I have friends who ever Jan do 40 day juice fasts. I have not. I would like to one day when the time is right, but my health doesn’t tolerate even a 1 day fast. At this point. Still healing.
In the meantime last year I decided to do a different kind of fast. I spent 40 days repenting and forgiving. I started with my birth. Of course I don’t remember my birth, but I do know of some details around it that were life-altering. I spoke out forgiveness for those things.
Each day I went through each year of my life and asked the Lord if there was anything in that time area that I need to repent from or needed to forgive. It was surprising how many things came up, that I remembered.
After 40 days I did feel different, but not dramatically. It was only as time went on that I really noticed I was lighter inside. There was a definite change. The fruit grew.
In retrospect after a year, I can see it was one of the most powerful fasts I ever did. And worthy of doing again.
