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.

When I fast, I personally chose to cut out the socials, secular music, napping, cussing, watching movies and shows and replace these things with holy activities like reading something educational or the bible. I also replace those movies and shows with movies and shows are about bible related. I go outside to enjoy the creation of God, maybe a picnic or a walk or a workout, the videos I watch for entertainment are biblical cartoons on KZbin . I feel like it brings you even closer to God. These things that I cut out are big distractions. You also start to feel more grateful for everything God has done for us. You feel relief and stress free. I definitely recommend. God bless all of you, I love you and I pray all is well.

This is so beautiful. Now, remember to read the scriptures while you fast, Okay? Read a lot of it. That way, the bonds of wickedness like: a lack of self control, gluttony will be broken off your life. Minus the abstinence from good, the reason fasting seems hard is because people are idle during their periods of fast. I enjoyed fasting when I learnt that I could read a lot of my Bible, read a Christian book (like a Kenneth Haggin's book, etc,) listen to a message (like one from Ita Udoh's channel), etc So try these out while praying that the different bonds of wickedness be broken off you
@francadiadorapranovi3 ай бұрын
@@beatricebenibo9807 The way you wrote, "the bonds of wickedness like: a lack of self control" is exactly the words I have been looking for. Thank you! When I have fasted in the past it was not intentional. Grief strikes us all differently and for me the world ends. I can't eat. I can't sleep and my mind constantly implores for God's help. All the things we are meant to do to fast. Not telling anyone, speaking and praying to God, having a purpose and abstaining from food come naturally out of despair. So although the time is horrible for me the miracles do come as the natural law of fasting works. SO to fast when I'm not in despair is so difficult that step 1 of even finding the purpose, why? is hard to establish. So what's my point? Beatrice your words, "the wickedness of lack of self control" is my number 1 issue and you've helped me find my ultimate purpose for number 1. Thank you. God Bless.

You know what triggers me about fasting? The fact that you english-speakers call it "fast", when "fasting" is a modern term describing a diet of fast weight los. You should have a word specifically for the religious fast, like we all do. Maybe you can borrow the greek term.

@mihaifloares2503 Жыл бұрын
Im orthodox and fasting is totally different in our tradition. You see, fasting is for 40 days, bacause Jesus fasted for 40 in the desert. Now, no modern human being can live 40 days without food, so our fast is founded on the tradition of not eating anything that comes from an animal like meat, milk or eggs. Also in the original tradition any kind of oil, including vegetable oil or olive oil is excluded. Also alcohol is excluded. So, for 40 days you can eat just boiled vegetables and bread. In orthodox tradition it is often said that food is just a little piece of the fasting. You should refrain from any kind of earthly pleasure, so in the fast period, which we are rn until Christmas, you should not experience sexual prealures if you decided to fast, nor you should party. Also very importnt in fasting is to not argue. An orthodox bishop once said: "It is useless the fact that you don't eat the flesh of animals, if you eat the flesh of humans". Also in fasting you should be more kind and have more mercy. We also have the idea of "black fasting", where you can't eat anything, just water and some practice it especially in monastery.

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.

Hello... Please let me point out some things. The aim of fasting is not to go hungry but to seek God's face. It's good to fast on a day when. You are quite free from secular work, or even if you have secular work, you can cut out some hours to spend with God. Fasting helps to break the bonds of wickedness in our lives. Do read Isaiah 58 and Zechariah 7 for more understanding. During fasting periods, we learn the ways of God. Please do not only go hungry without actively reading your Bible, or listening to a message, or listening to an audio recording about Jesus during a fast season. Please reach out to me if you want more understanding. Thank you

@@SilverStarFourtake it slow. You can try fasting in the mornings (skip) breakfast or even skipping things like lunch or dinner (your preference). But start with something like this until you build the strength to go days on end. When you feel hungry turn to the word and talk to God. All He wants is His children to rely on Him. So, find your purpose and find a scripture that matches your purpose and go from there. But remember what you are doing for the LORD shouldn't "hurt" or "painful". Drink plenty of water and ask the Holy Spirit for the purpose of fasting if you're unsure. But be kind to yourself and don't overthink it. God got you but first YOU have to make your mind up.

I have just completed my first 6 hour fast ever. I wanted to fast because I felt distant from God. But listen to me…. During my fast, the major problems I was dealing with (one is my low patience with people) were completely gone. I was even going to Fry’s and I saw a homeless person near the entrance and I instantly thought I should give the man water and food, so I did. The way I felt during the fast not only helped me but also helped others. Before I even fasted I wasn’t expecting much to happen, but that completely changed during the 2 hour mark. I was almost like a completely different person but in a “good” way. All I can say is trust the Lord and when you don’t know. Say to yourself “I trust the Lord.”

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🇿🇦❤️.

