The Old Testament mentions fasting on several occasions. This post is specifically about those instances of biblical fasting that are related to battle or fighting off enemies.

What is your best advice for someone who is new to fasting? Start small and gradually increase the duration and intensity of your fast. The goal is not primarily physical (although your physical body can receive great benefits from fasting) but it’s about building up your spirit and drawing closer to the Lord.

In this post, we’ll talk about how long your fast could be, what the Bible says about how long Daniel fasted, and the significance of numbers in the Bible.
