3-Day FastThis fast can be a Full Fast, Daniel Fast or give up at least one item of food.
Partial FastA partial fast is from 6:00 am to 3:00 pm or from sun up to sundown. You can select from three types of fasting —a Full Fast, Daniel Fast or give up at least one item of food.
Scripture References for Fasting:Matthew 6:16-18Matthew 9:14-15Luke 18:9-14
Relation to Prayer and Reading of the Word:1 Samuel 1:6-817-18Nehemiah 1:4Daniel 9:3, 20Joel 2:12Luke 2:37Acts 10:30,Acts 13:2
Remember that it is the attitude of a heart sincerely seeking Him to which God responds with a blessing (Isaiah 58Jeremiah 14:121 Corinthians 8:8). May God greatly bless you as you fast!
