Timely video. I completed a fast that ended in the month of November. A week ago, I was informed about an unexpected mishap. And guess when it started? Yep, the month of November. I did shed a tear or two but I had this peace. It wasn't numbness, it was peace. I was so proud of myself. Years ago, this would have sent me over the edge. However, the Lord confirmed via Holy Spirit and scriptures that He had my back and everything is going to work out. And I am still at REST #praisedance.
Praise God! It's such a praise when we can see how far the Lord has brought us. I know just what you mean. Praise dancing in the spirit with you! Blessings to you, sis. 💚🙏🏾
Amen sis, I noticed this kind of progress in my life too. I believe this means God is maturing us to be able to handle the great things he has for us that can only be a full blessing if we have a deep relationship with Him. So our Father is taking his time to make us mature new covenant daughter ♡
I was dealing with negative feelings concerning the lack of healing of my body in January's Daniel Fast results. Yet I desire to fast again from the end of February to March. My faith is based on God's word. I rely on Jesus' righteousness and not my own. TFS.
Thank you so much for sharing Kim. I’ve been fasting every Thursday and this is so helpful. I had recently prayed that the Lord would give me more guidance on fasting and your video popped up today. 😊 Thank you Lord.
Tbh I never had good experiences fasting. Cuz it seems as though takes the long approach to draw me closer to Him. He puts me through trials and tribulations to make sure that I learn the lesson that he wants to teach me. This Christian walk is not for the faint of heart.
AMEN & Amen! I'm so glad you brought up where God's Word speaks about fasting! Amen! "My people perish for lack of understanding" & "The entrance of My Word give light" is our answer! God is so good!
Dear Kim, this message has left me SO encouraged! I believe you may have the exhortation gift 😌❤️ Thank you for backing everything up with scripture, that’s very important to me. To God be the Glory, Shalom sis!
This was my first time doing a 21 day fast so I wasn’t sure what happens the last day. But the way I read the Bible changed. I was looking up the original recipients of books to understand the context and even definitions of words. I’ll make time to do this more. This video also clarified some things for me as well. I will say the last day I had a thought about an offense from years ago in another state and wondered why I was even remembering that out of nowhere but I remembered to just pray and forgive.
This is so awesome. Such a huge praise that the way you read the Bible changed! It's also a blessing that forgiveness came out of this time. Glory to God. Thank you for sharing His faithfulness with us. Blessings to you! 🙏🏾
Thank you for this realistic point of view on fasting. I feel like we hear a lot of stories of God doing great, big mighty things for people at the end of their fast, yet sometimes others don't experience that and that is okay. I finished a Daniel Fast two weeks ago and even though something huge didn't happen God was still able to shift my life in certain areas. There are things I learned during the fast that have made me healthier. Whatever I received I will cling on to those things and keep pressing forward.❤️
I love this, Bria. Praise God! It truly is a praise that you know that God shifted your life in certain areas and you learned things that have made you healthier. That's God working. AMEN -- cling to those things! They are from the Lord....precious gifts from above. Blessings to you! 💚🙏🏾
Wow Holy Spirit speaking to me through you! Literally just came out of this. I fasted for 21 days and although I felt His Holy strengthening, I felt so called to let go what I was expecting to happen in that fast. I wanted a word or phrase for the year to help direct me. I got words previous years (two years) and I felt so expectant. I was completely depending on it. I was holding onto it and waiting but towards the end I was hopeful. I knew I had to let it go. The hunger is definitely grown. I was given a word but it's not super clear, I need clarity. I struggle with doubt with the word cause it doesn't feel like a direction for the year. I dunno I'm praying but I feel His presence stronger. I am hungry more and it's hard. Hard because I battle my flesh, I need more and more. It's difficult to always channel that need. I know it's for God and sometimes my flesh calls out for binging trash TV or food or whatever else and I need Holy Spirit 24/7 now lol
You already know that I know just how you're feeling in needing more clarity. But what we DO know is that God is faithful and knows what we need. It's such a praise that you feel His presence in a stronger way and have a greater hunger for Him. Yes, the flesh will battle your spirit but praise God, your spirit is stronger now! God is so good. Blessings to you! 💚🙏🏾
