Whats the longest you have fasted?

[Sam]

I think 30 hours without food or water.
That was years ago when I was younger and stronger and thought it was wrong to drink water to remain hydrated on a fast.
I was going to college and working at the time.

I fasted chocolate for 21 days once.

Over the years I have eaten breakfast, fasted lunch, then eaten dinner and have drunk water during the day on several occasions. I consider that a fast.

Some times I fast evening snacks --nothing from dinner until a light bedtime snack required with my medication.

Fasting is basically just saying "no" to your flesh. Just as Adam and Eve indulged their flesh by eating and brought sin into the world, we can refuse to indulge our flesh by eating to fight sin in our lives.

When Oral Roberts was a young pastor, the Lord dealt with him about the healing ministry that He had promised to him several years before. Oral Roberts would take the time ordinarily spent eating lunch and instead spend that time on his knees and in prayer. He did that for an extended period of time. I remember reading about that over 50 years ago when I was a teen ager and realized that was a good way to fast/discipline myself.
