✨ 40 Hour Famine — Do You Remember It? 🧑‍🌾
How about a mid‑month 40‑hour fast — it's EASY! Start the Fast on a Tuesday evening then enjoy a beautiful Healthy "Brunch on Thursday". . . .
BUT you know The Real Key times to "HEAL FAST" are actually:
21 Hours & 40 hours (as a quickie) HOWEVER. . . . 3 Days, 7 Days, 21 Days and the GRAND 40 Days, are Even Better to Heal FAST! (You know Moses went up the hill for 40days, and BOOM, đź’Ą The 10 Commandments!)
"The 40 Hour Famine" reminded me of something many of us grew up with: Set up Back in 1975, World Vision launched it as a way for young Kiwis to sacrifice something meaningful for 40 hours to help children in poverty.
Some gave up food, others gave up talking, technology, or even lived out of a backpack. More than 3 million New Zealanders have taken part over the years, raising over $80 million to transform lives. As kids, many of us “survived” on barley sugars and water… and let’s be honest, those barley sugars felt like gold at the time.
But now, looking back as an adult who understands what sugar actually does to the body, I can’t help but laugh — and cringe.
Barley sugar? During the Fast? OUCH!. . . . Sugar and processed carbs overload the body, spike insulin, and contribute to so many modern health issues. One of the reasons fasting is so powerful is because it GIVES THE BODY A BREAK from that constant glucose rollercoaster. 🤸‍♀️
Yeah, When we stop eating for long enough, the body naturally shifts into processes like Ketosis and Autophagy, which is known as the Cellular CLEANUP, metabolic RESET, and improved CLARITY. 💡👀
Eating anything when you are trying to Heal Fast — especially sugar — interrupts that. But the heart behind the 40 Hour Challenge wasn’t just about food; it was about discipline, sacrifice, and choosing to give something up for a greater purpose. That part still matters today.
When you Heal Fast, it's a reminder of how good it feels to STEP AWAY FROM CARBS AND SUGAR, let the body rest. No bread, no cereal, no muffins, no constant snacking — just clean discipline and a clear mind. 💆‍♂️
Fasting has always been part of spiritual life too. Jesus said that some BREAKTHROUGHS come only Through PRAYER and FASTING (Matthew 17:21). 🎚️📖 And Isaiah reminds us that when we fast with the right heart, “your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will quickly appear” (Isaiah 58:8).
Whether it’s a 40‑hour famine, a 3‑day fast, or SIMPLY GIVING UP SOMETHING THAT CONTROLS YOU — the discipline shapes you. And the clarity that follows is worth every hour. 🙏🏋️‍♀️ 💯👍
