Your ultimate guide to spiritual fasting

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 18 พ.ย. 2024
- When most of us think of fasting we think of health benefits and Jesus fasting for 40 days in the wilderness. But does the Bible call us to fast as well? Is it just something 'overly spiritual' people do or is there more to it that you maybe don't know. Let's dive in!

Hi! I’m so excited for this video and I pray that it encourages you to embark on a fast and sacrifice something for God! There is so much power in fasting and it’s truly where breakthrough can be found! God bless you guys! ❤
Amen!
I'm diabetic so I have to plan any fast, but great information. Thank you Sister Taylor! 😊
Can you make a video on what to do during a fast
Not what to do but thing you should/can do in a fast
🙏🏻 thanks, ❤ love the comment on - it’s about your heart posture Prov4:23. No matter what you do, is your heart is right, everything will flow from it! ❤️🔥
This woman is a treasure! Walking with God does not have to be hard though. If you are walking with God, nothing can touch you. You will be immune to the craziness that everyone around you wants you to partake in. Just let go and God will guide you.
I started fasting every sunday. It totally fixed my digestive system issues. No more heart burn.
if you do it for christian issues (?, sorry i dont know good word) - it'd much more logical to do it on Fridays. Sunday is a feast day!!
@@olafjohnson6764Chump will lose
@@olafjohnson6764 That type of fasting is a dietary or health issue, which is not needed for Christian living.
@@adamrybny Thank you I appreciate that advice.
John Wesley used to fast at Wednesdays and Fridays. Wednesdays because the Lord was betrayed at this day.
AAAAMEN! I like that your answer to the question in the title is that we don't NEED to fast, but we GET to. That approach can be applied to a lot of areas of life, and it really puts things into perspective in a way that humbles us and increases our gratitude for this living, loving God who didn't even have to give us a life to begin with. I also love that you mentioned that "fasting" isn't only about food - there truly are a lot of ways that we can make space for God in our lives. Brothers and sisters, we cannot forget that WE CAN'T OUTGIVE GOD! He wouldn't encourage us to do something that wouldn't benefit us. When we deprive ourselves of fleshly desires, we make room for the desires of the Spirit. There's never a sacrifice that doesn't end up with our cup overflowing 🙏
The crazy part is, when I repented and gave my life to Christ, I found your channel. I started fasting last 2 days ago and it’s actually a miracle to see you post this video. All am saying is that, this video could have been posted like a year ago but for you to post it during my fasting season to educate me on it is amazing. Thank you Jesus for your love 🙏🏽
@The_Bible_Chick_T Will do, you have a subscriber 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 Let’s grow in Christ together
Fasting without the focus on God isn't ideal...but it's a start. Fasting, prayers, almsgiving. Praise Jesus and God bless.
It's amazing how so many videos about fasting have came up in the last 2 days, which happens with every topic God puts on my heart constantly. Videos, verses, songs. Always. God is great
I personally haven't seen any other videos on fasting recently, this might be God talking to you!!! Go for it!
The same thing happened to me for weeks. But I just thought, I cannot fast! I get angry when I miss a meal! But I finally decided to obey and I fasted for 1 day. It was difficult. Yes, but it was also an amazing, out of this world experience! You will not regret it. Go for it.

I've been fasting here and there and now I'm on a diet that uses fat for fuel anyway, so it's not quite as bad. I'm on a mostly carnivore keto diet, but I do regular keto every now and then. You get used to not having as much food your body doesn't need all of that food. If you go in a carnivore diet you would see how much of that food is actually unneeded, because you're not having near as much pass through your body and wasted.
Your body runs on ketones instead of carbohydrates on a keto diet and it's a much cleaner, healthier fuel source for your brain and the mental clarity you gain is unreal. You're basically tricking your body into being in fast mode all the time.
You should still fast for both spiritual and physical reasons I'm going to fast again this weekend and we will see if I can do it every weekend, or if it ends up being a little bit less frequent.
Everyone I know is probably tired of hearing me talk about keto, but I feel fantastic and I highly recommend it. God bless you and your family
Thank you sister Taylor for the confirmation I was praying about
Another nice summary. In addition to drawing close to Our Lord thru fasting, the medical benefits include putting your body into a state of autophagy. Scientific literature suggests about 10 to 12 hours of fasting is needed to enter into autophagy. Autophagy is a condition where your body feeds on itself, going after the bad cells that are in your body. But that’s just a side benefit, the spiritual is strengthening our inner man and our sensitivity to the Holy Spirit.
