Ive been fasting consistently for 10 years, many times a year at least few days til now at least 3 days currently on a 21 day fast. All that said. It has completely revolutionised my life in every area. I HIGHLY RECOMMENDED it. Im living in the Blessings! Most of all Jesus said when you fast... so that means we SHOULD ALL BE FASTING!
I’ve also been freed from lustful thoughts through the power of Christ through fasting! My flesh found out my spirit (eternal) is in charge and not my flesh (perishing).
@@darrellwilliams9699 Amen brother! I still take the thoughts captive but I have not lost the battle against temptation in that arena glory to God. Praying He leads me to the right woman 🙏🏾
Brother, God is FAITHFUL! Just like He is LOVE, He is FAITHFUL! Be direct in prayer and let the Father know what you’re desires are in a wife, but make the spiritual the priority! I prayed for something about three weeks ago and he has me constantly had me praising him for how he made my heart smile with the answer. He did exceeding abundantly above what I asked or thought, but I made His priority my priority and I didn’t have to settle for less 😂🎉
You can start with minutes,train yourself to stay away from food 30after you mealtime and increase it from there till you reach an hour,to hours .. little progress is still progress dear😊 heaven help you as you try
I fast occasionally, and it blesses and benefits many things, but it does take discipline. I usually have to mentally prepare myself before start a fast. I’m a food connoisseur and enjoy experimental dining as well, so it’s always hard but definitely worth it.
Try 30 mins/ an hour/ then a few hours You’ll feel so good spiritually and your building up spiritual muscle Then next thing you know you’ll be going 8 hours a day then a few days❤❤❤❤❤❤
I've stopped a 3 day fast today, then this video popped up, maybe I stopped fasting too soon? But I know God is speaking to me through you! God bless you! 🌟
Hey friend, i understand why you would feel that way but it may also just be that you needed to hear something to help you fast more effectively next time. 3 days is good and powerful when done right so don't feel bad either way! We're all in a learning as we on this journey . God bless you
@@AbideInHim I tend to lose focus when I am fasting.I get tempted to eat and times give in..or take two or three spoons of my daughters food while I feed her.How do you overcome the flesh ..realistically when your repairing your relationship with food and addictions?
Hi sis I understand, and that's exactly one of the reasons to even fast. To build that discipline, so when you're fasting and tempted pray for strength and encourage yourself mentally not to. It's VERY possible. Because you need to overcome the flesh and not let it rule you
I envy the Man who'll Marry this girl, not for her beauty but for her knowledge and commitment to Christ., That man shall never be worried in this life., he certainly will be the happiest, It is mine desire to see you prosper in all things sis, WORDS can't explain how helpful you are to the genuine Christians.., You's not just a normal girl and I can't even tell what kind of girl thou art.., Whoever that man shall be, I pray he be the most Spiritual, the most wise and most Holy of all., Thou deserve a beautiful, godly and Holy family.., YOU MUST TRIUMPH IN THIS RACE TO OUR FATHER'S KINGDOM🙏
hey girl thats interesting, i think this is a thing God is highlighting to you there may be a soul tie that needs to be addressed so don't ignore it. Watch this perhaps: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-aPb165dZbHk.htmlsi=KN1siuTyWJ-d4cY6
Galatians 5:19-21. 19 Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, 20 idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, 21 envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, THAT THOSE WHO PRACTICE SUCH THINGS WILL NOT INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD. Ephesians 5:1-7. Therefore be imitators of God as dear children. 2 And walk in love, as Christ also has loved us and given Himself for us, an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smelling aroma. 3 But fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as is fitting for saints; 4 neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks. 5 For this you know, that no fornicator, unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, HAS ANY INHERITANCE IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD AND CHRIST. 6 Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience. 7 Therefore do not be partakers with them. 1 Corinthians 6:9-10. 9 Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? DO NOT BE DECEIVED. NEITHER fornicators, NOR idolaters, NOR adulterers, NOR homosexuals, NOR sodomites, 10 NOR thieves, NOR covetous, NOR drunkards, NOR revilers, NOR extortioners WILL INHERIT THE KINGDOM OF GOD Revelation 21:7-8. 7 He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son. 8 But the cowardly, unbelieving, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars SHALL HAVE THEIR PART IN THE LAKE WHICH BURNS WITH FIRE AND BRIMESTONE, which is the second death.” Matthew 7:21-23. 21 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to Me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonders in Your name?’ 23 And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME YOU WHO WOEK LAWLESSNESS/INIQUITY/SIN.
