I don’t believe that fasting is just food and water. Not to take power away from that base- fasting in any format can be very powerful.
For me, not eating is a daily occurrence. By the end of the day I’m wasted and it’s because I’m lacking from not eating. A food and water fast isn’t necessarily challenging for me. It’s a daily happening.
What could be more powerful? What if it was something you have up that made you STRUGGLE that day?
Sometimes, God wants to see how serious we are.
-How about sacrificing that drink you love? Caffeine
-Maybe the scrolling of SM- could you delete the apps?
-Sacrificing your favorite daily occurrence: working out, your walks, suntanning, driving, your recreation
Would you be willing to GIVE IT UP. Putting it on the alter to God to show your sacrifice and dedication? Even just for a day to witness the power that may be given by The Father in return?
Again, food and water fasting is sufficient. It could be an extreme fast for most people.
How much more powerful could fasting be if you modified your item on the alter to God to be something that was truly an absolute sacrifice? Something personal.
“God, I’m ready for change.”
“ I surrender.”
