@@vivianadu8092 GODS WAY IS THE RIGHT WAY ,IF YOU GONNA FAST FOR THE FIRST TIME ASK GOD AND TELL HIM HOW YOU FEEL YOU DONT HAVE TO FAST FROM 6 TO 6 BUT MAKE SURE YOUR TIME IS TO CONNECT WITH GOD FOR A SPECIFIC THING ( WHATEVER YOU WISH FOR ) OR TO SOLVE A PROBLEM ) YOU CAN BE FASTING FROM 6 TO 2 O CLOCK OR 3 O CLOCK AND IF YOU FAST FROM 6 TO 6 YOU CAN PRAY AND ASK GOD IF YOU CAN DRINK WATER DURING YOUR FAST
It is good to first ask God for the grace and strength to fast. Then, talk to Him as you go on, appreciating the grace as led. It is not by imitation of human standards.
I was just in a 10 day corporate fast. My second fast I’ve ever been a part of. The first fast I lasted about 5 days skipping a meal. This time I went 4 days without eating. I am already skin and bones. I was beating myself up because I knew I needed to eat something, but didn’t want to disappoint God. He reminded me that he isn’t disappointed, but proud that I am giving it my best. He also answered several prayers along this 4 day prayer/fast. God is good, and doesn’t want you to hurt yourself. I realized that a fast is between God and you. I was trying to be self-righteous by hanging on as long as possible.
I understand you, I've been through this all my life of salvation, today i can feel my kidneys are strained, i had to force myself to hear the Holy Spirit saying don't fast this year, i tried to fast may june but couldn't there was no encouragement from the Holy Spirit; secondly i prayed going sleepless nights hours, sleeping 2 to 3 hours working for 12hrs and praying the rest of remaining hours until my neck couldn't handle my heard, with a headache right through the year, i ended with depression, after sometime God healed me from it i then knew that this body is not all supernatural, i need to respect it.
Meanwhile prayer can occur anywhere. The two hours you drive to and from work (4hours) is enough. Then you do 2 hours before you go to bed so you can receieve dreams from God and sleep well. Neveer do dry fasting. For longer than 3 days. White fasting is okay.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I'm sorry please, I couldn't hold my laugh. But honestly I really laugh hard.😂😂😂 May God gives us more grace to depend on the Holy Spirit in totality.
Fasting and prayer doesn't get anyone close to God nor does it make men more powerful. But they are a means by which we believers can grow. We pray to build intimacy with God(communion), and we fast to subject the flesh that our spirits may find more expressions in us and through us easily. It is from that stance that we can build good and healthy routines to help us get the results we seek. The problem is many believers think God doesn't care or hear them unless they kill themselves. We are so much taught to be servants to to God that we forget that we are also his sons and daughters and as such have unlimited access to his abode. And so the end is, people will depend on works to please God and not faith in Jesus christ.
Whatever that makes you grow spiritually, can get you closer to God ( ie building a good relationship with God) And also make you powerful. So let's not twist what the man of God said.
@@traderkenn191 Thank you for this comment it really opened my mind, heart, eyes to a problem I had. God bless you. I am thankful for Him having me see this.
🤯WOW WOW AND WOW AGAIN🤯 SO SO SO TRUE SIR. PROPHET MAN OF GOD! And I am working on asking God after all I've been through and where me and my children are now God oh God show us which way to go and what to do that we may "NEVER OVER-STRETCH OURSELVES" and be destroyed! Man Of God you just do not know how powerful and very very important this "WORD" is! For we as believer's has to trust and ask Father God what are you saying "only" that I may not over work my self and You God alone may get the glory at the end of each and everyday of my life! Thank you so much Man Of God for allowing the Holy Spirit to operate in and through your life: AMEN! I pray all is spelled pronounced and understood for I cannot go back and correct🤯
GOD BLESS you Pastor Micheal Orokpo in every way greatly, now and in time to come Spiritually, Physically, Ministerially, Maritally, Financially, Academically, and more even as you age Gracefully, IN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST, now and in time to come forevermore, IN JESUS NAME, AMEN
Apostle is right. Before getting into it find out if God's spirit is backing up your fasting or prayer. If connected to God well, the spirit of God must direct you when to start and stop. If you find yourself going on and on and on but no msg is being received related to the action stop and ask if you're doing it right. Learn from deeply spiritual brethren too for more. That's why Jesus encouraged disciples to always come together to share experiences before embarking to doing His job blindly. Wisdom matters
Misunderstanding breeds misappropriation A couple of times I felt I was getting weak spiritually and heard God minister to my spirit to fast for a specific number of days. 1 major reason why people would misappropriate this mystery is cause of testimonies of encounters others had doing this; blind copying. There's a need to be led and remember God is Lord of all. He doesn't love you because you outdid yourself loving him. I would advise seeking Him concerning the situation, meditate and be led by His spirit
One thing about me i cant fast without God telling me. If i try doing it on my own i always fail. So whenever i want to fast i start asking him one week before the time then he'll speak
This is good 🙏🏾 it’s okay for us to take breaks from fasting most ppl who are fasting for long time just want to impress man and then use it to make it seem like they’re better than someone when we fast it’s supposed to be done in secret never to be said all over the web that’s where also a lot of people mess up at just keep it between you and God it does bring you into humility but God doesn’t need us to die before it’s our time just to prove a point
Philippians 2:12 Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; I believe we are supposed to work out our salvation, but I think you mean we are justified by Faith rather than works
That's why Apostle Joshua Selman will say it's not all about fasting and praying. But the heart condition. Have you died to the flesh. Because they made us believe that if you don't fast especially and pray, you won't be spiritual. Or there are heights you can't ascend in the spirit. So people carry fast and prayer as a burden. If God draws you to fast for 40 days and nights.... He will provide grace and strength for it. Moses fasted that long....we forgot that it was God that called him up there....while the cloud covered him. Jesus did the same....and we forgot it was the spirit that led him into that fast.
