Going to share a true story, 26 years of age just got saved. I wanted my parents to be saved got on my knees, one night, and I was crying and weeping for my parents salvation, I decide to fast - I didn’t know how to fast , I didn’t know the first thing about fasting, any rules, steps, I just didn’t eat -I drank water ,I plan to do this for a week… The third day I’m driving ,I was a travel, agent delivering tickets… And all of a sudden I felt a cool wind blowing on my face. It wasn’t a hot day, my air conditioner wasn’t on, the windows weren’t down… as I was driving, I was thinking where is that wind coming from… Then all of a sudden my body lit up like a Christmas tree and I heard these words “the wind blows, and you do not know where it comes or where it’s going, so it is with the Holy Spirit” … And with that a heavy presence of the Lord was in my car… I had to pull over I was crying, my head off… I was saying to Lord, I’m sorry because I felt a sinful person… And I heard these words come out of my heart… I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, and I believe if I didn’t say “stop, my heart is gonna pop” the Lord would’ve kept going… And then I heard these words… Your parents are gonna be saved… And with that the presence was gone… 15 years later, both my parents received Jesus Christ is Lord and Savior. This is a true story… I guess my point may be… There was no rules I followed, there were no steps,followed There’s just a broken heart, wanting my parents to be saved… And I believe God honored that because he saw my heart… God bless guys love you
Corey, I want to thank God for showing me you and your teachings of the word of God. Your teachings have opened my eyes and has helped me to see the Truth! Thank you!
Thank you thank you brother,sometime I feel alittle dry,and need some spiritual food,yep,ease away from the physical food and ease into the spiritual food Amen
This was so good. And people people need to hear this. Real fast is *No food *No calories *No Listing to thing’s not of God(which should be regular $ *Watching things not of God(which should be regular)
Thank you so much for sharing your insight with us. I have watched several of your videos over the last few months and have gained from them. This time it was concerning not my fasting so much as what I’m fasting for (the salvation of lost loved ones may be a decent focus, yes-but it really should be just more about HIM) and what I’m doing during my fasting (would certainly watch tv, esp in the evening -but that word from you spoke to me; I’m going to be more focused on my King and spiritual things during my future fasts). Thank you again. I appreciate your work.
Hey Corey, what about Ezra 8:21-23? Isn’t that an example of how fasting for the purpose of an answered prayer can work? Also, Esther 4:16 seems to be another example of the above. God bless You.
Thank you Corey. My son's church is doing a Daniel fast. I think a lot of church's take people from the bible and mirror the fast without understanding. I sent this podcast to him so that he would have an understanding of what fasting is and is not.
When I was in a charismatic church, we were mandated to fast in order for God to “pour down his blessings” upon us. Nothing I fasted for ever came to fruition but instead I lost a lot of weight and was basically malnourished. Shame on me for not really understanding the Bible back then, so I 100% agree with you brother Corey. 🙏
God bless you Corey and the gift of God that is on your life. What are your thoughts on fasting together as a church? Usually referred to as the Daniel's fast. Thank you.
Can I fast for answers? I have a lot of questions about the church, doctrine, and things i am not sure God told me or just my thoughts. Can I fast for more clarity, wisdom, direction and truth?
For there is no other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. Jesus is the only way to heaven, not through Buddha, not Muhammad, not Mary, nor Krishna, not any other pagan deity not even yourself. No man is righteous, not one. For you to go to heaven you must be born again. And being born again is a supernatural work of God which takes place in your heart. The bible says that God will take your stony heart, and give you a heart of flesh. And once you die, there is no reincarnation, for we will immediately present ourselves before God to prepare for judgement. If you don't repent (which means to change your mind) and trust in Jesus Christ you will not inherit heaven and will perish for eternity in hell. The bad news is that because of your sins, you are separated from God, and since He's a just God, sin must be punished. You can't pay for your wages because once you've broken the law you cannot justify yourself with your righteousness since your works are as filthy rags. You can never reach sanctification by your own merits because the standard of righteousness is perfect. Since God understood we cannot merit nor be righteous on our own, God Himself came to merit His own laws through Jesus Christ, who is The Lord God, God the Son, and the Lamb of God. Jesus Christ fulfilled all the laws that you and I cannot merit, and became the scapegoat to take on our sins, and you His righteousness (the moment you believe) by dying on the cross for your sins, was buried, and raised 3 days later; seen by over 500 witnesses. He conquered sin and death the moment Jesus rose, and through His resurection, we have the certain hope that we too will rise when He comes back for His church. And since Jesus paid for your wages, perfectly, you can put your trust in Him for your salvation. In a court of law, you cannot escape the penalty due you lest if someone where to bail you out, and Jesus's atonement already paid the wage of death in full; quenching the wrath of God. What must you do to be saved? Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved. The way to life is narrow because it's found in Jesus, not in self righteousness. Repent, and place your trust in Jesus, so you can have eternal life!
