    I’m also fasting BUT not from food BUT from social media like insta en Snapchat en now i really see how much time i’m spending on those apps and all the time that i have now i infest it in the kingdom of God I recommend fasting from social media to people because I’m finally aware from al the time I’m actually wasting

      Yes I love that you spoke about that. Social media really takes time from us especially because it's entertainment you know? But let me know how it goes because it's a beautiful thing that you're doing! x

      Chiney Leefland I'm on my second week of fasting from social media and I started writing my book haha. That is how distracted I was before so when I finally put those distractions away, my mind expanded and basically I thought I was let paralyzed on my phone anymore. I also recommend fasting from social media! 🙌🏾

    • @galileafuentes315
      @galileafuentes315 7 ปีที่แล้ว +16

      Chiney Leefland bo such thing as fasting from social media. Its food you need to fast with. When jesus fasted he sacrificed food not social media.
      Yes its good to get away from social media for God. But the real fasting for God is when you sacrifice food.

    • @chrisyv8053
      @chrisyv8053 7 ปีที่แล้ว +14

      Galilea Fuentes Well maybe for those of you hung up on grammar 🙄 we as Christians should be encouraging to those who are sacrificing something, anything, for the sake of their relationship with their Heavenly Father. If you are depriving yourself FOR the Lord, you are fasting from that thing to purposely replace that time with time With the Lord, you are fasting. Doesn't matter what any other human ( brother in Christ or not) thinks. Until the Holy Spirit tells that person it's "not fasting unless its food, sorry " then why not encourage them?

    • @Ms_T_Perfectly_Imperfect
      @Ms_T_Perfectly_Imperfect 7 ปีที่แล้ว +15

      Galilea Fuentes You're right. The Bible specifically states that a fast is from food and water or just food. The principle is to push away food and to replace it with the word of God. We can encourage giving up material possessions or social media, but that is not a genuine fast. I myself was confused about this until I received correction.

    I disagree with tip #3. You always should come as you are with God. Especially when you are in a bad place or after you sinned. This is a prime reason to fast. Consider King David who fasted for days when he and Bathsheba committed adultery and had that baby. He locked himself away from everyone and just started to fast. And yes prayer is important when fasting. But, you don't have to pray all day. You can read scripture. You can praise him through song and dance. The point is to spend time with your Father alone. No need to put a yoke on yourself. Just focus on Him and all should be well.

    Every christian should read Isaiah 58 : 1 - 12 so they know what fasting is for . Study Matthew 6 : 16 - 18 and Mark 9 : 16 - 29 this last text is imcomplete in most bibles but is complete in the King James Version Bible that you can read online for free .

    Haha girl I remember when I first fasted. There was one time I fasted and someone at my job at the time asked me if I can go to lunch with her. I told her yes with the intention that I wasn't going to eat. This lady ordered food for me and I didn't want to throw it away. I prayed to break my fast off and ate it. I didn't tell there but she asked me the next day and I told her. She said I should have let her know. I didn't drink water first. The way my stomach was hurting. It was scary but if I've grown to learn. Fasting is a blessing but it's also discipline because I know people who say they will never fast. Like you mentioned, when you pray throughout the day, you don't become focused on the food but rather on God. Good bless you. Have a lovely day 💐😊

      Lool! Girl your story is so funny. I've had that happen when I was on a plane and I was fasting. The air hostess offered me food and I didn't know what to do. So I just said yes to her, broke my fast under my breath and prayed God have mercy on me haha. But we really do learn from it all.

But pray a kingdom advancement prayer, need of other people around, then your own light will break forth as noon day.

    I pray all day everyday but I confess that I have struggled so much with fasting. I've tried so many times but only made it 24hrs and just end up eating too much afterwards.
    I have struggled with emotional eating all my life. It's had it's grip on me for years and I feel convicted to share this.
    Please come into agreement with me as I pray to be delivered from this vice. In Jesus name I pray 🙏 Amen

      Alright. Just know you aren’t the only one who’s struggling and although it’s been tough for you know that no matter how the situation looks. All things, all things, are possible with GOD Luke 18:27. You can fast with a group and just take steps from their praying to GOD for strength. And try not to think about how you’ll have no food what so ever for the next day or two just focus on GOD and fill those times where you usual eat with spending time with GOD and just listening to Him.

