10 Different Types of Fasts in the Bible

10 Different Types of Fasts in the Bible
1. The Disciples’ Fast (Matthew 17:21) – For deliverance from sin, addiction,
bondage. If we fast, we can break the power of sins and addictions that limit our
freedom in Christ.
2. The Ezra Fast (Ezra 8:21-23) – For God’s help in solving problems and for
protection from Satan. Ezra said that they prayed and fasted and God answered
their request.
3. The Samuel Fast (1 Samuel 7:6) - For revival. The people were bound by idol
worship and needed deliverance. Samuel called them to seek God and to bring the
Ark back to Jerusalem. If we fast and pray for revival, God will pour Himself out
on His people.
4. The Elijah Fast (1 Kings 19:4-8) - Mental freedom from emotional problems or
habits. Through fasting, God will show us how to overcome emotional problems
and destructive habits.
5. The Widow’s Fast (1 Kings 17:9-16) – Fasting to provide for the needy. The
widow went without food to meet the physical needs of someone else. Because
she sacrificed her food, God made sure that she had more than enough food.
6. Paul Fast (Acts 9:9) - For physical healing and to get direction from God. If we
fast and submit our will to God, He will reveal His will to us.
7. The John the Baptist Fast (Luke 1:15) - To enhance our walk with God and
witness. If we fast for the influence of our testimonies to reach others for Christ,
God will use us.
8. The Esther Fast (Esther 4:16, 5:2) – For protection from the evil one. If we fast
for protection, God will deliver us from evil.
9. The Jesus Fast (Matthew 4:1-2) - For spiritual power and victory over
temptation, the flesh and the devil.
10. The Daniel Fast (Daniel 1: 5-21; 10:3) – Fasting for health and to seek God’s
favour, purpose and vision for life.

Ways to Fast
Normal Fast – No food, water only.
Absolute Fast – Absolutely no food or water (Caution: Should not be undertaken
over 3 days and only then if you have a clear directive from the Lord and are in
good health).
Partial Fast – This could mean fasting certain meals of the day or abstaining from
certain kinds of foods (i.e.: No meat or sweets, soup only, fruit and vegetables
only, etc. In Daniel 10:3, Daniel ate no pleasant bread).
Juice Fast – Fruit and vegetable juices only.
Corporate Fast – A church or group of people who feel God has called them to
fast together for a certain period of time.
Jewish Fasting Period – The Jewish fast began at 6:00 P.M. in the evening and
ended the next day at 6:00 P.M. (Some people follow this time period to begin and
end fasts.)
Fasting Plus Prayer — Remember, fasting should be combined with prayer. God
called us to fast and pray. If you are fasting a certain meal of the day, use the time you would normally be eating to pray. The combination of prayer and fasting is a powerful way to focus on seeking God for breakthroughs and answers to prayer.
Fasting and Abstinence — Although the word “fast” is used as abstaining from
food in the Bible and does not refer to giving up other things, during a fast one can
practice abstinence from other pleasures as well, such as enter












Sugar and Its Many Negative Side Effects
Dr. Mary Ruth Swope
Nancy Appleton, PhD., lists 59 reasons why white sugar ruins your health.
Her book, THE SUGAR HABIT, lists the bibliographical reference for each reason given. For my purpose in this presentation, I have selected eight very important reasons why your intake of sugar should be controlled:
1. Sugar suppresses the immune system.
Eating or drinking too much sugar curbs immune system cells that attack bacteria. This effect lasts for at least a few hours after downing a couple of sugary drinks. Eat more fruits and vegetables, which are rich in nutrients like vitamins C and E, plus beta-carotene and zinc.
American Journal of clinical Nutrition,
November, 1973, pp. 1180-84.
2. Sugar causes hyperactivity, anxiety, difficulty in concentration and crankiness in children.
Appleton, Nancy, LICK THE SUGAR HABIT, 1968, p.16.
3. Sugar can cause arthritis.
Lancet, February 6, 1986, pp. 236-238.
4. Sugar can cause kidney damage.
British Journal of Medicine, November 22, 1980, 281-1396.
5. Sugar can produce an acid stomach.
The gastric chief cells of the stomach secrete enzymes for protein breakdown (inactive pepsinogen, and in infancy rennin). Hydrochloric acid activates pepsinogen into the enzyme pepsin, which then helps digestion by breaking the bonds linking amino acids, a process known as proteolysis.
Duffy, W., SUGAR BLUES, N.Y., Warner Books, 1976.
6. Sugar can cause hypoglycaemia
Deficiency of glucose in the bloodstream.
Duffy, W., SUGAR BLUES, N.Y., Warner Books, 1976.
7. Sugar can cause migraine headaches.
Lancet, 1:955-957, (1979).
8. Sugar can cause hunger pains and overeating.
Hunger and hyperglycemia
This lack of energy causes an increase in hunger. Simply eating will not get rid of the hungry feeling of polyphagia in people with uncontrolled diabetes, as this will just add to the already high blood glucose levels.
Science 218. No. 4571 (October, 1982) 490-491.
Keep in mind that Dr. Appleton lists an additional 51 symptoms caused by the consumption of too much white sugar!

