What is a Disciple fast? just water? I want to do the best fast for breaking a stronghold on my husband and possibly restoring our marriage. Is it 40 days water only?
Debbie, the disicples' fast post is not about specific foods to eat while fasting, but instead about the scriptural principles that can be claimed while fasting. It is about what steps to take when fasting for freedom from besetting sins/addictions/bondage. The point was that the disciples had NOT fasted…so when the demon possessed boy's father brought him to the disciples they could not set him free. Jesus, however, could.
The disciples tried unsuccessfully to deal with the spirit enslaving the boy. Jesus said that the problem was so severe that it couldn’t be treated with every day, ordinary means. “This kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting,” He said (Matt. 17:21). This is more the point of the disciples' fast.
