I am learning English and am from Korea. I have been finding some videos that includes the gospel as it should be very easy to understand. I think this video is awesome. For me the pronunciation it sounds clear and easier than the other videos that I watched. anyway thank you!~
+신성철 Awesome! So glad that the video helped. Please let me know how I can assist going forward. I hope you enjoy the other videos as well. Head over to my website allenparr.com for other resources (blogs, eBooks, etc.). Take care!
"Fasting, is the intentional abstaining from physical gratification for a greater spiritual encounter!"-Dr. Tony Evans what a great definition! This clip is helpful in understanding, praise Jesus, Thank you
I love how you broke this down! I am doing a Daniel fast for a personal struggle I want to be delivered from & also for anyone in the hurricanes lately , against any plans of Satan's with these crazy times. I have never done one, never thought I could. I have a huge sugar addiction & am hypoglycemic, so the Lord even getting me strong enough to the point where I think I could do it & actually made the commitment is an amazing testament to me of how He works wonders, He is so good !
Wow! Amazing. A fast like that takes discipline. I've done it a few times and it is VERY difficult for me, a man who loves to eat. I trust God will draw you closer to Him during this fast.
I didn't love fasting so much but I know I God wants me to fast.I've found that I love eating sooooo much so I make it a priority to fast more often.Some times the Holy spirit convicts me into it especially when I have a satanic attack against me in the future but I've also noticed that I love my phone, even though I use my phone to glorify God in my WhatsApp statuses,look up Christian videos on U tube and so on but I feel I need to minimise my time with the phone.So what I'll do,whenever I feel like holding my phone,I'll grab my bible instead.Because during my fast I want to hear a word directly from God and build that connection with Yahweh
I’ve been saved this year, and hopefully you see this comment. If I even went 2 days without food, I literally would feel insanely weak. How do people go a full 2 weeks without any food?
Imagine how much you crave man’s hunger for food, and how much MORE you should then be craving the Word of God which is what we need to feed our Spirit so that it does not grow week. And fasting helps put that in perspective.
Ha, glad you got here. I don't believe anything is by accident. I'm so excited you found my channel and hope you'll take the time to go back and watch some more of the videos I have on this channel. God bless you,
Thank you for this truth of fasting. I downloaded this video to save and keep it replaying on my laptop to remind myself why I fast. I am still learning and your channel helps me much in my Christian walk. This is my 3rd year as a Christian.
Thanks so much Kia. That just made my day. I hope you'll enjoy some of the other videos on this channel. God bless and let me know how I can help going forward.
favoured I will help you out. look on amazon for a book called "the 7 basic steps to successful steps to fasting and prayer to God..by Bill Bright. it had 7 basic steps which show you how to fast and what to do while you fast and it's only 18 pages
Thank you I had to really get some info about this, my church is going to fast and I never attempt it, but ever Since I left a mega church my walk with God has been a new change in my heart to understand him more and what his word says and why it matter as I continue to live for him as I grow.
Very good and concise summary. Thank you. For me I started getting serious about fasting only two weeks ago and first point : do it to humble yourself before Mighty God, humble yourself to Him . Allen is right tho also: to replace yr possible idolatry of other things in yr life during the times of regular fasting. Get serious with the Lord! He is worthy .
God bless you, brother, as he used you on this video! I’ve been looking for a video that could clarify my mind about fasting, and God showed to be pleased to do it through your video. And I’m really excited now I really got it. May he use us all to glorify his name.
Awesome! Thanks for making a video shorter than 5 minutes! I'm looking for a short video to share with others to give an intro to fasting with Jesus and this is it. So helpful. Also, thanks for clearly communicating and laying out bullet points.
Hi Allen! God Bless you! Watching and subscribed from India. It's amazing that its the same Mighty God working in all of us across the Universe..Keep up the good work you're doing for the Lord...
Wow! Hey Karen! This is so exciting to see God take His word and this vision He has given me to other parts of the world. Thanks for taking time to let me know where you are from!
Hello Mr. Parr, i stumbled across your channel on another subject, and I must say I love your videos. You use the Word to make your point. You make it very simple. I have studied for years and you are on point. I thank God for you. Keep preaching the Gospel. It is a blessing to us...
Talesha Bee hello Takeisha! Thank you so much for those kind words. Yes, I believe that my words are not inspired but God's are. So therefore, I try to use scripture to support my points as much as possible. I believe this generation is gotten away from the truth of the word of God. Keep studying and welcome to the BEAT community!
Well i just started but you videos are always informational. Your videos always teach me alot. You are truly blessed with the gift of teaching. I KNOW THAT THIS VIDEO WILL HE GREAT BROTHER.
Thank you so much for your videos. God has lead me to this I'm sure. I was getting so caught up on everything and started to doubt my faith. So plain and simple, and I love your energy you deliver with them. You've empowered me today. Bless you brother
I want to be delivered from this dead end disrespectful place I’m in and that’s my place of employment. I need to fast to get closer to God (ME AND MY TRUE SELF). I’m giving up the things that I enjoy. Hopefully it will deliver me from my insecurities and help me get a better place of employment to take care of my family. ✌🏾
Great video Allen I gave up on watching TV giving me more time prayers with God, only thing I seem to be getting attack at nights by evil thoughts for some reason I catch myself be for going to deep into them, I seem to be having a lot more time with God talking a lot more but I can't understand why these thoughts come at me at night time 🤔
thank you so much brother you made it clear to me because l was never a believer in fasting ,I used to think it was useless and God will answer our prayers if we just prayed .but l realise there is value in fasting
It's okay to have hobbies just as long as they don't take over other things that are more important. Thanks for your comments Alma! Glad you are part of our community now!
Alma Kaster I know this a 3 year old comment you can enjoy earthy pressures but don’t love them more than GOD cause when you love earthy things in front of GOD he will say depart me and the earth save you mean GOD won’t save you will end up hell. God bless you and your family.
From and including: Thursday, February 22, 2018 To, but not including Tuesday, May 22, 2018 Result: 89 days It is 89 days from the start date to the end date, but not including the end date Or 3 months excluding the end date
Thanks for the clearity, but can you pls advice on how to cope when you are fasting and at work and you get so frustrated and angry due to daily stresses/ pressures you don't even get time to pray the whole day, you actually forget that you are actually on fasting, it happens to me may times,
This was a great explanatory and concise video! The only things I would add are that I personnally think that fasting is awesome if it becomes a lifestyle but it doesn't have too, fasting punctually is also great. Water fasting and the daniel fast are other types of fasting worth trying.
Good points... Rules may vary, but fasting is one of the twin pillars for spiritual development in all religions. It's a reminder that we are essentially spiritual beings who should control our animal side. "Know thou that religion is as heaven; and fasting and obligatory prayer are its sun and its moon." ~ Baha'u'llah, Baha'i Faith
Hey Allen, I was wanting to do my first fast and I’d like to get help from God for a breakthrough. My dad has been in chains since he was young, Satan feeds him lies and I feel that he’s engulfed with evil spirits. I feel that with prayer and fasting, God will release him from oppression from the enemy. I just don’t know how to fast. What do I pray, do I use scriptures, if so, which ones? I’m so lost. Thank you for your videos, I enjoy how simple you make things.
Fasting has to be food. What he is referring to is abstinence. fast verb abstain from all or some kinds of food or drink, especially as a religious observance. Not trying to be a jerk or annoying but you shouldn't just make up the definition of a word to suit your own agenda. Fasting and abstinence can lead to the same thing, which is growing closer to God and glorifying him. Fasting, however, is specifically abstaining from food.

