FASTING DEFINED: When you voluntarily abstain from food for a period of time either partially or completely for a spiritual purpose.

There are several types of fasting. The one you choose is between you and God. He will honor your best sacrifice.

Full Fast: Drink only liquids (you establish the number of days).

The Daniel Fast: Eat no meat, no sweets and no bread. Drink water and juice. Eat fruits and vegetables. Learn More
