- In this week's episode I will talk about if Christians should fast and if we are supposed to. I will give you five reasons we fast as Christians and where we can see those reasons in scripture.
Gods timing is crazy, I felt led to fast today but I’ve been confused on why I’m fasting. I have been pretty up and down with my relationship with God recently, but this fast feels different. And you explained it well on what I think God is trying to show me. Thanks bro!
that’s insane bro!! praise God!!
Check out the Orthodox Church! We fast all the time.
Orthodox Church doesn’t follow the Bible so
I will be doing a 7-day fast relatively soon, this will be my 5th time doing so. Each fast is just as hard as the last one, it doesn't get easier. Pray for me. All glory to God.
will pray for you, and i definitely agree. somehow my first 3 day fast was easier than every 1 day fast i’ve done since 🤣
the level of education that your videos provide is unmatched
i appreciate this a lot, glory to God
@@braxtenhm yeah of course
fr, this guy is really good
I’m doing my first ever fast but with social media and video games because they take up most of my day, I love learning about God and he has helped me so much.
Hey Brother I know it’s on Gods timing but I was wondering if you could pray on doing a video on relationships and what a godly relationship looks like. Also making sure not too idolize them as well
I was fasting but started wondering if i was doing it right. Laid down on my bed, opened youtube, bam, second (?) recommended video. Thank you ❤ Thank you, Jesus
been praying about fasting and asking God if I needed to or if he thinks I should because some medicine I'm on requires food and I think this is my answer ❤️✝️
Hello...it's lovely you have been encouraged to fast, but please still check in with your doctor. Stay healthy okay. God bless you
I just started fasting today and I felt like I wasn't really. I'm used to it as my mom and church grew me into this culture in Africa, after watching this i feel more confident about my fast.
Thanks for this video Braxton I didn’t know fasting was this important I’ve been on this walk for months and I’m just now finding out how important this is, I tried my best to hear the voice of god but couldn’t now I finally can thanks to you
I prayed earlier for God to show me how to fast and for confirmation if I even should. Lo & behold, this video is the first thing I see! Thank the Lord for using you and thank you!
PS, I think you could rock a goatee lol 💪
PRAISE GOD! I felt called to fast about 6 weeks ago, and I thought I knew why but, as previous fasts have shown me, I never truly do. 😅 I was excited, there was a lot of moving parts in my life then (still are). I figured I would fast for anywhere from 3-7 days just depending on what I felt called to. I made it 24 hours and then got miserably sick - it was whatever respiratory infection was going around at the beginning of April. With the confidence of the Holy Spirit, I ceased the fast so I could get well again. I was sorely disappointed! I friggin’ hate the enemy. I struggled with guilt and shame for a time around not being able to complete my fast.
Fast forward to now and I’ve been thinking about fasting again ever since, but I have no idea why. Maybe for this reason….? Nah, it’s all good. Maybe for this thing over here….? Meh. God will tell me. Then this video comes out and I kept finding myself thinking ‘I know how to fast 😅 I don’t have to watch that.’ Well, this morning, I bossed my flesh and decided ‘I am watching that because I’m sure God has something for me. He wouldn’t have led me to Braxten’s channel, and had the last few weeks of episodes be so relevant to my life for me to just suddenly lose interest and turn away.’
So, I'm fasting. Right now, for at least three days. Not really sure why but that was the biggest take away is I don’t gotta know why. God knows why and I trust Him fully, don’t I?
Praise God! 😄 He is so worthy! Hallelujah!!!
