His will for you it’s written brother, read the NT. In Paulus letters (Romans, Ephesians, 1 & 2 Timothy etc) it’s written for us in the body of Christ, and how we ought to live. Blessings!
one way God speaks to us is thru this raw Word, giving time to reading & listening to the Word of God helped me hear God when i most needed Him, especially playing the live action Bible before i sleep md while i sleep
Hearing God's voice is a relationship. When you have been married you dont need to ask what your wife wants for lunch, its the same with God, if you want to learn what God wants you to do and hear his voice then build a relationship with him.
It’s so funny how God works sometimes. I was reading a chapter in the Bible earlier and then I saw your video on TikTok pointing here. From there you spoke about some of the same exact verses I just read. God knows how to put emphasis in our lives. God is good!
Your wife is so purely beautiful. She's not dolled up or trying to look pretty. She's just herself, modest. It's beautiful bc you don't see it enough nowadays. Your whole channels is soo refreshing. I keep playing your videos just to get that vibe. It's a laid-back, serene, island, Christian vibe. It's addictive. I find myself playing a video real quick to get in a peaceful mood to worship or get in the spirit. Good job
Fasting doesn’t have to be food. He is right they didn’t have social media so they couldn’t fast from it. But fasting isn’t just about giving something up. It’s about connecting with God, reading your Bible, praying, sharing the Gospel. In my personal opinion, you can fast from whatever God puts on your heart. If fasting from social media isn’t fasting then why would God tell me to fast from social media.
Fasting from social media is really great and may be what your spirit needs. I think what he’s trying to say here is that fasting from food, which is physically digging into the Spirit and showing God that we only need Him, has the power to deepen us in different ways than fasting from something like social media
But true fasting is indeed abstaining from food tho. I mean sure u can fast this and that social media etc. As we should cuz its taking our time from God. But food, food is essential everyday, but if we try to abstain from it. It's really does humble ur soul cuz social media is not a need for life but food. So yeh true fasting is still food avoidance.
If you fast from food its the ultimate sacrifice. Our carnal body needs food to survive, you're putting God first before your own survival to praise the Lord and pray. Admittedly, I haven't done it myself or at least not intentionally, because I do intermittent water fasting often and I pray often and everyday. Praying often is a habit you develop when you have faith.
I have so much trouble fasting after having a terrible experience with it in the past. If you’re willing, please pray that I will be able to fast effectively and give up the fear and stress that surrounds it.
Father God in the name of Jesus I am praying for you to heal jade’s mind from her past and give her discernment to fast to strengthen her faith in you God. In Jesus name I pray amen
Luke 12:15 And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man's life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.
My will power with food is so low. I’ve felt called to fast multiple times and have wrestled and cycled in fasting/messing up by eating/restarting fast/eating/restart and it’s crushed me bc of my disobedience and lack of discipline but I want to show God how serious I am to being obedient to him
Dude... your great. I regularly listen to you and John macarthur here on RUclips and things here happen in my life for the past few week. You In particular have helped me to leave my secular relationship And try and overcome lust. And when he and I Got in a heated argument and I released my anger. Right after your RUclips short about shake the dust was the first video on my feed.You're video about 4 separate stories: the stone one in particular, about Moses striking a rock but but water still came from it and you coordinating that to a broken rock in a park. I took that as I released my anger on my boyfriend about religion So I won't be able to see the happiness of him cause I was impatient with him. But thank you ☺😁
Nice video and a lot was learned especially about prayer however please consider that the purpose of fasting seems to be to focus on God and to deepen one's fellowship with him while denying oneself fleshly pleasure. I say this because in the days of the bible eating was often also a time of fellowship. A lot of people don't spend a lot of time eating however they will often still have things of pleasure that they spend time on e.g games, work, exercising, and giving up these things to spend more time with God will see them denying the flesh of a pleasure they love way more than food and spending more time with God. Also, you have to consider that God would still make a way for those who struggle to find food (and would most likely harm themselves by denying themselves it). Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
We don't have power to decide what we pleasure ourselves with. The bible does say man shouldn't please yourself. But only please God. Pleasing yourself is you being prideful because your pleasing yourself
Check out Daniel 6:18: “Then the king returned to his palace and spent the night fasting; and no music or entertainment was brought before him, and he remained unable to sleep.” Daniel 6:18 AMP Fasting is more than food. Music and entertainment is included in fasting.