I’m doing the keto continuum workbook to develop my natural skills to fast like fasting matters. Right now my natural stomach doesn’t want food. That’s from eating wrong. However because I did my stomach wrong i need to let my stomach rest and not ask it work for a while. Sounds weird but like Esther had a three day fast whenever there was an illness I set out for on a three day fast. Although I got the principle of fasting from a TV movie where a sick baby giraffe had to starve for three days or die. I fast Wednesday before Bible study and never seem to get eating after right. I wanted to do a forty day fast. I’ve learned fasting can be a natural skill that can repair our bodies. Fasting helps chemotherapy etc. I’m only up to doing a couple of days but I’m learning that skill to help my body in the natural according to teachings in scripture. When the physical is better my distraction level is better. I can concentrate. I’m glad you pointed out satan came to Jesus first and it was an opportunity to submit to God and resist the devil so the devil can flee. Our angels will to us. We just have to remember not to accept the devil. That’s super important. My fasts seem to frequently end with evil.
It is so easy for my heart to bend to my will over God's will for me. I want easy, expeditious answers. But God demands faith AND work. 💙 Often that work is work we have to do on ourselves with the Holy Spirit being our help. Thank you for reminding us that the answer to our prayers may not look like what we were expecting.
I actually just started a fast and I'm so glad I watched this. I especially needed to hear the part about God working even when we don't see it - we walk by faith. And I know I need to be on the lookout for an attack from Satan - I wouldn't have thought of that, but it makes sense. Thanks.
I did a Daniel fast and I had so many breakthroughs. Then I did a water fast and I got sick on day 5. I was so disappointed because I had to break my fast early. I was proud of how far I was able to go cause I had never gotten that far before, but I felt in my heart that I was missing out on something. I asked God to confirm that I needed to get back to my fast and He confirmed it so I am now on Day 2 of my fast. I am praying for many things but mostly healing and I know in my heart that He has already answered my prayers. Crazy thing is that I had a dream the night of day 1 and it made me realize that there was a sin that I had committed that I never repented for. It’s amazing how God speaks to me if I would just shut my mouth and listen.
I love your hunger for drawing near to the Lord and wanting to press in, no matter what. You got back to your fast! And yes, it is so amazing how God speaks, and we know that when He reveals unconfessed sin, it's for our good.....so we can draw even closer. Praying His blessings upon you as you cling to Him during this fast. 💚🙏🏾
Good word. I felt that I need to make this more of a routine because the fight is not earthly so I have to get on the correct battle field. Thank you Kim for that word…really needed it.
Sis in Christ..... smh hard!!! I love the point about the end of the fast, "satan coming for me like that that God was moving in ways I cannot see"!!! Whew! I needed this word as I have been on a journey lately, desiring so much more intimacy. What a word! I fasted in January for 10 days. I felt like you at the end, though this was a fast where I felt I achieved an aspect of discipline I once had and was looking for. The Lord had to help me with the takeaway as I was looking for something else to happen. This journey has left me perplexed at times because I am desiring one thing and God reveals/exposes another (ha! especially when it is about me).
Great episode. I fast often. The first time I fasted I prayed for dreams and from that month on I had all kinds of dreams of the future some have come true. Recently He gave a vision that He allowed me to record. It’s on my channel. I love your channel thank you and God bless.
Seeking God is clinging daily no matter what I'm feeling. He leads me to do some things in private as grieving, giving & fasting. Now in fasting of negative things, words towards others. Where there's pain there's often unforgiveness & can be of ourselves, for me also. Thank you for your obedience to the Lord as you cling to Him, His anointing is upon you to share wisdom with us. This week I've been in Galatians as if that was me who Paul was also writing to. There's freedom in His light on the rampart. Today am claiming & feeding on His word in Ephesians 1 & 2. I will bask as if in the sun where the love & direction of the Son is filling me. Blessings to you Kim and your loved ones. Blessings be upon your family in Jesus name I pray ✝️ .
