Three levels of fasting

There are 3 things that fasting contents:

1) Easy: Food restrictions; Restrict your self froom eating certain things.

2) Difficult: Prayers; Praying and telling our Father in heaven everything
in your life. Also asking of guidance and strenght to continue follow His
way.

3) Most difficult: Fasting of the tounge, eye, ear, and behavior to your
neighbour; Be aware of what you say, how you say it, what you watch and
listen to, and your behavior of your fellow man.


"Be still, and know that I am God" Psalm 46:11

When fasting we should try to surround ourselves with more silence than
usual. Silence is the speech of fasting.

All of this will help your Spirit within to grow more than the flesh.
The desires of your body and flesh becomes smaller, when you help your
spirit to grow more and stronger, thus those needs become more fullfilled.
