4 Tips for HOW to Fast 

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.

I WAS THINKING ABOUT FASTING FOR THE FIRST TIME TOMORROW! I HAD A LOT OF DOUBTS BUT SUDDENLY THIS VIDEO WAS POSTED!! COINCIDENCE? I THINK NOT 🤩💓

Jesus fasted 40 days and 40 nights!!!! Thank You Jesus for all The sacrifice ❤🙌🏾

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...~

The Holy Spirit has been urging me to fast and I've been procrastinating and this video was a confirmation ❤

I am on Ten days fasting.... Pls uphold me in your prayers. 🙏

I'm a teenager and I love this video I'm a Christian teenager trying to improve my relationship with God❤❤❤thank you so much for this video

Whenever I'm fasting everyone suddenly gets very generous with their food😂 They always offer and I just say, "No thank you, I've eaten" Bc it's not a lie, I have eaten😂

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

Wow, God is always just on time. I literally woke up today and started fasting, and then I go on RU-vid and God shows me this😊

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.

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.

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. ❤

Dude when i was fasting my mom got the job she was looking for! God did!

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.

Fast isn't just starving to death, is to get closer to God, hear his voice and seek for him

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

I was fasting and I've been going thru a really rough time. And then this video pops up. God is amazing.

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.

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.” ✝️❤️‍🔥

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🇿🇦❤️.

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

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

Fasting is not simply about food, its about self-control and dignity towards God, its one of the 5 Pillars you have to raise in order for God to make you a House in Paradise so whenever you fast take control over sin by being holy. Never forget, God loves the pious and humble people with humility, like prophet Job

I never thought of fasting until I watched this video. I now feel closer to God more than I ever did before❤

This is a confirmation. I can do this with Jesus who gives me strength.

Fasted for three days drinking only water, I surely felt the holy spirit and my prayers were answered.

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

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!🙌🏾

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

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 ❤❤❤

So true, I have gotten so much closer to God while fasting. He has revealed Himself to me in ways that are indescribable. Amazing

Can someone pray for me? I really want to fasting for two days. The reason is my best friend. He doesn't believe in God and Jesus and I want to fasting because I want to trust Jesus in his steps, what he will do with conversations about God and that my best friend wants to know more about Jesus.I know I can’t control his opinions but I can pray for him. Can you please pray for me that I can do this fasting and that my best friend finds Jesus?

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 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'm trying fasting but I failed I ask God for help then I bumped into this video ❤

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!

Here is another important tip for those planning to do a prolonged fast (over 72 hours) I recently did my first serious fast, almost 100 hours which is close to being 4 days, and I felt great after the second day. Mental clarity and physically I had more energy. By the 3rd evening I wasnt even hungry anymore. When I started eating again, I decided to eat chicken. I cherished the meal since I hadn't eaten in so long and I got a head rush of ecstasy. But let me tell you... All night I was on that toilet asking God for mercy. Lol. I had to go about 4 times in total and every time it was explosive and painful. When you start eating again, DO NO EAT SOMETHING HEAVY. Eat something like vegetable soup for a day or two. Your stomach needs time to adjust.

I started a 3 day fast today! God bless 🙌 🙏 ❤️

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 😊

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.

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.

Thank you for this. Tomorrow will be my first fast....these instructions are very helpful. God Bless You!!!!🙏🏾❤️

I am muslim and it is Ramadan month month for us, I love that we have similarities. Christianity's concept around fasting is beautiful and very much interesting to me, thank you for your thorough and clear explanation 😊

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 RU-vid 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!

I was literally struggling with my fast today. I needed this 🙌🏾

This was an answer from God about a prayer I had prayed to Him about this New Year. The way God works and speaks to us! I had never come across this channel before and immediately had a reaction: "This is no coincidence, I'm being instructed about that prayer I prayed". Thank You Father, for constantly lighting our paths 🙏🏾❤️

I continue to hear fasting everywhere I go. But when I try I seriously fold, but your video helped me thank youuuu

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.

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 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

This is so very well illustrated!! Praise God for thos talent and the message!

I'm going through something right now with in my marriage I spoke to my pastor and the first thing that he said also was John I'm and your wife. But I'm also going to fast . I never understood the concept of fasting, but I am praying also. I have never understood it until now. 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😭

Great video! Thank you! 🙏

Thank you for this video!

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 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 😂

I needed this Thank you!🙏🏽🕊️💗

Thank you!

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.

Another tip for people feeling like they can’t endure the fast due to physical manifestations of hungry : Stop eating fast foods the week before your planned fast. This has helped alot in my body not craving food at those certain times of day. Also make sure your receiving enough magnesium daily before the fast as it’s something that gets depleted the quickest when your fast. So having some adequate stores helps mitigate some of the rough feelings throughout the fast.

Thanks for this! Super helpful!

Fasting showed me how unhealthy I was

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.

Thanks for making this Beautiful video! All glory to God!!🙌🏽❤

I love this!!!!

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.

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. ❤

Isaiah 58 is a great lesson on what proper fasting is about. Good video

THE LORD WANTS ME TO FAST! I have always had problems with fasting and when I tried one time before I felt serious spiritual attacks. Thank you for this video it has given me courage I know the Holy Spirit was working through you Amen 💚✨🙏🏼🙌🏼

I'm collectively fasting tomorrow with others in our worship team at church, eating a good dinner stew tonight before. Get on RU-vid to check the news out and here comes a fasting video on the head of my scrolling 😊🙌🏿 Glory to God on High

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

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS !!!❤

THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH!!!! I really needed this video ❤ thank you so so much

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.

About the not telling ppl I want to fast, it would be pretty hard, not bc I want to be proud of trying or smth but the problem is I'm still young and living with my mother and big brother and I get they want me to be healthy bc they know I had my struggling times... Which makes it too hard cause they want to make sure I'm healthy and eat normally and I actually want to get closer to God but yeah, I hope I manage to find my way, still thx for making this video, may the Lord bless you and all of His followers.

Thank you for this amazing advice ❤

Thank you so much for sharing this!

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 RU-vid and TikTok.

The Holy Spirit angrily drinking out of a soda in the thumbnail is adorable. Haha

Just wanna say thank you, I needed this clarity

Thanks for sharing. I so needed this video, very helpful ❤❤❤
