Anointed Word, our corporate fast will begin on
Wednesday May 8th, 2013 and will end on Sunday May 19th, 2013
There are several types of fasts however, how you chose to fast in this corporate fast will be between you and God (we are encouraging those who can to partake in the Daniel's or Full Fast at this time of consecration).
The different fasts are as follows:
- A Full Fast (Liquid Fasting)
Which involves drinking liquids alone.
- The Daniel's Fast
Which involves eating no meat, sweets, or bread. Drink water and juice. Eat fruits, vegetables and salads.
- The Partial Fast
A partial fast is from 6:00 am to 3:00 pm, some with health concerns/risks (or those who may not be accustomed to long fasting) may choose to fast from 6:00am to 12:00pm.
This type of Corporate Fasting that we will be doing is mentioned in different accounts of scripture and can be highly affective for the success and effect-ability of the entire congregation.