I only discovered your channel tonight (UK time) but this has quickly become my favourite christian themed channel...your knowledge of scripture and the topics you touch on along with videos that aren't too long for my ADHD brain tk sit through are ideal for me so thank you and God bless 🙏
Interesting answer, the honour of "get to" - I always thought we needed to - thanks for clarity over a new "why"
Very well done!!!!! Fasting while on the carnivore diet is my free will choice to remain vigilant and focused on our Lord Jesus Christ. Be humble pray and stay the course focused on our LORD and Savior.
You are an amazing young lady! Thank you so much for boldly sharing Jesus with others!
Jesus didn’t say IF you fast, he said WHEN you fast.
Thank you so much Taylor, I have been taking a fast from a game that would take up a lot of my time and I feel super good about it. God Bless you my sister Tay, please stay strong and, please continue making these videos because I really appreciate the time and effort you put into them, and the things you share on your channel.
Firstly, fasting to the Lord, and fasting for health reasons are not the same.
It is also a fact that Christians who are sorrowful for the loss of a loved one, may for that reason, or for other reasons of sorrow choose to fast, but that is not fasting to the Lord, it is because we sorrow, as we can see by the context of Jesus' answer in Mar 2:19-20.
Can the children of the bridechamber fast, while the bridegroom is with them? as long as they have the bridegroom with them, they cannot fast.
But the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken away from them, and then shall they fast in those days.
The object of the fast which God calls upon us to keep is not to afflict the body for the sin of the soul, but to aid us in perceiving the grievous character of sin, in humbling the heart before God and receiving His pardoning grace. His command to Israel was “Rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the Lord your God.”
Christians are not mourners, and God does not require us to spread sackcloth and ashes under our feet to please Him.
He asks the following question in Isaiah fifty-eight verse five.
Is it such a fast that I have chosen? a day for a man to afflict his soul? is it to bow down his head as a bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him? wilt thou call this a fast, and an acceptable day to the LORD?
But notice His own answer in the next two verses where He explains the type of fast that He desires from His people.
Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke? Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh?
This is the fast He wishes us to observe. In these words, our duty is outlined. God shows us where we should place our treasures.
It's amazing that she brought that up because it's the second video I've seen the past couple days where that verse came up.
Years ago I decided to give up my play station for 3 days. It still sits beside my tv; but I still never played it again. I realized that I was wasting too much of my life playing games in those 3 days; and so far, it has turned into almost 3 years. I’m a happier person for leaving the games behind. I give you kudos for your fast my friend. It’s not easy to give up something that you enjoy so much. Good job on being strong enough to do so. God bless you
Thank you for this my sister...this message is reaching me and I am in cape town south africa 🇿🇦 CHRIST IS KING ✝️
Fasting is part of our Christian walk. It helps to starve the flesh and feed our spirit to experience all the wonderful blessings God has in store for us on this side of Heaven (breakthrough, deliverance, confirmation, direction, answered prayers, growing deeper with God, etc.,)
That is so true!!!
Hey jon? What if your underweight thin. 🤔can skinny people fast. Obviously people like that need more calories.
@@ukrainefighter2456 if I may, your question pertains to me! We definitely can fast! I remember reading somewhere years ago in an older publication how a fast can also heal the body in such a way to come up to a healthier weight as opposed to being underweight. Because of our modern American diet loaded with sugar and caffeine etc., I think we would need to use wisdom on how to proceed for fasts longer than 3 days to compensate for any kind of discomfort or headaches, like drinking plenty of water.
Hello! It's part of our Christian walk? No, I disagree. I think many Christians believe false things. I think some false teachings exist.
@@ukrainefighter2456Hello! People like me😄
I feel so hungry. Hungry for fasting! ❤
🍽️ 📕 ✝️
Fasting not only gives you many healthy benefits but also builds discipline clears your mind bur lets you focus on more important things
God connects us all. I have asked the question of "should i fast" for the past week. This was a well visited thought in my mind recently and you just brought light and clarity to some of my questions. God's timing is perfect.
Wow wow wow. Truly doesn’t surprise me! He is so good. He is always speaking! It’s us that need to focus on listening! God bless you & im so excited for you!
