Bible Question: how do i fast and pray? |
Bible Answer: Hello bttr007, What you would do is to not eat any food, and only drink pure water, and plenty of it. If you have never done this before you can start out easy by just not eating one or two meals on a given day. Then on your next try you can work your way up to a whole day. I actually believe that fasting intensifies your prayers. That may be why Jesus said that these come out only with fasting and prayer, Matthew 17:21. I believe fasting also has a healing effect on the body, If you are interested in the healing aspect, you should read, "Fasting and eating for Health" It really helped me in my understanding of fasting, ISBN # 0-312-13071-6. As far as prayer goes, the scripture is full of references and examples of prayer, like David's entreating of the Lord in the Psalms. Matt 21:22 "And all things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive." John 15:7 "If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. For those of you with health issues, I would suggest you take them to the Great Physician. I hope this helps, wordoer |
