This document provides guidance for a 40-day fast from a pastor named Mike and Lisa Claiborne. It discusses the purpose and benefits of fasting, including drawing closer to God and receiving spiritual blessings. Examples from the Bible are given of figures like Jesus and Moses fasting for 40 days.
21-DAY PRAYER & FASTING GUIDE. Fasting is voluntarily going without food—or some other regu-larly enjoyed gift from God—for spiritual purposes. In short, we fast from food so we can feast on God. Fasting is not our attempt to manipulate God to do what we want Him to do.
It is my heart-felt prayer that, as you use the 40 Day Juice Fast Scripture & Prayer Journal, God’s grace will strengthen you day-to-day as you seek to submit your will to His during this 40 day juice fast.
40 DAYS OF PRAYER & FASTING Fasting is truly a way to focus on God – spirit, soul, and body. FASTING SCHEDULE Please begin fasting Monday, August 6, 2018 at midnight and continue through Friday September 14, 2018 at noon. Please pray and meditate on the scriptures each day between the hours of 12:00am (midnight) and 12:00pm (Noon).
During this fast, set aside four times during the day to pray: 9:00a.m, 12:00noon, 3:00p.m, and 6:00p.m. If you are an early riser, add a 6:00a.m prayer time. FASTING FOR ADVANCED LEVEL: In this type of fast, you drink only liquids, typically water with light juices as an option during the duration of the fast.
PREPARING TO FAST n Humble yourself before God with a contrite heart; pray for the enabling, guidance and protection of the Holy Spirit (Psalms 35:13; 1 Samuel 7:6; John 15:15-21, 16:5-15). n Determine the type of fast you will carry out: Liquid-only Fast – drinking water or juice. Partial Fast – abstain from certain selected food.
• Fasting and prayer can restore the loss of the “first love” for your Lord and result in a more intimate relationship with Christ. • Fasting is a biblical way to truly humble yourself in the sight of God (Psalm 35:13; Ezra 8:21).
