Prayer and fasting opens doors that you'd never have imagined. God is truly faithful, and He does honour His word. I've had all my prayers answered when I fasted and prayed. Praise Jesus.
Hi @Cynthia, I would love to start my fast as soon as I get clarity. Do you mind sharing the type of fast you did? How long it was, what you ate or drunk if it was not a dry fast and the scriptures that you read? Your response is highly appreciated 🙏
@Kaatri Eelu hi, sorry for the late response. I did both the Esther and the Daniel fast, but at different times E.g, the Esther fast was, I think, 5 or 6 years ago, this I didn't do solo but with my family, and we literally saw heaven and earth 'open'. We are still enjoying the fruits of the breakthroughs we experienced. it was, I think, just a water fast for 3 days, I remember occasionally taking glucose just to get some energy because I was so weak. The Daniel fast I did roughly 21 days, to be honest it was not perfect but God was gracious. I basically ate just fruits and vegetables. No animal products. I was really devastated at the time, and God answered me in a tremendous way. This was last year around February/ March. I read both Esther and Daniel when doing the fasts and also would read Psalms. You can also read Isaiah 58 on the right way of fasting. Towards the end of last year, I also fasted, I did the 3 day water fast, and on the second day, I was having dreams that were literally happening the very next day. I had told my colleagues the dreams just casually ( because it was concerning work) and then these things would happen just like I had dreamt, they were really shocked (I was too) and one even said that that would make them start believing in God. I could go on and on, but what I've learnt is the importance of fasting and praying. You will literally see protocols broken, etc.. It has to, however, be from the heart. Our God is truly an awesome God.
Before you fast guys- know your body, you can still fast with water. If you have any medical conditions that will put your body into shock or dehydration- please drink water during the three days. Preferably water with electrolytes.
I’ve done the Ester fast more than 5 times in the past 3 years....but now 🙆🏽♀️ I need God more than ever but I’m struggling to even pray 🥺 and I miss my relationship with Christ.... you must be God sent for me to actually do this 🙌🏽
@@foreverrachel please help me and explain, do I fast from food and water for 3 days from 12am midnight to 6pm for an Ester fast? And after the 6pm I can eat something? I'm terribly confused. Also how many times must I pray? Thank you kindly Melbourne Australia
I went on my first Esther fast and let me tell you God really took out the junk that I had been avoiding for years! I am so glad you’ll be doing more faith based videos Rachel
God is great, here I’m praying & making up my mind to do a 3 day fast & here I stumble across this! God has confirmed it for me. Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday. Help me God🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
So glad you wrote your comment! Today is Monday 07.18.22 and I was going to wait until Thursday and it’s as if I felt the Spirit of God ask “Why wait to Thursday?”….then I saw your comment! I will TRUST YOU Lord!! GOD BLESS
I have never done esther fast, a dry fast. In the last week i had God apeak to me that i should pray and fast. I didn't know how to do it but the urge to fast and pray was so intense. So i did a dry fast for 3 days, God sustained me. The second day i felt alittle dizy i asked God for divine strength through the holy spirit. On the third day i felt strength in me i call it divine strength, i have never felt this good before both spiritually and physically. God started answering my prayers even before i broke my first. Nothing is impossible through the power of the Holy spirit. I love food but i was deepened in worship that i didn't think of food
I am happy I am supposed to be on a 21 days fast that I have failed to finish but I did 8 days of fasting, it was my first time. I feel some change in my life already. I want to do the Esther fast too.
I felt like the Holy Spirit wanted me to fast straight away I heard dry fast I was putting it off for awhile so I'm going to b obedient and start tomorrow
@@foreverrachel thank you I will I'm on medication so I can only do 6 am to 12pm but God is good I'm heeding your advise so I know I can get deeper in pray and study the word I plan to read the book of Esther like you said I have my pray points written down and I'm set I pray that I can really get the results like you pros
Lol it’s so funny that you said “you better eat Now” girlll that was sooo me I ate sooo much before my fast, all of my fav foods lol! Today is my second day and I almost lost hope but I know that I can and will finish my fast! Thank you, I’m so ready to see the miracles that God is about to work!
I can totally relate. When my mother first today me about Esther i was like nahhhh im not ready yet😂😣(plus im a foodie). But 3 days after she suggested it i started considering it and so now im preparing for it. I'm so excited💃🏾.