Those other things are so he can stay disciplined if I fast I will also not watch TV like Netflix and such. Or I wont listen to music even if it doesn't disobey God in the music
“If you declare with your mouth “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved” (Romans 10:9). Now is the time to accept Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior. Obey His commands and repent of your sins because Jesus is coming back soon. Tomorrow isn’t promised.
glad this popped up i have been trying to fast social media but i think what i need to do is fast food mainly and social media should just be an adjunct
I just wanted to say that Alex, you've helped me so much over the last few weeks. I've been struggling with temptation and seemed to be stuck on the same cycle. With your videos about these certain things it has helped me immensely! I have gained my relationship with God back and I can't thank you enough for the huge role you played in that.
Thank you, I felt that God put it on my heart to fast for a big decision coming up in my life. But I didn’t fully understand the meaning of fasting so this helped me alot thank you ❤🙏
Alex please pray for me. I’ve been struggling with depression and a lot of lust and masturbation lately I watch ur videos on it to remind myself, but I keep losing the battle, I know I can do better. Please pray for mental strength
Motives and purpose are far more important than the type of fast (Isaiah 58:4, Mark 2:18-20, Matt 6:16, Zech 7:4-6) Excellent video. Thank you for sharing!
I used to think I couldn’t do this but if you are reading this trust me you really can🥲. If I could a 6-6 for the whole of Lent you can do it too!!!❤️.Thank you Alex!
When u fast, don’t tell anyone because it’s between you and God otherwise the only reward you get out if it is the recognition when u should want more from the fast💯🤫
this isn’t necessarily related to this video but, I have been struggling with lust, and laziness. I want to get right with Jesus and I know that I used to be, but for the past month or so I have not been motivated to read my Bible and I’ve been falling into lust more and more. I dont know how to stop it, so if anyone could help me and pray I would greatly appreciate it.
I understand the basis of what you're struggling with. Something that helps me is getting in the shower (with no phone/music) and just telling God everything that's on my mind. How I feel distant and how I don't want to do anything anymore and I become fully honest with God (kinda like being naked is you being completely vulnerable, you got to be that way with God). Once I am done praying and repenting in the shower, I treat my body as God's Holy temple. I take care of myself with comfy clothes, skin care, etc, in order to make me feel a little better, but at the same time glorifying God in my actions. Once this is done, I open the Bible app and I start over by reading the verse of the day/watching the daily story. Try doing this everyday and talking to God throughout your day (even if you can't go on your knees to pray, just talk to Him wherever you are). When you commit yourself to what seems like small steps, God will help you take bigger steps to get closer and closer to Him. Remember, the devil will use guilt and shame to steer you away from God and closer to him. God Bless You.
For starters, you’re not alone, all men at one point in their life will face lust because it’s how we are it’s in every mans system. One way to help is first thing in the morning and before you go to sleep, pray for help and guidance. Talk to your local church pastor or godly men in the church about it, I know that’s not easy but it helps. Pray for lustful images and thoughts to be removed from your mind. If you feel it creeping up on you, pray or the best way to fight it, dive into scripture. Reading your Bible isn’t something you are gonna love to do at first, cause not many like to read in general, but I’ve learned the more I read the more I get interested and the more I find excitement in scripture. Pray and scripture are your two main weapons when fighting lust. If you feel an urge coming while you are looking at stuff on your phone, turn it off and put it somewhere its not in your sight. Or read scripture instead of getting on your phone before bed. These are all things I’m using to help in my battle, doesn’t mean it will work for you but it should if you are intentional about it which you obviously are since you are seeking help. Just know your not alone and that God will help you through your pain and struggles. There will still be struggle but you will overcome. Don’t give up when you begin to struggle pray, read scripture, and keep on running towards the man who saved our lives!
I am in the same boat man, my quiet time is basically non-existent cos Im stuck in a rut. Gonna pray for both of us cos I know what you going through right now. Hope God opens up your mind and heart and encourages you and I to read and practice His Word, Amen.
Can you talk about if your family doesn’t want you to fast, you can’t fast because of sports, or a heath condition? Bc I can’t fast bc of sports which hurts, I really want to but my family will say no.
Misleading explanation of fasting. Paul refers to married couples abstaining from sex to devote themselves to praying. You can encourage people to use food fasts without bashing others abstaining from pleasurable activities. God bless though, great messages all over your channel!
Fasting is starving your flesh from ANYTHING that easily besets you so that you can Focus on God, period. We are all different so we struggle with different things that beset us. Be it meat, bread, cursing, drinking, social media etc. food is the most significant true still I believe any other craving is just as critical if it is besetting you n drawing your attention n focus from God.
The Lord is Merciful and full Compassionate, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing LOVE that's why he become a human 2000 years ago. He become a human was to suffer and die on The cross to take the punishment for the sin of the WORLD. Your pain fell on him he was bruised for our inequities! You don't need to suffer for your sins because Christ suffered for us 2000 years ago! God so loved us He gave his only begotten Son to die for our sins, so that we don't have to suffer and perish, but who so ever believes in the Lord our God shall not perish but have eternal life.
