Scripture Post #1,179: *DON'T OVERDO IT*

Acts 27:

33 And while the day was coming on, Paul besought them all to take meat, saying, This day is the fourteenth day that ye have tarried and continued fasting, having taken nothing. 

34 Wherefore I pray you to take some meat: for this is for your health: for there shall not an hair fall from the head of any of you.

The people on the ship with the Apostle Paul fasted for 2 weeks, eating nothing. Paul finally told them to eat for the sake of their health, that not a single hair should fall from anyone's head on Paul's watch. In our fasting we should consider our health. *DON'T OVERDO IT*. JESUS fasted for 40 days. This was His choice, not our mandate. Fasting is powerful. Fasting enables GOD's great power to rest upon His people. Fasting also strengthens the spirit-man. However, the body suffers because of this. Thus, caution is advised.
