Bro. McNair

1). Be consistent. God rewards our sacrifices to Him, but consistancy (sp)
is priority one.

2). Some must fast while working.  God WILL honor that even if we can't pray
at the same time.

3). These human vessels have weaknesses (physical) so be careful with it. 
God did give us a brain to use.  If there are stomach problems, consider
drinking a light juice or something (chicken or beef broth).  Some have
damaged their bodies by not taking care of them.

4). If you go on a long fast, your body will start burning "undesirables" in
your system. This can cause headaches, stomachaches, pain in joints, etc. 
Just be careful of what you do for awhile.

5). People feel very hungry at first.  This isn't real hunger pangs, but
more like what happens when we take candy from a child.  The child throws a
real "fuss"!  Our bodies will do the same.

6). Obviously---pray  ;)

7). You will find/feel an anointing and power that will be greater than you
ever dreamed of!!!!!!!   This, however, will not be after fasting a day each
week for 2 weeks!  :)

8). Keep your spiritual being in check and be careful of the deceit of the
devil.  The more you fast, the more "intune" you will be to the spirit world
.  You will open yourself up (the only way I know how to put it) to the
spirit world, so keep yourself under the blood of Jesus.

Just some quick thots from past experiences. If you would like to go further
privately, drop me a line..I don't know that others would be interested, ok?

btw, the longest fast for me is 2 weeks.

Hope this helps somewhat.
God bless you richly,
Mike
