Greetings inyouth2002, I disagree with searcher. There are many who can not abstain from food because of health issues. If abstaining from food is the only way to fast many would not be able to. In E. L. Towns book "Fasting for Spiritual Breakthrough", he tells us there are 4 types of fasting. 1. The normal fast is going without food for a definite period of time but ingesting liquids. 2. The absolute fast allows no food or drink at all. 3. The partial fast is one that omits certain foods or is on a schedule that includes limited eating. It may consist of eating one meal a day, or eating only fresh vegetables. 4. A rotational fast consists of eating or omitting certain families of foods for designated periods. For example vegetables may be eaten only every fourth day. Fasting, TO ME, and this is my personal opinion, is the giving up of something you truly love, sacrificing it in order to honor God and spend time with Him. I can not abstain from food for medical reasons so when I fast I have abstained from different things. Sometimes it is a certain type of food, sometimes it is something different. I have abstained from TV for example because I used to watch TV a lot. It was something that I sacrificed to spend more time with God. I believe the main thing is that you abstain from something that you truly desire to do or eat - something that a SACRIFICE on your part to give up, not something that you feel you can "do without" easily. I advise you to do what you feel God is leading you to do whether it be sacrificing food or something else. prayon |
