...Book Summary...
This little book is designed to help you get started on fasting. It will give you the basics while you build your own understanding as you go along. 

I first got introduced to the principle of fasting by a mentor and friend in 2010. He has been blessed to do 2, 40 days and 40 nights complete fasts (no food, just water only). He has written an incredible book on fasting, All Fasting Secrets by  Eric Gondwe and you can download FREE copy here.

With his inspiration and support, and above it all, Gods grace, i have gone to do over 200 days of fasting since then. My biggest blessing yet, came when, through Gods grace to endure, i completed my first 21 days and 21 nights complete fast (no food, just water only), (see my experience; Nica's 21 day fasting experience.)

I decided to write this article because i have seen the benefits of fasting in renewing mindsets and positively and permanently transforming lives, particularly my own. The most significant and transforming area in my life has been my spiritual life, where my relationship with God, and the desire to do his will gets stronger day by day.  

As a life coach, it is by far the only principle i have seen that has the power to accelerate results at an unimaginable rate and permanently transform lives.  I am committed to sharing it with everyone who is looking for success in any and all areas of their lives, and encourage you to practice it as a regular spiritual exercise. 

I believe the effects of a fast are for a lifetime. They impact the moment, the future and even extend to generations. It becomes a generational blessings for your line. May God increase our desire to do his will, seek him first, and his grace that we may endure. God Bless you in this journey.

My passion and belief in the power of fasting has inspired me to start the monthly Corporate Fasting Events at Laci Club, *See upcoming Corporate Fasting Events.

...Some Tips on Fasting...
Fasting isn't easy and takes God's grace to endure. 6 TIPS i would give ...
1. START EASY
1 day fasts and build as you go. 


2. LEAVE YOUR FASTS OPEN
God wants to do more than you ask, so No not put God in box, leave your fasts open. Ask for specific things, yes, but ultimately pray that Gods will over your life be done. Really, you want his will more than you want that healing, or that financial breakthrough. You want a relationship with him, more than anything specific you can dedicate a fast over.
 

3. BE MENTALLY PREPAPRED
It helps more when i know i'm not eating for the next 3 days up front. I prepare mentally and that way it is overwhelming for me. I fight it less and am more focused when i am prepared.
 

4. PRAY
Praying and being connected in Gods word during your fast is the food you will need to endure. Substitute your regular meal times with prayer time.
 

5. FAST CORPORATELY
Do a combination of private fasts and corporate fast. Corporate fasts are when you join with others in fasting. This helps with the power in numbers and of course the moral support and accountability.
 

6. DEDICATE A SMALLER FAST TO A BIGGER FAST
If you doing a 3 day fast, dedicate a half a day a few days before for Gods grace and that you will endure and overcome any obstacles that will try to stop you. And believe me, fasting is powerful, there will be many temptations waiting to stop you.
