Frans Meintjes reports on fasting …

Christ said that His servants would fast. In Matthew 6 Jesus teaches by giving instructions on WHEN you give, WHEN you pray and WHEN you fast. Thus, in Jesus’ teachings these three are duties for every Christian. But what is a fast? Is it starving yourself? Is it missing one meal – or more than one? How do I fast? How do I prepare to fast? How long should I fast for? All these and other questions are dealt with briefly in this document – A Quick Guide to Fasting – which I hope you find helpful.
