I have done a 30 day strict Daniel fast and media fasts and such, but I have found I experienced greater encounters with God and more breakthrough when I actually abstained from food. I have done modified fasts (smoothie in the morning, bone broth at night) and water only. If I have to maintain my normal busy schedule, then a modified fast works for me. The problem with the Daniel fast (in my experience) is that although I was denying my cravings (no sugar, no meat, no wheat, etc.) I could eat anytime & I did not go hungry. My flesh did not suffer. I believe that's what James said in this video- in order to fast your flesh must suffer. There is something powerful that happens when we decide that appetite must submit, and that God is supreme over all, including this.

I noticed the same thing....when I get a deep fast I grow deeper in fellowship with God and I see things God wants me to work on in my life.

Thanks James for this great insight. Its true at times I also flip when fasting but regardless I make a personal commitment to be stronger next time and also by asking the Holy Spirit for strength.

He's right. Ive done 2 x 3 day fasts since last year and several 1 and 2 day {which were actual failed 3 day fasts} Sometimes it is difficult. I believe it is easier if you have time off work. Working as well as fasting can be hard because you are not praying. Myles Munroe said that fasting creates 'space;' not sure what he meant but eastern religions fast to open up themelves to 'spirits' this is dangerous. We do it for the Holy SPIRIT. i have a theory, not from the word of God but here goes, demons are attracted to space, {eastern meditational fasts} Also Jesus said when an unclean sprit goes out of a man it returns to find him 'swept clean' {space} he then brings several others worse than himself. Could it be that fasting for the believer 'draws out' the demonic into a place of 'vulnerability' where we can warfare against them, bind and cast them out?? I dont know but it is only a thought. There is tremendous power in fasting, so much so that Jesus 40 day fast 'drew out' satan himself to confront Jesus. Lets fast and draw out the spirits that are hindering our walk with the LORD and 'smite them' Glory to God!
