I'm writing this only for the sole purpose of bringing glory to God. I've been fasting for about a week now for various different reasons. And today God healed me from a severe back pain (since 2014). While fasting I never once prayed for the back pain. But today Jesus healed me and made me realise that he's closer to me than I thought.
Can you tell me how the fasting is going? How's your hunger level? I will be starting my fasting tomorrow because I think that's what God wants me to do, is fast. I'm 16 and this is my first time doing anything like this. What is it like?
I love this for you. I've been thinking about fasting and this video popped up. i have some important decisions to make about my future and i have recently come back to God.
I just found my wife of 21 years texting another man everyday for the last 30 days or so in secret. We have six kids and I’m devastated. I’m heart broken and angry writing this from one of my kids room at 3:30am. We go to church and pray together everyday. Thank you for this video. I feel I should fast for 3 days to get closer to God and give me direction with this. Please pray for me. My name is Thomas.
Remain strong in the confident hope that God is more than enough for your situation!! We wrestle not flesh and blood but principalities. Remain steadfast in the word and prayer. I am praying for you as well brother.
When I fast, I personally chose to cut out the socials, secular music, napping, cussing, watching movies and shows and replace these things with holy activities like reading something educational or the bible. I also replace those movies and shows with movies and shows are about bible related. I go outside to enjoy the creation of God, maybe a picnic or a walk or a workout, the videos I watch for entertainment are biblical cartoons on RUclips . I feel like it brings you even closer to God. These things that I cut out are big distractions. You also start to feel more grateful for everything God has done for us. You feel relief and stress free. I definitely recommend. God bless all of you, I love you and I pray all is well.
You know what triggers me about fasting? The fact that you english-speakers call it "fast", when "fasting" is a modern term describing a diet of fast weight los. You should have a word specifically for the religious fast, like we all do. Maybe you can borrow the greek term. It makes me awkward to hear you talk about a tradition so old and so sacred, with a modern term dericed from the field of gym-ing.
Im orthodox and fasting is totally different in our tradition. You see, fasting is for 40 days, bacause Jesus fasted for 40 in the desert. Now, no modern human being can live 40 days without food, so our fast is founded on the tradition of not eating anything that comes from an animal like meat, milk or eggs. Also in the original tradition any kind of oil, including vegetable oil or olive oil is excluded. Also alcohol is excluded. So, for 40 days you can eat just boiled vegetables and bread. In orthodox tradition it is often said that food is just a little piece of the fasting. You should refrain from any kind of earthly pleasure, so in the fast period, which we are rn until Christmas, you should not experience sexual prealures if you decided to fast, nor you should party. Also very importnt in fasting is to not argue. An orthodox bishop once said: "It is useless the fact that you don't eat the flesh of animals, if you eat the flesh of humans". Also in fasting you should be more kind and have more mercy. We also have the idea of "black fasting", where you can't eat anything, just water and some practice it especially in monastery.

I'm on day 4 of a 21-Day fast. I don't feel hungry, but tired. The hunger may be masquerading as fatigue. Other than that, so far so good. My name is Christallin, please pray for me to finish my fast on January 26, 2025. Thank you!❤
@@lifespanwellnessbeauty-60i64 I’m about a week in. I highly recommend rest! Sleep! Put on Christian music or a recording of the Bible. And let the word renew you. It helped me a lot.
Praying for you meet the finish line pray for me as well I caved the last three days I was doing so well for my 21day fast and caved being around others I was tempted to eat other things that didn’t align with the Daniel Fast.❤
The last time I fasted, it was because my son had gone missing, and in my desperation, I prayed to God and promised to fast if He returned my son safely. He answered my prayer almost immediately ❤ and my son came home. In biblical times, entire nations would fast to save their lives! And God always responded favorably. Fasting is POWERFUL. Even a little goes a long way with our God ❤
i’ve been fasting for 3 days and God has been moving! I’ve been delivered from things i never thought i would be, i’ve came to realizations on things ive never even been worried about. if you are thinking about fasting do it!! You are so loved
Started day 1 and I was tempted to eat I actually ordered food and said I’ll start my fast tomorrow then I was convicted and canceled it and said no I can’t keep pushing this back I can do all things through Christ that strengthen me !!! I have to lose this weight and I will lose this weight !!! I am bigger then I ever been weighing 245 and I know God got me this time I feel his arms around me as I said over and over no I can do all things through Christ that strengthen me I don’t need food . Thank u God ! The more I said that over and over the fuller I became u will be tempted but God beats temptation
This is so beautiful. Now, remember to read the scriptures while you fast, Okay? Read a lot of it. That way, the bonds of wickedness like: a lack of self control, gluttony will be broken off your life. Minus the abstinence from good, the reason fasting seems hard is because people are idle during their periods of fast. I enjoyed fasting when I learnt that I could read a lot of my Bible, read a Christian book (like a Kenneth Haggin's book, etc,) listen to a message (like one from Ita Udoh's channel), etc So try these out while praying that the different bonds of wickedness be broken off you
@@beatricebenibo9807 The way you wrote, "the bonds of wickedness like: a lack of self control" is exactly the words I have been looking for. Thank you! When I have fasted in the past it was not intentional. Grief strikes us all differently and for me the world ends. I can't eat. I can't sleep and my mind constantly implores for God's help. All the things we are meant to do to fast. Not telling anyone, speaking and praying to God, having a purpose and abstaining from food come naturally out of despair. So although the time is horrible for me the miracles do come as the natural law of fasting works. SO to fast when I'm not in despair is so difficult that step 1 of even finding the purpose, why? is hard to establish. So what's my point? Beatrice your words, "the wickedness of lack of self control" is my number 1 issue and you've helped me find my ultimate purpose for number 1. Thank you. God Bless. May God be ever present in your life. Thank you
I woke up today and Holy Spirit said “Don’t you want to fast?” And I said nah and I ate. And saw this video. I’m fasting now for sure. Thank you Holy Spirit and also you for being a vessel. ❤

I did my first fast yesterday. No food or water for 12 hours. I didn’t tell anyone and no one noticed I was fasting. I prayed at the beginning. I told God that I submitted to His will and thanked Him for saving me and all the blessings He’s bestowed upon me. I prayer talked to Him all day long. Then about 15 minutes before I was to have my food I prayed to Him again. I delivered my fast to Him and all the desires of my heart flowed through my words and I just kept praying to Him. I denied my self and my flesh by not eating. It’s so simple to do. I will keep fasting and I know I’ll get better at it. I might drink water next time.
Hello... Please let me point out some things. The aim of fasting is not to go hungry but to seek God's face. It's good to fast on a day when. You are quite free from secular work, or even if you have secular work, you can cut out some hours to spend with God. Fasting helps to break the bonds of wickedness in our lives. Do read Isaiah 58 and Zechariah 7 for more understanding. During fasting periods, we learn the ways of God. Please do not only go hungry without actively reading your Bible, or listening to a message, or listening to an audio recording about Jesus during a fast season. Please reach out to me if you want more understanding. Thank you
I am doing this for my financial debts that drowning me in depression and anxiety aside from court case filed against me by my own relative. I believe God will never forsaken and abandoned me and make me triumphant and overcome these obstacles in my life. I do 6pm to 6 am fasting
As someone with an ED and medical disorders I want to fast but I literally can't afford relapse. I pray the God gives me the strength I need to overcome this obstacle.
Me too, I was thinking on fasting on electronics but I am not sure anymore, but the Holy Spirit is urging me to fast, but God know that I can not do it about food because I only think about it as a diet, and can not place my heart at the right place, so I’ve came to the conclusion on going after the electronics but this video made me doubt that, I will pray for God give me an answer on this
@@stephanielove2662 lol same here. The smells are what really get me. im 29 hours into my water fast. I did a 2 day omad prior to that. I find reading the word, praying, or meditating when im tempted is very helpful.
I was fasting last Friday and was thinking to myself "why the heck am I doing this? maybe I should stop fasting so much." This was a much needed video. Thank you
Last month by God's grace, I did a 21 days fast and God healed from a chronic Pelvic pain I had had for 14yrs. It all takes God's grace, discipline, patience and focus during the fast coz sometimes you'll feel like giving up but you have to press to the mark. God is forever faithful
If you've never thought about it, that reveals a lot about your scripture reading, leadership in the church, and understanding of biblical practices, but I'm glad you are now aware. Glory to God!
I did know about fasting and knew it's benefit, but I didn't think that one day I will be able to do it because I love food a lot. But now I know that we do not live by bread only but by the spirit of God. And now I am able to do the fasting with the help of the Holy Spirit ❤
When I fasted around Easter I did it for Good Friday until Easter and my oh my I felt the Holy Spirit like never before and that feeling was the best feeling in the world it’s indescribable like when a mother has a baby the feelings I can’t put into words I wanted to keep feeling it I felt the holy spiritual for about a month! I felt so close to Jesus and wanna feel like that everyday!
@@SilverStarFourtake it slow. You can try fasting in the mornings (skip) breakfast or even skipping things like lunch or dinner (your preference). But start with something like this until you build the strength to go days on end. When you feel hungry turn to the word and talk to God. All He wants is His children to rely on Him. So, find your purpose and find a scripture that matches your purpose and go from there. But remember what you are doing for the LORD shouldn't "hurt" or "painful". Drink plenty of water and ask the Holy Spirit for the purpose of fasting if you're unsure. But be kind to yourself and don't overthink it. God got you but first YOU have to make your mind up. Love you through Christ and hope this. helps.