    I have never fasted before but really want to. I have looked everywhere trying to find the information I need, but I have some unanswered . They may sound stupid to others, but they are keeping me from trying this. I want to start with a sun down fast for one day since I have never done anything like this before and then increase. Since I have a job, family and many obligations throughout the day, I need to know:
    1. My day includes contact with many people and responsibilities to others, do I have to stop all of this and isolate myself in prayer?
    1. Do I have to pray the entire time?
    2. Can I read or watch Bible Study videos during this time?
    3. What about my normal household duties that must be completed each day? Do I just not do them?
    4. Do I isolate myself and cut off contact from others during this time?
    I have read about fasting and watched videos and have not found one that addresses these questions. This video is the closest I have found, but my questions are still unanswered. Please help me. . .

    You are so right on all points! No selfish prayers! G-d's will! In Judaism, we believe your body belongs to G-d and you are the steward of that vessel. Fasting is not only an expression of faith, but a time for sincere prayer and reflection, and to honor Him. No need to draw attention to your fasting, because you're doing it for Him not for recognition.

      Yes this works. It’s the enemy who targets marriages because it is a covenant recognized by God. More people need to fight for their marriage and stand in the gap. The enemy is having it far too easy breaking up marriages with weak to no foundation in God.
      I speak from experience. It is spiritual warfare. The Lord led me to do the same thing as @n8vscience84 and He was faithful to restore our marriage and bring my husband to repentance and back home. He also worked on us both individually so we could have true restoration. We’re still a work in progress but Jesus is our Lord! We’re now 23 years married. That was 21 years ago. 😁

Look at all the children broken from their broken homes. Chances are you move onto someone else and that relationship will fail too because evil is running rampant in our society today and many many people have become lovers of themselves.

    Fasting is not only food ,fasting is depriving yourself from something you love most for example can be social media,Can be watching television,can be Sex,Anything that you feel you love doing the most.

    It is good to fast but I have never been able to do a proper fast, but I am trying to get there. One question I want to ask is about praying during the fast, is okay to say you have had a fast, if one prays extensively in the morning and then reads the Bible, sings to God almost every thirty minutes in a day and finally breaks at 6pm and prays for one hour?

    I enjoyed this video I'm one day two of my fast and I'm planning on doing 3 days first day I was praying throughout the day and it got me through day two I noticed I was thinking about food and when I was going to break my fast but when you mentioned to pray throughout the day it really helps me make it through you go girl!

    I’ve been fasting. Usually 48 hours each week. How do you feel about not complaining about fasting but speaking with others about it?

      Christine Vest like if i fast for two weeks would it be one week for one thing and another week for another? I'm sorry for asking these questions I'm just really wanting to know, thank you very much sweetheart

    • @hadassaheritage
      @hadassaheritage 7 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      jeremy simoni of course! Your agreement with God is YOURS. I don't see why not fast for both of your petitions since you will be fasting for two weeks, but you know why you choose what you choose. But yes, you can divide it. A fast is a fast even if its for an hour

      @lovelycoco4 5 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      The key to following God is to do HIS will not yours. You always have to do what the words says EVEN if it doesn't line up with who you are. The words says to fast in secret, wash your face and don't tell people you are fasting. we have to obey his word.

    When you're fasting, how should you pray? Is it okay to pray for whatever is bothering you or on your heart or should it be praise?

    • @foreverrachel
      @foreverrachel  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I think fasting should be a combination of both of these things. All the best! x

    Hey so i was wondering, can you devote an entire fast to praying for one person? Or does it not work like that? There is a lost person in my life who ï desperately want to come to Jesus, but i thought its mostly their choice, not God’s so can I fast for this person?

    Thank you for pointing out that no one should know you're fasting according to the Bible. Great tips!. God will provide your needs, so you don't need to ask for money...ask for opportunities to spread the Gospel...the Lord will take care of the rest! Bible says don't worry about those other things.