This is a super frustrating season for many. For me. . .Nothing I know about God is making sense. I think when this happens we must: 1. Check our motives in fasting 2. Seek God’s will It is a challenge in that alone. Many ppl love the hand of God over God Himself.
Thank you for this. Just finished a fast in beginning of Feb and it definitely did NOT end as I expected but it did show me some things about myself and I thank God for that. It just made me want to be more transformed by the Word. So that’s a win. I’m going to keep clinging to the Lord.
That's definitely a win! Such a praise that you want to be more transformed by the word and got some insight into yourself (the kind that only comes from God). Rejoicing with you, sis. YES, keep clinging! 💚🙏🏾
This video popping up just shows me how much God cares and loves me. I really was in my head like Father did anything happen?! Thank you for your obedience to share.
🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 my family and I fasted a few times we did get a breakthrough and we are CLINGING for more!!! We have been standing on the two verses from Hebrews you shared 😃
This is on time word,I was weeping and crying, questioning the God for the injustice and asking him that what about the all the fasting and prayer I did to seek you.You better answer otherwise your loyalty is questioned,I literally said these words to God. I have finished my second 40 day fast and things have worsened since then,the attacks are increased,monitoring spirits are coming every night to visit me and there is absolutely no change in my situation. On the other hand when I fasted for 40 day for the first time, God did many miracles for me, so I was confused did I hear God or I am deceived.Satan was doing all mind games with me,I have been feeling low and agitated as God has called me to break the generational curse,but I am feeling so much time and efforts are wasting in whole process, your video came up and it has given me some soothing feeling because I am not getting any instruction from God and this has been frustrating to me. I have also done sacrifice according to isiah 58 fast and still there is no breakthrough.I am growing weary sister please pray for me. Your video has reallly blessed me amd calmed me somehow,thank you for making this video.
@@kimcashtate amen to that. Thank you so much your prayer.Well after this problem arrived , I had a 3 day water fast and prayer recenly against the monitoring spirit,God has delivered me from evil bird that was.monitoring me since 2 months.Glory be to God.I am in a trasition state and still waiting for instruction but situation is better now.
Wow! This is so encouraging! I participated for the first time in a corporate 21 day fast with my church. I did the Daniel Fast, it was difficult because I am the only believer in my household. My husband isn't a believer and didn't understand what I was doing and it was difficult to have spend quiet time with the Lord without interruptions. I still pressed through the 21 days but when it ended I didn't see nor feel anything and actually felt it could have been a waste. Thank you for this video.
I'm so thankful to God that this was encouraging. As you could tell, I definitely understand how you felt at the end of that fast. But know that the Lord is working. He sees you. Your seeking Him is never in vain. May the Lord bless you richly as you cling to Him. 💚🙏🏾
This video is a blessing! I was just sharing with my sister about what really happened in my 14 day fast in January. The last 7 days was water only, no food in 7 days plus I gave extra money to the needed according to Isaiah 58. Now I'm not young so 7 days without food was big but I love God and just wanted to feel closer to Him. Well I learned it's not about feeling, it's a faith journey and how much do you really love him. If God doesn't do another thing for us, He's already given us all things that pertains to life and godliness. I'm just going to stay encouraged. Blessings to you!
"I learned it's not about feeling, it's a faith journey".....whew! Amen! To have that clarity is huge. Understanding is such a gift from God. Blessings to you as well! 💚🙏🏾
So - full transparency here - I have never done a fast. I’ve “given up” things here and there and THOUGHT about it a lot, just never went all-in. This video was a great reminder about clinging ALL the way, and I loved the connection to Jesus. Of course the enemy will come at us when we’re the most weak. But God! Thanks for keeping it real like always, Sis! 💜 A holy fast will definitely be in my future.