@@SilverStarFour I totally agree with @SilverStarFour also ask your doctor that’s what it said in the video cuz some diabetics cannot fast cuz they need sugar I am not a Doctor or have a medical degree to give you an answer. But I would also start slowly like SilverStarFour said maybe just eat breakfast skip lunch and eat a Barry small dinner or try to go maybe 24 hours without eating and just drink water 💦 cuz water is very filling. Pray and pray 🙏 to Jesus about it talk to your pastor or your Christian sisters. I can’t tell you how it felt it was indescribable but the best feeling I have ever felt in my life I love my 5 children but the feeling I couldn’t even compare to that! I felt as if Hesus was right next to me everyday everywhere I went I smiled non stop it was just an experience I pray I one day EVERYONE will feel. I’ll also pray for you after you try to do what SuperStarFour and I said and take our advice and ur pastors and Christian sisters advice and Doctors advice please comment and let us know how it went. God bless you and your family 🤲 🙏
@@SilverStarFour I agree with Powerofdatongue, but would also like to add that it is warned against so strongly desiring 'experiences' or a 'sign'. We are to walk by faith, not by sight or experiences. YES, it is beyond wonderful to experience Him, BUT what is more important is, remaining faithful whether you ever receive that or not. Remember He said, "if you love Me, obey Me". The Holy Spirit is there to help you obey and you can know that by your desire to be obedient.
@@SilverStarFour I see what you're saying. Okay, I'll tell you what got it for me and you can try it if you'd like. I'd set aside quiet time for just Him and me, regularly, and I'd always say out loud, that I invite Him to join me. I'd read His Word, out loud, I'd pray, sing and just talk to Him. Then I'd ask Him something and I'd tell Him that I was going to wait on Him to show Himself or respond, and He did. Not all the time mind you, otherwise I think that would remove the faith, but He did. Sometimes it would also be through others, but He would let me know through something private we'd shared or I asked. That's really all I've got - faith, obedience, patience (lotssssssss of patience), fasting and making the room for Him. Update if/when you can 🥰
I tried fasting for the first time a week ago, didn’t realize I was getting sick during it, and had a rough time, but went 10 hours Excited to try again. Hallelujah!
I have just completed my first 6 hour fast ever. I wanted to fast because I felt distant from God. But listen to me…. During my fast, the major problems I was dealing with (one is my low patience with people) were completely gone. I was even going to Fry’s and I saw a homeless person near the entrance and I instantly thought I should give the man water and food, so I did. The way I felt during the fast not only helped me but also helped others. Before I even fasted I wasn’t expecting much to happen, but that completely changed during the 2 hour mark. I was almost like a completely different person but in a “good” way. All I can say is trust the Lord and when you don’t know. Say to yourself “I trust the Lord.”
I can only go 3 days. I usually do 2 days fasts every week. Any tips for going THAT long? I found the 3 day fast made me feel rough for a few days after. Think I ate too much when I broke the fast tho. Cheers
For me, especially when I eat before reading through Bible, 😅my spirit feels weaker and I get sleepy. And when I read before eating, the Holy Spirit feels stronger, His Holy Presence, I feel it more. So yeah! Just a bit of experience! God Bless guys! God is with us in fasting
Picked up my bible again for the first time in I think over a year as a skeptic, started praying and reading, I feel I’m suffering with the sin of gluttony as I have a history of binge eating and have ruined my vessel. I want to bring myself closer to God and I want myself to be a full believer and to get over the biggest temptation in exchange for the light.
I got really sick for awhile and was ready to give up I was suffering so so bad. as a unbeliever cried out to god and then I had this urge not to eat for like a week I pushed though and to my surprise completely changed me in that time I heard God from then on. I suffered from a serious wheat allergy or intolerance my entire life until I was 33. From that fast on my life became supernatural, spiritual I can see the magic of God. I haven’t fasted for awhile but I know it’s about time. This guys telling the truth if you want something great for your life, fast
So I'm doing a 24 hour fast. I drank a lot of water and got on my knees and prayed to him and asked if I could have a job by tomorrow. I'm so tired of being stuck at home. ...I didn't touch any food but water. ...I hope something happens. I'm not asking for anything crazy like materialistic stuff. I just need a job. I'm so tired and I need help. I told him to give me signs. ...I trust him ~ ...I'll keep doing fasting as well...~
@@Rhema-Jesus You bet. Working as a server at dennys currently and got a couple tips myself. Still in training but I'm learning faster and better ~ God is good ~
This may not be in his plan for you right now, but God has wonderful things planned for you. He will give you all you need, he will provide for you. “Seek first the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added unto you.”
This Daniel fast has been hauting me, i tried once and i failed. My braim preassures me to do it again, so i prayed to God that if that worrie and pressure wasnt him, take it away. And he shows me the meaning of fasting, and reminds me of your video. May God be blessed. Amén
I have been feeling the need to Fast for a long looooong time. I believe that the Lord has been putting it in my heart , but I've been procrastinating. Lord, please help me to stop deley and do Your bidding.
Once again Teacher, you always come out with a video that's always relatable! Fasting is LITERALLY what I need to shake things up with the bad habits I've been doing. Amazing how God works in our life. This channel has truly been a blessing in my life and for that, I thank you. May the holy spirit continue to work through you because this is your calling. Again thanks teacher and God bless you always.
Saw this video today: day 1 of my first time fasting on my own will without anyone telling me to ❤ I’m excited to get closer to God, He’s been so good and I love that through this video He confirmed what I had to do, and also I feel enlightened on the giving up social media, since I used to consider that fasting as well. I know it’s not in the scripture to fast social media or things like that, but like you said when I did give those things up for a certain period of time and dedicated that time for God, I grew immensely closer to Him. So whether that’s considered a fast or not only God knows but it’s still very healthy so I encourage to accompany fasting food along w social media and video games and things like that. ❤ Drawing near to God in that way draws Him nearer to us :> God bless everyone !!
Step 1- Pick a Purpose Step 2- Stop Eating (Water if very famished, follow up with prayer immediately) Step 3: Keep it between you and your Lord Step 4: pair Fasting with Prayer 🙏 1- Pick a Purpose “He fasted forty days and forty nights, and afterwards he was famished.” Matthew 4:2 NRSV-CI “He said to them, “This kind can come out only through prayer.”” Mark 9:29 NRSV-CI Step 2: Day 2 & 3 are hard Food- Daniel 10:23 3): Keep it between you and your Lord ““And whenever you fast, do not look dismal, like the hypocrites, for they disfigure their faces so as to show others that they are fasting. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward. But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face, so that your fasting may be seen not by others but by your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you.” Matthew 6:16-18.NRSV-CI 4- Fasting + Prayer
Could the purpose be just because the Bible says, "when you fast?" I sometimes don't have anything specific that I need, want, or am seeking God about, but I still feel like it's important to deny the flesh and draw to God in prayer, praise, and study.
@@michaelmappin4425denying the flesh & drawing closers to God as you wrote, that's the purpose of fasting, we don't need the bible to tell us that, it's common sense. Happy fasting!👍
I’m relieved you mentioned the point not to lie when fasting and say you’re not. Every time I say I won’t be eating, the FIRST question I’m asked at home is “Are you fasting?” It’s always the first thing they assume. And they’re right😭. So from the get-go, I tell my mom and sister I’m fasting so they don’t ask me the question later (which they always do). Others don’t know I’m fasting, just those at home since they see me all the time and know I always eat💀😅. So with them it’s inevitable, hence I just tell them that way they don’t need to cook for me and have the food not be eaten. Watching from South Africa🇿🇦❤️.
When Jesus said to not tell others to fast it was specifically to not boast, as fasting is a way to draw near to God and to draw near to God is to humble yourself. I tell my boyfriend so he doesn’t worry for my health if I fast, and try to get me to eat something, and I tell my mom if she worries or I feel like I have to. You telling your household, just so they are aware and can accommodate for the fast and not worry, is the right thing to do in my opinion. God Bless You ❤️
I am currently on another 3 day fast. I have to agree with others in the comments that once you get past day 2, it becomes a lot easier, at least in my experience. Easier in the sense that I feel God pushing me to new limits more vigorously, indeed growing closer to Him spiritually and physically, and the silence and peace that I have in my head is just pure serenity. I have not gone over a 3 day fast yet but I know I can. Thank you for this video, a great reminder and help for me. God bless all of you and keep your eyes on Jesus, not your own limits, let Him strengthen and establish you. “For with God, all things are possible.” ✝️❤️🔥
My church is doing the Daniel fast for 30 days but told us there are multiple fast that we could choose from. I picked fasting from social media and games. This video made me realize that it may not be a true fast and is something that I am just giving to God. I have fasted from food before for 7 days and heard God speak to me. Giving social media up and games has been kind of easy and I haven’t really felt God close. Looks like I have to switch things up. Thank You!