When Jesus said to not tell others to fast it was specifically to not boast, as fasting is a way to draw near to God and to draw near to God is to humble yourself. I tell my boyfriend so he doesn’t worry for my health if I fast, and try to get me to eat something, and I tell my mom if she worries or I feel like I have to. You telling your household, just so they are aware and can accommodate for the fast and not worry, is the right thing to do in my opinion. God Bless You ❤️

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 am a breastfeeding mom of three. I wanted to do a water fast for 5 days, by which I meant only to drink water with electrolytes, and tea (no sugar or honey in the morning and evening). I was able to get through a full 24 hours before I needed to allow myself some bread (sourdough). I came down with a cold and was unable to continue on the original fast I wanted to do. I am reminding myself that I am giving so much of my nutrients to my son and now with being sick on top of that, I am giving myself grace (from God). At first I was disappointed in myself and felt guilty and ashamed because I felt like I was breaking a promise to God. But God has met me where I am and does not frown upon me. I have decided to not abstain completely from all food, but will abstain from sugar, processed food, and animal products for 3 weeks. Don't be so hard on yourselves!

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.

The main thing in fasting is not prayer though...it's hearing God speak... and that will mean reading your Bible or studying. Remember you are waiting on God, and you are waiting on Him to hear him speak, not you coming to talk...... Prayer is you talking, Studying and reading is you listening. Ecclesiastes 5:1 Guard your steps when you go to the house of God. Go near to listen rather than to offer the sacrifice of fools, who do not know that they do wrong. Ecclesiastes 5:2 Do not be quick with your mouth, do not be hasty in your heart to utter anything before God. God is in heaven and you are on earth, so let your words be few. The reason why you decide to fast is not to come talking, but listening to hear what God will say. Prayer only comes when you have heard him speak....it's your response to the things he said.😊 I hope you understand? And since you have a work life... just set some hours daily aside and be in his face hearing from him..that is fasting.

But yes, people should realize that prayer in fasting is not about getting what you want but a humble conversation, making space for Gods voice to come through. The Bible shows us that prayer is what we do when we fast, but how we pray is important. It should involve our awareness of scripture because then we know who we are talking to and how to respond- this helps us not pray blindly

I’m being led to fast 40 days and 40 nights like Jesus did.. longest fast I’ve done is 21 days and did that twice. I really need to die to my flesh and come alive more in the spirit. I rely on food for comfort and want to be rid of idols. God showed me in a dream I was in a room with unclean spirits and I was praying them away and they wouldn’t go. Jesus reminded me that some don’t go without prayer AND FASTING. And immediately I knew what I had to do. My parents go away for 2 months in September, this is when I will do my 40 days, without distraction from my time with God. I will still work at my job just cut down my hours to really pray, read scripture and other spiritual material. My spirit man has been craving this for a couple years now. And after I would like to implement short and more frequent fasts.

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.

Hmm, great video.../.02 -- I think in the most literal sense, the uses of tsum (Heb) or nesteia (Grk), fasting is abstaining from food, and sometimes specifically a 'dry fast' mentioned with food and drink being given up for a time. I do wonder about "dry fasting" in the context of several fasts declared in the Hebrew Bible -- i.e. "dry fasting" vs. just abstaining from food in some circumstances -- sometimes this is directly mentioned in context of the fast declaration ('neither food nor drink', etc.), which makes it easy, but other times, that part of the fast declaration is not made apparent. I'd tend to agree from a linguistic perspective about "abstaining" or "sacrificing" something as you mention vs. "fasting", but I do want to give credit to God for His grace that I've seen during intentional dedicated times of giving X up as being extremely nourishing spiritually, as well as both Y fast w/o food and Z fast w/o food or drink ("dry fast") to be an amazing gift and spiritual discipline from the LORD -- the big things were dedicating the matter to the LORD, asking Him specifically for both time to get closer and more intimate with Him as well as any matter of direction or discernment, as well as obedience in carrying it all out. And He NEVER lets His portion lack! I also find it fascinating that the most common Hebrew term 'tsum' first occurs in Judges 20 -- though there were definite examples in the Torah of various forms of abstaining from food, work, or even sex (Exodus 19) for a time -- and we have Yom Kippur in Leviticus 16 and Numbers 29, where traditionally, 'anah' (afflict yourself/humble yourself) has traditionally transferred to be a command to be a fast. Obvious major fasts are present, with or without 'tsum' or 'nesteia', e.g. Exodus 34:28 w/ Moses; Matthew 4/Luke 4 w/ Jesus; Saul/Paul in Acts 9 w/ the Ananias laying-hands-on event -- how cool it would be to be Ananias!; other community fasts for events like in Esther 4:16, Jehoshaphat's call to a fast in 2 Chronicles 20:3, even in Jonah 3 where the King of Nineveh calls for a fast!. I've seen commentary over the years here and there about either [food & drink] or [drink] being allowable after sundown -- I need to dig more on this part, but it's tough, because I know God has given abundant grace with either that I've committed to Him. Even if Daniel's 'mourning' and dedicated diet-limiting in Daniel 10 is taken as a separate category, we go back a chapter to a definite fast in Chapter 9. I would throw in that Isaiah 58 has a lot of great substance about what type of fast the LORD wants -- motives are of utmost importance! Anyway...Lord willing, I'll make a video about this at some point on my ministry channel -- this is FASTenating to me (lol). Good coverage -- not trying to sound critical by any means here. It's just such a deep topic with so much richness and history. ♥

