THE PURPOSE OF 40 DAYS OF FASTING
What is the purpose of a 40-day fast? When can we undertake a 40-day fast, and in what situations is it appropriate? There are only three men recorded in the Bible who fasted for 40 days and 40 nights. Why is the number 40 used instead of other numbers for such a fast?