I feel God started to talk to me again🥺😭 Finally😭 today I’m doing my fast after so long. And this cane to me without event searching. Thanks a lot for your presence oh lord 😭😭😭 I desperately needed to know you are there with me😭
When I did a fast I prayed to God to talk to me in a dream.And I normally never asked that I just say protect me in my dreams.The only thing I ate before my fast was a chick Fla sandwich meal which, was about 4:30.After I ate that I had my first communion class at 6:30 on Wednesdays.Then I came back home and I took a shower and I was really tired because I got home at 8.And my brother came over that same day from collegethat was 1 hour away so keep that in mind.I was just laying in my bed on my phone until 10:20 and decided to go to sleep.I don’t know what time it was but, he came into my room to ask me if I wanted food because his girlfriend was hungry and they wanted jack in the box .I simply said no but he keep saying if I was sure because he knew I haven’t ate anything but the chick Fla.But I said I was fine and that I’ll eat in the morning. And when he left my room. That’s when my dream started.The dream was I was doing a birthday party in our backyard because we have a pool.And my brother invited like 6 friends over.But we were having fun jumping in the pool having a good time but when I was going to jump in the pool.One of his friends pushed me hard to fall into the pool.didn’t think much of it but I was kind of frustrated.Then that same guy and more friends went and open the gate by the fence to leave and left for like 10 mins.And in the dream I didn’t know what they were doing.i don’t remember much but,I was sitting on a table and it looked like a bench.and then they came back and sat on the table. I didn’t realize at the time but the guy who pushed me hard sat right next to me.And then I just yawning with my hands up and was leaning to the right and my hand touched like a receipt. And God told me to in the dream to reach my hand out again.And then I grabbed a bag of cocanie.Once I saw it I turned to my right to see who did I grab it from and it was that guy who pushed me into the pool.And I got up immediately from the table and run to the fence and throw it out and down to a sewer. After I did that that guy was telling me why did you do that, that’s wasn’t yours and pushing me around . And before I said anything I said what’s your name and he said Blake. Then I was telling him “You don’t know what your doing to yourself” “Jesus can save you from your pain” “ this thing is nothing and it’s not going to help you in the end.”He was just not listening to me and getting mad and pushing me just like how he did at the pool. I can tell in the dream he is a very aggressive person.And I wanted to change that because I can from addiction too and Jesus saved me. And I kept explaining to him about Jesus because he wanted to help him because I knew what he was feeling. After I woke up from that dream In shock because I was talking about Jesus and that’s what I prayed for.And I had to go school in the morning but I just wanted to tell my brother in person and not over text .If he had a friend named Blake but I had to wait.Once I got home I asked him and he said yea and why. And then I told him my dream.And after I said the part where I grabbed a bag of coke he said “wow that wild because he’s a plug and he’s a pothead and know for being an addict”. And the shocking part thing is he recent just started talking.To him after a while. Wow this just shows fasting is a perfect way to closer to god even if you doubt it but this is one story I will never forget.
Wow, this is amazing!❤ Thank you for sharing your experience. I love to hear other people’s experiences and what God did for them and more! Glory to God! God is amazing! God bless you and have a good day/night! Always remember God/Jesus loves you!❤ Hallelujah!🙏🏽
Try asking those in your dream what is the date and time and watch them turn into demonic entities dreams are a realm of extreme difference to this world as if we enter into a bond where teachings are from controlled demons . Its strange but those 2 questions can make your dreams turn into nightmares.
God is perfect in his timing. This video popped up just on time. Thank you, Jesus, through this man and this lesson you have taught through this man in Jesus' name, Amen.
So I have an exam in 2 days, but that fear has already been dealt with-all glory and thanks to God for the wisdom He gave my dad, with which my dad used to advice me. {God bless our moms & dads :) } Point is, there was this video about "How to read" and this video was on top, on my RUclips page👀. I chose this video, and to be honest, I'm not fasting right now, and I don't really plan to, but the fact that God solved my exam problem so I can watch this video is really wonderful. I know God's leading me somewhere...I dont know where but I pray that as time goes on, my faith will grow. Thank You Lord for this video, you know what is good for us. Oh and Jesus Loves you too❤! You, your team and everyone else!
This was amazing. May God bless you. Thank you for this video, I just realized how I am far from our Father, and I start a bit crying. My goal right now is to be closer to God, so I will try fasting this week. Pray about all people in this time, so we would not be too weak for temptation and could defeat this world and ourselves to be closer to God!
Every single time I have had something on my heart over the last 3 months whether it’s been a concept or question within 2 days a video about it comes out on this channel. This is truly anointed and Holy Spirit lead.
Thank you so very much for addressing the topic of Fasting! It's so true that if we try to "fast" without prayer, it's basically a diet! Prayer is crucial and goes hand in hand with fasting!!! I'm struggling trying to commit to Fasting and need help from the Holy Spirit to approach it in the right way and correctly incorporate it in my work life! Thank you again for the lesson and God bless you immensely 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
The main thing in fasting is not prayer though...it's hearing God speak... and that will mean reading your Bible or studying. Remember you are waiting on God, and you are waiting on Him to hear him speak, not you coming to talk...... Prayer is you talking, Studying and reading is you listening. Ecclesiastes 5:1 Guard your steps when you go to the house of God. Go near to listen rather than to offer the sacrifice of fools, who do not know that they do wrong. Ecclesiastes 5:2 Do not be quick with your mouth, do not be hasty in your heart to utter anything before God. God is in heaven and you are on earth, so let your words be few. The reason why you decide to fast is not to come talking, but listening to hear what God will say. Prayer only comes when you have heard him speak....it's your response to the things he said.😊 I hope you understand? And since you have a work life... just set some hours daily aside and be in his face hearing from him..that is fasting.
@@johnjustice4420both are needed to be in a genuine relationship with The Lord. But yes, people should realize that prayer in fasting is not about getting what you want but a humble conversation, making space for Gods voice to come through. The Bible shows us that prayer is what we do when we fast, but how we pray is important. It should involve our awareness of scripture because then we know who we are talking to and how to respond- this helps us not pray blindly
I been failing my fast for about a few weeks now. My enemies sabatoge my peace to destroy my fast. Very hard, but seeing how many are going through the same is truly helping. Thank you for this video.
Haven't fasted since i was a kid, 20 years later about to finish a 12hr fast and its an eye opening experience. Thank you Lord for seeing me through. I need to do this more often
Taking a moment to appreciate the perfect art style you provide us in your videos. It sure is a helpful teaching tool God gave you to convey His message.
I have grown up in the church my whole life, I love how you explains things in your videos. Even growing up in church you hear things, and you get so used to hearing them and one day you realize you don't even completely understand the meaning or how to apply what you believe. These videos have truly been a help to me to understanding what I believe and how to apply it. Thanks for the videos and your ministry.
I am fasting for 3 days with no water or food for this period. Today is my 3rd day. I am to God to mend my broken relationship and restore what has been lost. I have faith that he will answer my prayer and i will come back to share my testimony
When i was working I used to fast at work co workers (some were Christians) knew i was fasting, but at lunch time I did not read Bible or pray..... Now 75 I still keep one day for fasting ,but there are many challenges apart from hunger family or friends needs help ,or....but I thank God He helps me to keep that day to be with Him 🙇♀️ Hallelujah Thank you brother for the reminder
The fact that I saw this video before I fast tmrw with my brothers and sisters in church tells me this is genuinely God showing me this. God bless everyone who read this comment🫶🏻
I’m being led to fast 40 days and 40 nights like Jesus did.. longest fast I’ve done is 21 days and did that twice. I really need to die to my flesh and come alive more in the spirit. I rely on food for comfort and want to be rid of idols. God showed me in a dream I was in a room with unclean spirits and I was praying them away and they wouldn’t go. Jesus reminded me that some don’t go without prayer AND FASTING. And immediately I knew what I had to do. My parents go away for 2 months in September, this is when I will do my 40 days, without distraction from my time with God. I will still work at my job just cut down my hours to really pray, read scripture and other spiritual material. My spirit man has been craving this for a couple years now. And after I would like to implement short and more frequent fasts.
I have been fasting and today is the last day and i am coming across the video, i have a feeling God will do great things in my life through this fasting 🙏, thank you for the video, it enlightened me 😊
The Holy Spirit is working HARD today, I happened to have been wanting to fast but was struggling to get started so I did one meal and felt like it wasn't enough. Thank you for this video brother! God bless you! (This took place today because I work overnight so talk about timing)
I am a breastfeeding mom of three. I wanted to do a water fast for 5 days, by which I meant only to drink water with electrolytes, and tea (no sugar or honey in the morning and evening). I was able to get through a full 24 hours before I needed to allow myself some bread (sourdough). I came down with a cold and was unable to continue on the original fast I wanted to do. I am reminding myself that I am giving so much of my nutrients to my son and now with being sick on top of that, I am giving myself grace (from God). At first I was disappointed in myself and felt guilty and ashamed because I felt like I was breaking a promise to God. But God has met me where I am and does not frown upon me. I have decided to not abstain completely from all food, but will abstain from sugar, processed food, and animal products for 3 weeks. Don't be so hard on yourselves!
I'm collectively fasting tomorrow with others in our worship team at church, eating a good dinner stew tonight before. Get on RUclips to check the news out and here comes a fasting video on the head of my scrolling 😊🙌🏿 Glory to God on High
I have fasted once for 24 hours. I didn't look to any specific guide but I also used water and prayer as a way to fight hunger, so I am glad I got that right! While walking around the town at dinner time, I met a homeless person who asked me if I had some money to give him. I went to the nearest place where I could buy warm food and bought him food...it was not easy to not buy food for me but I resisted. I was not able to find an answer to my questions at that time: maybe I did not pray enough and probably the reason that time was to "see how it is to fast". I should do it again with a specific purpose and probably pray more.
I just started fasting last november 15 for the byzantine fast until december 24. During the day, i try to meditate on my bible and do a 1 hr walk of prayer and talking to God. I’m not sure if i’m doing anything right but i do feel so refreshed pr relaxed like the holy spirit’s really strong. And yeah, the first 3 days that i didn’t eat made me lose my mind 😂
@@user-j1spswelskisj yes i do. For anyone asking i stopped til the 5th day of no food since it really made me weak. Now, i decided just to fast everyday for 40 days. Only eating at 6:00 pm.
The Orthodox (probably what you mean by Byzantine) fast is to eat one meal after 3pm (if you can), and abstain from meat, dairy, oil, and alcohol (except on various days when the fast is lighter.) Many have abstained from all food, and even water, for 40 days leading up to Christmas or Holy Week, but the prescribed fast is not so strict as that.
