Understanding Fasting (Download PDF)

In the Fall of 2002, Dr. Ballard sensed the Lord leading him to call Christian Fellowship Baptist Church to 40 days of intense focus on the Lord. As he continued to seek the Lord as to the nature of the 40 Days, several elements developed into a cohesive unit which he called “40 Days of Focus.” Early in the development process Dr. Ballard sensed that the spiritual exercise of fasting needed to play a major role in the time of focus. Realizing that fasting is a little practiced and much misunderstood spiritual exercise; it was decided to turn the material into a booklet form that could be distributed.
