WHAT IS A FAST?
Biblical Accounts of Fasting
There are several types of fasts recorded in Scripture:
-Absolute (Acts 9:9; Esther 4:16)
-Supernatural Absolute (Exodus 34:28; Matthew 4:2)
-Partial (Daniel 10:3)
An absolute fast is one in which the participant takes neither food nor water for a short period of time. A supernatural absolute fast is one in which the individual takes
neither food nor drink for an extended period of time (and
can be sustained only by the power of God). A partial fast
is one in which the individual abstains from certain food
and drink for an established period of time.
By examining the scriptures, we can draw several biblical
conclusions about fasting. Scripture records accounts both
of corporate and private fasting. As well, in each account,
the individuals involved in fasting act in obedience to God,
fully desiring His presence. We also see that fasting requires spiritual discipline, and that fasting is a discipline
meant for all of Gods people (men and women, lowly and
mighty, old and young).
Please note: Scripture does not specifically address the matter of children and fasting. Though we do not see examples of
children fasting, we know that Esther called all of her people to
fast for three days. We may conclude that any person of age to
enter into a relationship with God through Christ is old enough
to begin learning the spiritual discipline of fasting. However,
use caution and modified fasting, as children are growing and
require complete nutrition. Consult your pediatrician if your
child shows interest in fasting, before they begin.
Gods Spoken Word on Fasting
So, we have seen in Scripture that fasting is a spiritual
discipline, meant for Gods people, and there are several
types of fasts. However, God has more to say. We know
that Scripture is the full revelation of Gods inspired Word,
and occasionally we have transcription of His spoken Word.
Fasting is a subject on which He does not remain silent.
Not only does God define fasting for us, He also tells us
exactly what fasting is not. We have the gift of knowing exactly what God requires of us in a fast, and yet it is a discipline many of us neglect. So, lets take a look at some of
what He has to say.
Isaiah 58(HCSB)
True Fasting
58Cry out loudly, dont hold back!
Raise your voice like a trumpet.
Tell My people their transgression
and the house of Jacob their sins.
2
They seek Me day after day
and delight to know My ways,
like a nation that does what is right
and does not abandon the justice of their God.
They ask Me for righteous judgments;
they delight in the nearness of God.
3
Why have we fasted, but You have not seen?
We have denied ourselves, but You havent noticed!
Look, you do as you please on the day of your fast,
and oppress all your workers.
4
You fast with contention and strife
to strike viciously with your fist.
You cannot fast as you do today,
hoping to make your voice heard on high.
5
Will the fast I choose be like this:
A day for a person to deny himself,
to bow his head like a reed,
and to spread out sackcloth and ashes?
Will you call this a fast
and a day acceptable to theLord?
6
Isnt the fast I choose:
To break the chains of wickedness,
to untie the ropes of the yoke,
to set the oppressed free,
and to tear off every yoke?
7
Is it not to share your bread with the hungry,
to bring the poor and homeless into your house,
to clothe the naked when you see him,
and not to ignoreyour own flesh and blood?
8
Then your light will appear like the dawn,
and your recovery will come quickly.
Your righteousness will go before you,
and theLords glory will be your rear guard.
9
At that time, when you call, theLordwill answer;
when you cry out, He will say, Here I am.
If you get rid of the yoke among you,
the finger-pointing and malicious speaking,10and if you
offer yourself to the hungry,
and satisfy the afflicted one,
then your light will shine in the darkness,
and your night will be like noonday.
11
TheLordwill always lead you,
satisfy you in a parched land,
and strengthen your bones.
You will be like a watered garden
and like a spring whose waters never run dry.
12
Some of you will rebuild the ancient ruins;
you will restore the foundations laid long ago;
you will be called the repairer of broken walls,
the restorer of streets where people live.
13
If you keep from desecratingthe Sabbath,
from doing whatever you want on My holy day;
if you call the Sabbath a delight,
and the holy day of theLordhonorable;
if you honor it, not going your own ways,
seeking your own pleasure, or talking too much;
14
then you will delight yourself in theLord,
and I will make you ride over the heights of the land,
and let you enjoy the heritage of your father Jacob.
For the mouth of theLordhas spoken.
