Prayer and Fasting Guide
WHAT IS SPIRITUAL FASTING?
Spiritual fasting is an act of humbling ourselves before God. We choose to do
so sacrificing our natural appetite by willingly exchanging our physical
comforts to seek Him.
Results of Spiritual Fasting
Fasting can result in a great move of God in the call for healing, revival and
spiritual awakening.
Scriptural Principles for Spiritual Fasting
Joel 2, Isaiah 58:1-6, Daniel 1, Matthew 6:17-18
Fasting is a biblical discipline of abstaining from food and excessive activity for
spiritual purposes. In Isaiah 58:1-6 the purpose of Spiritual Fasting is clearly
seen.
THE PURPOSE OF SPIRITUAL FASTING IS:
· To prepare us for what God has called us to do.
· To conform us to the purpose and the image of God.
· To separate us from the influence of the world and the carnal man.
· To hear God without negative outside influence.
· To spiritually detox our spirit, mind and body of worldly pleasures.
· To equip us for the battle we wage against satan.
WHAT SPIRITUAL FASTING IS NOT INTENDED TO DO:
· Fasting is not intended to persuade God to change His mind. (Fasting helps
us conform to God and not God conform to what we want).
· Fasting will not make you more acceptable in God’s eye.
· Fasting is not a command in Scripture. It is a Scriptural principle that yields
spiritual results for those who exercise it through faith.
· Fasting is not a diet plan to lose weight. Remember, the focus and result of
scriptural fasting is spiritual and not natural.
THE CONCEPT OF THE DANIEL FAST
Scripture Reference: Daniel 1:8-14, Daniel 10:1-3
The Daniel fast is an intentional discipline of suspending enjoyment through
food taste or cravings. It is eating a small amount of plainly prepared food at
designated times. It is an act of practicing the Daniel principles of “no pleasing
bread”.
Spiritual Fasting Intentional Purpose
Breaking the will of the flesh through denying it of being satisfied through
food choices.

USE Wisdom for Ending a Fast
When your fast has ended and you begin to eat normal again, use wisdom.
Some people do really crazy things. During the fast, they save all the food they
would have limitlessly eaten and destroy the spiritual health benefit derived
from the fast.
Begin to eat slowly, not all at once and use this opportunity to develop better
eating habits. Now that you have the flesh under control, this will be easier to
do.
Special Disclaimer
Apostle Gullage and Mount Calvary International advise all partners to
consider their personal health needs, and confer with their personal physicians
prior to starting this fast. Please, earnestly seek God’s guidance.
We specifically disclaim any responsibility for any physical reaction to this fast.
Thank you for your obedience.
