In this teachings on "Stop Fasting Blindly," Apostle Joshua Selman emphasizes that fasting is a "kingdom weapon" designed for spiritual sensitivity and alignment rather than a mere religious obligation. 

The core rules and principles for a successful turnaround in 2026 include:

Prioritize Discipline over "Grace": Apostle Selman asserts there is no special "gift" or "unusual grace" for fasting; it is a discipline that intentionally affects the spirit, soul, and body.

Avoid "Hunger Strikes": Fasting without word study, prayer, and worship is ineffective. A true fast involves active engagement with spiritual materials to gain clarity and divine power.

Focus on Spiritual Sensitivity: The primary goal for 2026 is to heighten your ability to "talk to spirits" and have them respond, positioning yourself to hear God's voice and understand divine timing.

Strategic Alignment: Fasting should be used to align your personal life with God’s specific agenda for 2026, ensuring you do not enter the year "empty-handed" or with the failures of 2025.

Combat Gluttony: Selman warns that gluttony can stifle spiritual potential. Fasting serves to subdue physical desires so that spiritual dominion can be established.