@@thebiblechick Thank you so much for the kindness. I find it mesmerizing how much God can change us. God bless, have an amazing weekend!
I smile each time I hear your message! God had given you a gift of teaching and exhortation. Thank you for your contagious passion for faith! Bless you!
Another fast which is very blessed is the fast of sunrise to sunset, with no food or water during this period. It is the fast of Gedaliah in the scripture, which you can find mentioned within Kings and Jeremiah.
Taylor I also want to say thank you so much for posting this content! Truly you are the female role model the people need right now! May God bless you
Screenshotted this. Saving it for when I need encouragement. Thank you so much!!!! 😢 🕊️ ✝️
@@thebiblechick Aw of course
@@cblank777needed this. Needed this. Needed this. Thank you again. 🕊️✝️
@@thebiblechick It’s funny you think you’re Christian.
@@thebiblechick Keep your religion out of our government!
Wow, I’ve literally been doing a study lately of fasting and praying and the power we receive from the Holy Spirit of we do, it’s like you found my notes 😄 Love your videos btw, keep shining for Jesus,sister.
The first time I did this on a worship retreat, I never even felt hungry until almost the very end. Nice video as usual
Hey Taylor hope your doing well. I can tell you from personal experience that fasting when done right can be very beneficial health wise and helps you save money as well. I did a 5 day fast and my energy levels were great and it definitely really helped me as well be more focus on God Word and praying for His guidance and wisdom. Thank you Taylor for this video and praying you and your family are doing well
Fasting to save money regularly is a poor health choice. If your fasting helped you focus on better aspects of your obedience and relationship to God then that can be a good thing.
Yes, fasting is necessary for all Christians.
Thank you for explaining fasting to me. I grew up in a somewhat liberal Christian denomination that did not discuss fasting. The entire worldwide denomination got progressively worse and ended up splitting. The church left me several years ago. Thanks to you and a couple of others, I have rediscovered the Bible and the love for Jesus. Again, thank you.
I've been having a lot of urges to fast lately, and your video is one of several that have popped up. God is definitely doing something. And you're doing a great service to the church so keep it up. I pray your blessings increase amen.
@The_BibleChick_C yes, I liked and subscribed. I texted that number just now.
@@sethabel4315 It's a scam bot be careful
I really enjoy this. I’m learning a lot thank you very much. I’ll probably watch all of them. I just started watching this my second one.
What a great exposition !! I’ve fasted maybe 3 times in my life. I’m not sure of the results of it spiritually or physically but it was an experience. I was a marathon runner for many years and we did a carbo load in the last week which was a form of fasting and it definitely affected my race performance. Thank you for all you do for your subscribers. I know you’re definitely letting the Holy Spirit lead you so my thankfulness is for your deciding to do that !! It’s not easy at all. In fact the Holy Spirit just laid this on my heart. To follow the Holy Spirit involves fasting from your flesh !!
God Bless you Sister !! 🙏🏻✝️❤️
I would encourage the fast mentioned in Isaiah 58. ❤
I do like the way you looked at the attitude of fasting, not that we have to do it, but that we get to do it. I also liked how you outlined the spiritual benefits of fasting, and how it worked so effectively in your life to break chains of addiction, and contributed to spiritual acuity.
Your videos are pure gold. Thank you so much for taking the time and spreading His good word. Thank you!!!
This was great! I confirm that this is not about perfection but posture! A few years back while I was seeking God with regards to ministry before becoming a pastor, I was not perfect in my lengthy fast by any means. I fell woefully short of my goal but maintained the spirit of it during that season. As a result, I experienced in an "upgrade" in spiritual discernment that led to a woman's deliverance of habits that none of us in the church knew about. I truly believe that believers need to be praying and fasting in this time of America's history. This was timely; very well done Taylor!
Taylor, you are a sweet and sincere Christian. God bless you so much for your teaching videos for the church!
I'm gonna maybe try the complete fast for 3 days and prayer to have God answer my prayers and help me...
I have watched a number of Taylor Alesia’s videos. All I can say is that the huge amount of wisdom and boldness that she has is 100% God given. She has wisdom beyond her years. And her ministry is ordained by the Lord.
