    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!

    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.

    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 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

    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🙌🏾

    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 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

    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

    • @Forrest210
      @Forrest210 8 дней назад

      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

      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.
