Fasting

[jasoncran]

I can tell by the very, very low response, that their are not many who fast here. :verysad :puppydogeyes

i have fasted, just not on that level, as i cant, when i dont eat, it makes me tired, and unsafe for the work that i do.

Many Christians today are not interested in fasting Jason, and they are totally wrong.

hmm not in the charismatic group. many of us do fast, i was taught that fasting should be done routinely. sadly i have fallen from that. and need to fast more then i do. which i have missed the weekly fasting of lunch.one day a week.

Jason, I dont want to harp on you or anything, but c'mon...you cant "fast" from lunch once a weak?

Us Muslims Fast from sun up to sun down, and in the summer thats no easy feat, even 10 year old kids.

Now if us infidel Muslims can do that, without questioning it or neglecting it, you, a saved beleiver, can do it.

I dont say this to be rude, I am trying to encourage you. YOU CAN DO IT. [/quote:t5z7il0s]
i do it one day a week, if i do it more, then its harder.
as i work seven days a week on the paper route. no holidays and such like,and with the heat index in florida , a lack of food does add to the possbility of heat stroke.

i will post a temp gauge measurement in celsius after work when i sign back on. i work for the govt after my route is done.

last summer it got up to 55 C in my truck at 5pm

 

[jasoncran]

you dont do heavy physical labor like i do. 55C is equalivent to about 150 f give or take a few degrees.

i can handle one lunch, but when i add in meals sucessfully then i wont eat till the next day or i suffer the shakes or lack of energy in bjj.
hard to roll when your starving for carbs.

its not self. trust me. its for my safety, when i was young the all day in the sun never bothered me, now it takes its toll.

i have 15 yrs on you, the body cant do the things like it used to. when i was young i could do a good split without warming up, now i must warm up to start a split.

that is what age does ,at least to me.

You do a split? Why? It is unusual for a guy.

hard to pass my guard when i can let my leg touch my head, and no i am not there, but that would be good reason, and i used to kick to the head alot.

If you do it every day you will make it. the more you do it, the easier it gets. I do it for stretching.

Same goes for fasting, your stomach shrinks.

by day 20 of Ramadhaan its not that hard anymore. by day 30 its a breeze, but then its over. So I try and fast the 10 days of the next lunar month, shawall.[/quote]
but you eat like mad at night, that is merely adjusting to that. try that without eating. my bro did that for a week, and got a kidney stone, and has them periodically since then.

You should know that many people have to eat for medication. I am one of them.

 

[jasoncran]

who says we cant fast, we cant fast like this, all day and NIGHT with no food. thats a fast to me. but i cant do the whole thing.

i have done the whole day and night fast yrs ago when i didnt work as much.

I fast one day a week every week, just to get closer to Jesus. Simply because I love him.