Thank you for this, I’m glad you mentioned health reasons. My, reasonably severe disability means I have to take around 25 prescribed medication tablets a day, many of which must be taken with or after food. Like you, I will go for the coffee option as giving that up for a period will be difficult.
This has been on my mind lately. Very timely episode Taylor!!! Thanks!!!
John 8:32 (NIV):
> "Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free."
But ask Jesus Crhrist peace be upon him what is the Truth the Ultimate Truth.
Jesus said in the Bible:
John 17:3 (NIV): "Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent."
In this verse, Jesus speaks to the Father, calling Him the "only True God" and referring to himself as the one sent by God(Prophet) emphasizing a clear distinction between God and Prophet Jesus.
@The_Bible_Chick_T Sister I have some quesrions will ypu reply
I am deeply inspired by your story
I will be starting my fast tomorrow of 3 days. I’m going to pray tonight and start tomorrow morning
It’s worth it!
Amen sis praise God 🙏🕊️🌟✨🔥💪
Fasting is a real benefit, not only for physical but psychological and spiritual as well. The PEACE you find from this powerful tool is hard to believe for most people who have never fasted. Imagine being freed of temptations and addictions. Yes, it is uncomfortable when you start; it will become second nature quickly. May God bless your efforts … you CAN do it!
Well said! And I totally agree. Fasting and praying is one of the primary tools Jesus has given us to help advance the Kingdom, and to overcome our struggles.
When I was watching this video, I originally thought your conclusion would be yes you must fast. But when your conclusion “we get to fast and it is a wonderful tool to draw ourselves closer to God.” It Just opens my eyes To what fasting truly should be! Thank you. And God just used you to show me something today🫶
I’m on my 5th day of the Daniel fast. God bless.🙏🏽
God is good. Thank you, Jesus, for what little I have. Only you saved me from Hell. Thank you to everyone and everything. I love you! -Andrew
God can work through the algorithm, wow. I was just laying down trying to figure out if I should fast and this video popped up. I’m going to start my fast today to show God I am giving up control in my life and that I choose him over my wants, hopes, and worldly desires. Thanks so much for sharing your wisdom you truly have made an impact.
You don't need to fast to be saved, but you do if you're to be an effectual witness.
Yes! Great reminder to deny ourselves and fast, Taylor! Well done! Jesus said certain demons can only be cast out by fasting and prayer (Matt. 17:21). If we become too used to just doing whatever we want in each moment - even if those things are not sinful - we are conditioning ourselves to give in, even when it is real temptation and sin. Conversely, denying our desires of things that are not sinful can help train us to deny our flesh when a sinful temptation comes. We need to learn to say no, and fasting is a tool God has provided to assist in that endeavor.
Thank you sister, sending love from South Africa. Am learning from you
You have inspired me!! I’m starting my fast next week and I couldn’t be more excited! 🩷
Thank you for posting this Taylor! I have been avoiding fasting out of fear of judgment, but I know I need to do this. It is not about my wants but what He wants.
Yes!!! Who cares! Don’t you let the fear of man ever stand in your way! Replace that with reverence for God! Do what pleases Him.
@@thebiblechick Amen
Nuts and fruits were the original diet in Eden. My Grandparents were vegan and grew their own vegetables and baked whole wheat bread everyday. They were very kind and Godly people whom i loved very much. My Grandmother taught children at a Christian school and my Grandfather was a pastor of a SDA church.
For how convenient this video popped up for me after just watching your videos for a week now. I think the Lord is telling me something.
I actually just fasted for 24 hours. I kept thinking how long do I go? What should I do? I did drink coffee and vitamin water but now I’m ready to do a real fast and I did feel closer to God today. Thank you and again very amazing that God showed me this video as I end my fast today.
Thank you for this video, Taylor. It's really edifying.
I am a Catholic. We are required to fast two days a year and every Friday are called to abstain from something (Can. 1249-1253) or do some other penitential work (Pastoral Statement on Penance and Abstinence; issued by the U.S.C.C.B. in 1966). I love the way you said, “we get to.” I think we all need to phrase things that way more often. I “get to” go to Church to worship God, for instance. I’m a recent viewer on your channel. While I’m sure we disagree on some theology, I appreciate your ministry.
On the other hand, I would rather cling to that "we need to" phrase. Yes, it has a implication of requirement ("we ought to"), but the flipside is necessity - we need fasting as much as we need food and air and shelter because that responds to some of our needs and essentially is for our best... Obviously God does not do anything with our fasting what He wouldn't do anyway, so it really is primarily for our good.