Hey, I want to fast to get closer to God but i feel so weak and when I see food I'm just starting to think.. oh.. maybe someday I'll do fasting. I'm so sad I don't know what to do.
@@poco12331 Hello! Aww, don't be sad. You know why ? Because God Is so Amazing, He knows your very heart and desires. You're blessed just because of that. You want a closer relationship with The Lord! He sees and He knows! I would suggest starting off slow. Don't try to fast for 40 days, like Jesus! LOL Start with a few hours and gradually, over time, do more. You can follow the Biblical example if fasting, in regard to, what to obtain from. From what I know, you obstain from or stop consuming any food, beverage, of course defiling your body with fornication, smoking or drinking are all forbidden. Fasting includes, praying, repenting or a focus on God, His Word and the focus of becoming closer with The Lord. You may also include something you are paying for God to do in your life. It may be for God to cast ceratin things out of your life, purification from evil spirits from someone. Maybe asking God, for healing or A Mighty move in your life or another expectation from God. Fasting is, denying the body, on order to enrich the your soul and Holy Spirit. In the Bible, when Esther fasted, she called upon The Lord and asked for His help. Sh even asked her maidens and the Jews to fast with her. She fasted for three days to experience God's power, mercy and grace. Daniel fasted in order to receive guidance from God. Nehemiah fasted before beginning a major building project. Jesus fasted during his victory over temptation. So, I don't think there's a limitation on what to fast for. I'm no expert either. I would also suggest, reading Biblcal accounts of fasting and pattern your next fast after those. 📖 Maybe start with the way Yeshua(Jesus) fasted, but not the same length of time. You can also do research on line. Please be careful, listen to The Holy Spirit, listen to your body and only do what you know you're capable of. Because you do not want unwise decisions about your health and wellness. God understands. Above all, seek Him. God hears you. Hope this helps. God bless🙌🏽💌
Absolutely love this channel. It breaks down a lot of things so simply that I share it with a ton of people who need a lot of scripture broken down because they understand the easier. Thank you guys so much for creating this channel ❤
Amen alleluiaa, we should be vigilant regarding fasting, because the enemy will definitely try to deflect us. If we really love God, we'll surely have a flame for fasting. May the Lord strengthen our spirit and make us get closer to Him..🙏
Thank you, I feel like my prayers have been weakened lately. I have been struggling and I think I need this to help get rid of some demons that have been trying to attack me lately. ❤
"hurry is the death of prayer" I think that's exactly what I needed to hear. I swear sometimes God will pepper in the perfect video or content for you to learn what you need to learn. I've been struggling with anxiety lately and it feels like everything is moving so fast that I can't keep up. I've never seen one of your videos and I usually open 10-15 videos in the morning to see what's going on. This just so happened to be the first one. Sometimes, you need to slow down and realign your focus. Especially when it comes to your relationship with God. Thank you for the video. God Bless you on your journey. Amen.
You gave me the final sign of doing fasting :) Thank you! I needed that, you really are helping people draw near to our God 🤗 Thank you, thank you!! God bless all of you 🙏
I needed this clarification. I thought I was fasting from social media, when in fact, I'm actually sacrificing it for a while. Thank you for teaching me how to fast properly. God's teaching me stuff and speaking to me through RUclips and TikTok.
Technically, fasting from social media could fell into the category of fasting, since many people have fleshly desires (even addictions) regarding social media, and for some social media is even an idol... Fasting and sacrificing things for God are not mutually exclusive, since we sacrifice our daily needs (eating) for a short period of time. But fasting from social media etc. is spiritual side of fasting, where abstaining from food (or certain food products) is physical side of it. Or rather, through food fasting our bodies can participate in the spiritual fast, which is struggling with temptations and sins and reaching towards God.
One thing I know about my first attempt fasting was I got weak flesh wise I felt calm in a soft weak way Im slow to anger and I'm more focus but when I broke fast I became more human like and did wrong things Fasting is powerful and it brought out my spirit and I do desperately need it to reveal to me,one day we will all go home but let's rejoice and pray we still have time left not much but still ❤❤❤
You are precious to God! Many are given artistic talent but to be given the guidance to use it to further God’s kingdom is a declaration of his love for you.
I had just been thinking about whether or not I should start fasting when I saw this video show up at the top of my feed. God's timing is perfect. Thank you for this helpful lesson.
Ive been thinking about fasting lately for the first time, just then this video came up. Thank you lord. IVM Thank you so much aswell, youve taught me and millions about our lord and Savior Jesus Christ. You have inspired so many. Thank you. Keep doing what you do. Praise Jesus and have a good day everybody❤❤✝️
Please pray for me as I fast for My daughter’s healing and deliverance from autism. She is 9 years old and has had some improvements, but I believe for a full healing and deliverance because that’s the God I serve. She will be a testament to his power and glory in Jesus name!
Please do read scriptures on healing. Play an audio Bible near her bed. Do not complain or murmur (ask for forgiveness if you have made negative confessions in the past). Ask for forgiveness for any open door you, your husband or your ancestry has opened and trust that Gods will be done. Do read books by Smith Wiggles worth. This will increase your faith
As a diabetic, it's hard to fast, for me, for 24 hours. I can usually miss one or two meals. Don't push it, I don't believe God wants you to pass out. Fast as safely as you, make it count...sugar actually spikes when you don't eat, so just becareful... God knows you're trying ...God bless

I have recently found my way back to Gods never ending love and i have some habits to break and important decisions to make, I'm going to start off with a 24hr fast and build myself up to a week. I have been thinking about fasting and then seen this video pop up without ever searching for any info about it yet. The lord truly works in mysterious ways and thank you for this information. Much peace and blessings be upon you.
Thanks for the share! 😊 As a prayer woman, I've been fasting and praying a few days a week for years now, and I can't do without it, as it keeps me closer to Abba Father and spiritual awake etc. Now and then I fast for one or two weeks, but I always have three days of preparation before and after, when I only eat vegetables, fruits and yogurt, to prepare my body for a longer fast, bedside drinking enough water etc. During a longer fast, I have a light form for exercise daily, and drink enough water etc ( to keep the system nicely), and I myself prefer to drink water, milk, green tea 🍵 etc during a longer fast, and I also take Omega 3. If one have a blender, one can make smoothies and milkshake etc. I'm over 56, and twice I've fasted for three days without any food or drink, because we were in a crucial situation, and I wanted to cry out to Abba Father this way, and He heard the cry and helped us out!😊 The first time I did this He gave me a song the third day called "Glorify Your Name", and you can listen to it on my tiny channel.
I've been experiencing this promt to fast for the past few days now. I haven't even brought it before the Lord in prayer, but after seeing this video I'm 100% sure that the Holy Spirit is leading me to a time of fasting. So grateful for the video. ❤
During my last fast, everytime my stomach growled was just a reminder to talk to and give thanks to god. I've never felt closer to him for longer than that short 3 day period
Was literally planning on fasting a couple days now for spiritual and physical discipline and i also want to take some things to God in payer about my fam so thank you brother for this encouragement ❤
Thank you Jesus for this🙏 Planned to fast today but got tempted by food and negative ideas about me having ulcer. I later entered RUclips just for this to pop-up on the screen. I'll definitely watch this again. Thank you Jesus 🙏. Thank you sir👏
Thank you. I’ve wanted to fast for a long time, but I often lose motivation. Before I begin my ministering, there’s a reason I've seen this video over and over again. But this is the time I’m watching with full concentration and commitment because I’m determined to start my fasting journey.
I'm writing this only for the sole purpose of bringing glory to God. I've been fasting for about a week now for various different reasons. And today God healed me from a severe back pain (since 2014). While fasting I never once prayed for the back pain. But today Jesus healed me and made me realise that he's closer to me than I thought.
He’s always been that close to you and always will be 😊
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Thank you Lord for healing this person, in Jesus name 🙏✝️
Can you tell me how the fasting is going? How's your hunger level? I will be starting my fasting tomorrow because I think that's what God wants me to do, is fast. I'm 16 and this is my first time doing anything like this. What is it like?
I love this for you. I've been thinking about fasting and this video popped up. i have some important decisions to make about my future and i have recently come back to God.
I just found my wife of 21 years texting another man everyday for the last 30 days or so in secret. We have six kids and I’m devastated.

When I fast, I personally chose to cut out the socials, secular music, napping, cussing, watching movies and shows and replace these things with holy activities like reading something educational or the bible. I also replace those movies and shows with movies and shows are about bible related. I go outside to enjoy the creation of God, maybe a picnic or a walk or a workout, the videos I watch for entertainment are biblical cartoons on RUclips . I feel like it brings you even closer to God. These things that I cut out are big distractions. You also start to feel more grateful for everything God has done for us. You feel relief and stress free. I definitely recommend. God bless all of you, I love you and I pray all is well.

You know what triggers me about fasting? The fact that you english-speakers call it "fast", when "fasting" is a modern term describing a diet of fast weight los. You should have a word specifically for the religious fast, like we all do. Maybe you can borrow the greek term. It makes me awkward to hear you talk about a tradition so old and so sacred, with a modern term dericed from the field of gym-ing.
