I am fasting with a friend for a breakthrough in my life. For God to bless me with a job to provide for me and my baby. I need to break these chains and gain my financial freedom. I will be a testament of the His goodness and His everlasting love!
I stumbled across fasting in early 2018 when I did this five-day water challenge of drinking a gallon of water a day for those five days - I was doing it for an autoimmune/energy issue in my life. By day five, I realized I had not eaten the whole time - I guess the water filled me up, and I'm not a "food motivated" person. I was so surprised when I had the realization that I had not eaten for five days, so I called it "my supernatural fast" - not really understanding what I meant by that or what would come of it - I'd never fasted before. But, wow! After that week, I began having dreams about the end times! I was stunned! VIVID real dreams. At the time, I had no idea we would or could possibly be living in the end times! But that's what God used to wake me up to, not only the time we are living in, but to the calling, He had on my life. He did this without me even knowing that's what was happening. Since then, I have developed a life where fasting has become a real part of my spiritual discipline. I fasted for my Aunt, who had terminal cancer (21 days!), because the first thing she said when she found out about her illness was that she did NOT want to hear about God. That really shook me. On her deathbed, with hospice, she looked AMAZING. Her hair was white as snow, he skin was porcelain looking, AND she had a vision of loved ones waiting for her in heaven! THAT IS the power of fasting. I still fast for many other reasons, like this, personal breakthroughs, having much more of the Holy Spirit controlling my life, and breaking off things that are not in line with God's word. The things that come from fasting are absolutely amazing. I will never know why we don't do that in the church. Up to that one week, I knew no one who fasted in the church. Now that I know the power of fasting and its vital role, I don't see myself living a life without it as a real part of my spiritual walk with Jesus!
Brother you said everything right there. I wonder why the church doesn’t teach it a lot more.
Starting fasting for spiritual growth today, thanks
Sometimes I feel emotionally empty that I eat too much.. I need financial, relationship breakthrough and peace in my life and family relationships. My family members are ignorant and toxic. And never listen
Me too I eat so much that it will make me feel more empty and eat more...
That’s why I like fast...
Fast and eat his word dosen’t make me empty it fill me up .
I totally understand!!
Me tooooo
I’m fasting for my mom.she has cancer and is really hurting. It’s break my heart seeing her suffer so bad.
How are you and your Mom keeping?
May God heal her.
@@Imogene_Joyce amen
I'm so sorry, may God heal your mom
how is she doing
Fasting is the BEST! I have done multiple 10 day water only fasts. Day 1 and 2 are tough but the rest are easy.
Go for 11days instead of 10
@@mahinhasan1903 what’s your reasoning here?
It's interesting that you mentioned that. I've done a few 40 day water fasts and I know this may sound crazy but I'm having difficulties fasting now
@@revivalfireworldministries5757 yeah same here cant make it passed more than 24 hours these days. Very interesting 🤔
Well keep me in your prayers. I plan on doing another extended fast soon
Fasting for a breakthrough from God would pertain to food and water only, as they are pertinent to life.
All other things you decide to break away from is called “releasing strongholds”
Thank you! That makes sense.
can you explain this more to me? im sorry. Im trying to learn, so i may begin fasting. I want to depend on God more.
I think you can fast and pray and stay on social media as long as its spiritual content you are watching. Like watching this video you became more encouraged.
When I fast I don’t go on social media, just RUclips and I only watch spiritual content 👍🏾
Fasting means abstaining from ALL PLEASURES OF lifenfor a certain time. You can't be on social media and be fasting, thats absurd! 🙄🙄
@@jeremiah7494he is not fasting to get an answer from you but from God, worry about your own walk with God.

