There’s a lot of talk about Dry January happening – taking a break from alcohol during this month.

I think it is a fabulous idea to consider our drinking levels and lean into moderation if possible, but there is something better than a dry January!

I’m here to suggest that you add to that practice a spiritual purpose! There are life-changing effects for both body and soul with Spiritual Fasting.

Today, I am sharing the 5 most AMAZING benefits of delaying alcohol with a spiritual purpose.

  1. Fasting off food and alcohol activates autophagy and stimulates growth hormone!
  2. Fasting helps regulate the Insulin in our blood stream and decrease Insulin Resistance
  3. Spiritual Fasting gives us knowledge! It creates unbelievable brain power!
  4. Spiritual Fasting elevates our mood increasing Peace, decreasing anxiety, and boosting immunity!
  5. Fasting and prayer has an exorcistic power. 

Fasting and Prayer is demanding due to hunger and discomfort, but the fruits are extraordinary.

After listening to these benefits and what they mean, you’ll never want to just have a dry January again, or just do Intermittent Fasting again – why would you? Your very soul and the souls of others are involved.