This is confirmation for me. I stated this morning I want to fast. Thanks thanks for doing this video. God bless you and may you experience God’s presence and strength.
Hi Rachel this is so true what you are saying when you have a challenge in your life its only God who can change that situation around for your good its good to hear from you teaching about the Esther fast we give God all the glory God bless you🙏🙏🙏
Im a chef....and ive been called to do this fast. The first day 4 people tried to get me after i told them i was fasting. Im 34.5hrs into this fast and i feel like im on drugs wtf. I feel high and scatterbrained. This job is tryna entrap me into a violent cycle ive never been in and this fast making me hangry 😩😫
Am on my 3rd of the Esther fast with my husband today has been hard yhooo but the connection and presence of God feels so beautiful it’s so challenging this fast especially that I am so big on food …..Am so grateful that God has seen me through this fast am shocked and proud 3days straight no foood just spending time in Gods presence
Amen sisi🙌🏾thank you for sharing… this really came at the right time. I have been dragging my fast, giving myself reasons to postpone it. But I will do it this time. ❤️
Hi, I just want to thank you for making this video. I've never done an Esther fast before and I feel the Lord leading me to do it. This really encouraged me. Please pray for me, I plan to start Monday. God bless 💕
Thank you for the motivation. God is really somthing else. Things are rwally not going well my side & today us my 1st Esther Fast. You have just encouraged me.
Thank you Sis. Agnes for posting Rachel’s video…And thank you Rachel for sharing what has been laid on your heart re: Esther Fast…I am now a subscriber…👀 have not done a dry fast in a very long time…I am on medication and usually do the Daniel fast…But I am open to whatever God lays on my ❤️…Keep me in your 🙏🏾s…May God continue to bless both you and Agnes’ family, ministry and all you put your hands to in Jesus’ Name. Amen
Hey Love, thank you for sharing this video. I am on my Esther Fast. I just completed Day 2. For the most part of the day. It was good, but towards then end I felt a little drained. My Menstrual Cycle came early. I feel like it's a sign of detoxing. Thank you for this encouragement. I appreciate this video.
God will make it to where you are not even hungry!!! If you keep your mind stayed on him and focus on him he will sustain you forsure! I believe I can do this I know I can I am afraid and I love water I can do without food but water ill be like a dog in heat lol but I’m going to pray that God helps me thru this and I am believing God for a overall breakthrough in my life
Just discovered this channel. Loving this video so much. Im getting South African accent vibes? Now so curious to catch up on all your videos. Love discovering new fellow Christian RUclipsrs 😍💕
Wow this is amazing I never try this but am going to try ABBA Father give me the grace to do this in the name of Jesus and heal my wound as I do this thank you Jesus for your mercy
This video is right on time I'm beginning my Esther fast tomorrow I'm now learning how to do a proper fast in terms of freeing up so this video has given me some help thank you I'm also mew to your channel
Love that your Christian, your channel is named after my favorite video game song Forever Rachel from Final Fantasy VI, when I search for it your videos pop up
Hey Rachel I came across ur video today about the Esther fasting u know I a trusting God for massive breakthrough I have never done the Esther fasting can u please explain to me am not allow to eat or drink for three days only brushed my teeth ,bath,pray right I Wana do it next week
Would an Esther fast be smart for someone who is on chronic medication?😢 I really want to do it and like I feel like I've been called to because it's literally on my RUclips all the time, but I'm scared cause I literally have to take pills every day after meals😭
You can fast more than once it’s up to you. Truthfully- you intuition will tell you when you need to fast again. I started my fast and haven’t done this fast in two years, however I was going through some battles and my spirit told me it was time to fast.
@@CherryJ2911 There is mint free gum, also red hot gum- it’s so hot, you will not taste the sugar. Fasting is about your relationship with God, and he understands all- if you feel as if you’re about to faint or have low blood sugar from your fast and chew gum. God will still honor your fast, because you’re fasting from your heart and you’re trying your best. Not everyone can do the Ester fast, and if you can fast by only chewing gum and drink water. I’m sure the faster will be fine!
Chewing gum makes your hunger pains worse. It tricks the digestive system into thinking it needs to be digesting food. So please don't chew gum and make your hunger pains worse
Hey Rach baby girl! I'm so proud of you and what God is doing in your life. More grace...more grace!🙌
Thanks mommy. God is good 🙏🏽💕
Is this beautiful girl your daughter
No!!! I follow both of u and it never occurred to me that She's THEE Rachel

