Social Media Fast | Fasting from Social Media

[@purplegal05]

I did this in October 2018. It was life changing. You really don't realize how much time you spend on social media until you detox from it. I went 31 days without social media, TV, KZbin, Movies, AND music. I allowed myself to read books and listen to educational podcasts. I spent more time going to sleep on time, cooking fresh meals, and just connecting with people in real life. I highly recommend it.

[@mskreme76]

I need to try this! A few days ago I checked out two books from the library. I enjoyed one of the books but I didn't finish it. I'm going to set time to read a few pages as often as I can!

[@kyramack7060]

How did you find the discipline to do this?

[@purplegal05]

@@kyramack7060 I made a plan. First I signed out of all of the apps, and then put them in a folder on my phone so that I couldn’t see them. I also signed out of them on my laptop too. I made a Bible study plan for the 31 days. If you really want to do something, you’ll find a way. It is called a fast for a reason. It isn’t supposed to be easy. Lean on God to make it through. I do this every year now. When you log back in in a month, you’ll realize that you didn’t miss anything.

[@youclingonme]

I was just talking to God this morning saying I needed to fast from social media😭😭😭

[@owusu361]

Can I just say, I was thinking about this on my bed. I don’t know why. I believe the Lord wants me more in his word, because it is definitely a distraction! God bless you Woman of God! Thank God for your life

[@ademilolatejuoso8461]

I usually fast from twitter, instagram and facebook. I usually keep youtube, but I restrict myself to only watch sermons and teachings. Nothing of leisure

[@chrissynecole]

Ademilola Tejuoso just did this for almost 2 months and it was so needed!!

[@kennethyoung3673]

Ademilola Tejuoso that good because me and my friend is fasting from social media this month as well. But we both agree to keep KZbin to listen to the word only and encouragement.

[@imdifferent7294]

That's what I'm doing now

[@displayofgodssplendor2687]

@Ademilola Tejuoso,blessed to come across your comment now🙏🏽I try this and it really helps🙌🏾

Thank you!! I only go on KZbin for educational purposes

Right on time for me im doing no social media for December 2019 . I love all your videos.

I did a social media fast for 9 days and it was amazing, I concetrated more on other things and prayers and I also got a miracle on the 8th day... I was planning to do it again this December and this video came in ... just on time...I am gonna do it.

[@liawalker]

Wow amazing advice it’s good to fast from social media it’s helps to remove negativity people and toxic things!! Like you said have a personal relationship with God 🙏

[@victoriajohnson933]

Yep! Yep! Yep!! You said it sis. I often do social media fasting. For me, it has become a regular practice. When God tells me to remove myself I do and I do not return until I feel led to. It is literally one of the BEST ways that I get to heed the Holy Spirit and focus more on what is in FRONT of me, not what's on a screen :) Thank you for this video. Love you!

[@ashleyjackson7693]

Another confirmation from God today 🙌

[@Blessed_Daye]

This video just sealed the deal for me. Definitely fasting.

[@MsFreda1957]

I’m so grateful to God that I found your channel a while back. You’re very inspiring and motivational. May you continue to walk in your destiny🙏🏽❤️ Blessings to you and your family

[@antoinycemathis]

Yeeeeeesss, I do that all the time - delete the apps and all notifications, etc.!!!! Sometimes, I leave the apps to work on my own discipline, but that is definitely personal preference from time to time.

[@Its-sarahj]

I’ve done this before and i can testify to all you’ve said! God truly blessed me and transformed me during that time. I spent more time with God and people around me. I was more kind, patient and understanding. I would definitely recommend this fast. Thank you for sharing, this is a confirmation!

[@jae1262]

Over a week ago I decided to go on a 21 day social media fast. I am fasting from Instagram & Facebook because I kept getting possessed by the spirit of comparison, spirit on bitterness, & spirit of depression. I did a fast earlier in the year and it was incredible. I believe that social media is something I cannot be a part of quite yet. It opens me up to negative thoughts and the enemy is able to take root in my mind through it. Sooo it has GOT TO GOOOO lol but I’m glad i saw this message. It is right on time!

[@AndrewSky101]

This video came right ON TIME! I literally been uninstalling and reinstalling Instagram on my phone knowing God was calling me for a social media fast.