Dr. Mary Ruth Swope
A few brave scientists and M.D.s are now being vocal about what was reported as proven in 1960 and reported at an International Nutrition Congress in Washington, D.C. – “Drinking cow’s milk is a no-no for human beings”. Cow’s milk is designed perfectly to cause 50 pound calves at birth to grow into 1500 pound adults!
Humans have no need for such a product and, in fact, our disease record is proving that to be true.
A list of conditions caused by drinking cow’s milk would include the following:
1. Far more people are unable than able to digest lactose (milk sugar). High percentages of various populations lose lactase by age two. Perhaps milk was not to be a part of the diet after that age.
2. Milk drinking increases the risk of lead poisoning in children. (University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI.)
3. Consumption of cow’s milk is a very common cause of constipation in people of all ages. (J.A.M.A.,
October 28, 1974)
4. Bedwetting was stopped in 50% of 100 children when milk was removed from the diet. (Clinical Trends in Family Practice, September-October, 1978).
5. Allergies are known to be caused or aggravated by cows’ milk consumption. It is thought to be caused by the protein content. Bronchitis and asthma along with rashes and hives are common symptoms.
6. Anemia develops in children on cows’ milk but rarely among breast-fed infants even when milk is their sole food for their first twelve to eighteen months. (Nutrition Reviews, v. 35, No. 8, August 1997).
7. Hyperactivity in children was shown to dramatically decrease when milk in all forms was eliminated from the diet. (J. Learning Disabilities, 12 (9):32-50, November, 1979).
8. Infant colic increases even when the mothers of breast fed babies have been drinking cows’ milk.
There is more but this is enough. When you study the composition of milk from different species, the Bible’s command about milk makes scientific sense. Proverbs 27:27 “And thou shalt have goat milk enough for thy
food, for the food of thy household, and for the maintenance of thy maidens.”

Live Food Makes Live People
By Dr. Mary Ruth Swope

God’s #1 Plan for Internal Detox
After careful study of the 74 Scriptures on fasting, I got the idea that fasting is included in God’s plan for a total-health-package.
After 25 years of weekly fasting, I affirm that fasting is a physiological miracle of healing that God built into the human and animal kingdoms – at least rhinoceroses, elephants, dogs, cats and other animals in addition to humans use it as a way to recoup when they feel “under the weather.”
Some Spiritual benefits as told in Isaiah 58: 1-12 are:
• Your health will return speedily. vs. 8
• Your righteous will go before you. vs. 8
• You will cry and God will answer you. vs. 9
• The Lord will guide you continually. vs. 11
• You will be like a well-watered garden. vs. 11
Examples of Physical Benefits (abstracted from a very long list):
• We lose weight easily.
• The immune system gets a boast.
• Blood pressure, cholesterol and fatty-acid levels normalize.
• Aging slows down.
• Addictions “give up.”
• Your blood detoxifies.
A final word of advice:
What pleasures you miss in eating you will make up manifold in the joy of living.
The kinds of fast, how to fast and how to come off a fast are given in detail in my book THE ROOTS AND FRUITS OF FASTING.
Dr. Mary Ruth Swope

UNDERSTANDING BIBLICAL NUTRITION
Genesis 1:11: “And God said, ‘Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth; and it was so.’” This took place the third day of creation and God saw that it was good.
Genesis 1:29: KJV “And God said, ‘Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.’” This statement was made to Adam and Eve. From this we see that the original diet that God planned for man is what we would call a vegetarian diet.
Therefore:
Eat:
􀂾 All beans, legumes, lentils, seeds & nuts. These are your main protein foods.
ô€‚ľ All whole grains. Barley, rice, wheat, oats, millet, corn, spelt, amaranth – any natural grain. Use only whole grain breads. Boxed cereals are not whole grain.
􀂾 All fresh vegetables and fruits. Eat as many of them raw as you can tolerate. Frozen or canned beggies and fruits are better than none.
􀂾 Distilled or reverse osmosis water only. Six to eight glasses of water daily is your goal.
􀂾 The key to disease prevention or prevention is to eat a wide variety of veggies and fruits and whole grains. The wider the better.
OMIT FROM YOUR DIET:
It only takes about 8 months to one year to turn sick cells into healthy cells.
􀂾 All meat. All flesh, including fish, fowl and especially pork. (See Explanation for additional details.)
􀂾 All milk products unless you can purchase certified, unpasteurized milk.
See Proverbs 27:27.
ô€‚ľ Eggs unless you can purchase fertile farm eggs – then 3-5 per week.
ô€‚ľ “Man-made” products of all kinds. i.e. Designer foods like Cool Whip are all dead foods. Dead foods make dead people.
ô€‚ľ Most canned goods. A few won’t kill you.
􀂾 All white sugar and baked goods using white flour. Use whole wheat flour and honey, maple syrup, molasses, fruit juice concentrates, dates, and raisins as sweeteners.
􀂾 All soft drinks. They contain phosphoric acid, too much sugar and artificial products which soften
bones and cause many other health problems.
􀂾 All fruit juices except freshly squeezed ones. They have too much sugar for sick cells unless you dilute them about one-half with water.
ô€‚ľ NO margarine. It is “plastic-like” and plugs arteries. Butter is OK.
􀂾 Water from your tap. Chlorine and heavy metals produce free radicals which produce carcinogens.
􀂾 High fat foods. Fried foods, sandwich meats like bologna, mayonnaise, snack foods, nuts in large amounts, doughnuts, potato and other chips.
􀂾 Use cold pressed virgin olive oil or canola oil in cooking.
􀂾 Coffee. Not more than 1-2 cups per day. None if you have cancer. Use hot water with a slice of lemon. This will help cleanse the liver, kidneys, and bladder.
Of course rest, exercise and a positive mental attitude are also very important components of a health lifestyle.
EXPLANATION:
Meat:
Genesis 9:2-3: gives us permission to eat all animals and creeping things. The only reason meat of all animals and creeping things. The only reason meat of all
kinds is off my list of foods to eat is if you are chronically ill. Present day methods of producing animals for the market – the antibiotics, hormones and drugs used are detrimental to the health of people, especially those ill with such diseases as heart problems, arthritis, diabetes, cancer, liver failure, kidney disease, etc.
Fat Foods:
Many studies have proven that a 20-30% total fat calorie diet will help reverse various diseases, especially of the heart, circulatory system and cancer. Here is how you calculate your fat calorie intake:
Look at two figures on the label of any food. See the number of fat grams (gms) and multiply it by 9.
Then, divide that number by the calories per serving.
For example: my airlines potato chip package said it had Gms of fat and 150 calories per serving. 10x9=90. 90 divided
By 150 = 60% fat. The label said, “No cholesterol”—what a misleading bit of information!!! Our body produces cholesterol from fatty foods.
The bottom line: don’t buy any food that is more than 30% fat. You will easily control your weight and your diseases by doing this.