That's great. Is there anyway I can help?
Looks like your doing great with the english bro. Your comment is typed very well.
Woah, I'm also Korean! It's so nice to meet someone who is also Korean :D. Your English is amazing by the way.
Thanks
"Fasting, is the intentional abstaining from physical gratification for a greater spiritual encounter!"-Dr. Tony Evans what a great definition! This clip is helpful in understanding, praise Jesus, Thank you
everything that I needed to know about fasting in just 4 minutes
Your teachings are so practical and described in a way that's easy to understand and get a bigger picture of what the word is saying. Thanks!
Amen! That is the goal. Thanks so much,

Bless you Brother Allen , Love You

Wow! Amazing. A fast like that takes discipline. I've done it a few times and it is VERY difficult for me, a man who loves to eat. I trust God will draw you closer to Him during this fast.
Try waterfasting even for just a week.

I’ve been saved this year, and hopefully you see this comment. If I even went 2 days without food, I literally would feel insanely weak. How do people go a full 2 weeks without any food?
Ikr, I'm not starving myself.
Especially if we have high metabolism
You rely on God, not your own strength.
God bless everyone.
Start with a few hours, or something that isn’t food. It’s a discipline so it needs to be practiced. It’s worth it but start small x
Imagine how much you crave man’s hunger for food, and how much MORE you should then be craving the Word of God which is what we need to feed our Spirit so that it does not grow week. And fasting helps put that in perspective.
Landed here by 'accident'. Thank you so much for doing what you're doing. Love your videos. Bless!

God Bless you for the simply purpose and benefit of fasting in our daily lives 🙏
Thank you for helping me towards my relationship with God because this was such a clear a video to follow and you have awesome energy!
Thanks so much Kia. That just made my day. I hope you'll enjoy some of the other videos on this channel. God bless and let me know how I can help going forward.
Kia Muleta..aman.
THE BEAT by Allen Parr sleep paralysis while fasting is it a spiritual attack?
These teachings is just practical. It breaks down the concept of fasting.in the simplest way. God bless so much
Hi Allen! Your videos are awesome. Could you do a part 2 of this and elaborate HOW to fill the time of fasting (what to do and pray while fasting)?
favoured I will help you out. look on amazon for a book called "the 7 basic steps to successful steps to fasting and prayer to God..by Bill Bright. it had 7 basic steps which show you how to fast and what to do while you fast and it's only 18 pages
option man Thank you for this tip!
Pray. That's it. U just pray. The whole time.
@@jenbridges3920 AND read scriptures. You should be literally EATING the WORD of GOD in place of physical food.
“For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline.”
2 Timothy 1:7 NLT
This was short, clear and to the point, and not boring.
Oh thank you so much!!!

Oh wow this was helpful! I learned that fasting doesn’t just mean not eating. You can fast from anything. That would be video games for me!

Yes you are right.
The bible addresses abstinence as part of fasting. He also said in addition to food give up other distractions such as social media etc.
I think you're right. Fasting is abstinence from food
Thank you
Everyone needs food and we can't live without it. So foods should be a part of every fast. "Isaiah 58". The whole chapter explains that.
Wow I'm so glad I stopped on your video thank you for the info.