I think I found my RUclips church. Gods working here is gold
God literally is speaking through you to me , I needed this video , Amennn
This is so powerful! Praise God, he is definitely using you as a vessel to further his kingdom! May blessings come your way brother 🙏
I really cannot fast it becomes so difficult for me to fast I've been trying to fast for a very long time i have fasted as well but i feel like I'm just not doing it right i hope after this i can do it . All glory to God ❤
I did a chocolate fasting once and it started about a week before easter, so I was still fasting when it came and people who had never offered me a glass of water before, came to give me chocolate. It was very hard to say no, but it was a great experience with the Lord
Praise God and thanks for the tips and reasons ❤❤
This video never left my recommendations so I decided to watch it and I learned a lot and thank you so much for this.
this video was just divine timing for me. in limbo atm with work, what i’m gonna do next in life, and my relationship with Jesus, just feeling very muddled ngl. i’ve been interested in fasting, and heard u mentioning it a few times during these podcasts and it’s perked my ears up but man, it kinda been a non stop thought recently, so i was very glad when this little video popped up.
thank you
God’s timing is actually insane. Thank you braxton cus the way this info confirms a lot of things between me and God’s convos is pretty mind blowing. Ive been praying to God about like motivation and loneliness because I havent seen brothers around my age really going all for God around me and kinda felt isolated. But just seeing your tiktok’s and youtube truly does bring some sense of fellowship to my spirit. Thank you Jesus! praying for u and your ministry to prosper further than we can ever imagine🙌🏾
Thank you so much for this. I’ve been feeling called to fast but I don’t know the reason why and I guess not understanding why has discouraged me from fasting but your video has brought so much clarity on the subject of fasting. Thank you so much brother and continue spreading Christ! God bless🤍
This video was very needed man, I appreciate it a lot. When you spoke about how you prayed and asked for someone to reach out to you, there’s been 3 times recently when I was close to giving up on this stuff, and BOOM someone contacted me and asked how I was. I hate being human sometimes because even with the amount of times gods been there, I’ve doubted him and thought that those times were just coincidences because it isn’t always consistent. Thank you for this video man I’m gonna try my best to fast, I think fasting is the hardest thing for me to do😂😂
i've been wanting to fast, this video is what i needed
New subscriber. I’ve watched a lot of videos based on fasting and this one was the most put together, direct and easy to digest!
Thank you for your obedience! God bless you.
I cant like this video enough it came at the perfect time, ive been watching your videos for quite a few weeks and can say that God is doing great things through you keep it up and God bless.
I absolutely love your content, you explain everything so well and truly aim to follow God's word to the dot. So much respect to you. It's definitely God's timing, because i've been feeling the need to fast for a week now and i'm truly trying, but i'd been doing it all wrong. Your video totally cleared that up for me, thank you.
btw; i'd personally say, no goatee. you look great just the way you are right now :) you could absolutely rock it tho
Kid you not bro I was talking about fasting & wanting to, and your video pops up in my recommended.
i've been trying to learn what's the dos and don'ts of fasting, thank you very much for this video!
One thing I wanna say is I believe Jesus didn't "assume" we'd fast, He "knew", cuz yk, He's God - that's just minor wordplay but yeah. Thank you for letting Giod work through you in this video!
10:43 on point! Thank you so much!
how ironic God showed me this video and I see a Celsius in the thumbnail, and i’m fasting from drinking Celsius because it’s become an addiction 😭
i’ll be praying for you! God will give you the strength u need to fast, seek him and pray /talk to him when you feel the urge :]] God bless u and ily
@@Astranova111awe thank you so much! amen
🙏🙏..... grow the goatee
first 5 minutes and i have good notes! your really knowledgeable brother 🙏❤
Hey you’re awesome, can you make a video about keeping the sabbath please 🙏❤️ God bless you!
I love fasting from social media, such a good detox!!
Such a great topic & information. Keep making videos !
