- We hear it every year during the season of Lent; "It's time to buckle up and increase our prayer, fasting and almsgiving."
But are those spiritual disciplines reserved only for Lent?
Today, Dr. Andrew Swafford joins Bobby Angel to discuss how we can do battle with the lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes and pride of life with the threefold spiritual exercises of prayer, fasting and almsgiving year-round!

Bring back the traditions of the Church! Friday Penance (no meat), fasting on Vigils of certain feasts throughout the year. Bring back traditional lent! No meat and fasting all days of lent besides Sundays. Fast one day a week. Daily rosary. Weekly hour of adoration. We have become too soft in our Faith and tradition causes us to yes be spiritual athletes but to gird our loins and level up our spiritual acts!
Please pray for me to receive the grace of being able to fast for God! I struggle with this a lot
I'll pray for you, please pray for me.
@@Jack-uo7gz Thank you I will!
Hi 👋🏻 Joe! What has helped me is visiting with GOD and sitting with Him while fasting in the Blessed Sacrament Adoration chapels…. There are 2 adoration chapels by my house and I am blessed that I can sit with Him daily if I do so will….. 🤍❤️🔥🕊
And so I don’t feel hunger when I am with Him…..

Ephesians 2 KJV
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
2 Corinthians 4 KJV
3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
1 Corinthians 15 KJV
1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
Romans 3 KJV
25 Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;

The masculine energy based 3D here is moving up in ascension and switching to the divine feminine. In order for you to move with these energies and ascend you will have to change your mindset.
Beautiful
🙏🙏🙏
Dr. Swafford, I really liked your video on Divinization that you did for Ascension a while back. I am wondering if you could make a follow-up video and go into more depth. For example, some people might not understand why you quickly bypassed morality to get to the essential point of Christianity (becoming like Christ by sharing in his nature). It needs to be clear for some people that you mean that we are fulfilling, not abolishing. Also, it must be highlighted that the point of Christianity is healing, not rigid morality, and that healing is divinization. It requires greater clarification for the edification of some listeners. Thank you for considering it. By coincidence, I just re-added that video to my saved playlists and here you are! (Haha)
I would like to check out that book. I also like “quiet mental prayer where you just listen.” Would you make a video on the reality of “unceasing prayer,” wherein the Holy Spirit prays without ceasing within us, even during sleep? This is known to the Fathers, but I don't hear much about this today, unfortunately.
“We possess them, they don't possess us”👍
“They'll know us by our love”👍
Thanks for the video, guys, really good job.☺
God bless☺
Forgive me, but it would be nice to see a video on apophatic theology as well. Thanks again and God bless you both. Peace😊

WHAT HAPPENED TO HOW TO FAST???????
I need Catholic fasting 101 like how to fast on bread and water and where to get the electrolytes
That is an incorrect fasting , actually there’s not such thing .. Many don’t explain the fundamentals of fasting correctly .. Actually even tb Joshua explained correctly the same thing … actually bread and water is for serious very very serious arenas and it was only Led BY THE VOICE OF THE SPIRIT OF GOD IN YOU … one cannot try things like in those arenas without Holy Spirit led .. Most typical fasting is the Daniel fast , and or basic Rest like a Saturday or Sunday , like enjoying nature with a few small Christian collegue , or alone … Please do your research , I fell stupid to soo many telling me the wrong way … I had to learn on my ow and it’s been a hellish ride , cause too many don’t know ..!
Fast and repent
THE GOSPEL
Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also
ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
- 1 Corinthians 15: 1-4 KJV
Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. - John 15:13 KJV
SAVALATION
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
- John 3:16 KJV
For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. John 3:17
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
- John 14:6 KJV
Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. Acts 4:12
For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. Romans 5:10
But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. - Isaiah 53:5
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. Ephesians 2:8-9
And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
- Mark 1:15 KJV
