In  my post on how to survive the end times I say do a 40 day fast like Elijah.  Well, you probably can't be like Moses or Elijah if they didn't drink water on the fast.

But you can if you drink water.  There are alot of books out there on how to do a long fast, but here are the main points.

-Most people get hurt by standing up to fast they get dizzy and fall.  (I fainted 2 times on my 40 day fast that actually lasted 29 days).

-this leads to the next point.  If you feel a tickle in your throat this will turn into parasystocic spasms a sign your body has used up the healty fat reserves and is starging to canibalize your organs. Stop fasting immediately because you are now starving not fasting.

-I saw a doctor every 10 days and had blood work don't on my electolites and was ok every time.


-Some people should not fast such as pregnant mothers or cancer patients.

-Derek Prince has a good book on the history of fasting in America how it changed our history

-Mahesh Chevada has a good book on fasting, he a Kenyan evangelist now in America had done many 40 day fasts.

-Joel Fuhrmans secular book on fasting inspired my 40 day fast with the line "just because you don't eat doesn't mean you don't have food".  For example one guy was so heavy he had 366 days of food stored in his body.

Me being a skinny guy only had 29 days of food.

One thing is Jesus is God in flesh he no orindary person.


Most people wont live without eating after two weeks after that death can accour.


It is said you can only live about 1 week with no water also

I respectfully disagree with what you are saying because the average person drinking only water can fast 40 days.  

This doesn't put down Moses because the Hebrew indicates he drank no water, his being actually a supernatural 80 day fast.

The Messianic passage of Jesus fasting 40 days has a greek word indicateing a total fast.  

Total fast means water and not food.

Absolute fast means no water or food or anything.

I am not recomending that.

Some people do and Ester fast of no food or water 3 days but this is something you should do only in a dire situation like Ester was in and, or God is leading you.

But again, try to know what you are doing before you do any fasting.

mahesh chavda I've read his testimony is
quite amazing especially when he writes about visiting heaven and hell when he was dead for3 days ,he was a monk of some sort he had had no contact with christianity what soever yet he desribes talking with Jesus  and describes how Jesus showed him hell where he was shown all the false prophets in torture though Jesus Himself did not enter and then speaks about Jesus showing him heaven Mahesh goes on tosay that Jesus was sending him back  to declare His Name, after mahesh was ressurrected he preached Christ in the monastery and most if not all came to faitth  

also Mahesh was Indian not Kenyan, john calvin
ps he is agreatevangelist I've been to hear him speak a couple of times
