WHY FAST ?
Fasting is a Biblical principle. It is NOT merely going without food for a period of time. Stated
simply, Biblical fasting is refraining from food for a spiritual purpose. Fasting has always been a
normal part of a relationship with God. The purpose of fasting is to release the power of God and
to bring one into a deeper, more intimate, and powerful relationship with the Lord.
MFMs consecration will consist of two (2) types of fasts:
DANIEL FAST
To abstain from certain foods. This fast consists of the consumption of fruits, vegetables and
water. The Daniel Fast is of great value, especially where circumstances make it impossible to
undertake an absolute fast.
Biblical Reference: Daniel 10:3
THE ABSOLUTE FAST
To abstain from all foods and liquids. Normally, this fast was never more than three days, as any
longer period of fasting might have proven physically injurious.
Biblical References: Acts 9:9, Ezra 10:6, Esther 4:16
