From the Bethel Church and Christianity Facebook page:

Lisa Bevere, an itinerant speaker at Bethel Church, says you can โ€œfastโ€ from whatever you want. i.e. โ€œFast magazinesโ€ฆAmazon Primeโ€ฆโ€ and โ€œwhat may be a fast for you may not be a fast for someone else.โ€

What Lisa (and many others fail to understand) is the word for โ€œfast,โ€ (Heb: Tsowm; Grk: Nesteuo) in the original languages, literally means โ€œnot to eat.โ€

Also, we never see an example in the Bible of anyone fasting from anything other than food and always as a corollary.

Fasting is not about โ€œindulging God,โ€ as Lisa says. Fasting is an involuntary response to an outward influence and the Bible says fasting is always tied to mourning or some extreme situation/decision. One does not wake up and simply decide to fast; we do not fast to โ€œget closer to Godโ€ or to โ€œhear God better.โ€

Lisaโ€™s Original Post:

If you canโ€™t fast FOOD then FAST WHAT HOLDS YOU BACK! For those of you looking to start your 2020 with a fast, keep this in mind: fasting isnโ€™t so much about denying yourself as it is about INDULGING GOD.
