Follow Following. Deliverance sermons and prayers Join 2, other followers. Jun 28, Jun 29, 5. I'm changing my view from what I posted earlier. I think you should take communion. I've heard that a fast starves the body of food so you can fill yourself with the Word and Spirit. By taking communion, you're taking Christ's body and blood, so you're filling yourself, but not with mere food. Jun 29, Jul 30, 6. The Orthodox Church practices a total fast from midnight until the time of communion.
Assuming you have properly examined your conscience before, communion is always a good idea. Jul 30, Oct 13, 7. I consider that beside Your site there is future! Oct 13, Nov 16, 8. I decided to fast from food myself for one day today because I wanted to get more into the shoes of suffering persecuted believers around the world so I can pray better. I had water and took communion twice - I don't think there was anything wrong with that. I felt it was like: when we fast it is so we can feast on God rather than on the things we usually fill ourselves up with.
COmmunion is like feasting on Christ because we accept his grace for our failings and weaknesses and sins. It also helps us see how we are all dependent on God and part of a global body of people - it connects us with the people we are praying for and with by fasting with a specific prayer focus in mind like the international day of prayer for the persecuted Church.

Follow Question. Is taking holy communion during a Christian fast going to break the fast? Answers 3 Discuss 1. Ezekiel Kimosop This is a difficult question because we do not have the benefit of any express biblical teaching that would guide us. You will always be busy and stillness was made by God to be exercised in the midst of incredible responsibility. The command to be still and know that I am God , is meant to be obeyed immediately, this moment, today.
I want you to put this book down and try something. Close your eyes and focus your mind on this single truth, He is God. I've got to do six loads of laundry by tomorrow night. He is the God of my laundry. I'm angry at my husband for being so insensitive last night. He is the God of my marriage. Every worry or care that crosses your mind you place within the absolute Sovereignty of God. He is in complete control of every nuance, breath and situation in your life.
Your life is His life, because to live is Christ Php Stop trying to be God. Be still and let God be God. He is better at it than you are. People are dying of stress. Kill the giant of worry with stillness.
A stillness that shouts, He is God! Watch him writhe in the death throes of utter silence. Starve worry with a soul that has been quieted before the awesome Sovereign control of a loving God. The world is against me. In this death-trap of self-focused thoughts, the presence of God will dim. Take the stone of servant hood ; place it in your sling of faith, aim and fire! Deny your- self. Lay all your needs and pain at the feet of Jesus, then turn your back and walk away, not giving them a second thought.
But how can I do that! My mind is always filled with my problems. This world is lost and needy. We invest so much of our time in useless selfish pleasure.
Imagine if you were to spend as much time reaching out to others as you do watching the garbage on TV. Some of the most emotionally healthy people I have ever met are those who are vigorously involved with people.
Most of our problems stem from living such incredibly self-centered lives. The giant of Self has done very well on a diet of North American Materialism. Self loves to be god with everything under control.
The latest toys at the fingertips. Meanwhile, grubby hands search for a piece of crust. A lonely abused boy needs a friend. Strange, dangerous people that you can see when you drive in your warm car. If you look closely you might catch a glimpse of Jesus.
But when self is center, there is nothing that will pull the heart to action.
