Fasting and Prayer Time: Joel 2:12 "... to me with all your heart, with fasting and weeping and mourning." We can assume that more than 120 people praying for the coming of the Holy Spirit, 10 days before Pentecost, also fasted at the same time, because they remained in the same place throughout the process. This means that there went home to eat. The Ascension of the Lord, which they saw with their own eyes, was so powerful that they forgot earthly things. This brought them heavenly things in such a way that whole desire and longing was focused on the power of Heaven and the Holy Spirit

Anyone who assumes this same attitude today, will experience his own Pentecost, which is to be baptized in the Holy Spirit and fire. The apostles fasted frequently afterwards, when the first missionaries were sent (Acts 13: 2), and also when Elders were brought into their offices (ACTS 14:23). Paul exhorts us to take periods of abstinence in marriage, "for some time by mutual consent, to devote yourselves to prayer" (1 Corinthians 7: 5). He emphasizes therefore that through fasting prepares to be a servant of God (2 Corinthians 6: 5).

Fast Most people eat more. According to information provided by the health authorities, the sophisticated society today suffers from self-induced poisoning caused by overeating, abuse of drink and tobacco. Who among believers today pay attention to the following scriptures: "Putting all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge ..." (2 Peter 1: 5); "... To abstain from fleshly lusts which war against the soul" (1 Peter 2:11) Therefore, they should not true believers seriously "

How long you should fast?

2- As long as our health and physical condition permits, without resulting in damage

Four methods of detoxification

1. The pores are channels through which the body rejects large amount of toxins, and this occurs particularly during the fasting period. This is why Jesus said: "... and wash your face" (Matthew 6:17). Bathe more frequently than usual helps greatly.

2. The kidneys are activated by drinking water frequently, therefore the urine is diluted and toxins are eliminated.

3. The lungs also discarded toxic substances through breathing. It is therefore necessary fresh air deeply, and often vent.

4. The bowels are also an important part in the removal of harmful substances. Do not worry if your intestines seem to stop working altogether, as this is that no provision of nutrients. In an emergency, an enema may help. It would also help the realization of a sport or physical activity.

Water intake The stomach should also be cleaned with water. If you do not drink water during the fasting, the stomach is not cleaned and also shrink doing something that we walk hunched. In order to maximize the positive effect of fasting in the initial stages, it is advisable to drink some salt water to cleanse the bowel. Add 2 level teaspoons of salt to 1/4 liter of hot water and drink it. Without water, internal organs stagnate and our inner remain dirty. The ways in which we eliminate toxins not function. Thus water consumption is critical. The drinking water will not prevent the person approaches God. The water is pure and constantly alluded to it in relation to salvation and the Holy Spirit, which Jesus says: "Whoever drinks the water I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I will I will, will be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life ..
