Here’s Some Additional Information:

Like prayer and Bible reading, fasting is one of the spiritual disciplines of followers of Jesus.

The information below will answer many of your questions about fasting.

What is Prayer and Fasting?

Prayer is connecting with God; fasting is disconnecting ourselves from the World.

Biblical fasting is, very simply, denying oneself for the sake of getting closer to God.

Why Should I Fast?

Over time, it’s very easy for our souls (mind, will and emotions) to become full of junk. Fasting is a way to give our bodies and our souls a deep cleansing. When we do, we find that not only do we feel better, but as we get closer to God, we are more in tune with His voice. Fasting is not a diet. You diet to LOSE weight. You fast to GAIN a closer connection with God.

How Do I Fast?

There are several different types of fasts. At the beginning of each year, TWC follows the Daniel Fast for 21 days. Due to dietary restrictions, some will give up specific foods such as bread or sweet or activities such as social media, watching television, or toxic speech. The main thing to remember is don’t make this time all about what you give up. Most importantly, this time is about getting closer to God and replacing common distractions with prayer, reading our Bibles, journaling, and seeking His face.

How Should I Prepare to Fast?

If you are sacrificing food or committing to the Daniel Fast, it’s smart to plan ahead and make sure you’ll have plenty of the fruits and vegetables on hand. We have provided a list of nutritious foods that you can enjoy while on the Daniel Fast.
