Is fasting 1000 consecutive days possible? Not fasting day and night without any food and water, no, that’s not possible; but fasting for over a thousand consecutive days from 15 to 17 hours a day is possible. Never in my wildest dreams did I think that I would be the person to do this. But why fast 1000 days? What was the reason behind it all? I wish the answer to why a person would fast 1000 days was simple, but it’s not. The absolute truth is that I never intended to fast 1000 days. It never even entered into my mind. Had it, I know I would have rejected the idea. I never thought it was possible. I didn’t even think 100 days was possible until GOD blessed me to do it. It was not until I had fasted around 700 days that I began to believe 1000 days of fasting was possible. That’s when I prayed and said to God, “Lord, since you have blessed me to fast 700 days, I have only one request now. Lord, bless me to go 1000 days.” The Lord heard my request and granted it. During my fast I kept wondering and saying, “Lord, why? Why won’t you give me a release from this fast?” It was not until I had fasted 1000 days that God revealed the reason why He had me fasting all those days. God spoke to my mind and said, “Vernard, I didn’t have you fasting for ‘you’, I had you fasting for people who need Me all over the world.” So I was not fasting for me, I was fasting for you–people who are broken, people who have been wounded and bruised, and people who need God to move in their behalf.

The book provides an extensive guide on how to, and why, as well as the benefits, and the miracles that manifested over the course of the journey. Also it provides the visions and the revelation that he had especially experienced. The tests that he encountered, the challenges he endured and the great victories were a result from his sacrifice.
