- Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.“ 🤍
John 6:35 ESV
I admire you for trying to fast. Sometimes I try to do it and just can't even make it through one day. And then there are other times when you feel like God is calling you to fast, and you can feel His strength helping you throughout the day. He has helped me get through several long fasts. I agree with you that how you choose to fast is between you and the Lord. I always just give up food, but drink liquids. During the fast, I always feel closer to the Lord, and more focused on Him and His Word. It's a feeling I wish would never go away. By the way, I love Dave's killer bread! 😊
Is fasting required for Christians?
No. God required the Israelites to fast on Atonement Day, but he eliminated that observance after Jesus permanently atoned for the sins of repentant people. (Hebrews 9:24-26; 1 Peter 3:18) Christians are not under the Mosaic Law, of which Atonement Day was a part. (Romans 10:4; Colossians 2:13, 14) Therefore, each Christian may decide for himself whether to fast.-Romans 14:1-4.
Christians recognize that fasting is not the focus of their worship. The Bible never associates fasting with happiness. In contrast, true Christian worship is marked by joy, reflecting the personality of Jehovah, “the happy God.”-1 Timothy 1:11; Ecclesiastes 3:12, 13; Galatians 5:22.
Misconceptions about the Bible’s view of fasting
Misconception: The apostle Paul recommended fasting to Christian married couples.-1 Corinthians 7:5, King James Version.
Fact: The oldest Bible manuscripts do not mention fasting at 1 Corinthians 7:5. b Evidently, Bible copyists added a reference to fasting, not only to this verse but also to Matthew 17:21; Mark 9:29; and Acts 10:30. Most modern Bible translations omit these spurious references to fasting.
Misconception: Christians should fast in commemoration of the 40 days that Jesus fasted in the wilderness after his baptism.
Fact: Jesus never commanded such a fast, nor are there any Scriptural indications that early Christians observed it. c
Misconception: Christians should fast when commemorating Jesus’ death.
Fact: Jesus did not command his disciples to fast when commemorating his death. (Luke 22:14-18) While Jesus said that his disciples would fast when he died, he was not issuing a command but merely stating what was going to happen. (Matthew 9:15) The Bible instructed Christians who were hungry to eat at home before observing the Memorial of Jesus’ death.-1 Corinthians 11:33, 34.
a God told the Israelites: “You should afflict yourselves,” or “afflict your souls,” on Atonement Day. (Leviticus 16:29, 31; King James Version) This expression is understood to refer to fasting. (Isaiah 58:3) Thus, the Contemporary English Version uses this rendering: “You must go without eating to show sorrow for your sins.”
b See A Textual Commentary on the Greek New Testament, by Bruce M. Metzger, Third Edition, page 554.
c Regarding the history of the 40-day fast of Lent, the New Catholic Encyclopedia states: “In the first three centuries, the period of fasting in preparation for the paschal [Easter] feast did not exceed a week at the most; one or two days was the usual limit. . . . The first mention of a period of 40 days occurs in the fifth canon of the Council of Nicaea (325), although some scholars dispute whether Lent is meant there.”-Second Edition, Volume 8, page 468.
The people need to know about God’s plan for us
We have SO much in common I relate to you so much! Thank you for sharing about your walk, it’s helped me a lot this morning to watch your videos ❤️
Amen. Thank you for sharing.
Hi I heard your video I just wanted to add that fasting is not only sustaining from food there's a lot of ways you can fast which could be fasting from internet TV working out excetera excetera excetera God bless. Keep doing what you are doing
Fasting is really hard but what makes it even harder is your flresh desires you need God to do it wholeheartedly its even harder when you have people around you. Advise i would give you is to do it once every month it helps a lot i do three day dry fast it's a sacrifice worth it
If you drink coffee, tea or soda, caffeine withdrawal has all those symptoms as well.
You cannot do this without preparation. Also if you have headaches you should take a pinch of salt and magnesium.2nd day should be literally a divine experience. I can give you a couple of videos on how to prepare your body for the longer fast which is longer than 24 hours.
hey could you link those videos for the longer fast?
