I did my first true fast in Dec 2022 for my marriage (which was in a spot for me of desperation to get better or I wasn't sure how much longer I could be in it anymore). In that first fast, the Holy Spirit's message to me was to focus on my Heavenly groom and not my earthly groom. I thought that was so weird because of my interpretation of having my husband be my earthly priority. A week or so later, I did another fast and my first verse of the day from my devotional was the exact same verse as my first fast - completely unrelated to how I got there. So my 2nd fast started where my 1st fast ended. It's been 9 months and this one specific message from God has completely transformed my life and my marriage. I had no idea I was idolizing my marriage and finding my identity in it. Fasting is such a powerful tool that most Christians don't realize is available to us to move closer to our Savior and Creator. Such a powerful and miraculous gift God has given us - such a humbling and precious gift.
This message totally speaks to me. I’m tired of constantly going to sugar for relief. It helps for a brief moment and then the extreme guilt and shame sets in. I need the Holy Spirit to help me break this addictive cycle 🙏🏼
Everyone needs to get saved. We aren’t born into the family of God, we are born again into the family again! Catholics can be saved, Christians can be saved! Only Jesus saves! The Catholic Church and the Protestant church cannot save. The question is .. do you know Him?
Thank you for these podcasts. I am "resting" a lot due to stage 4 cancer. It's treatable so I'll be here a long time, but often with nothing to do. Your podcasts help bring me closer to God, remind me of things I know, teach me things I did t know, and encourage me in the faith. I've read your books and bought them for others. God continue to bless you and your family!!!!
Such a Blessing. I have been contemplating fasting to draw closer to Christ and I believe coming across this video is no coincidence but a confirmation from God to take that leap of faith. Thank you!
Definitely need to work very hard on fasting in my life cause it is extremely unbalanced and it's driving me insane. Feel like God is so far away knowing He is right next to me 😔
My GOD is SO good! Lisa your testimony about your food disorder spoke BIG time to me this morning and my grandmother would use laxatives all the time, too! Thank you for being so transparent!❤
I was just thinking about fasting and here I see your podcast. A whole different view about fasting. Not just food fast but fasting against anything that you spend too much time on. Great sharing
i find it so difficult to fast social media or even being away from my phone because my job involves using my phone regularly, However i'm praying to God to help me in this.
Thank you so much for teaching on this subject. I just told my wife the other day that I was going to start fasting on Wednesdays. I'll take this as conformation.!♥
Wow! Now if this isn’t God’s way of putting this video on my feed 🤯 my daughter is going through an eating disorder and I’ve also been going through eating struggles definitely going to pray to start a fast. Thank you for this video God Bless you guys!
I was raised Catholic also. But, I gave my heart to the Lord through Mario Murillo. What I mean by that is, I accepted Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior with a prayer he lead us through.
So helpful to really think about refocusing right before our 21 day fast!! I LOVE watching your conversations every night before bed! 🥰🥰 Y’all have had a hand in changing and deepening my relationship with Christ and I’m so grateful!!
I prayed to God about the topic and asked for the right information and perspective on it. I was so happy to see and listen to this. Very grateful when God answers through ministries.
Wow! I needed to hear this! I struggle with food addiction. Thank you Lisa for sharing your personal testimony! You both have some much wisdom. I watch you both all the time. Thank you so much!!
Hi John & Lisa, This fast dialogue is sooo good for me and for many years I always think "fast"= no food and I cannot do that, I had ulcers, GERD etc....