I tap into this blessing ,I am on the first day of dry fasting …Esther fast
Currently on my 2nd day of fasting. I’m fasting with just water for 3 days and my hunger is really calling out to me today. I will make it!
2nd day always worst!
2nd day is the worst at least for me personally.
Nearly broke mine but by God’s grace still standing😤
@@ThembanganiMdluli stand strong 💪
im on day 2 as we speak ...Tough, but the good Lord is carrying and i will make it
The Esther fast is a really powerful fast and allows spiritual growth. And closeness to God.
Can you drink water on an Esther fast or is it dry?
@@afriendofjesusafriendofmin1168 You can drink water or you can dry fast. Both results work.
I am about breaking my Esther fast. I Thank God for the Grace to go through this successful..God is faithful...miracles are coming my way. Amen

I am on a Daniel Fast, but i really wanna do an Esther fast and I pray God will give me the strength.
what's the different????
@@leslienichols6253 So with the Daniel fast your eat things like veggies, and with Esther there is no eating and drinking water.
I've never done Esther fasting,I usually do 3 day fasting with veggies after dark and water.
I will pray about it and ask God for strength.
I will come and testify how God did a miracle for me in my Esther fast
Please let us know
Update pls

Hello
Love your honesty ❤
I wish i could do the esther fast but i have an eating disorder and am on medication from chronic illness so i guess i will do another kind of fast
Can you share how you break the Esther fast?
Foodie here too...big time😂💃🏽
Woow, you went to work.. I'm inspired
Hey Rachel I came across ur video today about the Esther fasting u know I a trusting God for massive breakthrough I have never done the Esther fasting can u please explain to me am not allow to eat or drink for three days only brushed my teeth ,bath,pray right I Wana do it next week
Yes please do more faith based videos. Thanks 🙏

we missed you on the tube
thank you for sharing, it was encouraging.
Love this.
Am a foodie wish I can fast😥
Love this ♥️♥️
Having troubles with LIFE nje. Tjo I need God, feeling like the bottom has been ripped out from under me.
Please message me if you want to talk. I’m here 💕
Thanks so much, God bless you,
Thank you very much sister
Would an Esther fast be smart for someone who is on chronic medication?😢
I really want to do it and like I feel like I've been called to because it's literally on my RUclips all the time, but I'm scared cause I literally have to take pills every day after meals😭
Were u taking any liquids during ur Esther fast? Cos my biggest challenge is da thirst 😢. I'm on my 3rd day and dehydration is on another level
But the way the Jewish community does the Esther fast is that for 3 days they do not eat anything from sun rise to sun set
I'm a foodie too🥺
Amen Esthers rock
Esther amen
Pls Rachel what’s the exact time to end my Esther fast?
Thanks
Could you please explain if we can eat in the night ? Or no food and water at all for the 3 days?
Esther 4:16, the scripture says that you can’t eat or drink in three days
So no you can’t eat in the night
I want to try the Easter fasting must we pray every hour or ?
How did it go?
Amen Glory
What time do you start and break? For instance if you intend to commence on Friday?
So your fast would start at midnight on Friday, and end at midnight on Sunday.
@@foreverrachel thank you for responding. Stay blessed
I think those are only 2 days @ Racheal
Hello,how many times must do the 3-days fast, only once or more?
You can fast more than once it’s up to you. Truthfully- you intuition will tell you when you need to fast again. I started my fast and haven’t done this fast in two years, however I was going through some battles and my spirit told me it was time to fast.

Is the esther fast 6 am to 6pm no water ?
It's a three day fast, you break after three days
@@mercyatuhaire2618 so basically after 6pm u eat or u are not eating at all for the entire 3 days ?
@@wivesministries The Esther fast is a 3 day fast. No liquids or water for 3 complete days.
@@foreverrachel If no liquids what about eating
No it's a 36 hour fast without food and water

Do you drink water during your Esther fast ? Please respond. Thanks
No water. No food.
If you start Friday at 7pm you end Monday at 7
fri@7-sat@7 day 1
sat@7-sun@7 day 2
sun@7-mon@7 day 3
Eat at 7 on Monday.
If you love to eat that's bad it's against God's will it's gluttony so be careful
you didnt really say much about the fast
Can you chew gum?
I don’t think gum has any influence on your fasting. You will be fine.
@@klondik697 thank you!!
No please don’t chew gum. Gum contains sugar.
