Greetings corin, It seems as though you might have gotten some bad information from someone because you suggest that one might be able to literally bribe God and get him to respond by our doing something advantageous. The last part of your question; “What shall we do while fasting in order to get the best result from God?” The Christian way of life is strictly one of grace; we can’t earn or deserve anything from God! Col. 2:6 As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: Do you understand God’s plan and his mercy and grace in salvation? Have a great day, CDBJ |

i did the fasting but do not have a correct understanding while fasting, i felt like i doing something i don't know the proper way and at the end it serve no purpose. i heard about fasting in the Bible is quite powerful even to rebuke and chase away Demon. i need anybody's good advise about fasting to guide me to the correct value and purpose of it. Many Thanks. PS. sometimes we might touch our loves one by our sincerity through some action, we will never try to bribe someone we loved so dearly when we need the TRUE love. i might get the wrong expression so i need help. |

Have you come to the place yet in your life where you are sure that you know God’s plan for you to be in heaven. Spending eternity in the presence of the Lord God demands certain things to have changed in our life before this is possible, are you sure they are accomplished yet in yours? Have a great day, CDBJ |

Greetings Corin, 1. You asked: "How many types of fasting are there in the Bible?" Fast, Fasting Depriving oneself of food for a period of time for a specific purpose, often spiritual. It is the "weakening" of the body in order to "strengthen" the spirit. It is interesting to note that sin entered the world through the disobedience of eating (Gen. 3:6). We are called to fast in the N.T. (Matt. 6:16 ). (See also 1 Kings 21:27; Psalm 35:13; Acts 13:3; 2 Cor. 6:5). (Christian Apologetics and Research Ministry [C.A.R.M.] www.carm.org) The length of time for a fast varies from one day, Darius, king of Persia (Dan 6:18) to 40 days as with Jesus (Mat 4:2), Moses (Exo 34:28) and Elijah (1 Kings 19:8). 2. You asked: "If somebody restraint from watching movie is that consider as fasting?" Movies have nothing to do with fasting, it always involves food. The length of time for a fast varies from one day, Darius, king of Persia (Dan 6:18) to 40 days as with Jesus (Mat 4:2), Moses (Exo 34:28) and Elijah (1 Kings 19:8). 3. You asked: "What shall we do while fasting in order to get the best result from God?" Although fasting is used to show our consecration to God and asking for His Divine will to be done in special cases, it is not a magic tool for getting what you want. Be "dedicated" to the reason for your fast and God will reward you. Mat 6:16 When you go without eating, don't try to look gloomy as those show-offs do when they go without eating. I can assure you that they already have their reward. Mat 6:17 Instead, comb your hair and wash your face. Mat 6:18 Then others won't know that you are going without eating. But your Father sees what is done in private, and he will reward you. (Contemporary English Version) There may be more information by using the "Search" tool in the upper right corner of this page.