ADDITIONAL RAW, ORGANICALLY GROWN, WHOLE, “LIVE” FOOD
PRODUCTS THAT PROMOTE THE HEALTH CELL CONCEPT:
ô€‚ľ 2-6 teaspoons of BarleyLife* a day. Drink 30 minutes before a meal or 2 hours after a meal. Mix with water or juice. *** If you consider yourself chronically ill, you may find 10 teaspoons of BarleyLife* a day to be helpful. Take 2 teaspoons every 2 hours, 5 times a day –always on an empty stomach. Start with 1 tsp. 20 minutes prior to breakfast, then 2 tsp’s – one before breakfast and one at 3PM, later 3 tsp’s, etc.
􀂾 4 glasses a day of freshly squeezed vegetable and fruit combinations. Use carrots as the basic ingredient.
􀂾 2 heaping teaspoons or more of Just Carrots*. This may be considered a substitute for fresh juicing.
􀂾 2 PrepZymes* prior to each meal.
􀂾 At least 2 heaping teaspoons of Herbal Fiberblend* per day. A dirty colon produces and sustains disease. Drink plenty of water to activate the fiber.

Nature's Healing Gifts
Dr. Mary Ruth Swope
GREEN VEGETABLES
Green vegetables have become the focus for natural health and healing. Living constituents of plants, and most importantly the chlorophyll, are receiving much attention today. They have become health giants and are recognized universally as necessities, not accessories. These jewels of nature are consumed by all of the species of animals, birds and fish in one form or another. Whether leaf or seed or sea plants each has a purpose to nourish, cleanse and detoxify its environment both before and after consumption. Fortunately, the varieties designed for humans are varied in their flavour and texture so that just about anyone can find one or more to enjoy.
The National Research Council has always recommended what any nutrition text book will tell you,

YOU NEED ONE SERVING DAILY OF A DARK GREEN LEAFY OR DEEP YELLOW VEGETABLE.

 So let me ask you, how many servings of kale, collards, turnip greens, mustard greens, spinach, beet tops, carrots, pumpkin, squash or sweet potatoes have YOU had this week? You needed seven!
It's a problem! We don't like deep green leafy and yellow vegetables. We don’t eat them and increasingly we can't even find them where we're doing most of our eating. Consequently, we are no longer getting enough deep yellow and dark green foods
( and especially not enough raw greens) to stay healthy.
Why do we need a serving of deep green leafy vegetables every day? It is due to their unique nutritional contribution to the body's requirements for health. Green vegetables are excellent sources of complex carbohydrates (the best kind), dietary fibre (so good for colon health), beta-carotene, and chlorophyll and antioxidant activity. They are usually low in fat and high in minerals and vitamins. They also contain phytochemicals that lower our risk of cancer.
One special virtue of these veggies is their green colour - chlorophyll.

 Chlorophyll in plants can be compared to the blood supply in humans. “Life is in the blood" and the life of plants is in the chlorophyll.”

A recent discovery adds more importance to our daily need for green vegetables. When man (or animals) eats green plants, the blood molecules of the plant can become the blood molecules of man by a process biochemists call porphyrin biosynthesis. This then is the clincher.

God in His infinite wisdom provided perfectly for the self-repairing, self-rejuvenating, self- energizing of the physical man through chlorophyll – the blood of the plants.

So think of this, without plants there would be no animal or human life on earth! Chlorophyll, the kind found only in green vegetables, is absolutely essential to life.

And we need one-half of a cup daily to meet our need for health.

One last thought. There is no substitute in nature for chlorophyll. Your daily diet should include foods such as:

 Turnip greens, collard greens, mustard greens, beet tops, dandelions, broccoli, kale, deep green lettuce leaves, parsley and other greens.

If your diet is low on these foods, then you need to add a chlorophyll sources such as AIM’s BarleyLife and AIM’s Leaf Greens. These two sources of concentrated chlorophyll will meet your body’s needs. They are the chemo-protectors, the chemo-preventers, chemo-attackers, chemo-reversers, yes, chemo-healers.

If you fail to eat green foods, you are failing to protect, reverse sickness or heal your body's cells. Is that what you want? Only you can decide.

