In my experience fasting has been an interesting journey. One year I decided to fast along with the church during their Daniel Fast. My life was very busy so I couldn’t really prepare in the state I was in. I have struggled with my water intake for many years, so I committed to eating food normally but only drink water for 40 days. Within a week I was hearing and seeing God so clearly. As the days continued my appetite pretty much left altogether. God did a lot of purging so I could receive the information being revealed. I ended up fasting about 6 months. During that time I was separated from jobs, friends, home, boyfriend and more. It was necessary and freeing at each step. After I did what God said of letting go my life changed forever. That year I started the road to becoming the woman of God, wife, mother, loctitian, intercessor, and that I am today. Trust that God will tell you when and what to eat as you listen, he will let you know when you go to far. Your body lets you know because your his vessel. So just listen and give yourself patience and grace. God knows, he hears. He will never leave or forsake you!