Love your teachings & sermons❤ Now I'm back in Canada where my home country is God bless 🙏❤
I needed to listen to this. Thank you. I have been on a journey around fasting and feeling so grumpys about it lately and this episode renewed my attitude towards fasting. Blessing to you both.
Thanks you so much, this message was a confirmation & a very timely message for me ❤ I learned about you and Lisa separately just a few months ago and you both have been separately and also together enormous blessings to my walk with God, thank you for letting him use you both!
Thanks for the great advice about fasting! And also thanks for your tons of teachings and messages what’s from the wisdom of the Holy Spirit. God bless you~
Please Lisa, we Need more education, insights about fasting and the bondage of gluttony and emotional eating. Fasting Is lately used as a dieta to lose Weight.dangerous. please talk more about these issue. Thank you, grazie
Hi there! You can check out some more talks on fasting within Lisa's personal channel. Here is a link to one of the lessons on fasting. Hope this is helpful :) th-cam.com/video/9Ylhx4Ew9_M/w-d-xo.html
Thank you all for addressing this topic. I’ve fasted for years now but after I had my little ones it was hard to get into again. I’m been doing it here and there but grudgingly sometimes. Thank you for saying we can fast from other things besides foods.
Hello from Romania! Me and my husband we love your app( breaking free from intimidation) beeing able to listen to the book " the bait of satan" was such a blessing as i am a mom of 3 little boys and i can not sit and read the paper book. Thank you! You ar an inspiration for our family as we are in ministry. 🎉❤!!!!
Hi there, I saw your comment and wanted to pass along another video on Lisa's channel that discusses fasting. I hope this is helpful. Prayers to you. th-cam.com/video/9Ylhx4Ew9_M/w-d-xo.html
This one and your other podcasts are great and informative. Both of you got me now. I am a subscriber and will definitely pass this one like the others on. Thank you! 😊
Loved hearing about this topic! It most definitely confirms some of the experiences I've had since I started fasting regularly to grow closer to God. Thank you both!! 💗
I just discovered these podcasts. Really helpful and insightful. Just some positive feedback for Lisa; try not to cut through when other people are talking. Kind of comes across as inconsiderate. Love the podcasts ❤
John! I love your story if God giving you books to write. I myself am a writer! Can you talk about your process for writing and writing from a place of Holy Spirit inspiration? I’d also LOVE to hear about similar creative processes in Lisa’s life. Thanks!
Lisa & July or maybe one of the boys can answer this… but when did you start teaching the children to fast? We have a 3 year old (no I won’t let her fast now 😅) but would like to park the idea in my heart when I can start teaching her? Thank you for sharing your stories. Sending love from South Africa.
Hello! This is John and Lisa's Social Media Coordinator. I saw your comment and wanted to help direct you to different courses across TH-cam from their channels. Lisa talks more about it here: th-cam.com/video/9Ylhx4Ew9_M/w-d-xo.html Go subscribe to Lisa, she has some great content on fasting!
Hi there! This is the social media coordinator for John and Lisa's account. Can you explain more of your question? I would love to know more about what you want to know so I can pass it on to John and Lisa! Have a blessed day.
If your friend was miserable for just eating 1/4 of one slice of cake, he most likely was allergic to something in that cake!!!! Now, if he ate ONE FOURTH of the entire cake, that would be a completely different story! That being said, yes, it is EXTREMELY important to add foods back slowly. Your body gets used to not eating, and can have trouble switching back. There are a whole host of physiological reasons for this. Serious fasting of food should be doke with medical supervision if you have health issues. Conversely, a total food fast can often identify food allergies when food is reintroduced to the body, which is an added blessing from God!!
Fasting is refraining from food only. Taking away television, social media etc is taking away something that causes you to sin. Big difference but both needed for very effective fast. Not watching T.V./Social media will go under scripture that says if your eye causes you to sin pluck it out.
Hi. I subscribed a few weex ago and have been getting some very clear insight on a lot of subjects that have been "murky" forever. 1 thing that I've been having a hard time with is wanting to know if it's even possible to live & pray & obey the directions of the Holy Ghost without constantly wondering HOW God will bring it to pass? I'm sure God has told me to step away from my current job (which I hate😏) at the end of the year, He has confirmed it a lot over the last 2-3weex. But with a 6-month old son and have jus started to dig ourselves out of some huge debt, which I had calculated wud have needed at least 12-18 months to clear with me & wife's current income. Apart from the other financial obligations we have. Is it possible to be at peace that God has it figured out without wondering HOW the "figured out" comes. Right now we are at "leave Egypt" but a possible "wilderness" as a next stop does little for steadying anxiety, even though it's God who has said leave.
Hi there, this is John and Lisa's social media coordinator. I come across your comment and wanted to help direct you to a course on John's channel which talks about our wilderness seasons. I hope you find this helpful! Take good care. th-cam.com/video/HSNfLuJKjmE/w-d-xo.html
No offence but Bible only talked about food fasting. We fast by not eating so that we can deny our body. When we deny something that's keeps us alive that is very necessary, that's when we put ourselves at a place where we can trust GOD completely. "Man shall not live by food alone but by every word that comes from GOD". I have seen people with diabetes fast. I have seen GOD taking care of them. I suggest everyone should pray to fast and then actually fast. What can hurt you when GOD is with you?
I did my first true fast in Dec 2022 for my marriage (which was in a spot for me of desperation to get better or I wasn't sure how much longer I could be in it anymore).

“A fast can change the way you see”
Idol-“It’s what you give your strength to, and what you draw your strength from” 🔥
A diet changes how you look but a fast changes how you see❤❤❤
The world dulls our senses so that we don't hear God.
This message totally speaks to me. I’m tired of constantly going to sugar for relief. It helps for a brief moment and then the extreme guilt and shame sets in. I need the Holy Spirit to help me break this addictive cycle 🙏🏼
"an idol is what you put your strength in and what you draw your strength from" 😲😳 🙏
I was also raised Roman catholic but, God saved our whole family in the late nineties 😊
Catholics aren't saved??? Say whattt
Everyone needs to get saved. We aren’t born into the family of God, we are born again into the family again! Catholics can be saved, Christians can be saved! Only Jesus saves! The Catholic Church and the Protestant church cannot save. The question is .. do you know Him?

❤🙏❤🙏❤🙏❤
At what ages did you begin including your children in fasting? Food or tv etc?
John I have a Question: when you say you fasted for direction, do you mean absolute fast?
Can you elaberate or explaon when a dream or a desire becomes coveting
How many hours do we need to fast? I know that it starts at midnight! When does it end? Thank you.
