My son, there is a ministry of fasting just as there is a ministry of prophesying.

Every believer can prophesy, but there are some who are called to be prophets.

Similarly, every believer can fast and every believer should fast, but there are some who are called apart to the distinctive ministry of fasting. These are ministers of fasting and their distinctive contribution to the Body is to fast. They have the special ability from God the Father to fast and they flow out in this way. Some have distinctive capacities to carry out short fasts, others have distinctive capacities to carry out medium fasts, and others have distinctive capacities to carry out long fasts, while others have distinctive capacities to carry out very long fasts.