Im orthodox and fasting is totally different in our tradition. You see, fasting is for 40 days, bacause Jesus fasted for 40 in the desert. Now, no modern human being can live 40 days without food, so our fast is founded on the tradition of not eating anything that comes from an animal like meat, milk or eggs. Also in the original tradition any kind of oil, including vegetable oil or olive oil is excluded. Also alcohol is excluded. So, for 40 days you can eat just boiled vegetables and bread. In orthodox tradition it is often said that food is just a little piece of the fasting. You should refrain from any kind of earthly pleasure, so in the fast period, which we are rn until Christmas, you should not experience sexual prealures if you decided to fast, nor you should party. Also very importnt in fasting is to not argue. An orthodox bishop once said: "It is useless the fact that you don't eat the flesh of animals, if you eat the flesh of humans". Also in fasting you should be more kind and have more mercy. We also have the idea of "black fasting", where you can't eat anything, just water and some practice it especially in monastery.

The last time I fasted, it was because my son had gone missing, and in my desperation, I prayed to God and promised to fast if He returned my son safely. He answered my prayer almost immediately ❤ and my son came home. In biblical times, entire nations would fast to save their lives! And God always responded favorably. Fasting is POWERFUL.

Started day 1 and I was tempted to eat I actually ordered food and said I’ll start my fast tomorrow then I was convicted and canceled it and said no I can’t keep pushing this back I can do all things through Christ that strengthen me !!! I have to lose this weight and I will lose this weight !!! I am bigger then I ever been weighing 245 and I know God got me this time I feel his arms around me as I said over and over no I can do all things through Christ that strengthen me I don’t need food . Thank u God ! The more I said that over and over the fuller I became u will be tempted but God beats temptation
This is so beautiful. Now, remember to read the scriptures while you fast, Okay? Read a lot of it. That way, the bonds of wickedness like: a lack of self control, gluttony will be broken off your life. Minus the abstinence from good, the reason fasting seems hard is because people are idle during their periods of fast. I enjoyed fasting when I learnt that I could read a lot of my Bible, read a Christian book (like a Kenneth Haggin's book, etc,) listen to a message (like one from Ita Udoh's channel), etc So try these out while praying that the different bonds of wickedness be broken off you
@@beatricebenibo9807 The way you wrote, "the bonds of wickedness like: a lack of self control" is exactly the words I have been looking for. Thank you! When I have fasted in the past it was not intentional. Grief strikes us all differently and for me the world ends. I can't eat. I can't sleep and my mind constantly implores for God's help. All the things we are meant to do to fast. Not telling anyone, speaking and praying to God, having a purpose and abstaining from food come naturally out of despair. So although the time is horrible for me the miracles do come as the natural law of fasting works. SO to fast when I'm not in despair is so difficult that step 1 of even finding the purpose, why? is hard to establish. So what's my point? Beatrice your words, "the wickedness of lack of self control" is my number 1 issue and you've helped me find my ultimate purpose for number 1. Thank you. God Bless. May God be ever present in your life. Thank you

@mihaifloares2503 fasting just means to stop eating , yes people use it to weight lost , but fasting itself is to stop eating
I did my first fast yesterday. No food or water for 12 hours. I didn’t tell anyone and no one noticed I was fasting. I prayed at the beginning. I told God that I submitted to His will and thanked Him for saving me and all the blessings He’s bestowed upon me. I prayer talked to Him all day long. Then about 15 minutes before I was to have my food I prayed to Him again. I delivered my fast to Him and all the desires of my heart flowed through my words and I just kept praying to Him. I denied my self and my flesh by not eating. It’s so simple to do. I will keep fasting and I know I’ll get better at it. I might drink water next time.
Hello... Please let me point out some things. The aim of fasting is not to go hungry but to seek God's face. It's good to fast on a day when. You are quite free from secular work, or even if you have secular work, you can cut out some hours to spend with God. Fasting helps to break the bonds of wickedness in our lives. Do read Isaiah 58 and Zechariah 7 for more understanding. During fasting periods, we learn the ways of God. Please do not only go hungry without actively reading your Bible, or listening to a message, or listening to an audio recording about Jesus during a fast season. Please reach out to me if you want more understanding. Thank you

Last month by God's grace, I did a 21 days fast and God healed from a chronic Pelvic pain I had had for 14yrs. It all takes God's grace, discipline, patience and focus during the fast coz sometimes you'll feel like giving up but you have to press to the mark.
God is forever faithful
What did you eat/drink during your fast ?
I never thought of fasting until I watched this video. I now feel closer to God more than I ever did before❤
If you've never thought about it, that reveals a lot about your scripture reading, leadership in the church, and understanding of biblical practices, but I'm glad you are now aware.
Glory to God!
I did know about fasting and knew it's benefit, but I didn't think that one day I will be able to do it because I love food a lot. But now I know that we do not live by bread only but by the spirit of God. And now I am able to do the fasting with the help of the Holy Spirit ❤
When I fasted around Easter I did it for Good Friday until Easter and my oh my I felt the Holy Spirit like never before and that feeling was the best feeling in the world it’s indescribable like when a mother has a baby the feelings I can’t put into words I wanted to keep feeling it I felt the holy spiritual for about a month! I felt so close to Jesus and wanna feel like that everyday!
@@SilverStarFourtake it slow. You can try fasting in the mornings (skip) breakfast or even skipping things like lunch or dinner (your preference). But start with something like this until you build the strength to go days on end.
When you feel hungry turn to the word and talk to God. All He wants is His children to rely on Him.
So, find your purpose and find a scripture that matches your purpose and go from there. But remember what you are doing for the LORD shouldn't "hurt" or "painful". Drink plenty of water and ask the Holy Spirit for the purpose of fasting if you're unsure. But be kind to yourself and don't overthink it. God got you but first YOU have to make your mind up. Love you through Christ and hope this. helps.
@@SilverStarFour I totally agree with @SilverStarFour also ask your doctor that’s what it said in the video cuz some diabetics cannot fast cuz they need sugar I am not a Doctor or have a medical degree to give you an answer. But I would also start slowly like SilverStarFour said maybe just eat breakfast skip lunch and eat a Barry small dinner or try to go maybe 24 hours without eating and just drink water 💦 cuz water is very filling. Pray and pray 🙏 to Jesus about it talk to your pastor or your Christian sisters. I can’t tell you how it felt it was indescribable but the best feeling I have ever felt in my life I love my 5 children but the feeling I couldn’t even compare to that! I felt as if Hesus was right next to me everyday everywhere I went I smiled non stop it was just an experience I pray I one day EVERYONE will feel. I’ll also pray for you after you try to do what SuperStarFour and I said and take our advice and ur pastors and Christian sisters advice and Doctors advice please comment and let us know how it went. God bless you and your family 🤲 🙏
@@SilverStarFour I agree with Powerofdatongue, but would also like to add that it is warned against so strongly desiring 'experiences' or a 'sign'. We are to walk by faith, not by sight or experiences. YES, it is beyond wonderful to experience Him, BUT what is more important is, remaining faithful whether you ever receive that or not. Remember He said, "if you love Me, obey Me". The Holy Spirit is there to help you obey and you can know that by your desire to be obedient.
@@SilverStarFour I see what you're saying. Okay, I'll tell you what got it for me and you can try it if you'd like. I'd set aside quiet time for just Him and me, regularly, and I'd always say out loud, that I invite Him to join me. I'd read His Word, out loud, I'd pray, sing and just talk to Him. Then I'd ask Him something and I'd tell Him that I was going to wait on Him to show Himself or respond, and He did. Not all the time mind you, otherwise I think that would remove the faith, but He did. Sometimes it would also be through others, but He would let me know through something private we'd shared or I asked. That's really all I've got - faith, obedience, patience (lotssssssss of patience), fasting and making the room for Him. Update if/when you can 🥰

I have just completed my first 6 hour fast ever. I wanted to fast because I felt distant from God. But listen to me…. During my fast, the major problems I was dealing with (one is my low patience with people) were completely gone. I was even going to Fry’s and I saw a homeless person near the entrance and I instantly thought I should give the man water and food, so I did. The way I felt during the fast not only helped me but also helped others. Before I even fasted I wasn’t expecting much to happen, but that completely changed during the 2 hour mark. I was almost like a completely different person but in a “good” way. All I can say is trust the Lord and when you don’t know. Say to yourself “I trust the Lord.”
I am on Ten days fasting.... Pls uphold me in your prayers. 🙏
I can only go 3 days. I usually do 2 days fasts every week. Any tips for going THAT long? I found the 3 day fast made me feel rough for a few days after. Think I ate too much when I broke the fast tho. Cheers
I Am praying with you and for you!!!
Good work, what part of step 3 don't you understand. Keep it between u and God. U blew it.
@@matthewpearce8481it’s not you doing it it’s the Holy Spirit helping you. You just have to totally rely on God. I mean TOTALLY
What all are you consuming?
I’ve been praying for guidance on how to decrease my flesh and increase my spirit and faith in God. Thank you Lord for your answer!🙌🏾
For me, especially when I eat before reading through Bible, 😅my spirit feels weaker and I get sleepy. And when I read before eating, the Holy Spirit feels stronger, His Holy Presence, I feel it more. So yeah! Just a bit of experience! God Bless guys! God is with us in fasting
Definitely
The same for me as well!
Sounds like Bible idis
Picked up my bible again for the first time in I think over a year as a skeptic, started praying and reading, I feel I’m suffering with the sin of gluttony as I have a history of binge eating and have ruined my vessel.
I want to bring myself closer to God and I want myself to be a full believer and to get over the biggest temptation in exchange for the light.
I got really sick for awhile and was ready to give up I was suffering so so bad. as a unbeliever cried out to god and then I had this urge not to eat for like a week I pushed though and to my surprise completely changed me in that time I heard God from then on. I suffered from a serious wheat allergy or intolerance my entire life until I was 33. From that fast on my life became supernatural, spiritual I can see the magic of God. I haven’t fasted for awhile but I know it’s about time. This guys telling the truth if you want something great for your life, fast
Jesus fasted 40 days and 40 nights!!!! Thank You Jesus for all The sacrifice ❤🙌🏾

Wait so he didn’t eat at all ??!! 😮😮😮😮 I need to google this. Alll praise to Yeshua ❤❤❤
@@Miing_323 noooo He didn’t!😂😂😂Isn’t Our Savior awesome? He did it just got you and I ❤️🙌🏾
You would die if you tried this.
