Well family 2008 is almost over..we don't want to wait until January 1, 2009 to begin our vision for improvement. Let's make a resolution to prepare early. We have to choose how long to fast. It can be eight hours but more than the time from meal to meal. Can you fast, when going to bed? presumably if you will be in prayer most of the night in God's presence and until noon the next day. You can break it up over several days, if you have to go to work,to pta and business meetings. It's about our will, determination and desire to please Him, not passing out from hunger.
The Elijah Fast is used for breaking negative emotional and mental habits.
The more deeply rooted the habit the more intense the fasting and prayer, the longer you have had the habit the longer you have to fast. Nothing is easy.
The Affirmation:
I believe in the power of God over the whole person, spirit, soul and body ( 1 Thessa. 5:23). I believe that " He has given us not a spirit of fear, but of power and love and a sound mind." (2 Tim. 1:7, KJV).
Vow: God being my strength, and grace being my basis, I commit myself to the Elijah Fast for building godly character, to the glory of God.
