* Luís Alberto Alves
The Christian needs to put on prayer. Asking the Lord to cover him with his crimson blood, surround him with his anointing and reveal more and more his will, how to act to please him. God likes worship. Something that fills your heart with love, for it shows the servant's gratitude to Jesus Christ.
When we fast we must stay in the spirit. We disconnect from the world, especially from social networks. Fasting is a time of intimacy with God. It is good at this time to read the Bible, to meditate on the Word. Have no relationship with the world in this period. If you are in the service, stay in the mood, avoiding conversations about indecent subjects or something that will add nothing.
The fast must be complete. There is no fasting half-way, that is, not drinking water, but drinking soda, not eating lunch, but eating sweet. Fasting accepted by God is deprivation of food for as long as it is necessary: it may vary from 1 hour to 6 hours, depending on the resistance. Not worth is fasting for 15 minutes or half an hour. This is a regime, not a fast.
Never fast asleep. Fasting when lying down and delivering on waking. Because in this period the body and the spirit were not touched. The essence of fasting is to break the spirit. Sleeping no one does that. When Daniel fasted, he did not sleep. Only when he was awake for 21 days.
