Intermittent fasting

discipline of fasting as I witnessed two different completely different approaches, which people engaged concerning the practice. I grew up in a Korean church that was very amiable toward the practice of fasting. I remember how the church had a regular practice of fasting once every year, as a body of Christ. As a body of Christ, the practice was done in order to seek and pray for a revival of church or improvement of spiritual sense to God. However, when people practiced an individual fasting,…

Esquivel argues that family traditions are meant to be broken. Alex, John’s son, sees Esperanza and immediately states that he wants to marry this little girl. He was struck by Esperanzas beauty. Even at such a young age, and with little to no understanding of family tradition, Alex proclaimed he wanted to marry Esperanza. Esquivel writes, “They all laughed at that, but when Rosaura explained to Alex that he couldn’t because this little girl was destined to take care of her until the day she…

Fasting is a Christian discipline for one who wants “to let go of an appetite in order to seek God on matters of deep concern for others, myself and the world” It is a discipline that is to be done for God and seen only by God. At the commencement of Bible College I understood fasting to be a practice that people in the church did in order to get God to hear their prayers and move on their behalf and answer the prayers that they had placed before Him during the time of fasting.

Let’s Get Our WAG On It was an overcast Saturday, May 31, 2014, a date I will never forget. Fear of the unknown, fear of inadequacy, fear of my abilities, fear of people I barely knew, and in the midst of my fear I realized time is up! I am at the base of Winding Stair Gap, a steep hike up a winding trail 6.2 miles up at an elevation of 1,500 ft. Fear is now in the middle of my throat. What have I done? I questioned myself mentally. Oh Lord Jesus, I cannot do this, what was I thinking, I prayed…

approximately 23 hours, I was still surrounded by media. Whether that was the pictures on the walls of my room, practicing choral music during a six and half hour rehearsal, drawing in my notebook, or taking a shower. In short, the only time I was actually fasting from media was the 10 hours I was sleeping. However, even then I could have been dreaming of scenarios or people I encountered through the media. The media is basically inescapable since I live in an urban city, am a (music) student…

God’s help in selecting a discipline that is not as strong and consistent as it should be. While there are a number of disciplines that I could select for this assignment, in my heart, and what I believe God is pointing me to, is fasting. I recognize the importance that fasting has in my spiritual journey, and should be approach in a very serious manner. Whitney wrote, “No Christian should ignore fasting’s benefits in the disciplined pursuit of a Christlike life.” I have fasted on occasion…

Chapter 7 Fasting has a true medical and celebrity pedigree. Going back to early history, the ancient Greek Pythagoras (580-500 years. BC), Greek philosopher and mathematician, founder of the famous school of philosophy, systematically starved for 40 days, rightly believing that it increases the mental perception and creativity. He demanded strict 40-day fast on water alone from each of his numerous disciples and followers. Hippocrates (460-357 BC,) the physician who created the medical…