Love this one! Can you make a video about which bible translation we should read out of. I hear so many things about NIV not being a good version and to read the King James translation. Hope you see this. I'm starting a bible study group and want to teach the right scripture!
Thank you that helped me sooo much . Just about how to make a difference between fasting and having good habits . You guys really have a beautiful family and inspire me so much . Thank you
I think fasting from any idols in our lives is important. It can be food, social media, etc. if God convicts you to do so. If it is taking you away from the Lord and your attention is going toward something besides Him too much, that’s a sign of an idol and his Spirit will let you know it is time to cut that thing out or at least take a break. Fasting from food is a biblical practice though, but I think it can be anything.
I just straight up got rid on instagram. Not all social media but that. Because if I need to fast from something that is literally controlling my thoughts then I might as well give it up completely. What do I gain from it but sinful fear?
Did you know that you can go to heaven for free? This one decision can change your eternity forever. Jesus died for both mine and your sins. All you have to do is confess that you’re a sinner and accept Jesus as your savior.
How can I get myself into the habit of reading my bible? When do you guys read? How do you guys do it? I've never been able to get myself to read very much and only at night or when I get up. And is fasting every Sunday good, or should it be for more than a day? I'm sorry, I'm just very confused. I struggle with the self discipline of fasting and praying and reading my bible. It's hard, I need help knowing what to do.
Pick a time every day to read the word and stick by it. For me and this is for me I picked 7pm every day I read a chapter. I also take notes and read up on the chapter by going to websites that go in detail about it so i can soak up everything from it. Regarding the fasting part it’s truly something you have to decide between you and the Lord. Don’t make it hard on yourself by trying to do it weekly. Pick days where you feel you can do and make sure when you fast you are in constant communication with God and are devoting time to Him because fasting is truly about denying the flesh and growing your relationship with Jesus! I wish you the best !
But the Bible even mentions fasting from sex ....1corinthians 7:5 .... food definitely has a stronghold that is powerful to let go of ...but so does many other things like social medias and sex...friendships ect . I dont think its just food man .
@Bryana Ortiz yes but she talked also about social media in her comment. Social media want around back then for them to far from but it is now and we have power over downloading the app therefore fasting from social media is giving up that power
hiii so im very new about fasting,,, im completely unfamiliar with it so i would like to ask how often should we fast... like once a month? a year and how long do you fast... for 3 days or can be a day? i hope someone sees this :))
I think you just need to know when the Lord starts placing it on your heart. I typically start just being led to scriptures about fasts and then get videos and stuff on RUclips
It can be any length of time. The Bible never says that you have to do it for _ amount of time, though it does give an example of the 40 day fast that Jesus did. Fasting also doesn’t have to be food, although fasting food is very effective.
What if u fast for someone else? I don't think i should fast without knowing the power behind it or without actually trying to connect with God. But I am. I'm learning things but it doesn't feel like anything but starvation. I'm not really here. And i want to be here. But how do u fast but u have to do other things all day? I've only fasted when i could lay ALLLL my attention on Him all day. So on weekends, so idk.
You'd do better to make the argument that we are more dependent on food for survival, so we tend to give God more of our trust when we fast from it, rather than saying that giving up Instagram "Is not fasting". There's nothing wrong with just saying that "Fasting from Instagram is not going to be nearly as effective a lot of the time". Ecclesiastes 7:16-18 "Do not be overly righteous, and do not make yourself too wise. Why should you destroy yourself? Do not be excessively wicked, and do not be a fool. Why should you die before your time? It is good to grasp the one and not let the other slip from your hand".
Yes you can. What is important is devoting the time during the day that you spend fasting to prayer and seeking God with no distractions. Wishing you all the best and praying for you.
"The Daniel fast is only eating fruits and veggies. Fasting is putting all your attention on God and he recognizes your seriousness and puts focus on you" it is not just abstaining from social media etc it is abstain from food, rejecting flesh for the spirit amen like how David fasted. David killed a man and got his wife pregnant he suffered the consequences and fasted by refusing to eat bit he received a blessing of child even after that and the Daniel fast is only eating fruits and vegetables
Can you talk about hearing God's voice, like knowing what God wants you to do.
yeah can we bc idk how to hear him

I think fasting from any idols in our lives is important. It can be food, social media, etc. if God convicts you to do so. If it is taking you away from the Lord and your attention is going toward something besides Him too much, that’s a sign of an idol and his Spirit will let you know it is time to cut that thing out or at least take a break. Fasting from food is a biblical practice though, but I think it can be anything.
