I have written on fasting here in this blog several times before and want to address the subject once again. This topic is personal to me due to the reality that I fast at lengths a few times a year. It just so happens that I came off a long term fast this past week. I fasted for nineteen days as I have been desiring a deeper and more personal walk with Jesus and seeking clarity on God's vision for my life and for the life of Bridge Church.  They type of fast that I carried out was a water and juice fast. For nineteen days I survived on water and juice and lots of prayer.

Fasting long term is not for the faint of heart. Your resolve will be tested. Your faith will be tested. As a follower of Jesus, you will come under attack by the enemy. Not everyone will be lead to do a long term fast, but if you are in good health and do not have any major medical problems, I would suggest you try this type of fast (check with your Dr. first). I have done several long term fasts before, ranging form three to twenty-one days and have walked away each time refreshed and focused.
