Fasting

What is a Biblical fast? Abstaining from food for spiritual purposes.

While Scripture, does mention several different kinds of fasts (Daniel 10:3 - from delicacies, meat & wine), (Esther 4:16 - no food or water), (Acts 9:9 - absolute fast), the normal means of fasting involved abstaining from all food, solid or liquid, but not from water (Luke 4:2 - Jesus ate nothing). Fasting is not a commandment and neither did Jesus teach it as such. He did, however, speak of it as a way of life for His disciples (Matthew 9:15). There are occasions in Scripture where a group fast was called for a specific purpose (Chronicles 20:1-4 - King Jehoshaphat called the nation to fast during an invasion), (Jonah 3:5 - the city of Nineveh fasted, including the animals, as a result of Jonah’s warning to repent), and (Ezra 8:21-23 - before the trip back to Jerusalem, the exiles fasted and prayed for safety while traveling on the bandit-infested road).

The Purpose of Fasting

Fasting must center on God. John Wesley - “Let our intention herein be this, and this alone, to glorify our Father which is in heaven”
Fasting reveals the things that control us by bringing it to the surface (anger, bitterness, jealousy, fear) David in Psalm 69:10 - “I humbled my soul with fasting.”
Fasting reminds us that we are sustained ‘by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God” (Matthew 4:4). We are not so much fasting from food, etc as we are feasting on God’s word.

The Practice of Fasting

If this is your first fast, it is wise to begin slowly, perhaps a partial fast of 24-hours.
Many have found lunch to lunch to be the best time. This involves only missing 2 meals.
Drinking fresh fruit juices has proven helpful as you begin to fast.
As you progress, when drinking only water, be sure you consume healthy amounts.
Don’t call attention to your fast. (Matthew 6:16-18) Inform only those who need to know

As you go about your day, you will experience physical aspects but pay closer attention to the inner attitude of the heart.

**This brief outline of Fasting is taken from Richard J. Foster’s Celebration of Discipline.