Sis, I'll repeat what I said to you under Jess's comment.... I gave 8 ways that I cling to God in a video a few years back, and fasting was NOT one of them. I made a point of saying that I don't fast enough to include it as something I do. But over the past year, being on the rampart and needing to press in and understand the journey I was on, I HAD to fast (that's what it felt like). It was the Spirit moving me, and He will move you as to the right time, method, etc. You hear His voice. So thankful we can trust Him to lead us. Blessings, Sis! 💚🙏🏾
I recently completed a 7 day fast where during the fast, God would wake me up at 4 or 5 o’clock in the morning to pray, read the Bible, and start my day. Since I worked at night for 12 hours, it was different. Some days only an hour nap before my shift. Around the last two days. I didn’t want to finish it. I wanted to sleep and it was difficult to pray or read my Bible. I felt the God was saying, “push through”. I didn’t. I was so weary. Yet, I told myself, “even tho the fast is over, I shall complete my two days.” Doing that set me free from starting and finishing things by the calendar. I started a 30 day workout on Valentines Day and not pushed it to the 1st of March and days prior I started to drink more water starting at the end of the week. That fast freed me to not staying in the same cycle of not completing something or starting it because a date in the calendar or the day of the week.
I’m working on a fasting lifestyle in the natural for my health. My pastor explained to me that whenever Jesus said this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting it wasn’t an event. Like an all of the sudden gonna fast for a break through isn’t it. Fasting needs to be a lifestyle. Now I learn that the demon that plagued the boy is literally fixed by ketosis. Fat burning instead of carbohydrate burning in the body. That is triggered by a fasting lifestyle. Like another wow. A deep spiritual message but a simple natural prescription.
This SO GOOD! Took me some good notes! Lol! There were a few times i fasted, RECENTLY, and i didn't "see" the results. But later on, I did realize the REWARDS! PRAISE GOD!
I fasted 21 days in January and did not see too much but now I am on 3rd week of fasting with our church and realize I am studying the Bible consistently I studied Ruth and also did the cling challenge now I am studying Habakkuk I thought it was going to be a different book but God kept me coming to this one thank you for all you are doing God bless you 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Praise God! I love that. Sounds like He's increasing your hunger for the word! You are sowing so many seeds that will bear amazing fruit. God is so faithful. Blessings to you! 💚🙏🏾
Oh my God! That happened to me last summer. After a 40 day fast many people in my family became sick I had the strength to take care of them. In the mist of this I was thinking : is it award after 40 days of fasting? Right away I had an answer from God telling me : you were preparing yourself for a season like this. As you said Kim even you don't see it our Heavenly Father never stop working. May God bless you Sister
God’s timing is ALWAYS so amazing. I talked to a friend about fasting earlier today. Then I came here to catch up on clinging and see this video. #confirmation 💜💚
Wow! Thank you for sharing a good message! It's not a popular message but a needed one. I have fasted many times and felt like nothing happened and have given up. Your message was a boost for me! Gonna get back into fasting! Thank you!
This topic is literally so out of my element, somebody mentions fasting and I'm looking the other way. Don't look at me like that, I said what a lot of other people are thinking😂. But but Ima watch for the algorithm lol.
@@daniellembadu I’m pretty sure in my How I Cling video I said I couldn’t list fasting because I didn’t do it enough. That rampart has been no joke! Got me fasting more than ever in life. Lol
This was a much needed video! I was on a praise high during the fast and thought I had a breakthrough. But then I felt this let down immediately following the fast that made me question whether the breakthrough was real or not. I believe that was enemy attack and Gods wants me to keep moving forward with hope and trust.