@@xiCaIPax no you won’t, human body can go 40 days and nights without food. 😊
So I'm doing a 24 hour fast. I drank a lot of water and got on my knees and prayed to him and asked if I could have a job by tomorrow. I'm so tired of being stuck at home. ...I didn't touch any food but water. ...I hope something happens. I'm not asking for anything crazy like materialistic stuff. I just need a job. I'm so tired and I need help. I told him to give me signs. ...I trust him ~ ...I'll keep doing fasting as well...~
Did He deliver your job?
@@Rhema-Jesus You bet. Working as a server at dennys currently and got a couple tips myself. Still in training but I'm learning faster and better ~ God is good ~
@@Rhema-Jesus he did ~~
This may not be in his plan for you right now, but God has wonderful things planned for you. He will give you all you need, he will provide for you. “Seek first the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added unto you.”
@@Rhema-Jesus He did ~~
This Daniel fast has been hauting me, i tried once and i failed. My braim preassures me to do it again, so i prayed to God that if that worrie and pressure wasnt him, take it away. And he shows me the meaning of fasting, and reminds me of your video. May God be blessed. Amén
I have been feeling the need to Fast for a long looooong time. I believe that the Lord has been putting it in my heart , but I've been procrastinating. Lord, please help me to stop deley and do Your bidding.
Yes, do it! Especially if the Lord is calling you to! It is so hard but sooo rewarding!! You will definitely draw nearer to God!!
Likewise
Amen !
Once again Teacher, you always come out with a video that's always relatable! Fasting is LITERALLY what I need to shake things up with the bad habits I've been doing. Amazing how God works in our life. This channel has truly been a blessing in my life and for that, I thank you. May the holy spirit continue to work through you because this is your calling. Again thanks teacher and God bless you always.
God help us both!
Jesus said that no one besides him is our teacher. We are all Brothers in Sisters and only Jesus is our Teacher.
I call him by that because he used to be a sunday school teacher ..@@david6580
Dude when i was fasting my mom got the job she was looking for! God did!
Amen 🎉
What were you doing in the meantime?
Praise god
Saw this video today: day 1 of my first time fasting on my own will without anyone telling me to ❤ I’m excited to get closer to God, He’s been so good and I love that through this video He confirmed what I had to do, and also I feel enlightened on the giving up social media, since I used to consider that fasting as well. I know it’s not in the scripture to fast social media or things like that, but like you said when I did give those things up for a certain period of time and dedicated that time for God, I grew immensely closer to Him. So whether that’s considered a fast or not only God knows but it’s still very healthy so I encourage to accompany fasting food along w social media and video games and things like that. ❤ Drawing near to God in that way draws Him nearer to us :> God bless everyone !!
Step 1- Pick a Purpose
Step 2- Stop Eating (Water if very famished, follow up with prayer immediately)
Step 3: Keep it between you and your Lord
Step 4: pair Fasting with Prayer 🙏
1- Pick a Purpose
“He fasted forty days and forty nights, and afterwards he was famished.”
Matthew 4:2 NRSV-CI
“He said to them, “This kind can come out only through prayer.””
Mark 9:29 NRSV-CI
Step 2:
Day 2 & 3 are hard
Food- Daniel 10:23
3): Keep it between you and your Lord
““And whenever you fast, do not look dismal, like the hypocrites, for they disfigure their faces so as to show others that they are fasting. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward. But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face, so that your fasting may be seen not by others but by your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you.”
Matthew 6:16-18.NRSV-CI
4- Fasting + Prayer
thank you for this
TY for taking the time to write this out 🙏🏽
Could the purpose be just because the Bible says, "when you fast?" I sometimes don't have anything specific that I need, want, or am seeking God about, but I still feel like it's important to deny the flesh and draw to God in prayer, praise, and study.
@@michaelmappin4425denying the flesh & drawing closers to God as you wrote, that's the purpose of fasting, we don't need the bible to tell us that, it's common sense. Happy fasting!👍
How many hours should I fast for? Please answer 😭😊
I’m relieved you mentioned the point not to lie when fasting and say you’re not. Every time I say I won’t be eating, the FIRST question I’m asked at home is “Are you fasting?” It’s always the first thing they assume. And they’re right😭. So from the get-go, I tell my mom and sister I’m fasting so they don’t ask me the question later (which they always do). Others don’t know I’m fasting, just those at home since they see me all the time and know I always eat💀😅. So with them it’s inevitable, hence I just tell them that way they don’t need to cook for me and have the food not be eaten.
Watching from South Africa🇿🇦❤️.
When Jesus said to not tell others to fast it was specifically to not boast, as fasting is a way to draw near to God and to draw near to God is to humble yourself. I tell my boyfriend so he doesn’t worry for my health if I fast, and try to get me to eat something, and I tell my mom if she worries or I feel like I have to.
You telling your household, just so they are aware and can accommodate for the fast and not worry, is the right thing to do in my opinion.
God Bless You ❤️
@@MaddisonHarris-r2q thank you for the response. I appreciate it.
😅 it's so encouraging reading from believers from my home country. God bless you and keep you ❤ Much love, from Mount Fletcher.
❤
Praise god, I was worried about the same thing but luckily you had the same concerns, ask and god will answer 🙏🙏
I am currently on another 3 day fast. I have to agree with others in the comments that once you get past day 2, it becomes a lot easier, at least in my experience. Easier in the sense that I feel God pushing me to new limits more vigorously, indeed growing closer to Him spiritually and physically, and the silence and peace that I have in my head is just pure serenity. I have not gone over a 3 day fast yet but I know I can. Thank you for this video, a great reminder and help for me. God bless all of you and keep your eyes on Jesus, not your own limits, let Him strengthen and establish you.
“For with God, all things are possible.” ✝️❤️🔥
My church is doing the Daniel fast for 30 days but told us there are multiple fast that we could choose from. I picked fasting from social media and games. This video made me realize that it may not be a true fast and is something that I am just giving to God. I have fasted from food before for 7 days and heard God speak to me. Giving social media up and games has been kind of easy and I haven’t really felt God close. Looks like I have to switch things up. Thank You!
I was literally struggling with my fast today. I needed this 🙌🏾
You got this 💪 Keep pushing
This was really helpful ❤
I was a very strict person and I want the holy ghost back and a shave GOD BACK. PLEASE I AM WAY BEHIND. K NEED TK.GK BACK
I feel God started to talk to me again🥺😭 Finally😭 today I’m doing my fast after so long. And this cane to me without event searching. Thanks a lot for your presence oh lord 😭😭😭 I desperately needed to know you are there with me😭
When I did a fast I prayed to God to talk to me in a dream.And I normally never asked that I just say protect me in my dreams.The only thing I ate before my fast was a chick Fla sandwich meal which, was about 4:30.After I ate that I had my first communion class at 6:30 on Wednesdays.Then I came back home and I took a shower and I was really tired because I got home at 8.And my brother came over that same day from collegethat was 1 hour away so keep that in mind.I was just laying in my bed on my phone until 10:20 and decided to go to sleep.I don’t know what time it was but, he came into my room to ask me if I wanted food because his girlfriend was hungry and they wanted jack in the box .I simply said no but he keep saying if I was sure because he knew I haven’t ate anything but the chick Fla.But I said I was fine and that I’ll eat in the morning. And when he left my room. That’s when my dream started.The dream was I was doing a birthday party in our backyard because we have a pool.And my brother invited like 6 friends over.But we were having fun jumping in the pool having a good time but when I was going to jump in the pool.One of his friends pushed me hard to fall into the pool.didn’t think much of it but I was kind of frustrated.Then that same guy and more friends went and open the gate by the fence to leave and left for like 10 mins.And in the dream I didn’t know what they were doing.i don’t remember much but,I was sitting on a table and it looked like a bench.and then they came back and sat on the table. I didn’t realize at the time but the guy who pushed me hard sat right next to me.And then I just yawning with my hands up and was leaning to the right and my hand touched like a receipt. And God told me to in the dream to reach my hand out again.And then I grabbed a bag of cocanie.Once I saw it I turned to my right to see who did I grab it from and it was that guy who pushed me into the pool.And I got up immediately from the table and run to the fence and throw it out and down to a sewer. After I did that that guy was telling me why did you do that, that’s wasn’t yours and pushing me around . And before I said anything I said what’s your name and he said Blake.
Then I was telling him “You don’t know what your doing to yourself” “Jesus can save you from your pain” “ this thing is nothing and it’s not going to help you in the end.”He was just not listening to me and getting mad and pushing me just like how he did at the pool. I can tell in the dream he is a very aggressive person.And I wanted to change that because I can from addiction too and Jesus saved me. And I kept explaining to him about Jesus because he wanted to help him because I knew what he was feeling. After I woke up from that dream In shock because I was talking about Jesus and that’s what I prayed for.And I had to go school in the morning but I just wanted to tell my brother in person and not over text .If he had a friend named Blake but I had to wait.Once I got home I asked him and he said yea and why. And then I told him my dream.And after I said the part where I grabbed a bag of coke he said “wow that wild because he’s a plug and he’s a pothead and know for being an addict”. And the shocking part thing is he recent just started talking.To him after a while. Wow this just shows fasting is a perfect way to closer to god even if you doubt it but this is one story I will never forget.