In this passage, God outlines what a fast is not (Is. 58:35), what a fast is (Is. 58:6-7;9b-10a; 13) and what we can
expect when we fast rightly (Is. 58:8-9a; 10b-12; 14).
A fast acceptable to the Lord is not:
Doing as you please
Oppressing others
Fasting with contention and strife
Fasting in action only
A fast acceptable to the Lord is to:
Break the chains of wickedness
Set the oppressed free
Tear off every yoke
Feed the hungry
Shelter the poor and homeless
Cover the shame of others
Not ignore our own flesh and blood
Get rid of the yoke among us
Stop finger-pointing and speaking maliciously
Stop desecrating the Sabbath
Stop doing whatever we want on the Sabbath
Delight in the Sabbath
Honor the Sabbath by not going our own way, seeking our
own pleasure or talking too much
We can expect:
To recover quickly
The Lords righteousness to go before us and His glory to guard
us
For God to answer when we call
Our light to shine in darkness
The Lord to lead us, satisfy us and strengthen us
To rebuild ruins, to restore foundations and to repair brokenness
To delight ourselves in the Lord and to enjoy our godly heritage
So, according to Gods spoken word to Isaiah, fasting is
not merely a day of self-denial (Is. 58:5). True fasting is
turning from maliciousness, finger-pointing and dishonoring the Sabbath. It is, instead, welcoming the hurting and
becoming repairers of the foundations of many generations.
Other Scriptures on Fasting
Matthew 6 fasting is between a person and God
Matthew 9 there is a time and a way to do everything
(celebrating, rejoicing, fasting, listening)
Luke 18 we must guard against vanity when practicing
spiritual disciplines, like fasting, ensuring through prayer
that our motivations are pure and concerned only with
Gods glory
Zechariah 7 fasting is supposed to be a result of a
changed heart, done for God not man; as in Isaiah 58,
the Lord wants His people to demonstrate compassion
and mercy toward one another, even in lieu of the discipline of fasting; and when the Holy Spirit moves, if the
people do not respond, there will be judgment. Its not a
joke to call on the Holy Spirit of God.
Matthew 4 Jesus submitted to God in public baptism
and went alone to fast, armed with knowledge of Gods
Word; angels ministered to Him after His fast and He began His public ministry. God does things in order.
Psalm 35 we can beseech God on behalf of others
when we fast
Psalm 109 God is good and will deliver us (even our
weak bodies when fasting)
Jeremiah 36 while fasting corporately, the Lord may reveal His displeasure and give opportunity to repent from
evil, or we will face destruction; and it is especially important for leaders to take heed
Matthew 17 another example of Jesus dwelling in
Gods presence and pleasing the Father, ahead of a
teaching on fasting; we cannot tap into the healing power
of the Holy Spirit apart from prayer and fasting
1 Corinthians 7 affection between husband and wife
must be deprived only in times of fasting and prayer
We can see that Gods Word instructs us to enter into a fast
with a pure heart, invoking the presence and the power of
the Holy Spirit with the full intention of responding to Him
in repentance and obedience. Before fasting (Mt. 4), or
even teaching on fasting (Mt. 17), Christ humbled Himself
in obedience to God, fully experiencing Gods presence
and power in miraculous ways. Before fasting.
We do not enter into a fast in order to become spiritual
or obedient or pure. We humble ourselves and purify ourselves in daily relationship with Christ, and fast in response
to that relationship.
The Challenge of Fasting
Does this seem overwhelming, difficult to understand or
too spiritual? Thats because it is! The disciplines God
calls us to as His children are beyond our ability. Apart
from Christ, we can do nothing (Jn. 15:5), but with God,
all things are possible (Mt. 19:26).
WHY IS LBC FASTING?
A Message from Pastor Mike
Fasting is a practice unknown to many of us. We know
enough of Gods Word to know that many people throughout the Bible fasted regularly, but their example doesnt
mean much to us. The idea of eliminating certain items
from our diet and going without many foods that we love
seems strange and painful to us. Just because they did it
so long ago doesnt mean we should do it nowdoes it?
The answer to that question is yes. Not only through the
Bible, but down through history, Gods covenant people
have understood the power of fasting. How it empowers
our prayers. How it humbles our hearts. How it makes us
more sensitive to the voice of the Holy Spirit. The truth
is that weve robbed ourselves of one of the greatest opportunities we have of real intimacy with the Lord by our
neglect of the spiritual discipline of fasting.