Yes, sis, move forward with hope and trust. So often we don't understand the why's but you can KNOW that God is with you and He is faithful. Blessings to you! 💚🙏🏾
That tends to be the typical outcome whenever I fasted (which by the way had not been often and the reason why I am trying develop this discipline atm). Thank you for this bc I often felt very bad and that I am not doing it correctly and often made any further attempts difficult to embark upon. If you can, maybe in a future vid, discuss how you typically structure your day/s of fasting? I am so greatly challenged by this. Thanks in advance for any sort of advice. Much 💜🇹🇹
Thank you so much for this timely message. I felt the same as you at the end of my first. Your message helped me understand the reward of my desire to seek God more even if I didn’t receive the clarity I wanted on certain things.
Wow, praise God. I'm so grateful that you were able to see the reward of seeking God more. He is faithful! Thank you for sharing. Blessings to you! 💚🙏🏾
AMEN SIS!!! Amen 🙏🏽🙌🏾 I also fasted in January for 21 days and experienced spiritual warfare/attacks. At the end, I was like 👀👀 Where’s my breakthrough at Lord? 😂😆 But seriously, I feel like I became more disciplined as far as dedicating time/space for God. And I felt refreshed when it was over. Thank you so much Sis for sharing your experience. I’m looking forward to incorporating fasting as a regular part of my cling life as I endeavor to draw nearer and develop intimacy with the Lord (although it still causes me some trepidation 🙃). So grateful for your encouragement and prayers. Much love and many blessings to you and yours! 🥰🤎🙏🏽🤎
Look at you, sis! I remember you talking about the trepidation but I'm rejoicing with you that you were fasting and became more disciplined in dedicating time/space for God! 🙌🏾🙌🏾 Sis, given your trepidation.....that's a breakthrough! Seriously, claim that! God is like, I've got THIS for you, and it's amazing. Blessings to you, sis! 💚🙏🏾
Hey sister Kim! What YAHUAH has shown me after coming off a16 hour fast( this was my very first water only fast) that I can do all things through CHRIST. Unfortunately I didn't make it to my 24 hour goal but I was given a peace about it though I had failed. I learned that it wasn't just about the discipline and obedience of fasting, but relying on HOLY SPIRIT which IS the CLING!🙌📖❤🙏
Amen, sis! Relying on the Holy Spirit is EVERYTHING. Praise God that you learned that. I know you had a goal but I wouldn't count it a fail when THAT was your outcome. Blessings to you! 💚🙏🏾
I have been a Christian for many years, always eager to find more truths, bout who God is. But one thing I have avoided is fasting, I don’t know how I can handle that. I also don’t know if you drink soups or water, or is there a right way. I love my food and don’t know how I can go with out eating. If I don’t eat when I am hungry I get a head ack and get angry ..... I am a boredom eater. I always hear good thing happening , and I do want to draw closer to God ....but fasting is a frightening thought for me .
I too fasted for 21days in January corporately with my church. I was like you. Expected to receive what I prayed for but not really. So I felt like I did something wrong. Or I didn't do enough hours or I wasn't committed enough. In the end, though, I didn't regret doing it, I just didn't get THAT break.
Kim I have never Fasted, due to my health, Heart, prediabetic, Blood Pressure and cholesterol, been told I could fast because I take medications, could you please give me a suggestion. Thank you in advance, God bless you ⚘
Thank you for this. You said you fasted for 21 days, can you please share what kind of fast that was exactly? if you don't mind :) 21 days without food?
Hey Gail! Actually purple has been my favorite color since I was a young girl. But green is the Cling color so I use green hearts. :) Grace and peace to you as well! 💚🙏🏾

I completed a five day fast but my goal was to actually complete the fast. I didn’t think I could do it, but I did it with prayer.👍🏽👍🏽

This journey has left me perplexed at times because I am desiring one thing and God reveals/exposes another (ha! especially when it is about me).
Great episode. I fast often. The first time I fasted I prayed for dreams and from that month on I had all kinds of dreams of the future some have come true. Recently He gave a vision that He allowed me to record. It’s on my channel.
I love your channel thank you and God bless.