Wow, this is amazing!❤ Thank you for sharing your experience. I love to hear other people’s experiences and what God did for them and more! Glory to God! God is amazing! God bless you and have a good day/night! Always remember God/Jesus loves you!❤ Hallelujah!🙏🏽
Try asking those in your dream what is the date and time and watch them turn into demonic entities dreams are a realm of extreme difference to this world as if we enter into a bond where teachings are from controlled demons . Its strange but those 2 questions can make your dreams turn into nightmares.
Can we have dreams from God or are they all controlled by demons? And what dream do you remember most?
Nice! I love how God speaks in dreams!
@@calumkeohoneable Yes, God give dreams too. Ask God to direct you to scriptures that will help you to understand.
I love fasting...it drawse me near to God and he answers my prayers
God is perfect in his timing. This video popped up just on time. Thank you, Jesus, through this man and this lesson you have taught through this man in Jesus' name, Amen.
So I have an exam in 2 days, but that fear has already been dealt with-all glory and thanks to God for the wisdom He gave my dad, with which my dad used to advice me. {God bless our moms & dads :) } Point is, there was this video about "How to read" and this video was on top, on my RUclips page👀. I chose this video, and to be honest, I'm not fasting right now, and I don't really plan to, but the fact that God solved my exam problem so I can watch this video is really wonderful. I know God's leading me somewhere...I dont know where but I pray that as time goes on, my faith will grow. Thank You Lord for this video, you know what is good for us. Oh and Jesus Loves you too❤! You, your team and everyone else!
This was amazing. May God bless you. Thank you for this video, I just realized how I am far from our Father, and I start a bit crying. My goal right now is to be closer to God, so I will try fasting this week. Pray about all people in this time, so we would not be too weak for temptation and could defeat this world and ourselves to be closer to God!
Every single time I have had something on my heart over the last 3 months whether it’s been a concept or question within 2 days a video about it comes out on this channel. This is truly anointed and Holy Spirit lead.
Thank you so very much for addressing the topic of Fasting! It's so true that if we try to "fast" without prayer, it's basically a diet! Prayer is crucial and goes hand in hand with fasting!!! I'm struggling trying to commit to Fasting and need help from the Holy Spirit to approach it in the right way and correctly incorporate it in my work life! Thank you again for the lesson and God bless you immensely 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
The main thing in fasting is not prayer though...it's hearing God speak... and that will mean reading your Bible or studying.
Remember you are waiting on God, and you are waiting on Him to hear him speak, not you coming to talk...... Prayer is you talking, Studying and reading is you listening.
Ecclesiastes 5:1 Guard your steps when you go to the house of God. Go near to listen rather than to offer the sacrifice of fools, who do not know that they do wrong.
Ecclesiastes 5:2 Do not be quick with your mouth, do not be hasty in your heart to utter anything before God. God is in heaven and you are on earth, so let your words be few.
The reason why you decide to fast is not to come talking, but listening to hear what God will say.
Prayer only comes when you have heard him speak....it's your response to the things he said.😊
I hope you understand?
And since you have a work life... just set some hours daily aside and be in his face hearing from him..that is fasting.
@@johnjustice4420both are needed to be in a genuine relationship with The Lord. But yes, people should realize that prayer in fasting is not about getting what you want but a humble conversation, making space for Gods voice to come through. The Bible shows us that prayer is what we do when we fast, but how we pray is important. It should involve our awareness of scripture because then we know who we are talking to and how to respond- this helps us not pray blindly
@@jenii523It can be about getting what you want as long as it meets up with God's will. The Holy Spirit will guide you.
@@suzannejane1035 true, but since we’re praying for Gods will, we’re really praying for what God wants to come on the earth 😊
I been failing my fast for about a few weeks now. My enemies sabatoge my peace to destroy my fast. Very hard, but seeing how many are going through the same is truly helping. Thank you for this video.
Haven't fasted since i was a kid, 20 years later about to finish a 12hr fast and its an eye opening experience. Thank you Lord for seeing me through. I need to do this more often
Taking a moment to appreciate the perfect art style you provide us in your videos. It sure is a helpful teaching tool God gave you to convey His message.
This is a confirmation. I can do this with Jesus who gives me strength.
I have grown up in the church my whole life, I love how you explains things in your videos. Even growing up in church you hear things, and you get so used to hearing them and one day you realize you don't even completely understand the meaning or how to apply what you believe. These videos have truly been a help to me to understanding what I believe and how to apply it. Thanks for the videos and your ministry.
I am fasting for 3 days with no water or food for this period. Today is my 3rd day. I am to God to mend my broken relationship and restore what has been lost. I have faith that he will answer my prayer and i will come back to share my testimony
When i was working I used to fast at work co workers (some were Christians) knew i was fasting, but at lunch time I did not read Bible or pray.....
Now 75 I still keep one day for fasting ,but there are many challenges apart from hunger family or friends needs help ,or....but I thank God He helps me to keep that day to be with Him 🙇♀️ Hallelujah
Thank you brother for the reminder
Can you please help me. I didn't mean to go basin to the flesh and leave acid and do evil. Hoe to get everything back. This is and bad.
The fact that I saw this video before I fast tmrw with my brothers and sisters in church tells me this is genuinely God showing me this. God bless everyone who read this comment🫶🏻
I am fasting exactly now, thanks Jesus I received these tips
Remember to keep fasting a secret between you and God while doing it!!! 🙏🏻✝️🙌🏻🤍
I have fasted a long time before but I never fasted for God's glory, now I'm excited to try it!
Amen amen amen hallelujah hallelujah. Thank you My HEAVENLY FATHER. Thank you brother I was in confusion you cleared it thank you
I started a 3 day fast today! God bless 🙌 🙏 ❤️
This is a blessing, literally fasting right now and I’m soo happy this is out 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
How ever long you plan on fasting I hope you complete it ❤
I’m being led to fast 40 days and 40 nights like Jesus did.. longest fast I’ve done is 21 days and did that twice. I really need to die to my flesh and come alive more in the spirit. I rely on food for comfort and want to be rid of idols. God showed me in a dream I was in a room with unclean spirits and I was praying them away and they wouldn’t go. Jesus reminded me that some don’t go without prayer AND FASTING. And immediately I knew what I had to do. My parents go away for 2 months in September, this is when I will do my 40 days, without distraction from my time with God. I will still work at my job just cut down my hours to really pray, read scripture and other spiritual material. My spirit man has been craving this for a couple years now. And after I would like to implement short and more frequent fasts.
I've done 21 days before and am on my second 21-Day fast right now.
Fast isn't just starving to death, is to get closer to God, hear his voice and seek for him
AMEN MY BROTHER!!
AMEN!!!
In Jesus name Amen 🙏🏾
I have been fasting and today is the last day and i am coming across the video, i have a feeling God will do great things in my life through this fasting 🙏, thank you for the video, it enlightened me 😊
The Holy Spirit is working HARD today, I happened to have been wanting to fast but was struggling to get started so I did one meal and felt like it wasn't enough. Thank you for this video brother! God bless you! (This took place today because I work overnight so talk about timing)

I am a breastfeeding mom of three. I wanted to do a water fast for 5 days, by which I meant only to drink water with electrolytes, and tea (no sugar or honey in the morning and evening). I was able to get through a full 24 hours before I needed to allow myself some bread (sourdough). I came down with a cold and was unable to continue on the original fast I wanted to do. I am reminding myself that I am giving so much of my nutrients to my son and now with being sick on top of that, I am giving myself grace (from God). At first I was disappointed in myself and felt guilty and ashamed because I felt like I was breaking a promise to God. But God has met me where I am and does not frown upon me. I have decided to not abstain completely from all food, but will abstain from sugar, processed food, and animal products for 3 weeks. Don't be so hard on yourselves!
I was thinking about fasting tomorrow and I got notification of this video praise to be GOD for leading us in the right way ❤️
I'm collectively fasting tomorrow with others in our worship team at church, eating a good dinner stew tonight before. Get on RUclips to check the news out and here comes a fasting video on the head of my scrolling 😊🙌🏿
Glory to God on High
I have fasted once for 24 hours.
I didn't look to any specific guide but I also used water and prayer as a way to fight hunger, so I am glad I got that right!
While walking around the town at dinner time, I met a homeless person who asked me if I had some money to give him. I went to the nearest place where I could buy warm food and bought him food...it was not easy to not buy food for me but I resisted.
I was not able to find an answer to my questions at that time: maybe I did not pray enough and probably the reason that time was to "see how it is to fast".
I should do it again with a specific purpose and probably pray more.
pray more and read your bible more
Yes more prayer and Bible during the fast. 🙏🏽
Perhaps you were the answer to the homeless person's prayer. They may have been an angel.❤
I’m about to complete my first 21 day Daniel Fast on Sunday I Give All The Glory To Jesus Christ Respectfully 🙏🏾
I just started fasting last november 15 for the byzantine fast until december 24. During the day, i try to meditate on my bible and do a 1 hr walk of prayer and talking to God.
I’m not sure if i’m doing anything right but i do feel so refreshed pr relaxed like the holy spirit’s really strong.
And yeah, the first 3 days that i didn’t eat made me lose my mind 😂
m.ruclips.net/video/_wgpYjoHPD4/видео.html&pp=ygUgSG93IHRvIGZhc3QgcmVhbCBiaWJsZSBiZWxpZXZlcnM%3D
Do you drink water
@@user-j1spswelskisj yes i do.
For anyone asking i stopped til the 5th day of no food since it really made me weak. Now, i decided just to fast everyday for 40 days. Only eating at 6:00 pm.