Please sir/ma, read the scripture properly, this kind (Jesus was not talking about the demon or sickness, but the unbelieve that did not allow them cast out the demon) goeth not out but by prayer and fasting. Our prayer and fasting do not cast out demons but our faith (the absence of unbelieve)
Know who you follow it will help you Make sure you gain total knowledge about an activity in the spirit before you embark Things bout the spirit the Bible CONFIRMED TO be MYSTERIES
God does not have to tell you to fast, don't just take it to the extreme. Don't compare yourself with those that their family are born again for a long time to your own background that the witches are flying in the day in the family. I am telling you from experience because without fasting and prayer, there are realm you can't get to and you have to depend on pastors.
I needed to hear this. I have been fasting and praying for a while, and I was just always feeling like I was not enough, so sometimes I am not even happy after 1hr prayer. I just hope I get God's direction before I pursue more than God wants me to.
You gotta feel it with your heart and mind, sheesh even your soul praying to God. He loves you and is always listening just know that. Just know that the Devil also exists and will do anything for you to steer clear from God. But just be patient put all your worry, all your anxiety and all your problems on him and trust in him and believe and he will deliver you from whatever you’re going through. I was in your shoes once and wanted to give up but now I have faith and trust in him more than ever . May God bless you!

@@luthandothwani173When you get depressed during and after fasting , many times, unclean spirits come forth durkng the night and plant the spirit of depression to misguide you ilfrom faith , i felth this way myself ,but when i found out it was a spirit, i vasted it away in Jesus mighty name and the miracle happened it got found out , i also recite psalm 51 especially the passage that stated ,give me the joy of salvation and a willing spirit to sustain me , i tell you the devil is a liar , i engage in night vigils when i fast,because of the terror of the night ,they come at night as in psalm 91
He once encouraged people to pray for 17 hrs or so in one do the sermon. I think the choice of word he used In trying to appropriate a balance Is just too discouraging. How can prayer and fasting destroy
Say it louder MOG. Most churches have turned fasting to religion routine. Fasting does not change God, it rather helps your unbelief. So you are the problem, not God. Understanding the living in the truth makes you do less of fasting exercise.
This man is deliberately misleading with the purpose of discouraging those who want to pursue God. I have been fasting through out my walk with God and the benefits are awesome. I grew spiritually and my relationship with God got closer and I was able to hear God. Since this revelation came into me I made it my way of life. He said many people were destroyed. That’s not true. I know people who fasted even more than Jesus. A man called Yun in china faster 78 days until God came to open a prison for him China. Fasting also has some health benefits. My wife used to suffer migraines until she started fasting and her problem was solved.
@@iregbeyenvictory6040 no. But fasting is a spiritual exercise and one get empowered during fasting. This information have potential to discourage the one who want to pursue God through fasting. It can also create fear.therefore it doesn’t edify.
You fast when you want to pray for others or a certain reason or to get closer to God and revival? How do you fast either without food and water 3 days and after only water or a straight water fast only! Fasting is like exercising you must get your body accustomed to it! These are the real only true Biblical fast! I start at midnite till midnite! God bleesses me this way? I call my devil killing fast from midnite till 4pm then midnite again and again! Seek the Holy Spirit for guidance for direction He will show you Amen
