Church Goals for Fast | Growth: Spiritually, Numerically & Financially |
1 Cor. 9:26-27 NIV Therefore I do not run like someone running aimlessly; I do not fight like a boxer beating the air. No, I strike a blow to my body and make it my slave so that after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the prize.
Matthew 17:21 NKJV However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.
Fasting: To deny a physical craving to get something from the Spirit

3. Three days is practical for most people
4. Drink about a gallon of water daily
5. Normal fast: juice and clear broth for longer periods of time