@DiamondInTheRough. I know but I think we should keep His original name on his original language for history and identification..now am struggling to educate my 5yrs old that Jesus name is Yeshua n that he is not white ..but if His name was Yeshua..it will explain all that already
Thank you, this is very informative. However since the majority spent more time at work in this day and age, hiw can someone approach fasting and prayer while going to work? And you know that at work not all days are sweet days
I’ve gotten in trouble so much with this and still find myself lacking at times. I am at the point now where I feel guilty about even telling anyone I am fasting to prevent seeming boastful. I have a question? Should I center a fast around an off day? Doesn’t that defeat the purpose of operating in a fast, without boasting in front of others? Isn’t like cheating to center it around an off day? I hope this is not a stupid question. Is fasting more about strengthening the soul by afflicting the body, so we can draw closer to him? I believe I can go to work and still fast, but I desire to be in the right. I get refraining from food, entertainment, etc. Any thoughts?
Is the fast supposed to compel or force God to do what I want because that feels like that is why most of us fast? Seems to me that I cannot fast and go to work as well because my mind is still disengaged. We would say a fast is from 6am-6pm but from 8am -5pm I am busy with work, school run and all the activities, engagements and drama that accompany a normal work day. So all my fast amounts to is just staying away from food (which is what a lot of people believe it ultimately is). When Daniel fasted, even bathing and rubbing lotion was too much of a distraction. Yes life is life and we cannot get away from it especially if you got work and babies at home. I believe one needs to shut out as much of the world as possible on a day/s one can afford to do this without it affecting your work and family life to dedicate that time to not merely speaking to but mostly HEARING from God.
everyone i know that fast for things they always get….when i fast not for things but to get close to GOD i don’t get it 🤷🏾♀️ so how are all those people fasting and live a life outside of GOD get Bless after
Can i fast to break things off i want to fast to get close to him to break off strongholds? I want that for spiritual growth is that okay? Also, after i fast or pray i get angry why is that, it's there something wrong with me?
I'm not saying you can't fast for this but we are told how to deal with strongholds in 2nd Corinthians 10 4-6. The sword of the Spirit demolishes strongholds. We use God's Word to defeat the lies of the enemy and every thing that sets itself up against the knowledge of God. Also we have to be in continual prayer We also take every thought captive, means we are to take control over our thoughts Fasting could accompany this but fasting alone wil not demolish strongholds.
@judithmargret5972 how does that look like, though taking thoughts captive cause I pray all the time, and I'm constantly rebuking these thoughts by its tiring
@Mel-ky9zs You can't rebuke your thoughts, you have to take control Biblically. The best thing is to read your Bible often, memorise verses especially ones pertaining to your situation. Say you're lonely, find what Scripture says about loneliness, write it down, memorise it, quote it often, and it becomes real to you. I will never leave you or forsake you is a good one. Do the same with other problems. When you begin to know Scripture, and you get thoughts that contradict what it says, the Holy Spirit will bring Scripture to mind for the situation. My thought life can go downhill really fast, then I meditate on the bad thoughts, and I drift further from the truth and feel terrible. I need to consciously get my mind back to what Scripture says and meditate on Scripture truths. It's not easy, the battle is in the mind. Find a daily devotional from a Biblical teacher, not just anyone, and that will give you something to meditate on. Of course lots of prayer and praise. What helps me, might not help you in the same way, but I love Jude v24, Romans especially chapter 5 and 8. Simple things like when Peter kept his eyes on Jesus, he actually walked on water. When he took his eyes off Jesus, he sank. I could write more, as I'm in the middle of a struggle at the moment, but I don't want to take the whole page. We are in a war, and as Paul says Phillipians 3 the whole chapter, especially v8-14. Blessings.
When you Fast, Anoint yourself with oil or you will be opened up for Spiritual Wickedness... Cry ALOUD for the LORD Jesus Christ who will Deliver You from ALL EVIL!!! Amen!!! ❤🙏 Be Blessed by the HolySpirit of Truth!!! ❤ HolySpirit Power!!! ❤
People were much healthier 2024 years ago when the water and air were clean. Fasting is dangerous for the sick and elderly who need food and medication for physical and mental strength. We live by faith alone. Health Care Chaplains Office.
I'm afraid to. Not only that, I don't want no heeby geebies. The Supernatural I know nothing about. Although my prayer life rather sucks, it seems that my sessions with my Psychiatrist works. The Best that ever was, He doesn't come cheap so I tip Him every chance I get. Sometimes I got nothing to spare, but He seems to be OK with that.
Did you know that verbal or oral predication precede the Bible for about 300 years and countless of believers died without knowing what the Bible actually was. So biblical fast or biblical this or that is nothing but a circular reasoning ! You were tied to a COVENANT not a Bible !
Going to share a true story, 26 years of age just got saved. I wanted my parents to be saved got on my knees, one night, and I was crying and weeping for my parents salvation,
I decide to fast -
I didn’t know how to fast ,
I didn’t know the first thing about fasting, any rules, steps, I just didn’t eat -I drank water ,I plan to do this for a week…
The third day I’m driving ,I was a travel, agent delivering tickets… And all of a sudden I felt a cool wind blowing on my face. It wasn’t a hot day, my air conditioner wasn’t on, the windows weren’t down…

