Fasting can be a valuable experience in the Christian life. But I have bumped into a number of believers who have became obsessive compulsive about the practice of fasting. Here are some thoughts and feedback on the issue and how to navigate it in a more healthy way.

Three years ago, I heard you talk about a negativity fast. So I practiced it. Hardest thing I have ever done in my life. Today this is my favorite fast. Perfectionism fast, OCD fast. It's a journey.

Makes sense to me, I used to have anorexia but now when I try to fast I end up binge eating. This made afraid of committing the sin of gluttony, which made me want to fast more, under the pretence of ‘spiritual reasons’ ; but when I took a step back, I realised it was just another part of my bulimic compulsions.

This makes sense to me Thank you. I free me up from the Burdens placed on my by Church Leadership. They would tell me it was my own fault that I was not receiving or stuck in spiritual battles. They told me I was not Fasting and Praying enough.

Hallelujah. 😮 WOW! Found this on my RU-vid feed an hour ago. This really spoke to my past and my present. Thank you Mark. Can you do anymore videos on eating disorders. Definitely a word from God. Yay me!!!!

It would be amazing to hear your thoughts on food and eating disorders

Feel like this happens when Christ is holding onto you spiritually but we haven’t yet developed the maturity to walk in the freedom He provides through His love and compassion.

Wow! I felt like this video is right on time for me and what I'm currently struggling with, The Lord did call me to fast abput a year ago to restore relationship with Him after backsliding for years and I've also been doing lots of spiritual warfare but I just get so burnt out quickly. I recently developed a disorder with food which is gluttony and binge eating and I think even body dsymorphia. My stomach feels like a bottomless pit and I'm constantly hungry and never end up eating nutritious foods for myself, only junk food that my mom buys. I just feel so much pressure on me to fast and I feel extremely bad when I don't fast and when I do interminent fasting I feel guilty that I think about my health and weight loss instead of focusing on the spirit because I am overweight and it just makes me feel like my fast is immediately canceled and that God is not accepting it anymore. I was planning to join a 40 day coporate fast online with a wonderful minister it starts in July so perhaps I can focus on cleaning up my health and diet through juicing and smoothies like Mark described and then check to see if the Lord would still want me joining. I really do feel like this video was for me and very on time, Im constantly fasting 24/7 and I'm just tired.

ok, wow. My church is having a fast today, and then I see that that posted. I've been dreading it for months! I think this will help me. :)

@antonego7950 Год назад

Mark, thank you for sharing your fasting journey openly with us. I related to numerous things you said, especially when you talked about observing the fruit of our fasting. Say, would you be able to talk about tithing? This is one Christian practice that I struggle with in my heart and mind. I want to be obedient to God, but I do not want to feel used, by both God and the church. I hope that makes sense. Thank you for your bondage-breaking teachings!
