FASTING
Many churches go into the new year with January being the first month to do a 21 day fast.The leadership believes that this is the time to start things fresh with God by cleansing the church, the mind, spirit, and body. Fasting is also a great way to detox the body from harmful toxins and expel waste from the temple(body).
What is fasting? Fasting is primarily abstaining from some or all food, drinks, or a combination of both for a period of time. An absolute fast, or an Esther fast, is abstaining from all food and liquids any where from 24 hours to three or more days.(USE WISDOM WITH THIS TYPE OF FAST). Fasting may also preclude sexual activity or other activities as well as food. Please note that fasting from sex should be a mutual agreement between husbands and wives. Why fast? First and foremost is because the bible, Isaiah 58, commands us to fast. Secondly, to have a closer walk with Jesus. Third, to detox and cleanse the body, Fourth, for better health. Once again, you want to be sure to check with your physician before beginning any type of exercise or lifestyle changes.