… And with that a heavy presence of the Lord was in my car…
I had to pull over I was crying, my head off…
I was saying to Lord, I’m sorry because I felt a sinful person… And I heard these words come out of my heart… I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, and I believe if I didn’t say “stop, my heart is gonna pop”
the Lord would’ve kept going… And then I heard these words… Your parents are gonna be saved… And with that the presence was gone…
15 years later, both my parents received Jesus Christ is Lord and Savior.
This is a true story… I guess my point may be… There was no rules I followed, there were no steps,followed
There’s just a broken heart, wanting my parents to be saved… And I believe God honored that because he saw my heart… God bless guys love you
Corey, I want to thank God for showing me you and your teachings of the word of God. Your teachings have opened my eyes and has helped me to see the Truth! Thank you!
Thank you thank you brother,sometime I feel alittle dry,and need some spiritual food,yep,ease away from the physical food and ease into the spiritual food Amen
Very good explanation on fasting I am so appreciative to God for the way He uses you to teach. Be blessed Corey 🙏🏾
In fasting, I would say seek first the king and his Kingdom and all things shall be added unto you.
You answered a question I've been thinking but haven't asked yet. This happens so often I really think it's God!
Brother, sooo appreciate your videos, they're so helpful, easy to understand, and a blessing in my walk! God bless you brother
I appreciate this video so much, I definitely was not doing it right but I appreciate you breaking it down,
Thank you and thank God.
Thank you Mr. Corey, I always felt like I was fasting wrong.
Amen bother Corey
This was so good. And people people need to hear this.
Real fast is
*No food
*No calories
*No Listing to thing’s not of God(which should be regular $
*Watching things not of God(which should be regular)
Amen! Thank you for this breakdown. I needed it
Amen, I did not know that some people fast for profit, nice explanations 😊
Finally! I’ve been waiting for this topic!
Thank you so much for sharing your insight with us. I have watched several of your videos over the last few months and have gained from them. This time it was concerning not my fasting so much as what I’m fasting for (the salvation of lost loved ones may be a decent focus, yes-but it really should be just more about HIM) and what I’m doing during my fasting (would certainly watch tv, esp in the evening -but that word from you spoke to me; I’m going to be more focused on my King and spiritual things during my future fasts).
Thank you again. I appreciate your work.
Hey Corey, what about Ezra 8:21-23? Isn’t that an example of how fasting for the purpose of an answered prayer can work?
Also, Esther 4:16 seems to be another example of the above.
God bless You.
Thank you Corey. My son's church is doing a Daniel fast. I think a lot of church's take people from the bible and mirror the fast without understanding. I sent this podcast to him so that he would have an understanding of what fasting is and is not.
I am going to do a Biblical fast
thanks for expaining
Thank you Thank you Thank you!! 🙏🏾🙏🏾
Thank you Corey.
AMEN!!!...PRAISE GOD ❤
Amen
When I was in a charismatic church, we were mandated to fast in order for God to “pour down his blessings” upon us. Nothing I fasted for ever came to fruition but instead I lost a lot of weight and was basically malnourished. Shame on me for not really understanding the Bible back then, so I 100% agree with you brother Corey. 🙏
Thank you so much. I appreciate this video.
Good teaching ❤
Amen, Corey, Thank you for Teaching the Biblical Truth on Fasting! I Fast to get Closer to GOD!