How do you know how long you are supposed to fast? I have tried it many times and I always fail. I get extremely angry when I'm hungry and I can't stand the feeling of hunger so I always give in....
I’ve tried to do a food fast sometimes, there are times I am able to do it well, but there are times it leaves me in pain, but I also wanted to fast over the condition I have aswell. But sometimes it is difficult, i tired to fast other things in my life but I’m wondering if it has the same effect as doing a food fast. I know it’s about denying our flesh but it seems like the food fast is one everyone is doing and it starts to feel like I’m not doing it right, and I don’t want to go through life not able to fast till 6. What should I do?
Hi I understand sorry to hear that. But yes there are ways around such a thing for example a Daniel fast or fasting in a way where at 12 you eat something light (I the middle of the fast) and then break at 3 or 6 and eat properly. Whats important is what you do during those hours the flesh is being denied what its craving for
Question: when fasting is it best to go the whole day or days without food or cut out food for sun up to to sun down ? I’ve fasted before but I always ate at sundown
Hi yes sometimes I do, depending on what God is leading me to focus on in that season also. It may be a particular book of the bible or it may be a particular theme / topic / something struggling with / whatever I need more revelation in.... In order to grow. It's really key to go into fasting with a focus in mind❤️🔥. And it's a powerful journey really because imagine addressing one thing at a time in prayers and study during each fasting..... Where we would be by the year end?
Should a fast be a dry fast? Meaning no food or water. A liquid fast meaning only water maybe tea. Or should it be from sun up to sun down and you can eat in the evening? Just curious how everyone fasts.
Hi it can either be a dry fast or with water only. And yes some people sometimes may do 6-6pm or 6-3pm and eat after. What matters is the quality of what you do in that time of denying your flesh - feed your spirit
@@AbideInHim It would seem more people concentrate more on fasting as denying themselves food and drinks only. If I heard you well, you did mention also denying yourself things like social media (cellphone and or TV etc) . Some do say that a person should also deny herself or himself lustful activities like sex during fasting. Please clarify.
@@raranerakoma1993 hi yes PRIMARILY it is done by turning down the plate. But yes when you also add a social media fast to it, what that's doing is removing the extra distraction or time you could have spent with the Lord.
@@raranerakoma1993 and yes if one isn't married sex shouldn't be in the picture anyway. But if that's something they want to stop doing or break free form then yes fasting is definitely part of a way to + prayer. For married couples Paul said. It as a recommendation not a law that they abstain for a time together during the fasting. 1 Corinthians 7:5
hii I'm new to this can you tell me more about this? fasting is not only for food but also from things that distracts you from God right? for example for food I'm i only allowed to drink water or i can eat certain foods?
Hi yes fasting is about denying the flesh what it loves, pleasures so it is primarily food and then other things that cause actual distractions like social media etc. And what you do in that time is what matters, the quality, the time you would have eaten - you pray and feast on the word. Yes you can either do a dry fast or with water alone. That's the biblical way of fasting. Hope this helps and this video I made 2 years on the why, how's and when may help 🙏 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-M0Ch_a7l-jA.htmlsi=fH-ATolatGqDJyUc
Hmm i understand but its still very possible to fast in such a case, you may not go 30 days dry without food haha but its still possible. A key difference is not fasting in the flesh but REALLY relying on God for grace, help and strength. Theres times I've fasted i thought i was gonna faint from hunger but i realised its also a mental thing and after asking God for help i actively made up my mind to stay focused and keep busy with other things. Fasting can also be done with water alone or even on a weekend additionally, If you have any health conditions or concerns about fasting while working a strenuous job then that's a whole other thing and where wisdom comes in, one would then need to consult a doctor or intermittent fasting i see some people do. Hope this helps!
Hi sis I think intermittent fasting that's for health or weight related stuff is it? But typically or biblically fasting is denying yourself food from morning to whatever time God leads so for example 6-3pm or 6-6pm or 3 days dry etc there's variety but it's as the Lord leads you ❤️🔥
@@AbideInHim Hello sis! Love the video! I think the actual term “Intermittent Fasting” is weight loss related and health. Last year when I was fasting between those time frames I was not focused on the weight loss aspect, but more focused on fasting for breakthrough, and better communication with God, and spending more time with God, and hearing him, and consecrating myself… I grabbed a hold of the time schedule for the fast, to use to get closer to God. If it makes sense idk…I didn’t care to lose weight my heart was solely focused and purposed for God. Your video was very informative, and it just made me wonder if I should try this way again, instead of the Daniel fast.
