I stared my 21 day fast on October 1st, ask for God to indeed in helping my child find shelter to keep warm and food cause she was homeless; she had exhausted housing through her insurance and no-one would take her; I ask God if only two things be give out of this, please allow me to here you when you speak and help/heal my daughter,. Last Thursday, a lady (State Program for Mental/Drug Abuse) called her back and said they had room to admit her from 12-18 month program she qualified for. My fast should end on the 21st, but my weekly 3-day fast starts on Saturday,Sunday And Monday, so I’m so willing and in deep joy and gratitude to continue those 3-days. I can’t tell you what that miracle did to my heart, my soul, to allow me to rest, cause I’m 2000 miles from her, and that is only a finger print of the blessings God has been pouring out over me daily; And Last night I turned on my iPad and your program popped up, at bed time God told me to watch/listen to the program 1 & 2; God is so amazing. I thank you for sharing your program with views like me , for it has really touch my heart and given me confirmation through God from my prayers, that he hears and willing to answer. God Bless, Love You All

So even 21 days of fasting & prayer could not save your child from addiction? 🥺 May I ask what kind of fasting (Daniel, liquid, full) you are doing?

[@michaelmorales3465]

I just read 1 Corinthians and listened as Paul says that there should be no divisions and that workers are nothing they are all Gods stewards. So I watched this video because it wasn’t from my favorite pastors like, Erwin Luther, John MacArthur, or David Jeremiah, also I am doing my first successful fast, “I say thr bsame cause it’s 6:30 pm and I didn’t break it like the other 5 attempts and I watched this wonderful video and God surely blessed it snd I am encouraged to start fasting in my life as a Christian and disciple to pray for God to use me though evangelism, to strengthen His body, for Christian sufferings, also for Israel at the moment in her war against terrorism 😢. It was a blessed video

She prayed for her daughter to get a roof over her head and to be in a program where she could stop her addiction and that’s exactly what happened.!! Lotta people fast for 40 days. I’m not really sure what you’re coming from her aunt. Her prayers were answered and it was what her daughter needed to Yes!!cEnd her addiction !! your comment was terrible and degrading

Does anyone know what kind of fast this pastor is doing?

[@barbieskates540]

The 3 day fasts are usually just water only... ( MEDICALLY... if people need to watch their electrolytes and blood sugar... They add a few drops of lemon juice, a dash of salt and pinch of sugar to their water to avoid feeling faint or ill). (Everyone has different medical needs, so that has to be considered)

[@barbieskates540]

The 21 day Daniel fast is like vegetable soups. etc.. Very simple to digest, light meals, ( generally speaking...no meat, dairy, or junk food, no deserts) It's best to look up special recipes for this. Ground CHIA SEEDS have ALL the amino acids for complete protein. Stabilizes blood sugar and keeps muscles strong.