Seeking God is clinging daily no matter what I'm feeling. He leads me to do some things in private as grieving, giving & fasting. Now in fasting of negative things, words towards others. Where there's pain there's often unforgiveness & can be of ourselves, for me also. Thank you for your obedience to the Lord as you cling to Him, His anointing is upon you to share wisdom with us. This week I've been in Galatians as if that was me who Paul was also writing to. There's freedom in His light on the rampart. Today am claiming & feeding on His word in Ephesians 1 & 2. I will bask as if in the sun where the love & direction of the Son is filling me. Blessings to you Kim and your loved ones. Blessings be upon your family in Jesus name I pray ✝️ .
This is a super frustrating season for many.
For me. . .Nothing I know about God is making sense.
I think when this happens we must:
1. Check our motives in fasting
2. Seek God’s will
It is a challenge in that alone. Many ppl love the hand of God over God Himself.
Thank you for this. Just finished a fast in beginning of Feb and it definitely did NOT end as I expected but it did show me some things about myself and I thank God for that. It just made me want to be more transformed by the Word. So that’s a win. I’m going to keep clinging to the Lord.
That's definitely a win! Such a praise that you want to be more transformed by the word and got some insight into yourself (the kind that only comes from God). Rejoicing with you, sis. YES, keep clinging! 💚🙏🏾
This video popping up just shows me how much God cares and loves me. I really was in my head like Father did anything happen?! Thank you for your obedience to share.
Great video Kim, & a great reminder about spiritual warfare as well!
🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 my family and I fasted a few times we did get a breakthrough and we are CLINGING for more!!! We have been standing on the two verses from Hebrews you shared 😃
Praise God! Rejoicing with you! Keep CLINGING! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾💚💚
This is on time word,I was weeping and crying, questioning the God for the injustice and asking him that what about the all the fasting and prayer I did to seek you.You better answer otherwise your loyalty is questioned,I literally said these words to God. I have finished my second 40 day fast and things have worsened since then,the attacks are increased,monitoring spirits are coming every night to visit me and there is absolutely no change in my situation. On the other hand when I fasted for 40 day for the first time, God did many miracles for me, so I was confused did I hear God or I am deceived.Satan was doing all mind games with me,I have been feeling low and agitated as God has called me to break the generational curse,but I am feeling so much time and efforts are wasting in whole process, your video came up and it has given me some soothing feeling because I am not getting any instruction from God and this has been frustrating to me. I have also done sacrifice according to isiah 58 fast and still there is no breakthrough.I am growing weary sister please pray for me. Your video has reallly blessed me amd calmed me somehow,thank you for making this video.
I definitely understand how you are feeling. Praying for you! Stand in the truth that God is faithful and He is with us in Christ Jesus. 🙏🏾
@@kimcashtate amen to that. Thank you so much your prayer.Well after this problem arrived , I had a 3 day water fast and prayer recenly against the monitoring spirit,God has delivered me from evil bird that was.monitoring me since 2 months.Glory be to God.I am in a trasition state and still waiting for instruction but situation is better now.
Wow! This is so encouraging! I participated for the first time in a corporate 21 day fast with my church. I did the Daniel Fast, it was difficult because I am the only believer in my household. My husband isn't a believer and didn't understand what I was doing and it was difficult to have spend quiet time with the Lord without interruptions. I still pressed through the 21 days but when it ended I didn't see nor feel anything and actually felt it could have been a waste. Thank you for this video.
I'm so thankful to God that this was encouraging. As you could tell, I definitely understand how you felt at the end of that fast. But know that the Lord is working. He sees you. Your seeking Him is never in vain. May the Lord bless you richly as you cling to Him. 💚🙏🏾
This video is a blessing! I was just sharing with my sister about what really happened in my 14 day fast in January. The last 7 days was water only, no food in 7 days plus I gave extra money to the needed according to Isaiah 58. Now I'm not young so 7 days without food was big but I love God and just wanted to feel closer to Him. Well I learned it's not about feeling, it's a faith journey and how much do you really love him. If God doesn't do another thing for us, He's already given us all things that pertains to life and godliness. I'm just going to stay encouraged. Blessings to you!