EATING TO AVOID OR REVERSE
THE "BIG C" - CANCER
Dr. Mary Ruth Swope
Four nutrients are very strongly correlated with cancer-free persons - Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin E and Carotene. Selenium and Chromium are also "friendly nutrients" in relation to cancer prevention/treatment.
Carcinomas respond well to nutritional factors. Sarcomas, leukemias, lymphomas are less influenced by dietary factors.
What are the best foods to use as weapons against disease?
• Fruits & supplements of Vitamin C
• Vegetables Vitamin E & Beta-carotene
• Grains (oats, rye, barley, millet) Selenium & Chromium
Fiber intake to total 25-35 gms. daily (grains/vegetables)
Lower fat calorie intake to 30% of total calories (fewer foods from animal sources.)
Eat more "cruciferous" vegetables
a. Brussel sprouts & Cauliflower
b. Cabbage Rutabagas
c. Broccoli Turnips
● Eat more yellow foods
a. All kinds of squash Carrots
b. Sweet potatoes, Apricots
c. Pumpkin Canteloupe
● Eat more deep-green leafy vegetables
a. Kale Endive
b. Mustard greens Turnip greens
c. Spinach Beet tops
If you are serious about cancer and your body, here are my nutritional suggestions:
1.Concentrated chlorophyll: 1-2 tsps. of AIM’s BarleyLife daily. If I had cancer I would consume from 6-10 tsps. of AIM’s BarleyLife daily - 2 tsps. every few hours - always on an empty stomach. I have presented the benefits of AIM’s BarleyLife in my book: GREEN LEAVES OF BARLEY .
2. Concentrated protein from plants: AIM’s LeafGreens is a powerful source of protein from plants. It is a source of complete amino acids – without the fat of animal protein. One to two tsps/day is all that is needed.
3. Concentrated vitamin “A”: AIM’s JustCarrots supplies a variety of vitamins and minerals in a concentrated form of carrots. Mix with water to release this nutritional powerhouse. Two to three tsps per day meets your nutritional needs.
4. Essential fiber intake: AIM’s Herbal Fiberblend is the easiest way to get the necessary dietary fiber to clean and maintain a health colon. Start with 1 to 2 tsps per day and increase weekly until normal, regular elimination is established.
5. If possible, avoid all alcohol, caffeine, and sugar in all forms.
6. Avoid fried foods/ bar-b-qued meats/ soft drinks.
7. Drink 8 glasses of distilled water per day.
The bottom line: Sick cells can be changed into healthy cells through good nutrition. If I had a degenerative disease (cancer, heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, chronic fatigue syndrome or a host of others), I would take even more drastic steps than the
Genesis 1:29 diet. I would eat only "live foods" - raw fruits and raw vegetables including the AIM products listed above. I would increase the suggested daily amounts until the stools become very loose. Then, I would reduce the amounts slightly. The body is in a survival fight and it needs all the nutritional ammunition you can supply.

68 Years of Nutritional Study
by Dr. Mary Ruth Swope
The greatest lessons I have learned after 68 years of study, research and teaching in the field of Foods and Nutrition, mostly at the university level, are these:

1. Life can only come from life. “Dead food” makes dead people.
2. Life begins, is maintained and ends at the cellular level. Doctors agree!
3. Plant foods grown organically, served fresh, raw and unprocessed are our best sources of life.
They also are our best “medicines”. (The Father of Medicine, Hippocrates, said this in 450 BC – before the birth of Jesus.)
4. Man-made foods are “dead foods”; they cause disease and early death.
5. International research studies have proven that the Israelite dietary laws, when followed, produce the healthiest people on earth. (Genesis 1:29)
1:29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which [is] upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which [is] the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
1:30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to everything that creepeth upon the earth, wherein [there is] life, [I have given] every green herb for meat: and it was so.
6. Herbs made from stems, roots, bark, leaves, fruit and blossoms of natural plants outperform synthetic drugs to restore sick cells in almost all cases – and without dangerous, expensive side-effects.
7. The Bible declares barley leaves to be God’s champion food creation – the most perfect and complete of all foods. Leviticus 23:9-11 (offerings had to be perfect!)
8. I believe almonds are God’s second most perfect food creation. They are a near-perfect food. Like barley, they are a first fruit.
9. I do not believe in the germ theory of disease.
Disease results when the immune system is weak.
Poor eating and lifestyle habits cause a weakened immune system. We are then subjected to all kinds of disease because of a lack of fighter cells.
10. The “Real Doctor” is in every cell. He has a recipe for changing any sick cell into a healthy one.
Man-made drugs are needed only for crisis situations; Nutrients heal.
11. We were made to have Divine health with an expected life-span of 120 years. (Genesis 6:3)
12. Following are the basic rules of a healthy diet. I am trusting God is the most brilliant Scientist ever – and I hope you, too, will follow His advice for your physical health. Here is the record of His advice:

A. Plan A of the Original Diet for Adam and Eve (Genesis 1:29). All of Nature’s foods are balanced sources of protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals and phytochemicals (the natural medicines). Eat a wide variety in every category for the best health.
• Eleven cereal grains (barley, wheat, rye, spelt, millet, oats, etc.)
• Sixty-four vegetables.
• Beans, legumes, lentils, seeds and nuts.
• Forty-six fruits.
• Goats’ milk, eggs, cheese and butter were allowed.
• God allowed “a little” honey.
Then God cursed the soil and people began to lose their vibrant health.

B. Plan B of the Original Diet.
In Genesis 3:18 God added the green herbs of the field to their diet.
(Things like garlic, capsicum, black cohost, bee pollen, parsley, black walnut, catnip etc.).

C. Plan C of the Original Biblical Diet
In Genesis 9:3 God added meat to the approved diet with carefully designed rules to distinguish clean from unclean meats. See Leviticus 11 and Deuteronomy 14 for guidance.
Modern-day researchers confirm this information.
These are the basic rules of a healthy diet.
A very important last point is this: the quickest, easiest most accurate way to evaluate the status of your own health (before doctors get involved)
is to test the pH of your saliva and urine.

