Wow, your article on 7 Types of Fast & 7 Spiritual Benefits was AMAZING. On June 30, 2021 my friend asked me to do a 3 day fast with her, that I declined. I told her that I couldn’t do the fast b/c I wasn’t ready and that I needed a better understanding of fasting. Well, I also told her it would be something that I would do after the 4th of July if I did it b/c I had planned a nice size party. The 4th had came and gone, and a few days prior to 7/10/21 God placed on my heart to start the Daniel fast on Sunday, July 11 (in which I was totally unprepared…lol but I started it)! Today is day 2 of my fast and here I am scrolling on Pinterest and I came across your article. I opened it and began reading; as I am reading I feel God unfold wisdom and knowledge on fasting upon me. This article has empowered me and shined such a bright light on spiritual fasting as well as the benefit of fasting. Also, a greater understanding of how important it is in doing so with our walk with God. He confirmed that he heard me and felt my true desire to understand spiritual fasting. Thank you so much! Reading this was a true blessing!
