Why do you think your fast isn't working? Why do others speak of spiritual breakthroughs while you only experience hunger and frustration? The answer is not to fast longer, it's to fast with understanding.
In The Fast That Transforms, pastor and teacher Omar Guzm n delivers the most honest and complete guide to biblical fasting you will find grounded in Scripture, forged in personal experience, and informed by science.
This is not a book of theories. You have fasted for one week, eleven days, fifteen days, and twenty-five days. He has experienced the direct attack of the enemy during extended fasting. He has nearly dehydrated. He has navigated the physical and spiritual territory that most fasting books never enter, and he brings you with him.
Inside you will find:
The one definition of fasting that changes everything and why most believers have it backwards A direct biblical correction of the popular "Daniel Fast" what Daniel actually did, and what we invented The real reason your body suffers in the first days of fasting it's not hunger, it's sugar, caffeine, and more The colored water method a practical tool for surviving the hardest hours of an extended fast What happens between days 10 and 15 the Nobel Prize-winning science behind the body's deep cleanse Why the enemy attacks with unusual intensity after day 15 and exactly how to respond A detailed day-by-day protocol for breaking an extended fast safely and why getting this wrong can be fatal The truth about collective fasting, fasting as a lifestyle, and fasting in spiritual warfare.
This book will also correct one of the most widespread errors in evangelical churches today: the misnamed "Daniel Fast." With clarity and respect, Guzm n examines what Daniel actually did in chapters 1 and 10 and why calling a vegetable diet a "biblical fast" misrepresents both passages.
Whether you have never fasted or have fasted for years without understanding why, this book will permanently change the way you approach one of the most powerful disciplines in the Kingdom of God.
The fast that transforms does not begin when you stop eating. It begins when you decide to stop living for yourself.
