What is fasting? It is a time when you stop doing most of your normal activities; particularly those that are of great importance to you; then you concentrate on spending that time with the Lord. As the Holy Spirit directs, it should be a time of reading and confessing God's word, as well as praying and interceding for others. Above all it should be a time of dedicated worship. What is the reason for fasting? It can be varied for every individual Christian, at a certain point of time. It can be breaking Satan's power, over a person's life or over situations that are not of God's will and purposes. It can also be a time of intense listening to the Holy Spirit for direction and guidance and wisdom for the future.