Yes 100% agree. As you pointed out it is a case of 'when' and not 'if' I do the 24 hour fast fairly often, maybe should do it more ! Good video, very clearly explained. God bless you ❤
This was another inspiring video. It was very informative, as well. God Bless!!!
Also proud of you for changing Taylor
I hope you make make longer videos! You're of my favorite christian content creator!
I think you and Esther are alike! God bless you, Taylor!
This is exactly what I need to know Taylor, THANK YOU ❤ full fast for 3 days it will be. 🙏
You got this!!!!! Cmon!!! Praise God!!!
@@thebiblechick After what I have been through with the spiritual attacks, and what not 🫣 I am going to do this without fail ❤️🙏 I will let you know how it goes.. Thank you for your content, you have no idea how much you have opened my eyes to God
It's funny you posted this only a few hours ago. Yesterday i eas feeling completely and utterly hopeless. I decided to go for a drive and listen to music last night. Just me and God. And then this morning i wrote about fasting, though not in the strictest biblical sense.
You, my sister, are a real one. You speak in love nad truth and i pray the Lord continue to bless you and keep uou in your walk with Him and your ministry.
I really feel personally that it's important to humble ourselves in some way. I'm really trying to do that in my life now so thank you Taylor for this suggestion.
I was fasting once a month Friday night until Sunday lunch only drinking water but I stopped for some reason so thanks for the reminder!
It’s time to stop fooling around and get back into a routine that was beneficial to me and my walk with Jesus.
Thanks again young lady.
Thank you for the video, it has given me clarity on what fasting should look like. Thank you again.
Dear Taylor, I want to thank you. You helped me get more knowledge about the great father. Love you sister! ❤
Best compliment I could EVER receive!!! Overjoyed. Praise God!! ❤️ love you even more sister!!!
@The_BibleChick_I thank you so much!!
There is also the option to miss out one of your meals from the day
Well done Taylor it's something we all need
@thebiblechick Taylor I haven't been around in a while but I started following you around 50K subs. I just wanted to say you're doing great work for the Lord and I just watched a few of the last videos I didn't see until now. You keep doing what your doing. Keep learning, striving, and seeking the Lord. You have a natural talent to teach. You go, sister! God Bless.
Everytime I tried to pray and fast I would only fast(meaning i wasnt getting close to God intentionally) and I got discouraged since then because of these failed fasts, now I'm facing a problem that I shouldn't be facing bc it is way over my age to have that specific problem and my mom tithe in her church, it stopped for a week or so, she fasted and prayed(she only told me after she finished) the problem aslo went away for a bit and now came back even stronger, and I'm motivated again to fast but this time, properly and I just hope this video along with the bible stories you mention can help me in this decision and beak the chains once and for all💪
I had a sin pattern that was not going away, but when my church did a fast this month, I joined in. I love Ice Cream. It is part of my daily ritual. It was truly Dinner. So that was my fast. What I was not expecting is the freedom that came when my sin pattern was released during this fast. I also attribute this breakthrough to Soul Case that guided me to see things that I needed to address, then the fast was the key I needed in the spiritual realm to unlock the freedom in the earthly realm I struggled with for so many years. How does it work? It is one of those faith things, that you just need to trust and obey. Part of it was God showed me in a dream, have you ever dreamed you could fly? Well I did, but I was not able to fly high enough to where I was to be, so I had to climb on my own strength the last part. God told me this is because my sin holds me back from being able to fly as high as I needed to. Then as I shared my experience with my small group, I got a vision of the roadrunner and coyote. The coyote was standing as he does on an outcropping of a cliff. then as is always his case, the ground broke free and he falls to the ground below. That is what happened to the devil's foot hold on the sin. The devil literally no longer has the ground to stand on and bring his shame on me. So if you wonder how to be free, you can see from this journey there are many layers. Start building your layers to your freedom.
Thank you so much. You dont understand how clearly stated Gods word was concerning fasting was to me until this video. Ive been needing to fast a long time and didnt know how and now im in the season i feel the most ive ever felt to fast
As Christians the hardest thing we have to do is crucify this flesh and it can be challenging. And fasting is a big part of that. If we will just look to Jesus and spend time with Him we will start to Love Him more and start to draw nearer to Him then our hearts will be much more inclined to seek Him and let go of things of this world. But doing it without Jesus is like trying to find a black cat in a dark tunnel. Love your videos Taylor.

