of serious prayers mixed with fasting. (Matthew 17:21)
It should however be noted that fasting just helps to kill the flesh and draw us closer to God. It is not a substitute for faith.

What I'm saying is that there are different kinds of fasting, we have the one which you take only juice, the one you drink only water, the one you take only fruit and the one you dont take anything. All of them give the same result.

Exactly. Fasting also helps remove toxins in the body.

Ahh! I remember in the early 90s, when I was filled in the Holy Spirit; preaching and spreading the gospel. I almost died the day I fasted from 6 am to 6 pm. I even cooked dinner before before the time; looking at the food, the food looking at me.

Never fasted before, always in doubt of efficacy of fasting and prayer.

Earlier this year, I had a spiritual switch which prompted me to dived into serious 21 days of fasting and prayer ( 6am - 6pm)

After 24 days of the fasting and prayer, the almighty blessed me with an appointment letter @ NNPC.

After that gift, I must say that my spiritual life has a fire.

Am thinking of doing it that way though, but for now I break in the evening.
The Friday fasting has been a tradition in the family. And now that am grown I noticed how health I've been. Which made me stick to it.

You can start small. First day break by 1pm, then in subsequent times you extend the time gradually. From 3 to 5 to 7 then to the next day.

3 days straight during a discipleship class.
it wasn't easy but it was worth it.

From the medical view, please ensure you take water during long fasting periods (24hr upwards). This keeps your kidneys perfused.
Once had a patient who had kidney stones and acute kidney injury after 7 days or so straight fast on a hot mountain.

What kind of joke?
Jesus did 40days in preparation for his ministry...oga why did the apostles fast for 10 days.

Why did Paul fast for three days...why did Paul described his christian fellows and apostles as people that fast often....stay there and allow Satan to decive yiuy
