Re: 18 day fast unto the Lord

Wow, that's extremely impressive if you fasted for 18 days on just water... If not, you must be in a really good state of health and have fantastic will-power... So congratulations to you!

Hi Mira :),

Thank you for your kind words.  My health is good and my will power good enough, but not in this case enough to get me past 18 days when i had hoped to be taken much longer. :). 

Did you drink any juice? Take any herbs or essential oils?

None of the above and nothing else at all except water, and i also abstained from tastes in my mouth like toothpaste, brushing only with water partly because these other things are inclined to awaken hunger and otherwise interfere with the fast.

I find it amazing that with such a focus on fasting in the Bible and fasting being taught by most of the major religions of the world, that very few Christians ever attempt to fast.

Yes, seems like maybe a blind spot, even as the importance of having immense personal intimacy with God is to many. 

I haven't felt drawn to water fasting but I fast on fruit juices regularly.

Nice Mira.  How often do you do this and how long have you gone?  Have you encountered noticeable spiritual breakthroughs through this?
