Fasting
The goal of fasting is to draw near to God.
It hits the reset button of our soul and renews us from the inside out.
Fasting enables us to celebrate the goodness and mercy of God. It prepares our hearts for all the good things God desires to bring into our lives.
When deciding on a fast, we encourage you to seek God in prayer and follow what the Holy Spirit leads you to do.
Types of Fasts
The Abstaining Fast - This fast is a great option if you do not have much experience fasting food, have health issues that prevent you from fasting food, or if you wish to refocus certain areas of your life that are out of balance.
For example, you might choose to stop using social media or watching television for the duration of the fast and then carefully bring that element back into your life in healthy doses at the conclusion of the fast.
The Partial Fast - This is simply removing certain items from your diet. Some point to what is popularly referred to as "the Daniel Fast" mentioned in Daniel 10:3.
The Normal Fast - The normal means of fasting is abstaining from all food, solid or liquid, but not from water.
The Absolute Fast - This is abstaining from both food and water.
