Dear Ray
I need scriptural confirmation on exactly the kind of fast that God prescribes. Should we fast til 6 pm or fast without food and water for 3 days stretch. The bible seems to record fasting that was completely devoid of food and drink. Is this the type of fast that God desires. Moses went up for 40 days and nites, no food or water. Jesus went to the wilderness for 40 days, no food and water.
Is this THE way to fast?

Dear Kola:
"Is not THIS THE FAST that I have chosen? To loose the bands of wicknedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?......" Through the rest of the chapter...(Isa. 58:6-14).
God be with you,
Ray
