Biblical Fasting is more than going without food for a certain amount of time. It is refraining from food and other things for a spiritual purpose, and it is a normal and regular part of a relationship with God. (Ref. Matt.6:16-18)

Use this time of fasting to cleanse yourself from anything that takes up time you could spend with God – replace secular music with gospel, limit social media, television, phone usage, etc.

Purpose of this Fast

• To draw closer to God
• Awaken and strengthen your spirit man
