Dry Fasting

Published on Updated on

A dry fast is an absolute, true fast in which you abstain from both food and drink. Some of our biblical heroes practiced this type of fast.

 

 

BIBLE VERSES

 

Exodus 34:28. Moses neither ate bread, nor drank water for forty days and forty nights.

Esther 4:16. Esther calls all Jewish people everywhere to neither eat nor drink for three days, night or day.

Jonah 3:7-8. The king of Nineveh repents and declares that people and animals do a dry fast.

 

DISCUSSION

 

Good information about Dry Fasting is quite rare. In all our years of spiritual seeking, we have only known one person who Dry Fasted. But we have never found an article about it.

Until now. A woman named Esmée La Fleur wrote a great article about it. She is a careful researcher and an avid health seeker. And she Dry Fasts.

Here is a link to her article:

CAUTION

Fasting is only for those who are medically capable. Check with your health care provider. Experts say you need to be under the supervision of a doctor during the time of a fast.
