And I am glad you posted it. This is a lost discpline among Christians and one that could really turn lives and churches around. If we don&#39;t talk about it, everyone assumes that no one is doing it. I have encouraged many among Christians I know, but few have taken up the practice/discipline. It has been invaluable inmy life as I seek after our Lord Jesus. May our tribe increase!Billhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12708155983161679127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5008001524969887840.post-52369965282336085382010-01-05T21:36:10.968-05:002010-01-05T21:36:10.968-05:00I think that the 24hr fast is a great way to start. It is excellent for corporate fasting. I&#39;ve tried to encourage many in this direction. If you line your dinners up right (early the first day, late the second), then you can fast 24 hrs while only skipping breakfast and lunch. This is one of the fasts suggested by <a href="http://www.jentezenfranklin.org/fasting/" rel="nofollow">Jentezen Franklin</a> in his book on fasting.Nathanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02891830437510710236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5008001524969887840.post-34098654922499304242010-01-05T16:50:44.058-05:002010-01-05T16:50:44.058-05:00Love the pun...A &quot;fast&quot; start to the New Year...:)<br /><br />Great stuff, man. I went through a period last year where I fasted one day a week, just for 24 hours each time. Great idea to have an extended fast at the beginning of the year. It really does change your mental and spiritual focus.Matthew Robbinshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14601813210055391284noreply@blogger.com