"I learned it's not about feeling, it's a faith journey".....whew! Amen! To have that clarity is huge. Understanding is such a gift from God. Blessings to you as well! 💚🙏🏾
So - full transparency here - I have never done a fast. I’ve “given up” things here and there and THOUGHT about it a lot, just never went all-in. This video was a great reminder about clinging ALL the way, and I loved the connection to Jesus. Of course the enemy will come at us when we’re the most weak. But God! Thanks for keeping it real like always, Sis! 💜 A holy fast will definitely be in my future.
Sis, I'll repeat what I said to you under Jess's comment.... I gave 8 ways that I cling to God in a video a few years back, and fasting was NOT one of them. I made a point of saying that I don't fast enough to include it as something I do. But over the past year, being on the rampart and needing to press in and understand the journey I was on, I HAD to fast (that's what it felt like). It was the Spirit moving me, and He will move you as to the right time, method, etc. You hear His voice. So thankful we can trust Him to lead us. Blessings, Sis! 💚🙏🏾

I recently completed a 7 day fast where during the fast, God would wake me up at 4 or 5 o’clock in the morning to pray, read the Bible, and start my day. Since I worked at night for 12 hours, it was different. Some days only an hour nap before my shift.
Around the last two days. I didn’t want to finish it. I wanted to sleep and it was difficult to pray or read my Bible. I felt the God was saying, “push through”. I didn’t. I was so weary. Yet, I told myself, “even tho the fast is over, I shall complete my two days.” Doing that set me free from starting and finishing things by the calendar.
I started a 30 day workout on Valentines Day and not pushed it to the 1st of March and days prior I started to drink more water starting at the end of the week.
That fast freed me to not staying in the same cycle of not completing something or starting it because a date in the calendar or the day of the week.
I’m working on a fasting lifestyle in the natural for my health. My pastor explained to me that whenever Jesus said this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting it wasn’t an event. Like an all of the sudden gonna fast for a break through isn’t it. Fasting needs to be a lifestyle. Now I learn that the demon that plagued the boy is literally fixed by ketosis. Fat burning instead of carbohydrate burning in the body. That is triggered by a fasting lifestyle. Like another wow. A deep spiritual message but a simple natural prescription.
Ok, so I always watch your videos twice. Once to listen and once to write😁.
This SO GOOD! Took me some good notes! Lol! There were a few times i fasted, RECENTLY, and i didn't "see" the results. But later on, I did realize the REWARDS! PRAISE GOD!
I fasted 21 days in January and did not see too much but now I am on 3rd week of fasting with our church and realize I am studying the Bible consistently I studied Ruth and also did the cling challenge now I am studying Habakkuk I thought it was going to be a different book but God kept me coming to this one thank you for all you are doing God bless you 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Praise God! I love that. Sounds like He's increasing your hunger for the word! You are sowing so many seeds that will bear amazing fruit. God is so faithful. Blessings to you! 💚🙏🏾
@@kimcashtate amen 🙏🏽❣️
Oh my God! That happened to me last summer. After a 40 day fast many people in my family became sick I had the strength to take care of them. In the mist of this I was thinking : is it award after 40 days of fasting? Right away I had an answer from God telling me : you were preparing yourself for a season like this. As you said Kim even you don't see it our Heavenly Father never stop working. May God bless you Sister
God is beyond Awesome!! Thank you Kim for sharing your testimony and for blessing us as well. 🙏📖🙏
God’s timing is ALWAYS so amazing. I talked to a friend about fasting earlier today. Then I came here to catch up on clinging and see this video. #confirmation 💜💚
Wow. Just wow. So good. Needed this.
Wow! Thank you for sharing a good message! It's not a popular message but a needed one. I have fasted many times and felt like nothing happened and have given up. Your message was a boost for me! Gonna get back into fasting! Thank you!
Praise the Lord...thank you for the encouraging words.
