Well I was taught there is fasting and mourning. Fasting is when limit certain foods and at for the most part you pray and talk to God no TV,no music, no disturbance. Mourning is a whole different topic. I fine both to be very cleansing for the mind body and soul.

I have actually fasted a few times.

I did the Daniel Fast for 2 weeks, where i cut meat out my diet and only ate organic foods (potatoes, fruits, etc.)

I also fasted for 2 days where the only thing i consumed was water. That was exciting!

I also did a media fast where I stayed clear of the internet, tv, movies, etc. only thing i did was watch news for 1 hr a week. I did this one for a month.

I must say that over the course of each journey I experienced more clarity than ever. did you do your fast yet? if so how was it?

I do fast. Fasting isn't done much in churches today same goes for tithing many people overlook these 2 keys that I believe God has given us to unlock the blessings waiting in the wings for us.

When I fast it is often for spiritual breakthrough and its also a great way to focus on God and building up your inner spirit too.

I have done a dry fast for 3 days, however i'd break at 6pm. I have also done a fast where all I consumed was fruits and water, another fast where it was just water too.

I do feel that I have a clear outlook once it is over.

My last fast I did was actually during Christmas, I was ill and was told that i'd have to have an operation, I had an op the year prior and dint want to go through another, so I prayed and fasted for 3 days about the ailment and when I went to the hospital for the examination prior to the op, the illness has gone, so I most definitely believe that Fasting is key in breakthroughs.
