What Physical Effects to Expect While Fasting, Part 5 (Fasting Edition #99)

Our fasting quote of encouragement today is from Mahesh Chavda. He said: "When you are doing spiritual warfare through prayer, praise, worship, intercession and fasting, I can guarantee that the enemy will come to raise up spiritual hindrances and obstacles in your path."

Our fasting devotional today is titled "WHAT PHYSICAL EFFECTS TO EXPECT WHILE FASTING" (PART 5) from Bill Bright, founder of Campus Crusade for Christ.

During your fast, you may have your struggles, discomforts, spiritual victories, and failures. In the morning you may feel like you are on top of the world, but by evening you may be wrestling with the flesh-sorely tempted to raid the refrigerator and counting how many more days are left in your fast. This is especially true if you are new at fasting. To counteract temptations like these, take extra time with the Lord to spend with God. Step outside for fresh air and a moderate walk of a mile or two, and talk to the Lord as you walk along. And in the process always keep on sipping water or juice frequently during your waking hours.
