Pray
- This is the
#1 thing to help your fast. You can do much more with God than
without Him. Jesus can give you POWER and Strength to help you
have a successful fast. To really help you pray and stay
positive, we have developed
Positive Prayer CDs &
God's Bible Promises
CDs. Listening daily will help you stay encouraged and
inspired. Listening to the Bible Promises will build your
FAITH. You definitely need Faith to fast! Fasting IS NOT
EASY. Without renewing your mind and getting strength, you
will fall into the ways and temptations of the world!
Phillipians
4:13 says, “I can do all things through Christ which
strengtheneth me.” |

Read
the Bible – Stay on our free One Year Bible
Reading Plan. The Bible is your “spiritual food” during fasting.
As you read and “feed” on God’s word, revelation from the Holy Spirit will
begin to flood your mind.
Psalms 119:103
says, “How sweet are thy words unto my taste!
yea
sweeter than honey to my mouth!

Associate with positive, faith-filled people who will encourage
you during your fast. Do not associate with people or in places that will
drag you down, take away your faith, or tempt you with eating. It is wise
to stay away from things like church dinners or restaurants. If some
friends or church members are fasting with you, support and encourage
them. However, you must determine that you will succeed with your fast
whether anyone else does or not. Jesus will strengthen you! |
|

Yield
your will to God’s will – God will be speaking to you throughout your
fast. It is important to lay aside anything that God reveals to you that
is separating you from His will. Give all to God - Your time, money, goals, dreams, vision, and
purpose. Get in unity with God! Be empowered and guided by the Holy
Spirit. Do not grieve the Holy Spirit. Matthew 6:33 says, “But seek ye
first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things
shall be added unto you.” |
|
5 |
Expect Blessings – Keep a PEN AND PAPER both with you and by
your bed. Write down the revelations and dreams that God gives you.
Remember, one good revelation from God can change your life forever. God
wants to bless you. Visualize yourself with God’s Blessings before
actually possessing them, Have Faith & Belief for Miracles! Keep a great
positive Attitude! When you crucify your flesh with fasting, spiritual
blessings will overflow in your life!! |
|
6 |
Receive
Your Blessings – Open up and receive the many ways that God wants to bless
you, and give you Favor! During Your Fast, God will begin pouring out
many blessings in all areas of your life. |
|
7 |
Speak
Victory – Affirm and Confess God’s Words, over all other opinions or
circumstances! Speak and Believe God's many Bible Promises to bless
your life! |
|

PREPARATION
- A few days before your fast, and at least a few days after your fast,
eat and drink very healthy. |
|
9 |
DRINK
- At least ONE GALLON of liquid every day - Purified water is the most
cleansing of all drinks. Each night before bed, refrigerate one gallon of
purified water. Have it your goal to drink the whole gallon the next
day. If you are doing a juice fast, you can also supplement your water
with 100% pure vegetable or fruit juice (freshly squeezed is best), herbal
tea, vegetable broth, and 100% pure fruit smoothies. |
|
10 |
RELAX AND LISTEN
– Get plenty of rest and sleep – Do not overdue yourself physically. Get
away from the hustle and rat race of life, and get alone with God. Go for
walks, take a relaxing bath, relax in a swimming pool, go fishing, etc.
Get quiet so you can listen to God. |
|
11 |
INCREASE POSITIVE OR SPIRITUAL INPUT
– (Positive Prayers, God's Bible Promises, Bible reading, Christian TV,
Praise & Worship music, etc.). Your spirit becomes extremely open during
your fast. Strengthening your Spirit will allow you to hear God's
voice clearer. |
|
12 |
DECREASE NEGATIVE OR WORLDLY INPUT
- (secular movies, video games, secular TV or radio, negative association,
etc.). Worldly input especially weakens you when fasting. Feeding your
flesh makes your flesh stronger. A strong flesh could cause you to quit
your fast. Deny your fleshly desires and shut off worldly distractions.
Your victories will come as your spirit is stronger than your flesh! |
|
13 |
ELIMINATION
- The Standard American Diet (SAD) is filled with processed food,
chemicals, and toxins. These toxins lead to heart disease, cancer,
premature aging, and many other diseases and sicknesses. During your
fast, your body will begin to totally cleanse itself of these poisonous
toxins and bad cells. Bad breath, headaches, and tiredness are all signs
that your body is cleansing and healing itself. It is important to
expedite this elimination with a daily shower or bath, a dry brush
message, and regularly going to the bathroom. As the poison and other bad
cells leave your body, you will feel better, feel younger, and look better
than ever! |
|
14 |
FAST IN SECRET
- Jesus said in Matthew 6:18, "That thou appear not unto men to fast, but
unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret,
shall reward thee openly." Your fast is mostly between you and God, so
you should tell very few or no people (unless you are doing a corporate
fast with other faith filled Christians). You can encourage more people
and give your testimony of what Jesus did for you AFTER you break your
fast. It is especially important to not tell people who have low faith
and high negativity that you are fasting. They will likely discourage
you. If you hear too much negativity and discouragement, it will increase
your chances of quitting your fast. Always keep a positive environment
during your fast. |
|
15 |
GIVE ALL THE GLORY TO GOD! - Never
become proud because you are fasting. Always give all of the Praise,
honor and glory to Jesus in all that you do! |