• Heart disease has been the number one killer since 1900.
• Nearly 1 million Americans die annually of heart disease.
• All new medical procedures for treating heart disease have not lowered death rates – just increased medical costs.
• 3,000 Americans die of heart disease every 24 hours.
• 40% of all American deaths are from heart disease.
• Standard medical practice treats only symptoms – not cause.
• Physician’s services totalled $78 BILLION in 2002 – not counting drugs, home health and nursing care.
• Your MD most likely has not studied nutrition.
MEDICALLY PROVEN FACTS FOR HEALING SICK HEARTS
• Heart disease can be prevented/cured by diet alone.
• There is no “special diet” for heart disease – a plant-based, whole food diet is the answer.
• Cleveland Clinic (Ohio) MD’s successfully use whole, plant foods as their major treatment for heart disease.
• The closer patients adhere to this the healthier they are.
• Blood cholesterol is an accurate biomarker for heart disease.
• Cholesterol levels above 185 mg/dl increase your chances of heart disease.
• A cholesterol level of 150 mg/dl or less assures a zero chance of heart disease.
• Animal foods above 10% of total calories increase risk of heart disease. (That’s no more than 200 calories/day!)
• Meat, milk, eggs and cheese increase cholesterol; veggies, fruits, grains, beans, nuts and seeds do not!
• Consuming dairy products give adults heart disease; children get juvenile diabetes.
• Vitamin and mineral supplements do not heal sick hearts.
• Eating salmon or other fish with scales and fins reduced ischemic stroke in men.
• Omega 3 & 6 oils may reduce heart disease. Flax seed oil and olive oil are excellent sources.
• Complications of your $50,000 by-pass (or more) surgery is: heart attack, respiratory problems, bleeding, infection, high blood pressure, stroke, loss of libido, loss of cognitive function – and more. Within 10 years, 50% will have died. Within 3 years, one-third will have chest pain again.

FACTS FOR DIABETICS TO CONSIDER
By Dr. Mary Ruth Swope
The following information is taken from Dr. Colin Campbell’s book, THE CHINA STUDY, and they correspond to my own experience in nutritional education. This information is not meant to diagnose or treat a medical condition or to cause you to not follow the directions of your medical advisor.
􀂾 Obesity is almost always a factor in diabetes,
􀂾 Diabetes usually comes to adults around 40 yrs. old.
􀂾 recently, adult diabetes is found in young people in 45% of cases.
􀂾 Juvenile diabetes is caused by children drinking cow's milk.
􀂾 Modern drugs and surgery offer no cure for diabetes because they do not treat the cause.
􀂾 Diabetes in the U.S. is big business - about $30 billion a year.
􀂾 The right diet may prevent and treat diabetes.
􀂾 Countries with high rates of diabetes have accepted either a high fat or a high carbohydrate (CHO) diet.
􀂾 Research has proven a high complex CHO diet with low-fat causes deaths to drastically decrease (20.4 to 2.9 per 100,000.)
The bottom line:
􀂾 HIGH COMPLEX CHO diets are linked to low death rates from diabetes.
􀂾 Lower animal protein diets result in lower incidence of diabetes.
􀂾 Western-type diets are strongly associated with diabetes.
􀂾 Among Seventh Day Adventists, the vegetarians had about 50% less diabetes than meat-eating
members.
􀂾 Grain-based diets result in low incidence of diabetes.
􀂾 High fiber diets result in low incidence of diabetes.
The bottom line:
􀂾 Whole plant based diets prevent diabetes.
􀂾 Animal based diets result in high incidence of diabetes.
Recommendations:
􀂾 Type 1 diabetics were able in three weeks to lower their insulin shots by 40% by eating a veggie diet. Cholesterol levels dropped by 30%. That means decreased likelihood of heart disease and stroke.
􀂾 Type 2 diabetics fared even better. In a matter of weeks, 24 out of 25 patients were able to discontinue their insulin intake.

A PRESIDENT AGREES WITH KINGS ---
THERE IS A CONNECTION BETWEEN
FASTING & PRAYER
Dr Mary Ruth Swope
We all have a great heritage for respecting and fearing God. Let me read for you a portion of a proclamation written over a century ago to help us appreciate our national history.
One of our most famous presidents wrote: “We have been the recipients of the choicest bounties of heaven. We have been preserved for many years in peace and prosperity. We have grown in numbers, wealth and power as no other nation has ever grown.

“But we have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious hand which preserved us in peace and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us. We have vainly imagined, in the deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own. Intoxicated with unbroken
success, we have become too self-sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming grace, too proud to pray to the God that made us!

“It behoves us, then, to humble ourselves before the offended Power, to confess our national sins, and to pray for clemency and forgiveness.
“Now, therefore, in compliance with the request and fully concurring in the views of the Senate, I do, by this my proclamation set aside March 30, 1863, as a day of national humiliation, FASTING and PRAYER.”
He goes on to say “…this is authorized by divine teachings, that he believes God will hear our prayers and will pardon the sins of the nation and bring restoration, with unity and peace as the final outcome.”
And who wrote this proclamation? It was President Abraham Lincoln – one of the most respected presidents of the United States.
Let me say, humbly, that I believe there would be great merit in our day – even now, today and tomorrow, until He comes again – for us to regularly declare times of individual and collective fasting.

If I were to tell you that we, as the body of Christ, RULE BY PRAYER, none would argue with me. But if I were to tell you that FASTING greatly intensifies prayer, I might provoke some controversy. Let me explain why I believe I’m right.
But first, let me make one observation about the prayers of the Christians I’ve been exposed to for the past 60 years.

