I learned abt human trafficking recently and I'm so grieved that I'm praying and fasting for all the victims and doing my best to raise awareness of the horrible situation.

May the Almighty grant you unexpected results in your prayers

[@ryanpoole5302]

When I fasted at the beginning of the year, I did the Daniel fast and I wrote down what I was wanting to see happen. This was my first time doing this; a lot of the time before this, fasting felt more religious to me. One of the things I was asking God for was a greater sense of discernment. Before the fast was over, and after the fast, I felt that my spirit had opened up and become more aware of what was happening in and around me spiritually. God is faithful! Also, the closeness I have felt to Jesus is the closest I have ever been! It has been so beautiful. He truly is my best friend and He is the best teacher. Thank you again for this video! You are a light Alyssa. And a natural teacher!

I’m on a 3 day fast starting today I’m fasting for healing.

[@theloveofjesustransforms8183]

“But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.” ‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭53:5‬ ‭Your healing has happened 2000 years ago on the cross! Nothing wrong with fasting but God is already convinced (because of what Jesus did for you) that you deserve to be healed! what is your condition ?

[@emokid6944]

Did you just not eat and drink water? Or you just didn’t eat?

[@annabertuna1805]

Did you get healed? Thank you kindly and blessings from Melbourne Australia

[@user-xq2zn8bu9q]

I'll give it a go. I have a nasty foot ulcer that wants healing. 😮

[@tammiesherrie]

Day 2 of fasting. I feel so weak lol but God is going strong right now and I can see that I will make my 21 days amen ❤️

[@tammiesherrie]

Update God was good but I was hungry. Full 7 day fast though and it was also my first fast ever

[@GojoSan21]

Tammie Annalise How was it? Besides the hunger? Anything you fasted for come to pass?

[@tammiesherrie]

Love Is Everything. Definitely spoke in tongues for the first time!! I cried about that one lol because I wanted it so bad. It allowed me to focus when I prayed & not only that It help me concentrate on work and studying. I did a no food at all fast only water and barely even any of that.

[@glittersilver7779]

Do you fast with no water at all too?? 💦

[@tammiesherrie]

@@glittersilver7779 i have before only one day though. I would definitely recommend the David fast where you eat vegetables and drink water only and then that’ll help you be able to do the no food fast and no water fast. If you wanna just jump in there go for it God got you

[@abbieamavi]

I fasted sunrise to sunset on wednesday, then on sunday. On Monday the following week, I got approved for my dream apartment. I can testify that fasting moves Gods hand, helps me seek god more clearly, and is very humbling physically. :)

[@charlinecharlostin3188]

Did you do a 7 day water fast ? Can you only fast for one thing ?

[@littletrainer475]

This is right timing. I am drinking water and fruit drink but 3days. My 2days. I am getting better. I listen to this and pray to God. Bless the Lord. Without God i could not even do 2days.

This has helped me out at getting a understanding. I don’t have a church home at all tbh I’ve never truly had one. I am 23 and I have felt disconnected from my spirituality and I wanna get closer to God and show that I trust in him. So much has been going on in my life in general and I feel that I am not moving forward but rather in circles. Im going to go and research more in how to and what to do when I Fast. Thank You for this video ❤️❤️

Thank you so much I’m so glad I found your channel . I have not been successful in my fast .. 😢 I have a medical condition so in the morning I must eat and take my meds . And then my goal is to fast until next day .. I get headaches and I always get something to eat later in day and feel defeated 😞. I know that’s normal and that’s part of the sacrifice is to deny the flesh. Thank you for making this video. I will continue to pray and seek the Lord …God bless you 🙏🏼

Oh I just had a revelation when you fast it’s a literally that Faith because you’re giving everything up to God and you’re saying look Lauren I’m not gonna eat for this many days because I love you so much and I want all of you and I have faith that you will keep me safe he will help me through this fast
