Bible Question: I know that there are several types of fasting, but I need to know what can't you do or eat while fasting? And can I have a scripture on it. |
Bible Answer: blessed205927 There is not a lot of direction or detail as to how to go about a fast. Jesus told us when we do fast we are to do as such Matthew 6:16-18 "Moreover, when you fast, do not be like the hypocrites, with a sad countenance. For they disfigure their faces that they may appear to men to be fasting. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. 17 But you, when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, 18 so that you do not appear to men to be fasting, but to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly. Jessu also told us fasting was important and that some things required fasting and prayer. Matthew 17:21 However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting." Some fast are all day fast where nothing is taken neither drink nor food. The human body shouldn’t go longer than about 3 days with nothing to drink. On other fast some are only fasting food and they still drink water. These can last from 1 to 40 days or longer I guess if the Lord instructs you. Some people fast things they like so maybe for a period of time they will eat no chocolate or not drink any soft drinks or something like that. Others will fast just a meal or two a day for a period of time. Catholics use to fast meat on Fridays, and usually fast something during Lent. Every time I fasted the Lord while I was praying laid on my heart what I how I should fast and for how long. I hope this helps EdB |