The people I know pray for:
The sick, Pastors, Missionaries, Shut-ins, Evangelists, The unsaved,
Family members, Local church problems and Armed forces.

I have hardly ever heard Christians pray for our government. Let me exhort all of us to spend more time praying for the president and all our government leaders rather than criticizing and maligning them. Our words, you know, either curse or bless. So let’s begin to bless them.

We know God wants us to do this. The Apostle Paul told Timothy to pray:
1st “…that supplications, prayers and intercessions and the giving of thanks be made for all men,” and 2nd “…for kings and all that are in authority.” Why? “That
we may lead a quiet and peaceable life.” Why is that?
“That the gospel may be preached in peace, that people might be saved and the community and nation become strong.”

So to what divine teachings was President Lincoln referring? I’m not sure. But I am sure that he had 35 examples in the Old and New Testaments to choose from. In studying these examples, I found that the length of the fast could not be identified in the majority of the fasts but 3 days was most often mentioned in the records.
We know that a few saints fasted for 40 days – Moses and Elisha fasted without food or water and Jesus Christ fasted without food.

Let’s look at a few examples, telling very briefly who was involved, what the situation was and what they did and, then, what happened:
I. Let’s begin with King David as recorded in 2 Samuel, Chapter 1. His little child was ill. He fasted for 7 days, telling his servants, “While my child is alive, I will fast and weep. Who can tell whether God will be gracious to me that my child will live.”
This shows me that David had probably had prior experience with fasting. He knew that fasting and praying, with weeping, in other words – humiliation before God – was the most powerful thing he could do.

We all know the child was not spared. But I would be willing to say that David did not regret his efforts to seek Divine intervention for his little boy.
II. Let’s look at another situation:
In 2 Chronicles, Chapter 20, we read about Jehosephat. He was expecting to be attacked by the Moabites and the Ammonites and he was afraid. So he proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah. People came out of the cities of Judah – even wives and children to do what:
a. To seek the Lord;
b. Unite in declaring God to be their God;
c. To fast and pray.

What happened? God told them: “Don’t be afraid. The battle is not yours, but God’s.” What encouragement! God spoke and said:
aa. “You won’t need to fight;”
bb. “Just stand still and watch God work;”
cc. “I’ll tell you what to do and how to do it.”
dd. He appointed singers, not soldiers. When they began to sing and praise God, they won!
III. Corporate fasting is found in Ezra, Chapters 7 & 8.
Ezra was a great spiritual leader. He asked permission of the King to take a copy of God’s laws to Judah and Jerusalem. He also wanted to take some gold and silver as an offering to the God of Israel. He gathered about 200 priests and other countrymen to travel with him. The he asked the men to fast and pray for 3 things:
i. For a safe trip;
ii. That they would be protected from bandits;
iii. That their children would be safe during their absence.

What happened? They were protected and kept safe from bandits!
IV. In the book of Esther there is another record of the power of fasting. You know the story well but allow me to remind you of the facts:
There was a plot to kill all the Jews. The king had issued a proclamation to kill ALL Jews. That included men, women and children in all the provinces. The date was set for February 28 of the following year. In all the provinces there was great mourning, fasting, weeping and despair at the king’s decree.

Then Esther, the queen, became involved. She heard the whole story from her cousin, Mordecai. So she asked Mordecai to gather all the Jews and fast for her – to not eat or drink for 3 days. Esther and her maids also fasted.
“Then,” she said, “Though it is strictly forbidden, I will go into the king to make my request.” She did and the king gave her favour. He spared Mordecai from being hung on a gallows at the hand of Haman.
In addition, the king reversed Haman’s decree to destroy the Jews throughout all the king’s provinces. The Jews chose the very same day, February 28th, to celebrate their victory.
Would it have happened this way without the
fasting and prayer?
There are 31 more illustrations to draw from but let me remind you of a sad situation:
In Jeremiah 14, God told Jeremiah:
1. “Don’t pray for these people anymore”;
2. “Don’t ask me to bless them”;
3. “They have not tried to follow my ways.”
Then the people told God:
1. “Yes, we’ve sinned”;
2. “But help us for the sake of your reputation”;
3. “We’re known as your people, we carry your name”;
4. “You are passing through our land”;
5. “Are you helpless to save us?”
But the Lord replied to Jeremiah:
1. “Don’t ask me anymore to bless them”;
2. “Don’t pray for them anymore”;
3. “When they fast I will not pay any attention”;
4. “When they bring their offerings and sacrifices, I will not accept them.”
5. “What I will give them in return is war, famine and disease.”