Ty Taylor!! Fasting is an amazing, transforming, life changing, relationship building joy. I recommend to everyone. You will not regret it. The Lors is so faithful when we seek him and follow His instructions!!
I’m a fairly new believer and I’ve been wanting to fast for some time now. I had went to my Pastor and had asked for guidance in this because I’ve never done a fast ever but I never really and truly got an answer as to how to start a fast or what to fast from or to just do a water fast but I’m on medication’s that I’m desperately wanting to be free of and have been praying for the past 4 years to be free. I don’t know how or where to start but I feel that the Lord has placed this on my heart for so long now that I’m wanting to start and I’m praying to start first thing Monday but I could definitely use some much needed help in where and how to start. I don’t know anything about fasting at all except for where it says in the Bible where Jesus says “when you fast” not “if you fast” I could really use any information at all and would appreciate any help in how to start. God bless you and I’m praying for a breakthrough and that the chains of bondage would be broken and that the Son will set me free and I’ll be free indeed🙏
Very encouraging🙏
thanks you so much Taylor we need more people like you. gratia plena.
I need to fast after looking at you Facebook page 🤪 . Fantastic bod.!
Thank you Taylor. Your message is very clear and simple that anyone can understand it easily. God is using you as one of the best instrument in the age of AI. God bless you. pray for me and my Church too.🙏
@The_BibleChick_C How to know it's the will of God in finding the soulmate? I have prayed and fasted and it's 7 years in the waiting.
I wouldn’t say we HAVE to fast, I’d say we GET to fast. It always helps me to recenter on the Lord.
Have loved the message. thank you so much, l needed this piece❤
Yes. We need to pray, fast and almsgive
Your videos are so encouranging!!
@The_BibleChick_Q Sounds good!
A coincidence I started Fasting the day this video came out and I feel it did helped. I wanted to wait it out for confirmations but I’ll leave a comment now. Thank You 🙏🏼 and GodblessYou 😁🫶🏼🙏🏼🤍
My late mom fasted and only took a cup of tea i need pray please God Bless U
Fasting bringing closer to Christ 🙏
I always do fasting. It will generate you body. 🌹🌹🌹
I was just thinking about doing this today! And I wanted to find clarity on what to do! Because its my first time trying but I was still wondering how so this is amazing work! 😂❤✝️
Great job on working on this video!
I have been very interested I fasting. I know this is very different than fasting but I just got over a cold virus and it humbled me and made me feel closer to God. I seems we are the closet to God when we struggle. I can only image how the lepers felt when Jesus heald them.
Jesus fasted in the desert for 40 days. i legit wanted to try this. no food, just water for at least 30 days. if i can make it, then i'll extend it to 40... it's a reset my body deserves!
This was right on time for me..
Yes we should fast and it's mentioned quite a bit in the Bible. I saw it when I was reading in the book of Matthew 😊🙏🏽. It's certainly not easy but I believe if start small like 24 hours it's very possible. There's many different fast methods we can use. I saw that the Watermelon fast is a good one to try. Many body builders, arm wrestling and sports athletes fast. Some more than what we think. I hope to one day work on ability to fast. May God continue to bless you and everyone here Taylor.
Glad you quantified the partial fast. I thought being partial to a bit of this and that would do.
Seriously though, turning 45 at midnight (UK/Ireland), this could be a call to fast instead of feast.
I ordered fast food, they brought me an empty tray.
fascinating subject
Used to follow you before Jesus. It's really cool to see you talking so clearly and so humbly about Him. You make it make sense and you just are a really good speaker. You keep it short yet so informative! This is awesome praise God.
wow. Can’t tell you how much this lifted me up today. Thank you for going out of your way to send this to me. Screenshotted and saving ✝️🤍 God bless you!!! Praise God!
@thebiblechick I'm glad!!! I'm about your age and came to Jesus when I was 24 and once you know Him you can't deny or ever not talk about Him so it's just cool to see!!!
I can echo your comment, concise and informative!
@matthewottaway8521 yeah she is definitely gifted in this area
I fast at lunch times!! From breakfast ta dinner everyday!!🛐✝