[@jenieverichards6809]

I did social media fast because it was affecting me. I had to take control of the flesh and let God spirit speak to me through the times. It does leads to comparison

[@keepthefaithwithtori]

I went on Consecration from Facebook in month of November... But this is my confirmation that I need to keep going in December...

[@dione082003]

This is right on time! I’m being lead to go on a social media fast as well, especially from Facebook.

[@DRTY3RD]

I'd been feeling it half the summer, but had been feeling it longer than that, and went ahead and deactivated my FB somewhere around Labor Day. It's been a GINORMOUS RELIEF! The distractions were too much. It's still off and will be until I feel released from Holy Spirit to open it back up. 🙏🙌

[@briannacollie2742]

I have been fasting from social media for a month now, and I don't miss it!

[@manilla2054]

[@antoinycemathis]

Every few months, God leads me on a fast/cleanse from social media!! Right now, I'm on a cleanse for all of December 2019. Also, another practice that I have...anytime I'm fasting, I also fast from social media for the same period (i.e. 24-hour fast = 24-hour social media cleanse... it really helps me to hone in on seeking God during the fast)!!!

[@BelieveInYourself181]

Thank you for posting this! I've been wanting to fast more regularly so I can get closer to God but I was looking for an alternative for me that wouldn't require me to not eat because I have been really struggling with weight loss due to stress and stomach issues. Unless the Holy Spirit tells me otherwise or I've gained more weight, I will continue with social media fasts. :)

[@loveablej2]

Day 3 for the fasting, How's everybody doing? Everyday gets easier for me. Not that I care for social media, I guess I was just use to it always being my go to pass time. I am finding other meaningful pass time

Awesome!! It’ll get easier and easier as you go along

[@NishaR9321]

Oh wow, I just had to comment. I am someone who does not really use social media much, just created a Facebook account only a few months ago. And, I haven't even been on there for I believe a week or so. Just felt like I needed to not get on there for a while. But, it's so weird, because I do not even stay logged into Facebook. And, yes I have been depressed, not to say because of Facebook, but other things in my life. But, I do believe number one is somewhat a reason for me, seeing other things in people's lives. .....number 3 is the number one reason because I am trying to become closer to the most high. Thank you for this.......😊🙏🏿 It's like I can be thinking or dealing with something and your videos show up in my notifications.......right on time. 😊

[@abryant3000]

I’ll definitely be joining you and everyone else in this fast! Well I haven’t necessarily been led to this decision spiritually, lately I find myself scrolling out of boredom and comparison. Figured this would be a good way, even if it is secular, to get this out of my system. Besides, there’s a big difference between being informed and being inundated… 95% of social media post fall into the category of the latter....Soooo, I don’t think anyone participating in this fast is going to lose anything!

[@mskreme76]

I've fasted for 30 days I believe and it's quite an experience! It's amazing how your mind will feel when it's not inundated with so much "stuff" from social media. I encourage you to start off fasting in small increments, such as 10, 15 or 30 minutes to just step away and replace it with reading God's Word, a devotional or prayer, however God leads you.

[@derri143]

I’m on day 11 of my social media fast and this video was suggested! Just another confirmation that this is what God wanted me to do 😊💖

[@smudgemeelements3024]

Being as it is a new year and a new decade... I AM GIVING GOD THE FIRST OF EVERYTHING! The first of my day, week, month, and year! So I am doing a non traditional fast and one of the things on my list (I have 10 things on it) I am giving up is social media/limiting my usage to under an hour a day and hopefully I can get to no usage after 21 days (but I will probably go 30). I reach for my phone so darn much just to click on IG or Twitter, but WHY? I created this distracting habit and it needs to stop. It is adding no positively to my life! I am trying to get in the habit that when I catch myself unlocking my phone and going for a social media app, that I stop immediately and open my bible app and read at least 1 verse! Today I realized, wow I am reaching for my phone A LOT... and then recognized, okay this is when I need to pray and spend time with God. I GOT THIS BC GOD'S GOT ME! Also, iPhone has the option for screen and time limits for apps! It is really helpful to look at and see how many times you are picking up your phone in a day and what is consuming the most time. Thank you for the time, energy and love you put into this video. I am subscribed now

Awesome video. So on point! I had been struggling with anxiety and depression, and social media can very much contribute to that. People post soooo much stuff on Facebook that takes up your mind, but once I step away from it for a little, I can feel my mind decompressing! God wants us to make and enjoy time with Him, and with the people He's placed in our lives, and be present in those moments that will not come again.
