Christian Fasting:
FASTING SUPPORT MINISTRY

The Bible teaches that fasting is a way to add emphasis to private prayers. Fasting has become of interest in today's world where it is hard to concentrate in the midst of busy lifestyles in a quickly-changing world.

Because fasting centers on the abstinence of taking food, there are some precautions that must be taken before a person can fast successfully.

• What is your state of health? (If it would harm you to abstain from food entirely, don't do it! God would not want you to harm yourself for Him.)
• What is the purpose of your fast? (If it is merely to lose weight, a sensible diet is far more effective.  If it is to come closer to God, food should be the furthest thing from your mind.)
• Do you have a prayer support team? (If you have people praying for your success on a fast, the chances of temptation are greatly reduced.)

In the past, we have scheduled a corporate fast to cover the Central Florida area.   Because this ministry is global in scope, and fasts are being undertaken all the time, we invite you to become a member of one of our fasting teams:

1. Become a prayer partner for someone who is fasting
2. Become a Fasting Prayer Warrior to support fasts worldwide

In either case, we pray for your success as the peace of this world depends upon you