So it is a sober thought! We can wander away from God so far that He will refuse to bless us, even if we fast and pray.
Let us look at Isaiah 58 – this chapter contrasts God’s and man’s ideas about fasting.
Man said to God: “We have fasted before you. Why aren’t you impressed? Why don’t you hear our prayers. We’ve done MUCH penance and you don’t even notice!”
God quickly answered them. “Because you are living in evil pleasure, fighting and quarrelling while you are fasting this kind of fasting will get you NOWHERE with me.”
Then He tells them the kind of fast He wants:
1. “Stop oppressing those who work for you”;
2. “Share your food with the hungry”;
3. “Bring those who need food right into your home”;
4. “Feed the helpless, poor and destitute”;
5. “Clothe those who are cold”;
6. “Don’t hide from your relatives who need help.”
Now, listen to this – God said, “If you do these things”:
1. “I will shed my own glorious light upon you”;
2. “Your godliness will lead you forward”;
3. “Goodness will be a shield before you”;
4. “The glory of the Lord will protect you”;
5. “When you call, the Lord will answer you quickly”;
6. “Stop oppressing the weak”;
7. “Stop making false accusations”;
8. “Stop spreading vicious rumors”;
9. “Feed the hungry”;
10. “Help those in trouble”—
Then –
1. “Your light will shine out from the darkness”;
2. “The darkness around you shall become as bright as day”;
3. “The Lord will guide you continually and satisfy you with
good things and keep you healthy”;
4. “You will be like a well-watered garden, like an everlasting spring”;
5. “Your sons will rebuild the long deserted ruins of your cities”;
6. “You will be known as “The people who rebuild their walls and cities.”
To me, this is another illustration of how great God’s generosity is in relation to the little He requires of us!
Do you recognize the depth of this teaching? God is really showing them their own hypocrisy and weaknesses. The people had a form of religion. They appeared to be godly. But they used their fast days to work on their business, pay bills, and generally neglected the very purpose of the fast.
God gave them a very similar message I also heard from Dr. D. James Kennedy. He was describing the hypocrisy of Christians in our day. He said God told him to tell the people: “Change your behaviour or change your name.”
That’s harsh, eh!
Now, let’s focus on ourselves.
Can you believe, as I do, that America has fallen to its lowest level of morality in this century? Do you see our leaders in need of character reform? Reform is needed in church politics, in medicine, in law and justice, in finances, in education, in technology, in the arts and sciences – everywhere – we need to repent and seek
God’s forgiveness!
Do we need to intensify our prayers by adding FASTING to our lifestyle? I believe we do. On the basis of scripture, I believe we do.
Jesus knew all the spiritual atomic weapons and I believe He shared them with his disciples. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus told them to do three things:
1. Give alms,
2. Pray,
3. Fast.
He assumes that those who follow Him will do all three things. I say that because He said – WHEN you fast, WHEN you pray and WHEN you give alms.
They had been doing these things since the time of Moses.
It’s only in our generation that FASTING has been dropped from the arsenal of God’s tools.
Fasting is especially ordained for our day. Jesus said, “…that in those days in which He would not be with us in person then shall they (the disciples) fast in those days. Those days, my friends, are these days.
It is time that we learned, individually and corporately, to learn to fast and pray.

WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN YOU FAST
Dr. Mary Ruth Swope
It’s different with every person. The stronger you are physically and spiritually, the less trouble you will experience. If God askes you to fast… “it’s a piece of cake” all the way.
Basic guidelines:
• Restrict your activity.
• Expect changes in elimination patterns. AIM’s Herbal Fiberblend will help cleanse your system.
• Be prepared for mental discomforts. The devil and many of your friends don’t like what you are doing.
• You may feel impatient, cranky, irritable, anxious and have self-pity. If so, PRAY, REST, WORSHIP.
• You may experience physical “blah’s”. Sip water or juice or take a teaspoon of AIM’s BarleyLife, or drink vegetable broth or lemon water.
• Probably the 2nd day is the most difficult. Hunger leaves, usually, by this time. Some headaches, dizziness, lethargic feelings are normal now due to a lack of caffeine and white sugar and to the release of toxins from “everywhere”. A few persons are bothered by sleeplessness and an overactive mind. A sort walk often corrects this.
• After the 3rd day, you will experience a new mental vitality.
• Some lose lots of water weight.
FASTING TIPS
• Take 1 teaspoon of AIM’s BarleyLife in diluted juice or water first thing in the morning. You may have up to 10 teaspoons spread throughout the day, if needed. This will help eliminate the headaches, lethargy and the other “blah’s”.
• Make a Dr. Henry Bieler, M.D., vegetable broth for liquid intake. In a large pot, combine:
zucchini carrots
potatoes green beans
onions celery & celery leaves
tomatoes crook-neck squash
cabbage turnips
salt to taste any vegetable you like
1 teaspoon chicken or beef bouillon may be added.
Cook, covered: The family may eat the veggies – you just drink the broth. One quart per
day would be wonderful.
• Feel free to drink freshly squeezed vegetable juices.
• Drink 64 oz. of pure water per day. You may have all the herb teas you want – hot or cold. Have all of the lemon water you want until you’ve had 1 full lemon per day. Dilute fruit juices with ½ water. Limit the frequency of fruit juices due to the high sugar content.
• Make a “Dr. Bill Bright” drink to sip throughout the day:
􀂾 1 gallon distilled water
ô€‚ľ 1 ½ cup fresh lemon juice
ô€‚ľ ½ cup real maple syrup
ô€‚ľ ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
TAKE TIME TO PRAY AND RELAX!
Listen to beautiful music.
Keep praising God for all the good things you can think of!!!
Great physical and spiritual benefits can be expected by all those who learn to FAST AND PRAY.

