BE SINCERE:

When fasting, it is important to approach the activity with honesty and sincerity towards yourself and God, as this will lead to greater understanding and clarity. Nothing is hidden from God, therefore start fasting with an open heart. 

BE CONSISTENT:

Even when you are being sincere, it is still possible to make mistakes and feel weak or discouraged to continue. If you fail, try again. God does not expect you to be perfect immediately, but He desires that you grow and make progress. Consistency is key when it comes to fasting. Make sure to stick to your fast, even if you are feeling weak or tempted to quit. Remember, fasting is a spiritual discipline that requires perseverance and determination.

PRAY OFTEN:

Fasting without praying has little or no benefit to your spiritual life. Fasting is not just about abstaining from food, it’s also about spending time in prayer and studying the Word of God. Make sure to set aside dedicated time each day to pray, read the Bible, and reflect on what you are learning. 

BE ACCOUNTABLE:

Find a fasting partner or accountability group to share your journey with. This will not only provide you with support, but it will also help you stay accountable and motivated to continue fasting.

MAXIMIZE ENERGY:

Your energy is very important when you are fasting. Minimize your involvement in random activities that consume your time and energy.

Just to add…Take more liquid, when you break your fast.

Incorporating these 5 secrets into your Christian fasting will help you to maximize the spiritual benefits and grow closer to God. Remember to keep your focus on Him, and trust that He will guide you through the process.

Kindly read Isaiah 58:3-11 KJV

“Wherefore have we fasted, say they, and thou seest not? wherefore have we afflicted our soul, and thou takest no knowledge? Behold, in the day of your fast ye find pleasure, and exact all your labours. Behold, ye fast for strife and debate, and to smite with the fist of wickedness: ye shall not fast as ye do this day, to make your voice to be heard on high. Is it such a fast that I have chosen? a day for a man to afflict his soul? is it to bow down his head as a bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him? wilt thou call this a fast, and an acceptable day to the LORD? Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke? Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh? Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the LORD shall be thy rereward. Then shalt thou call, and the LORD shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity; and if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noon day: and the LORD shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.”