Gods Word tells us that fasting is a powerful and effective
way for us to draw near to God. In fact, there are seven
specific reasons were told to fast:
- Because Jesus expects his followers to fast.
When you fast (In other words, he assumes well fast on
occasion as an part of our prayer lives) -Matthew 6:16-17
- We fast in order to get guidance.
And when they had ordained elders in every church, and
had prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord,
on whom they believed. -Acts 14:23
- We fast in order to add intensity to our prayers.
So we fasted and sought our God concerning this matter,
and he listened to our entreaty. -Ezra 8:21
- We fast as a sign of mourning.
Now it came about when I heard these words, I sat down
and wept and mourned for days; and I was fasting and praying before the God of heaven. -Nehemiah 1:4
- We fast to show humility in the presence of God.
I humbled my soul with fasting. -Psalm 35:13
- We fast as an act of worship.
She did not depart from the temple, worshiping with fasting
and prayer night and day. -Luke 2:37
- We fast for spiritual strength.
And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan
and was led about by the Spirit in the wilderness for forty
days, being tempted by the devil. And he ate nothing during
those days -Luke 4:1-2
Over the last few months as our church family has moved
through the growing pains of unifying our worship, Ive
seen a new hunger awakened in the hearts of many for a
deeper, more authentic relationship with the Lord. For a
more effective prayer life. For more Kingdom power to be
released into their lives. But more than on just a personal
level, all of us long to see our church enter more fully into
a new season of vibrant worship, evangelistic effectiveness
and world-wide impact for the gospel.
Its for all these reasons that Im inviting our church family
to come together and seek the Lord with one heart, one
voice and one intention through a special season of prayer
and fasting.
The Daniel Fastas described through this bookletis a
21-day fast modeled after the example of Daniel. Pam and
I followed the Daniel Fast last January and found the three
weeks to be an incredible spiritual experience as the Holy
Spirit moved in new ways throughout our lives. I want you
to be a part of this amazing journey!
Some of you are wondering why we would want to do this
as a congregation. The reason is that we are a single family
of faith, called to a specific mission and purpose. Fasting
and praying together is a way for us to more fully realize
our passion and vision for Jesus.
Others maybe are thinking that youre satisfied with your
prayer life and see no reason to upset your lifestyle for
three weeks in order to change things. If thats where you
are, I want to challenge you in a special way. All of us need
to go deeper and further with the Lord on a continuing basis. The great danger we face today is the kind of spiritual complacency that renders us useless for the Kingdom.
Fasting will sharpen your spirit and put a new hunger for
the Lord into your heart.
Then there are those who say, Id like to do this, but I
dont know if I can, and I can say from experience, yes
you can. Fasting is a disciplinetheres no doubt about
it. And it involves sacrifice and dedication. But with some
effort, planning and patience, I believe in 21 short days,
youll see a noticeable difference in your life.
Will you join with Pam and me and many others as we join
our hearts together for the first three weeks of the New
Year in order to seek the Lord? As our great congregation comes together in one passion and direction, I cant
imagine the Kingdom power and authority unleashed here
among us, to Gods glory.
May God bless you as you seek his face,
Pastor Mike
WHAT IS A DANIEL FAST?
A Daniel Fast is a 21-day partial fast. This type of fast is
modeled after Daniels fast in Daniel 10:3, I didnt eat any
rich food, no meat or wine entered my mouth, and I didnt
put any oil on my body until the three weeks were over.
Daniels Fast
Scripture records several examples of Daniel fasting. As
recorded in Daniel 9, Daniel fasted in order to understand
a prophecy concerning the desolation of Jerusalem and
their release after 70 years in captivity. So, he wrote,
I turned my attention to the Lord God, to seek Him by
prayer and petitions, with fasting (Daniel 9:3).
As Daniel prayed, he rightly acknowledged who God is, he
humbly confessed the sins of the people and he boldly
and desperately beseeched God to be merciful and compassionate. Daniel recalled that even though the people
had been warned that God would fulfill His promise of destruction, they still would not turn from their sin (Daniel
9:13). Daniel knew Gods people had placed themselves
in the path of Gods wrath, and had become an object of
ridicule to those around them (Daniel 9:16).