BIBLICAL ACCOUNTS ABOUT FASTING
1. II Samuel 1:21 David’s little child was ill. He fasted for 7 days and told his servants, “…while he was alive I fasted and wept. Who can tell whether God will be gracious to me that my child may live?
So, from this we see that David had some knowledge or experience that taught him when circumstances are critical or needs for Divine intervention are necessary for a happy ending to a situation – fasting and prayer (humiliation before God) is the thing to do.
2. In II Chronicles 20, we read where Jehoshaphat was expecting to be attacked by the Moabites and the Ammonites and he was afraid. So he proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah. People came out of all the cities of Judah – even wives and children to do what?
a. To seek the Lord
b. Unite in declaring God to be their God
c. To fast and pray
What happened? God told them, “Don’t be afraid. The battle is not yours, but God’s.” What encouragement!
God spoke. He said:
a. You won’t need to fight.
b. Just stand still and watch God work.
c. I’ll tell you what to do and how to do it.
d. He appointed singers, not soldiers. They began to sing and Praise God! They won!
3. Ezekiel 7th & 8th chapters: Ezra is a great spiritual leader. He asks permission of the king to take a copy of God’s laws to Judah and Jerusalem. He wants to bring back a report of the religious progress being made there. He was also to take some gold and silver as an offering to the God of Israel. So, Ezra gathered a large group of people and priests to go along – some 220 men from many districts.
Then what? Ezra asked these leaders to join him in humbling themselves before God prior to the trip.
They fasted and prayed for a safe trip, for deliverance from bandits on the way, for the safe keeping of their children. It says, “…that we might afflict ourselves before our God to seek of Him a right way for us…. God protected us and saved us from our enemies and bandits along the way. We arrived safely in
Jerusalem.” vs. 12
4. Esther 4: A plot to kill all Jews, including women and children, was made by the king and this word was taken to all the provinces. The date was set for February 28 of the following year. In all the provinces there was great mourning among the Jews, fasting, weeping and despair at the king’s decree.
Then Esther, the queen, got involved. She heard the whole story from her cousin, Mordecai. So she asked Mordecai to gather all the Jews and fast for her – do not eat or drink for 3 days. Esther and her maids also fasted.
“Then”, she said, “though it is strictly forbidden, I will go into the king to make my request.” She did and the king gave her favour. He spared Mordecai from being hung on a gallows at the hand of Haman.
In addition, the king reversed Haman’s decree to destroy the Jews throughout all the king’s provinces.
The Jews chose the very same day, February 28, to celebrate their victory.
Would it have happened this way without the fasting and prayer?
5. Isaiah 58:3: This elegant chapter shows us the contrast between God’s and
man’s ideas about fasting. Man said to God: “We have fasted before you.
Why aren’t you impressed? Why don’t you hear our prayers. We’ve done
much penance and you don’t even notice!”
fighting and quarreling! This kind of fasting will get you nowhere with me. … The kind of fast I want is that you stop oppressing those who work for you, give your employees what they have earned; share your food with the hungry; bring them right into your homes; feed the helpless, poor and destitute; clothe those who
are cold and don’t hide from your relatives who need help!”
Now, listen to this:
God said, “If you do these things:
a. God will shed His own glorious light upon you.
b. He will heal you.
c. Your Godliness will lead you forward.
d. Goodness will be a shield before you.
e. The glory of the Lord will protect you from behind.
f. When you call, the Lord will answer.
g. Your light will shine out from the darkness.
h. You shall be as bright as day.
i. The Lord will guide you continually.
j. The Lord will satisfy you with all good things and keep you healthy.
k. You will be like a well-watered garden, like an everlasting spring.
l. You will be known as “The People Who Rebuild Their Walls and Cities.”
To me, this is another illustration of how great God’s generosity is in relation to the little He requires of us!
Do you recognize the depth of this teaching?
God is really showing them their own hypocrisy. And in addition, their
wickedness. The people had a form of religion. They appeared to be godly.
But they used their fast days to work on their business bookkeeping, to pay
their bills, etc.
I recently heard a message from Dr. D. James Kennedy that contained a
description of the hypocrisy of Christians in our day. He said God told him
to tell the people: “Change your behaviour our change your name.”
That’s harsh, eh?
6. Jeremiah 14: This is a case history of a situation where God told Jeremiah, the prophet:
a. Don’t pray for these people anymore.
b. Don’t ask me to bless them.
c. They have not tried to follow my ways.
It is a sober thought that we can wander away from God so far that He will refuse to bless us, even if wee fast and pray.
7. Joel 1,2 & 3: In these chapters we learn about the terrible conditions of the
land at this time in history. All the crops failed. The cattle were without food
and water. There was not even any meat offering or drink offering for the
priests.
Joel told them to sanctify a fast. “Who knows? Perhaps even yet God will
decide to let you alone and give you a blessing instead of His terrible curse.
Perhaps He will give you so much you can offer your grain and wine to the
Lord as before.” vs.14
“Sound the trumpet in Zion! Call a fast and gather all the people together for
a solemn meeting. Bring everyone – the elders, the children and even the
babies.

“The priests and the ministers of God will stand between the people and the
alter, weeping. They will pray, Spare the people, O, our God. Don’t let them
be disgraced. Don’t let us be a laughing stock….”
What happened?
The Lord did a mighty miracle. Everything was restored. He gave them back
the crops that the locusts had eaten. Once again they had all the food they
wanted.
“Praise the Lord who does these miracles for you. Never again will your
people experience disaster such as this. I alone am your Lord and God.”
vs.26-27
8. Jonah 3: 5-7 In this story, God told Jonah to go to the city of Nineveh and tell them that they were going to be destroyed because of their wickedness.
But the very day that Jonah entered into Nineveh and began to preach that they were going to be destroyed in 40 days, the people repented. The people declared a fast. Everyone put on sackcloth, rough course garments worn at times of mourning. They cried mightily to God. They said, “Who can tell?
Perhaps even yet God will decide to let us live and will hold back His fierce anger from destroying us. “And when God saw that they had put a stop to their evil ways, He abandoned His plan to destroy them and didn’t carry it through.” Jonah 3:30.
Prayer and fasting is the answer.