1 |
Jesus told us to fast (Matthew 6:16) “when
ye fast, …” |
|
2 |
Jesus is our #1 example to follow, and
He fasted • Matthew 4 explains that Jesus fasted for 40 days. After His
fast, Jesus had incredible power and anointing to resist temptation and
begin a ministry filled with astonishing miracles. |
|
3 |
Fasting brings us closer to God and
God's Glory, than anything else • There are 3 recorded 40 day fasts in the
Bible:
Elijah, Moses, and Jesus. It is also interesting
to note that these 3 had extremely powerful ministries filled with
astonishing miracles. After fasting 40 days, Moses’ face shone so bright
with God's Glory, the children of Israel were afraid of him (Exodus
34:28-30) |
|
4 |
Fasting helps to give you GOD'S PURPOSE
AND DIRECTION for your life. Fasting BRINGS FRESH REVELATION from God and
the Holy Spirit (During his 40 day fast, Moses was given the 10
Commandments). Pray for God’s will, direction, and wisdom as you fast.
He will lead you to the steps you need for your goals and dreams to become
a reality. |
|
5 |
Fasting helps to produce tremendous Holy
Spirit ANOINTING & POWER for miracles, blessings, and breakthroughs.
Fasting increases your WILLPOWER, which empowers and strengthens you to
yield your will to God's will. |
|
6 |
Fasting brings HEALTH & HEALINGS, and
produces tremendous physical benefits – Fasting cleanses and heals your
body, promotes weight loss, eliminates toxins, clears your mind,
beautifies your complexion (once the toxins are gone), slows your aging
process, increases your likelihood of living longer, and much more! |
|
7 |
Fasting brings FINANCIAL BREAKTHROUGHS.
The closer you get to God, the more you will think big like God thinks.
His ideas will begin to flow through you. One good idea from God can
change your financial future forever. |
|
8 |
Fasting brings DELIVERANCE! Fasting
breaks the yoke of addictions, temptations, burdens, bondages, and bad
habits (Isaiah 58:6). Quoting God’s Word and Fasting are the 2 most
powerful WEAPONS against the devil. Luke 4 tells the story of Jesus
fasting 40 days. After His fast, He was full of the power of the Spirit.
Jesus quoted God’s words and defeated satan’s plans of temptation. Some
might think fasting is painful, but being defeated by satan is even more
painful. |
|
9 |
Fasting REMOVES MOUNTAINS that prayer
and faith alone may not remove (mountains could be anything holding you
back from God’s will or blessings) * After Jesus performed a major
deliverance, His disciples asked, “why couldn’t we cast him out?” Jesus
answered in Matthew 17:20-21, “Because of your unbelief: for verily I say
unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto
this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and
nothing shall be impossible unto you. (21) Howbeit this kind goeth not
out but by prayer and fasting.” |
|
10 |
Fasting brings the greatest UNITY AND
BLESSINGS to any group of people who fast together. Major personal and
church-wide miraculous testimonies have been given for those groups
dedicated to fasting. |
|
11 |
The Greatest REVIVALS, reformations, and
spiritual awakenings in U.S. & Christian History have come from fasting.
Examples:
•
Jonathan
Edwards led the great awakening. He was so weak from fasting, he had to
support himself to stand up and preach. But, the Holy Ghost anointing on
him was so strong that entire cities got saved at once.
•
Azusa Street – one of greatest of all US
revivals – began in prayer & fasting
•
The great United States presidents
George Washington and Abraham Lincoln proclaimed many days of
Nationwide prayer and fasting that helped the Nation achieve VICTORY
through the toughest times. |
|
12 |
Fasting PRODUCES FAITH and reliance on
Jesus, instead of faith and reliance on food:
John 6:35 And
Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall
never hunger;
and he that believeth on me hall never thirst.
John 7:38-39
He that believeth on me, as the Scripture hath said, out of his belly
shall flow rivers of living water.
(39) (But this spake he of the Spirit, …) |