@@poco12331 Hello! Aww, don't be sad. You know why ? Because God Is so Amazing, He knows your very heart and desires. You're blessed just because of that. You want a closer relationship with The Lord! He sees and He knows! I would suggest starting off slow. Don't try to fast for 40 days, like Jesus! LOL Start with a few hours and gradually, over time, do more. You can follow the Biblical example if fasting, in regard to, what to obtain from. From what I know, you obstain from or stop consuming any food, beverage, of course defiling your body with fornication, smoking or drinking are all forbidden. Fasting includes, praying, repenting or a focus on God, His Word and the focus of becoming closer with The Lord. You may also include something you are paying for God to do in your life. It may be for God to cast ceratin things out of your life, purification from evil spirits from someone. Maybe asking God, for healing or A Mighty move in your life or another expectation from God. Fasting is, denying the body, on order to enrich the your soul and Holy Spirit. In the Bible, when Esther fasted, she called upon The Lord and asked for His help. Sh even asked her maidens and the Jews to fast with her. She fasted for three days to experience God's power, mercy and grace. Daniel fasted in order to receive guidance from God. Nehemiah fasted before beginning a major building project. Jesus fasted during his victory over temptation. So, I don't think there's a limitation on what to fast for. I'm no expert either. I would also suggest, reading Biblcal accounts of fasting and pattern your next fast after those. 📖 Maybe start with the way Yeshua(Jesus) fasted, but not the same length of time. You can also do research on line. Please be careful, listen to The Holy Spirit, listen to your body and only do what you know you're capable of. Because you do not want unwise decisions about your health and wellness. God understands. Above all, seek Him. God hears you. Hope this helps. God bless🙌🏽💌

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.

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.

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😂

Technically yes but most people would assume you have eaten that day. It may be best to say something along the lines of "i'm not eating right now"

Thanks for the share! 😊 As a prayer woman, I've been fasting and praying a few days a week for years now, and I can't do without it, as it keeps me closer to Abba Father and spiritual awake etc. Now and then I fast for one or two weeks, but I always have three days of preparation before and after, when I only eat vegetables, fruits and yogurt, to prepare my body for a longer fast, bedside drinking enough water etc. During a longer fast, I have a light form for exercise daily, and drink enough water etc ( to keep the system nicely), and I myself prefer to drink water, milk, green tea 🍵 etc during a longer fast, and I also take Omega 3. If one have a blender, one can make smoothies and milkshake etc. I'm over 56, and twice I've fasted for three days without any food or drink, because we were in a crucial situation, and I wanted to cry out to Abba Father this way, and He heard the cry and helped us out!😊 The first time I did this He gave me a song the third day called "Glorify Your Name", and you can listen to it on my tiny channel.

Thank you for the clarification between true fasting and sacrifice and mourning. I think this is so important for the church body to understand. Whether we understand or not, abstaining from food is a gift from God to transform our bodies and our Spirit.

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 KZbin and TikTok.

Technically, fasting from social media could fell into the category of fasting, since many people have fleshly desires (even addictions) regarding social media, and for some social media is even an idol... Fasting and sacrificing things for God are not mutually exclusive, since we sacrifice our daily needs (eating) for a short period of time. But fasting from social media etc. is spiritual side of fasting, where abstaining from food (or certain food products) is physical side of it. Or rather, through food fasting our bodies can participate in the spiritual fast, which is struggling with temptations and sins and reaching towards God.

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 😂
@@user-j1spswelskisj yes i do. For anyone asking i stopped til the 5th day of no food since it really made me weak. Now, i decided just to fast everyday for 40 days. Only eating at 6:00 pm.
@CommIncenseCulture Жыл бұрын
The Orthodox (probably what you mean by Byzantine) fast is to eat one meal after 3pm (if you can), and abstain from meat, dairy, oil, and alcohol (except on various days when the fast is lighter.) Many have abstained from all food, and even water, for 40 days leading up to Christmas or Holy Week, but the prescribed fast is not so strict as that.

You can eat but eat light...it's not the skipping meal, it's the posture of your heart God is concerned about.
