SID: I was telling you that as a young believer, I fasted. I wanted more God and I expected thunder, lightning, rain, at least an audible voice, “Sid, Sid.” Nothing. Was my expectation wrong? What happened?
JENNIFER: You know, it’s funny. Even Heidi, she’ll share in the book, she doesn’t really experience much in her fasting. It’s usually before or after. I personally don’t experience these crazy things either. But the momentum and what I experience after a fast is life changing. I’m literally riding in the momentum today of what I did on a fast a decade ago. And it’s still fruit. Ministries were born and birthed from following a fast. So I think at any time you fast, God’s always doing something, if you do it with the right motives and the results, it could be a long time before we even step into the rewards, but something is always happening.
SID: There are different types of fasts.
JENNIFER: Yeah.
SID: It’s not just food. Give me some examples of fasting that people do that God honors.
JENNIFER: I think anytime you have a pure heart and the right motivations, God will honor anything he leads you to do, but there’s a whole food fast where you decide, “I’m only going to drink water”. You can fast, do a Daniel fast, only eat certain foods. You can fast social media. You can fast coffee. Literally, it’s a relationship with the Lord and asking him, what does he want you to give up so you can gain more of him? Obviously, Jesus fasted. And so I think those are good footsteps to walk into, but there’s so much grace in this process.
SID: I hear of people that fast sports for a week. I hear of people that you’ve talked about fast one meal. You have to start somewhere. People that fast watching entertainment on TV, not our show though, don’t stop that. That’ll help you in the fast. But, Jennifer, fire fast. What is a fire fast? You talk about three different ones in the book.