Daniel petitioned God to show favor to His desolate sanctuary, for His own sake (Daniel 9:17). Scripture records that
at the beginning of his petition, God heard Daniels voice,
and the answer was sent out immediately (Daniel 9:23).
Daniels Last Recorded Fast
The next time we see Daniel, he is once again fasting and
seeking the Lord. (We know by now that fasting is a regular discipline in Daniels relationship with God). This fast,
in which he receives his final prophetic vision, is Daniels
21-day fast.
Gods Answer
But though Daniel mourned and fasted and prayed for 21
days, no answer came to him. Only on the 24th day, after
his fast was complete, did the heavenly messenger come
to Daniel with the answer. The heavenly messenger told
Daniel that, once again, from the moment he purposed to
understand and to humble himself before God, his words
were heard (Daniel 10:12). Then, why did it take so long
for the answer to actually get to Daniel? All we know is
that as Daniel fasted for 21 days, a battled ensued in the
spiritual realm. The prince of Persia opposed the heavenly messenger for 21 days, until Michael came to help him
(Daniel 10:13). So, Daniel received his final prophetic vision after the completion of his 21-day fast.
It is interesting that Daniel fasted for 21 days, and though
his prayer was heard and the answer sent out immediately, the enemy opposed the angel sent to answer him for 21
days. Oh, Church, there is great power that comes from
fasting, and the enemy knows it! But greater is He is that
is in you, than He that is in the world (1 Jn. 4:4). Daniels
voice was heard, God cherished that voice and He prevailed in bringing the answer to Daniel. Brothers and Sisters, when you fast, do not give up. God will answer you,
too!
Why We Should Fast Like Daniel
Daniels fast is not to be emulated because of the restraint
he showed in abstaining from food and drink. His fast is to
be emulated because of the condition of his heart. Daniel
mourned for the sin of his people. Daniel mourned for the
desolation of Gods sanctuary. Daniel mourned for the sake
of Gods righteousness. Daniel mourned for the promised
coming judgment of Gods people. Where else could Daniel turn but to the very One whose holy wrath would destroy His own people, but whose unmerited mercy would
save them?
So I turned To the Lord God And pleaded with Him In
petition and prayer with fasting.
HOW DO WE FAST?
The following pages include safety guidelines for fasting,
food lists, sample day menu, devotional planning and resources for the Daniel Fast. However, the Internet, the local
bookstore and the library are full of even more resources
for the Daniel Fast. You will need to pray and choose a
menu and devotional plan that will work for you and your
family during your 21-day Daniel Fast.
Guidelines for Fasting
From danielfast.wordpress.com Guidelines Brochure,
During the Daniel Fast you will not consume any sugar or
sweeteners of any kind, nor will you have any caffeine or artificial chemicals. Many people experience a physical detox
during the first few days of the fast including headaches, fatigue, leg cramps and other typical symptoms.
You can reduce these effects by weaning yourself from these
foods before the fast begins and also by drinking at least
gallon of filtered water each day before, during and after the
fasting period.
Anytime you have concern about symptoms you may experience, be sure to contact your health professional. Fasting
should never be harmful to the body.
Five Steps to Your Successful Fast
1. Pray before you fast, seek the Lord through prayer
and ask Him to show you the purpose for your fast. Dedicate this time to Him and invite Him to lead and direct you
during your fast.
2. Plan you will want to select your start date, establish
the purpose for your fast and clear your calendar of as
many obligations as possible.
3. Prepare taper off caffeine, sugar and processed foods
to avoid withdrawals when you begin your fast. Gather
study materials, create a daily schedule, collect recipes
and plan one weeks menus before you begin your fast.
4. Participate this is where it all begins . . . you participate in the fast. Examine yourself as you fast and use this
valuable experience as a time of learning and growth.
5. Praise and Process You will gain valuable lessons on
the fast that you will want to carry forward into your everyday life. Thank God for the good things youve received
during your fast and evaluate your experience so you can
grow from this amazing time.
NOTE:
If you have health issues, are pregnant, nursing, etc. then
you should speak to your doctor before beginning the Daniel Fast. Ask how you can modify this fast in order to safely

and growing closer to the Lord.