Coffee during fasting? I drink it black
Hey I’m just a teen and I am growing up in a Christian home and have two wonderful parents but I feel like I don’t have God in my life at all. This really scares me as well because I really do believe in heaven and hell and where I would never headed without God, but I do not believe that God is in my life and that scares me so much. I just don’t know of anyone to talk to I really hope someone could give me advice or say something on this matter please.
Paul, I am 74 now but I grew up as the son of missionary parents and I know exactly how you feel. I am attaching a video which address your concerns in detail: ruclips.net/video/LHLfF3FL-rE/видео.html
Now here is some advice from me to you. Put this thought in the front of your mind; Jesus loves you more than any one else in the world. Jesus loves you so much that He came to this earth and died for you. I know you remember John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." "Believe" in this verse means much more than just an intellectual assent, like "I believe that there is a city called New York" In this verse "believe" means to not only acknowledge Jesus' existence but to place your complete trust in Him and intentionally go about building a personal relationship with Him.
The problem that a lot of kids from Christian families have is that they want to do things to prove that they are good and worthy Christians. That approach is never going to work and is just going to make you feel more unworthy - which in reality, you are. You already know that doing "works" will not work. I am sure you know Eph 2:8-9 "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith-and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God not by works, so that no one can boast." All the work required to save you from your sin has already been accomplished by Jesus. Your part is simply to thankfully accept what Jesus has done for you - and that is "belief."
By the way, if you have accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior, you can be confident that He is never going to let you go. You are going to make mistakes/sin but He is always going to be there. Your part is to confess your sin, repent of your sin and get back in fellowship with Him. A relationship consists of listening (reading the Word of God) and talking (praying to God). When you read and when you pray; LISTEN because the Holy Spirit, is going to be speaking to you in those quiet times.
One last thing to remember: Christians tend to want to FEEL good about being a Christian. Unfortunately, feelings are not reliable. Your salvation is based on Jesus' work on the cross. He did the work on the cross and that work will not be undone. Your salvation does not rely on feelings but on facts.
@@pursuegodvideo thank you so much
Praise God I really need prayer pls i need a spiritual mother and father, I going through hard times some time I feel like killing my self and my kids
@@paulbennett1068 repent, submit to God accept Jesus as your Lord and saviour, soak in His word believe it with all your heart (read bible pray always
May God bless you and keep you
Can you do a liquid-only fast? Or does it just have to be only water
Purest might want to argue with me, but I believe if you choose to do a liquid-only fast with the proper heart that is ok.
Can you fast with a little bit of Juice too, bc my blood sugars go weird when i have fasted
Yes, of course. There is no hard fast (no pun intended) rule on fasting and exactly how or the length of time.
@@pursuegodvideo Thanks,Does it work as good as water fast to strenghten faith and to achieve spiritual breakthrough :)
Can I drink lemon juice, saline during water fast
You may not
Not at all!
No
Good morning when someone is tormented by spiritual wife how long does one need to fast
What do you mean tormented by spiritual wife?
What Bible do you read?
I personally like the New King James version but there are many good translations.
I want a relationship with God but I feel like I commited the unforgivable sin I've been in this torement for years and it doesn't go away
Blake, your concern is a familiar one and many Christians share your angst. Let's take a look at the unpardonable sin: (gotquestions provided this excellent summary) The unpardonable/unforgivable sin or “blasphemy of the Holy Spirit” is mentioned in Mark 3:22-30 and Matthew 12:22-32. Jesus said, “Truly I tell you, people can be forgiven all their sins and every slander they utter” (Mark 3:28), but then He gives one exception: “Whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; they are guilty of an eternal sin” (verse 29).
Remember that this was said of Jewish religious leaders who knew well the prophecies of the Messiah and there He (Jesus) was standing right in front of them, performing miracle after miracle yet they refused to believe. It is the Holy Spirit Who drew those religious leaders as well as us toward God and without the Holy Spirit none of us would ever desire a relationship with God. So if either those religious leaders or us refuse to acknowledge our need of a Savior and turn to the only one who can save, Jesus, then they or we are without hope - their sins are unpardonable because they have refused the witness of the Holy Spirit drawing them to the Savior.
The fact that you are concerned about this tells me that you have not committed this sin. However, your concern also tells me that you have taken the job of securing your salvation on yourself and that is never going to work. I know because I have been there. You or I will never be able to secure our own salvation but Jesus can and does. When you gave yourself to Him, He took over and He will NEVER loose you. You are in His hands - relax and experience the joy and security that Jesus offers. I think that this clip from gotquestions.com will be helpful.

Our God forgives sin. He will not despise a broken and contrite heart. Psalm 51:17
If you've committed the unforgivable sin, you won't even be repentant or care about it. Don't worry, if you have already repented to God, He has already forgiven you. I was also in this torment until God spoke to me about it.
The blood of Jesus is one of the greatest weapon. Use it as you pray with faith and it will be well. Our God is merciful. Don't be so hard on yourself.
Please start fasting and pour out your heat to God..it will be totally destroy the house in out heart for unforgivness!!!
Please pray for me and my.wife to reconcile. Nothing is impossible. I started fasting and started seeing God's hand move through my situation. Please pray for me, Charlie and my wife Melanie to reconcile. She put a restraining order on me and my daughter for personal reasons due to her having a bipolar episode. And now she is just loosing it.listening to her toxic family member. Please pray for my wife and me to reconcile and come home to me with my dsughter and to drop all.court processes. I love u Jesus!

This type of unbelief only goes out by prayer and fasting not this type of demon. Remember he rebuked the disciples for their unbelief.
1:15 he is having a siezure.
The supernatural world, meaning the unseen world is more real than our seen world.
...sex fast...out with bad habits...in with good ones!
Not focusing on God while choosing to go without food is still considered fasting.
You added “in order to focus on God”. There are atheists who fast for health reasons. Just sayin
