2021.01.06 The Importance of Fasting – Will you join me? Created by James on 1/16/2021 3:25:00 PM I refer quite regularly to the importance of Fasting as a way of getting closer to Father, finding truth and resolving issues. However, for various “good” reasons it is several years since I last fasted seriously, apart from one day on the Day of Atonement, Yom Kippur every year.
Last night I found a Video on YouTube “Prayer and Fasting - When you Fast by Derek Prince”.

I refer quite regularly to the importance of Fasting as a way of getting closer to Father, finding truth and resolving issues. However, for various “good” reasons it is several years since I last fasted seriously, apart from one day on the Day of Atonement, Yom Kippur every year.
Last night I found a Video on YouTube “Prayer and Fasting - When you Fast by Derek Prince”.

Derek was a powerful servant in the mid- to late twentieth century and, allowing for the withdrawal of grace regarding “God”, “The LORD”, “Jesus”, etc the message is powerful and I strongly recommend that you watch this video.
I found myself challenged to fast, I need to get closer to Father, I need to be sure that the messages I am publishing are accurate and I need financial breakthrough.
So, last night, after watching the video I forwarded it on WhatsApp to about 20 contacts who are Believers and invited them to join me on a program of seven three day water only fasts at weekly intervals.
I want to extend the same invitation to you.
What I am doing, commencing after supper last night is as follows:
- Substantial supper early Thursday night.
- Water only fast till late supper on Sunday night – drink plenty of water, eat nothing apart from the Covenant Meal.
- The Covenant Meal (Communion) Rehearsing the Covenant – portion of Matzos bread and red Grape Juice morning and evening – sufficient portion so that I can take medication without damaging my stomach lining. If you have to take medication more than twice take the Covenant Meal then as well. Pray to get closer to Father, to have new truths revealed, to be corrected on any errors, for help with finances – wisdom to get wealth, leading in your business, etc.
- Worship whenever possible.
- Read uplifting books / watch uplifting videos / etc whenever possible.
- Pray your goals regularly during the day, thank Father for answering your prayers.
This will be I think the eighth time I have done such a fast and, historically, every such fast has come with considerable revelation and drawing much closer to Father.
In response to feedback consider the following:
- If your health is not strong, consider soup and vegetables or similar. As Derek Prince says choose the fast as it suits you. In the video he is advocating primarily a one day fast during daylight with a meal at supper time – in other words a 24 hour fast.
- I am advocating a series of seven three day fasts because I have considerable experience of the power of such a fast.
- If you are pregnant, probably not advisable to fast or perhaps a partial one day fast or similar.
- If you are battling with the consequences of the Pandemic, stressed, worried about your health, not as close to Father as you could be / should be, I suggest that finding excuses is NOT advisable, rather just GO for it 😊
- If you are faced with strenuous and physically demanding work you could take several slices of bread with communion three times a day as a way of rationalizing your food intake while, at the same time, taking sufficient nutrition to cope with your physical needs.
I encourage you to join me with whatever objectives seem right to you but strongly recommend “growing close to Father, revelation of important truths and breakthrough”. You can start today and then synch with me next week – and there is NO reason why you have to do Thursday night to Sunday night, I just find it easier to fast over weekends 😊
Please let me know how it goes 😊
