He will move mightily on your behalf.<\/p><p><strong>PREPARING SPIRITUALLY:\u00a0<\/strong>Confess your sins to God. Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal areas of weakness. Forgive all who have offended you and ask forgiveness from those you may have offended. (Mark 11:25, Luke 11:4; 17:3-4)<\/p><p><strong>HOW TO BEGIN:<\/strong> Start with a clear goal. Be specific.

Are you facing financial difficulties?<\/p><p><strong>START WHERE YOU ARE:<\/strong> We are all at different places in our walk with God. Likewise, our jobs, daily schedules, and health conditions are all different and place various levels of demands on our energy. So most importantly, whether you&#8217;ve fasted before or this is your first time, start where you are. Your personal fast should present a level of challenge to it, but it&#8217;s very important to know your own body, know your option and, most importantly, seek God in prayer and follow what the Holy Spirit leads you to do.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-930f59f e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"930f59f\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6c89e41 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"6c89e41\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-29dbdcc elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"29dbdcc\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Fasting Tips:<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b80d1df elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"b80d1df\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;,&quot;_animation_delay&quot;:300}\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6ba3d1f elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6ba3d1f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Headaches, bad breath and run down feelings are signs that the fast is working.