This was so helpful 🙏
Nice one Corey 🙏
Amen!
God bless you Corey and the gift of God that is on your life.

Not Jesus but Yeshua
@shenkexshenkes8592 He has the same name just a different language.
@DiamondInTheRough. I know but I think we should keep His original name on his original language for history and identification..now am struggling to educate my 5yrs old that Jesus name is Yeshua n that he is not white ..but if His name was Yeshua..it will explain all that already
Thank you, this is very informative.
However since the majority spent more time at work in this day and age, hiw can someone approach fasting and prayer while going to work? And you know that at work not all days are sweet days
Could you possibly do more on the purpose of fasting and its benefits? Idk if this video really does it any justice.......
What about anointing your head with oil and washing your face before a fast ?and what if you don't have any anointing oil ?
This is helpful. Would a fast also include black coffee?
I’ve gotten in trouble so much with this and still find myself lacking at times. I am at the point now where I feel guilty about even telling anyone I am fasting to prevent seeming boastful.
I have a question?

I was at a mega church where a pastor was talking about he was on a social media fast. 😂
everyone i know that fast for things they always get….when i fast not for things but to get close to GOD i don’t get it 🤷🏾♀️
so how are all those people fasting and live a life outside of GOD get Bless after
Can i fast to break things off i want to fast to get close to him to break off strongholds? I want that for spiritual growth is that okay?
Also, after i fast or pray i get angry why is that, it's there something wrong with me?
Yes Fasting is specifically for breaking chains and getting closer to God. I recommend the Daniel fast for those who work hard labor jobs.
I'm not saying you can't fast for this but we are told how to deal with strongholds in 2nd Corinthians 10 4-6. The sword of the Spirit demolishes strongholds. We use God's Word to defeat the lies of the enemy and every thing that sets itself up against the knowledge of God. Also we have to be in continual prayer

Did jesus fast to get closer to God?
I always fast everyday. When there’s food, I eat it fast! Not sure if that qualifies?
When you Fast, Anoint yourself with oil or you will be opened up for Spiritual Wickedness... Cry ALOUD for the LORD Jesus Christ who will Deliver You from ALL EVIL!!! Amen!!! ❤🙏 Be Blessed by the HolySpirit of Truth!!!
❤ HolySpirit Power!!! ❤
God Bless EVERYONE!!! ❤

Not true. We do not have to anoint ourselves.

The Biblical way to fast is not do it the TD Jakes way.
what is his idea or take on fasting? I don’t follow his ministry so does he and his church do something non biblical?
You mean NOT TO BE SWAAAALLLOWEDD UP!!!!!
Amen.