What is so difficult for me is the fact that I fast for the sake of food. I will fast but my sin is associated with food. I’m starting to see it is also to do with a lack of gratitude - having what I had is not enough, even though I don’t even deserve it. So when I used to end my fast, I would go back to food, and I didn’t know how to deal with the temptation of eating more than I needed. Now I would say it is much easier but I still struggle. I am the reason. Your video on accountability has further helped me see this. I want the desire to go: the love for pleasure. I want to be grateful for the smallest thing. For example, I want to be grateful for just having a bite of food, to the point where I can put the food away after one bite even if I’m hungry since I’m fine with that bite. If I was satisfied and grateful for just God or waking up with breath, then I would not be struggling with thinking of food and desiring to eat anything anytime, from what I see, since God or having breath would be enough. I don’t know how to really word it to make proper sense, but that’s the best I seem to be able to do. What I want to know is how can I handle or deal, or I dont even know, with fasting even though I struggle from the thing I’m fasting from? Like any help on anything to do with this or anything related? Thank you to any help in advance
The way you’re thinking is healthy 😊 if you find yourself struggling on wanting to eat more food you can go and workout, or just do a little activity it will make it where you don’t want to eat anymore, but it will come back so I just say look to do good for your own body. As in being healthy with working out eating the right foods etc. and do so by honoring god, taking care of your body will honor god
Your videos are so helpful, God bless you
Great message! And yes grow out the goatee😂
Thanks for this insight man, praise God!
That's cool! I'm doing every sunday rn. Very awesome vid! I struggle with being on my phone while I fast.
❤️🩹thank you for this. This helps so much ❤
Cute puppy cameo 😁
Aye you should collab with Chris P i love his messages as well as yours. really really helpful and insightful
Beautiful vid brother 🙌🏾, I say you should go for a goatee. God bless you
Since you asked and you really seem to want our opinions, I think you look great clean shaven and do not need a goatee. Peace.
Loved this video, and your a funny dude
I wonder if this video is my sign to try fasting!
Please make a video on Laziness
I’m pretty sure he already did! Check his videos page.
Amen ✝
Yeah grow out the goatee brother😂🙌🏽
You rock!!
How about keeping the sabbath and dietary laws
Thank you for this video🙏 definitely recommend growing out the chin
Can you please explain what you mean by hearing God calling you to do something? Do you really hear His voice or just feel inclined to do so?
I'm here after I got exhorted for not commenting on the goatee thing lol, I'm kidding, also, maybe shave it? You look great as it is though
I failed a fast yesterday and i have no idea waht it means in terms of sin
Tbh I struggle so much with wanting to fast only to loose weight. I really purely wish to seek the lord by fasting but this thought cannot get out of my head. Can someone pray for me there?
Praying for you :)
hey brother can i drink a celsius while fasting i always start my morning with one
I'm wanting to fast but some people around me tell me that I shouldn't fast because it could stunt my growth (I'm in my early years of high school) I still want to fast but don't know what fast I should do so this wont happen, if anyone has any suggestions please tell me, and may God bless you
You can fast from many things other than food, food is just the standard!! I've personally fasted from social media and music before :D Theres also different styles of fasts in which for instance, you fast from sundown to sundown, drink only juice and water, or fruits and veggies like said in the video. You don't have to completely deprive yourself of everything right out the gate or for super long extended periods of time. The most important aspect is to ask God through prayer! He may even tell you how long to fast.
There's always a bug
For a second I thought u was British
fyp
What if you need to GAIN weight?
You gotta give up for God. I think your talking about bulking
(Has nothing to do with video) God, The Christianity One, is real. He Loves everyone in a fatherly way, wants everyone to receive his salvation, would like everyone to freely obey him, to read the Bible,any real version.
Thank you Braxton! This is the second video I see from you, the algorithm's working this *time..
I've spent a day or two mistakenly not eating but just drank water, so I can TOTALLY Fast on purpose!
Lol, I'll plan it though..
Thank you Lord, thanks dude 🙏🩵💜
Goatees are cool, if you can you should, God willing~
Dont Listen to him, ask the Orthodox Church
Bro he is getting his info directly from the Bible. Why wouldn't you listen?
Yea bro grow the chin out man
8:36 I've heard that's a ῥῆμα, rhema word, or quickened word.
Real Christians spread the Gospel message of Salvation in accepting Jesus Christ, and not fasting!
If Christ did not wish that we learn more about following him he would not have given us bishops, nor pastors
The Gospel message is indeed important, and speaking, it is paramount, but as believers, we're called to many things, fasting being one.
Im really thankful for your advice man also grow the goatee🫶
