Fasting 101

Please reach us at social@cdaorlando.org or send us a message on Instagram or Facebook

Fasting has been an important part of the doctrine and practice of the Assemblies of God since its beginning. Fasting is a voluntary, private, and Spirit-led separation from one’s usual activities of life. Typically it is practiced individually by members in the church body by means of separating certain foods and liquids from one’s diet. Normally fasts are held in accompaniment with prayer, and are intended to heighten focus, intensify fervor, and gain control over one’s fleshly cravings and human will.


There are some cautions to consider as you contemplate a food fast. It is wise to consult your doctor before you begin your fast to make sure there are not medical reasons why it would be harmful to radically change your diet short-term or long-term.


Persons who should not fast without professional supervision are those who...

  • are too thin or are prone to anorexia or bulimia.
  • suffer weakness or anemia.
  • have tumors, bleeding ulcers, cancer, blood disorders, or heart disease.
  • have chronic problems with kidneys, liver, lungs, or heart.
  • are on insulin for diabetes or are hypoglycemic.
  • are pregnant or nursing.


Set reasonable goals for these weeks of fasting. Consider the following:

  • Drink plenty of water.
  • Drink some fruit juice for energy.
  • Remember that some medications should not be taken without food.
  • For further information about the spiritual benefits of fasting, visit www.ag.org and key in “fasting” in the searchbox.


If it is not possible for you to fast meals, consider fasting other things such as time spent with TV, the Internet, sports, hobbies, or other interests that command a lot of your time and attention.