The Orthodox (probably what you mean by Byzantine) fast is to eat one meal after 3pm (if you can), and abstain from meat, dairy, oil, and alcohol (except on various days when the fast is lighter.) Many have abstained from all food, and even water, for 40 days leading up to Christmas or Holy Week, but the prescribed fast is not so strict as that.
You can eat but eat light...it's not the skipping meal, it's the posture of your heart God is concerned about.
Thank you for this video! I've been asking God about fasting and this is a life-saver. Thank you! All glory to the Lord!
So true, I have gotten so much closer to God while fasting. He has revealed Himself to me in ways that are indescribable. Amazing
Hey, I want to fast to get closer to God but i feel so weak and when I see food I'm just starting to think.. oh.. maybe someday I'll do fasting. I'm so sad I don't know what to do.
@@poco12331
Hello! Aww, don't be sad. You know why ? Because God Is so Amazing, He knows your very heart and desires. You're blessed just because of that. You want a closer relationship with The Lord! He sees and He knows! I would suggest starting off slow. Don't try to fast for 40 days, like Jesus! LOL
Start with a few hours and gradually, over time, do more. You can follow the Biblical example if fasting, in regard to, what to obtain from. From what I know, you obstain from or stop consuming any food, beverage, of course defiling your body with fornication, smoking or drinking are all forbidden.
Fasting includes, praying, repenting or a focus on God, His Word and the focus of becoming closer with The Lord. You may also include something you are paying for God to do in your life. It may be for God to cast ceratin things out of your life, purification from evil spirits from someone. Maybe asking God, for healing or A Mighty move in your life or another expectation from God. Fasting is, denying the body, on order to enrich the your soul and Holy Spirit. In the Bible, when Esther fasted, she called upon The Lord and asked for His help. Sh even asked her maidens and the Jews to fast with her. She fasted for three days to experience God's power, mercy and grace.
Daniel fasted in order to receive guidance from God. Nehemiah fasted before beginning a major building project.
Jesus fasted during his victory over temptation.
So, I don't think there's a limitation on what to fast for.
I'm no expert either. I would also suggest, reading Biblcal accounts of fasting and pattern your next fast after those. 📖
Maybe start with the way Yeshua(Jesus) fasted, but not the same length of time. You can also do research on line.
Please be careful, listen to The Holy Spirit, listen to your body and only do what you know you're capable of. Because you do not want unwise decisions about your health and wellness. God understands. Above all, seek Him. God hears you.
Hope this helps. God bless🙌🏽💌
Absolutely love this channel. It breaks down a lot of things so simply that I share it with a ton of people who need a lot of scripture broken down because they understand the easier. Thank you guys so much for creating this channel ❤
Amen alleluiaa, we should be vigilant regarding fasting, because the enemy will definitely try to deflect us. If we really love God, we'll surely have a flame for fasting. May the Lord strengthen our spirit and make us get closer to Him..🙏
Thank you, I feel like my prayers have been weakened lately. I have been struggling and I think I need this to help get rid of some demons that have been trying to attack me lately. ❤
I've been going back and forth about fasting and whether I need to do it and I am taking this as a confirmation I should go for it.
Me too
"hurry is the death of prayer" I think that's exactly what I needed to hear.
I swear sometimes God will pepper in the perfect video or content for you to learn what you need to learn.
I've been struggling with anxiety lately and it feels like everything is moving so fast that I can't keep up.
I've never seen one of your videos and I usually open 10-15 videos in the morning to see what's going on.
This just so happened to be the first one.
Sometimes, you need to slow down and realign your focus. Especially when it comes to your relationship with God.
Thank you for the video. God Bless you on your journey.
Amen.
You gave me the final sign of doing fasting :)
Thank you! I needed that, you really are helping people draw near to our God 🤗 Thank you, thank you!! God bless all of you 🙏
I needed this clarification. I thought I was fasting from social media, when in fact, I'm actually sacrificing it for a while. Thank you for teaching me how to fast properly. God's teaching me stuff and speaking to me through RUclips and TikTok.
Technically, fasting from social media could fell into the category of fasting, since many people have fleshly desires (even addictions) regarding social media, and for some social media is even an idol... Fasting and sacrificing things for God are not mutually exclusive, since we sacrifice our daily needs (eating) for a short period of time. But fasting from social media etc. is spiritual side of fasting, where abstaining from food (or certain food products) is physical side of it. Or rather, through food fasting our bodies can participate in the spiritual fast, which is struggling with temptations and sins and reaching towards God.
@@HomoEucharistica Thank you 😊
AMENNN
One thing I know about my first attempt fasting was I got weak flesh wise I felt calm in a soft weak way Im slow to anger and I'm more focus but when I broke fast I became more human like and did wrong things Fasting is powerful and it brought out my spirit and I do desperately need it to reveal to me,one day we will all go home but let's rejoice and pray we still have time left not much but still ❤❤❤
I just wanted to ask, did you prat during the fast?
@@joffa4673 yes I prayed without prayer or reading stricture it’s just a diet 🤭 God bless you
What type of weak bc I got weak but I was weak before hand my iron is very low and I was already barely eating
You are precious to God! Many are given artistic talent but to be given the guidance to use it to further God’s kingdom is a declaration of his love for you.
I had just been thinking about whether or not I should start fasting when I saw this video show up at the top of my feed. God's timing is perfect. Thank you for this helpful lesson.
Ive been thinking about fasting lately for the first time, just then this video came up. Thank you lord. IVM Thank you so much aswell, youve taught me and millions about our lord and Savior Jesus Christ. You have inspired so many. Thank you. Keep doing what you do. Praise Jesus and have a good day everybody❤❤✝️

Please pray for me as I fast for My daughter’s healing and deliverance from autism. She is 9 years old and has had some improvements, but I believe for a full healing and deliverance because that’s the God I serve. She will be a testament to his power and glory in Jesus name!
Amen
Please do read scriptures on healing. Play an audio Bible near her bed. Do not complain or murmur (ask for forgiveness if you have made negative confessions in the past). Ask for forgiveness for any open door you, your husband or your ancestry has opened and trust that Gods will be done. Do read books by Smith Wiggles worth. This will increase your faith
Amen ! I’m months late but fasting today and praying for your family.
Amen
Try with CBD oil.
Great video brother, truly the LORD is working through you for His glory
As a diabetic, it's hard to fast, for me, for 24 hours. I can usually miss one or two meals. Don't push it, I don't believe God wants you to pass out. Fast as safely as you, make it count...sugar actually spikes when you don't eat, so just becareful... God knows you're trying ...God bless
Its spikes because stored sugar is released into the blood stream.
I’m borderline Type 2 DM, maybe that’s why I get headaches when I try to fast.
@@soni7949 why don't you adjust your basal rate if on a pod or increase your lantus if self injections or just take a correction dose of fast acting insulin? I'm a diabetic as well
@RestoringMindsets that's extremely unbiblical he wasn't fasting he was mourning you can not eat when fasting
@@soni7949 you can do 6pm to 6am it’s all about your heart and connection with God
Thank you for this. Tomorrow will be my first fast....these instructions are very helpful. God Bless You!!!!🙏🏾❤️

I have recently found my way back to Gods never ending love and i have some habits to break and important decisions to make, I'm going to start off with a 24hr fast and build myself up to a week. I have been thinking about fasting and then seen this video pop up without ever searching for any info about it yet. The lord truly works in mysterious ways and thank you for this information. Much peace and blessings be upon you.
Thanks for the share! 😊 As a prayer woman, I've been fasting and praying a few days a week for years now, and I can't do without it, as it keeps me closer to Abba Father and spiritual awake etc. Now and then I fast for one or two weeks, but I always have three days of preparation before and after, when I only eat vegetables, fruits and yogurt, to prepare my body for a longer fast, bedside drinking enough water etc. During a longer fast, I have a light form for exercise daily, and drink enough water etc ( to keep the system nicely), and I myself prefer to drink water, milk, green tea 🍵 etc during a longer fast, and I also take Omega 3. If one have a blender, one can make smoothies and milkshake etc.
I'm over 56, and twice I've fasted for three days without any food or drink, because we were in a crucial situation, and I wanted to cry out to Abba Father this way, and He heard the cry and helped us out!😊 The first time I did this He gave me a song the third day called "Glorify Your Name", and you can listen to it on my tiny channel.
I've been experiencing this promt to fast for the past few days now. I haven't even brought it before the Lord in prayer, but after seeing this video I'm 100% sure that the Holy Spirit is leading me to a time of fasting. So grateful for the video. ❤
During my last fast, everytime my stomach growled was just a reminder to talk to and give thanks to god. I've never felt closer to him for longer than that short 3 day period
Was literally planning on fasting a couple days now for spiritual and physical discipline and i also want to take some things to God in payer about my fam so thank you brother for this encouragement ❤
Thank you Jesus for this🙏
Planned to fast today but got tempted by food and negative ideas about me having ulcer. I later entered RUclips just for this to pop-up on the screen. I'll definitely watch this again. Thank you Jesus 🙏. Thank you sir👏
Thank you. I’ve wanted to fast for a long time, but I often lose motivation. Before I begin my ministering, there’s a reason I've seen this video over and over again. But this is the time I’m watching with full concentration and commitment because I’m determined to start my fasting journey.
Use the scriptures stated in his "Armour of God" video! When you have scripture at hand it really helps.❤
I'm trying fasting but I failed I ask God for help then I bumped into this video ❤
Just want to say as a baby Christian you provide a practical way to embrace the kingdom. I’m grateful for that
I've been wanting advice on how to fast for a few days, and when I saw this video appear... God prepares everything! ✨️🙏
