The Proper Way to Break a Full Fast
The Proper Way to Break a Full Fast
You should not eat heavy meals at least 2 days before a long
fast. Rather you should take MORE fruits and drink a lot of water.
When you break your fast, you should never break with solid
food. You must break slowly. DO not take any cold water or drinks. Warm water
is preferable. Eat fruits such as oranges, kiwi, pineapple, etc. for a while and drink
a lot of water before attempting to eat any solid food.
When you have been on a long fast, you will need some days
to slowly break. For instance, if you fasted for 7 days, you’ll need another 3
days to slowly break – meaning in the following 3 days you should be on a diet of fruits and water, before
introducing any heavy food.
This is because the end of a long fast is the most
delicate aspect of a fast. For those who did not conquer their appetite
during the fast, there is a danger that they might overeat right after the
fast, thereby causing severe problems for themselves.
In the event of that happening, quickly stop eating and
begin another fast without food and water for at least 2 days and you should be
alright.
Please NOTE that this is not a medical
prescription.
Always seek the advice of your doctor before taking any action that could
affect your health. What I have just said here should NOT be taken as medical
advice.
Now to the prayers…
All the prayers should be prayed AT THE TIME PERIODS INDICATED. You
should especially find time during the day to continue with the prayers.
If, however, because of your work schedule, you are not able
to pray at the designated times, then you should pray VERY early in the morning
before 6:00 AM. No excuses.
If you do this diligently, you will surely experience the
visitation of the LORD, the One who ordained this program.