I don’t know how that would go for me cause I’m a competitive swimmer and if I don’t get carbs my swimming falls apart
I’m doing a Daniel fast and i have used olive oil and garlic made with sea salt to make my green beans, have I broken it?
Hey can u make a vid on anxiety I would rly appreciate it
For how long should a fasting last?
🏁
I just straight up got rid on instagram. Not all social media but that. Because if I need to fast from something that is literally controlling my thoughts then I might as well give it up completely. What do I gain from it but sinful fear?
Did you know that you can go to heaven for free? This one decision can change your eternity forever. Jesus died for both mine and your sins. All you have to do is confess that you’re a sinner and accept Jesus as your savior.
Where’d you get that outcast tee?
How can I get myself into the habit of reading my bible? When do you guys read? How do you guys do it? I've never been able to get myself to read very much and only at night or when I get up. And is fasting every Sunday good, or should it be for more than a day? I'm sorry, I'm just very confused. I struggle with the self discipline of fasting and praying and reading my bible. It's hard, I need help knowing what to do.
Pick a time every day to read the word and stick by it. For me and this is for me I picked 7pm every day I read a chapter. I also take notes and read up on the chapter by going to websites that go in detail about it so i can soak up everything from it. Regarding the fasting part it’s truly something you have to decide between you and the Lord. Don’t make it hard on yourself by trying to do it weekly. Pick days where you feel you can do and make sure when you fast you are in constant communication with God and are devoting time to Him because fasting is truly about denying the flesh and growing your relationship with Jesus! I wish you the best !
But the Bible even mentions fasting from sex ....1corinthians 7:5 .... food definitely has a stronghold that is powerful to let go of ...but so does many other things like social medias and sex...friendships ect . I dont think its just food man .
I agree
@Bryana Ortiz yes but she talked also about social media in her comment. Social media want around back then for them to far from but it is now and we have power over downloading the app therefore fasting from social media is giving up that power
Could you pls make a video about how to resist negative thoughts
hiii so im very new about fasting,,, im completely unfamiliar with it so i would like to ask how often should we fast... like once a month? a year and how long do you fast... for 3 days or can be a day?
i hope someone sees this :))
I think you just need to know when the Lord starts placing it on your heart. I typically start just being led to scriptures about fasts and then get videos and stuff on RUclips
It can be any length of time. The Bible never says that you have to do it for _ amount of time, though it does give an example of the 40 day fast that Jesus did. Fasting also doesn’t have to be food, although fasting food is very effective.
Can we talk about how to make actual Christian friends in today’s time who can help you stay on track?
What if u fast for someone else? I don't think i should fast without knowing the power behind it or without actually trying to connect with God. But I am. I'm learning things but it doesn't feel like anything but starvation. I'm not really here. And i want to be here. But how do u fast but u have to do other things all day? I've only fasted when i could lay ALLLL my attention on Him all day. So on weekends, so idk.
You'd do better to make the argument that we are more dependent on food for survival, so we tend to give God more of our trust when we fast from it, rather than saying that giving up Instagram "Is not fasting".
There's nothing wrong with just saying that "Fasting from Instagram is not going to be nearly as effective a lot of the time".
Ecclesiastes 7:16-18
"Do not be overly righteous, and do not make yourself too wise. Why should you destroy yourself?
Do not be excessively wicked, and do not be a fool. Why should you die before your time?
It is good to grasp the one and not let the other slip from your hand".
Can you do recipe of fasting foods??
I wanna do it or try at least
how long to fast for?
When you fast do you just completely stop eating or eat at certain time
Can I fast all day and the eat dinner cus I’m 14 and my parents want me to eat dinner
Yes you can. What is important is devoting the time during the day that you spend fasting to prayer and seeking God with no distractions. Wishing you all the best and praying for you.
May you remain in the Lord all the days of your life. God is good and we are loved dearly by Him.
Life with God is not a life free from difficulties but it is a life filled with peace and joy in the midst of the difficulties.
@@MissK_Tjimune Amen! 🙌🏻
Can you add some scripture? So the people can go see for themselves?
Is drinking a protein drink instead of food ok...I have low sugar...not sure if drinking those and fruit and vegetables would be ok?
i want to fast but i’m afraid to.. with my luck my blood sugar will drop while i try. (i’m a type 1 diabetic)
"The Daniel fast is only eating fruits and veggies. Fasting is putting all your attention on God and he recognizes your seriousness and puts focus on you" it is not just abstaining from social media etc it is abstain from food, rejecting flesh for the spirit amen like how David fasted. David killed a man and got his wife pregnant he suffered the consequences and fasted by refusing to eat bit he received a blessing of child even after that and the Daniel fast is only eating fruits and vegetables
