Possible Options: 1. A Normal Fast - skip the next three meals 2. A Partial Fast - skip one or two meals 3. A Juice Fast - drink only fruit or vegetable juices during meal times 4. A Daniel Fast - eating only vegetables and drinking water and juices for a period of time 5. A Media Fast - remove the distractions of media by turning off television, radio, etc. for a period of time in order to be released to hear more clearly what God is speaking. 6. A Habit Fast - identify a habit that if changed, would help you have more time and clarity to hear from God.
TWO CAUTIONS
1. Remember that fasting is not earning an answer to prayer or trying to twist God's arm. God cannot be blackmailed... God wants to reveal His love to us and answer our prayers, and He answers out of grace. Fasting simply prepares us for God's answer. Fasting enlarges and expands our heart and increases our capacity to hear and receive from the Lord. 2. Fast only if your health allows it at this time. If you are able only to do a partial fast - do it in faith and God will honour your intentions BUT do it!!!