Blessings to you, Hattie! 💚🙏🏾
This topic is literally so out of my element, somebody mentions fasting and I'm looking the other way. Don't look at me like that, I said what a lot of other people are thinking😂. But but Ima watch for the algorithm lol.
I feel you, Jess! Not looking at you like that at all! But yeah, watch for the algorithm and come back when you decide to fast. 😬💚💚
@@kimcashtate uh.....ain't nobody say anything about me fasting. How you gon volunteer me like that 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Ah, Jess how you gonna call me out when you typed “I said what a lot of other people are thinking”?! 😂 you went ahead and wrote my comment for me!
@@daniellembadu 🤷🏾♀️🙃🤣
@@daniellembadu I’m pretty sure in my How I Cling video I said I couldn’t list fasting because I didn’t do it enough. That rampart has been no joke! Got me fasting more than ever in life. Lol
This was a much needed video! I was on a praise high during the fast and thought I had a breakthrough. But then I felt this let down immediately following the fast that made me question whether the breakthrough was real or not. I believe that was enemy attack and Gods wants me to keep moving forward with hope and trust.
Yes, sis, move forward with hope and trust. So often we don't understand the why's but you can KNOW that God is with you and He is faithful. Blessings to you! 💚🙏🏾
That tends to be the typical outcome whenever I fasted (which by the way had not been often and the reason why I am trying develop this discipline atm).
Thank you for this bc I often felt very bad and that I am not doing it correctly and often made any further attempts difficult to embark upon.
If you can, maybe in a future vid, discuss how you typically structure your day/s of fasting? I am so greatly challenged by this. Thanks in advance for any sort of advice. Much 💜🇹🇹
Very good 👌🏽 & eye opening.
Thank you so much for this timely message. I felt the same as you at the end of my first. Your message helped me understand the reward of my desire to seek God more even if I didn’t receive the clarity I wanted on certain things.
Wow, praise God. I'm so grateful that you were able to see the reward of seeking God more. He is faithful! Thank you for sharing. Blessings to you! 💚🙏🏾
Always so good, Sis. Great insights on fasting. No matter the catalyst, the ultimate point/goal/outcome is the CLING! #Clinglife
AMEN! Blessings to you, sis! 💚🙏🏾
AMEN SIS!!! Amen 🙏🏽🙌🏾 I also fasted in January for 21 days and experienced spiritual warfare/attacks. At the end, I was like 👀👀 Where’s my breakthrough at Lord? 😂😆 But seriously, I feel like I became more disciplined as far as dedicating time/space for God. And I felt refreshed when it was over. Thank you so much Sis for sharing your experience. I’m looking forward to incorporating fasting as a regular part of my cling life as I endeavor to draw nearer and develop intimacy with the Lord (although it still causes me some trepidation 🙃). So grateful for your encouragement and prayers. Much love and many blessings to you and yours! 🥰🤎🙏🏽🤎
Look at you, sis! I remember you talking about the trepidation but I'm rejoicing with you that you were fasting and became more disciplined in dedicating time/space for God! 🙌🏾🙌🏾 Sis, given your trepidation.....that's a breakthrough! Seriously, claim that! God is like, I've got THIS for you, and it's amazing. Blessings to you, sis! 💚🙏🏾
First time listening, totally enjoyed, message was right on time.
Blessings ❤️🫂
I needed this! Excellent teaching my sister! This was my breakthrough!
Praise the Lord! I'm so thankful that He would use this video in that way. He is faithful. Thank you for sharing this, bro. Blessings to you! 🙏🏾
Thank you so much Kim, much encouraged. Blessings.
So thankful to God. Blessings to you! 🙏🏾
Wow, thanks for this video
I truly needed to hear this! Thank you 👍🏾
So thankful to God, sis! He is faithful, Blessings to you! 💚🙏🏾
Hey sister Kim! What YAHUAH has shown me after coming off a16 hour fast( this was my very first water only fast) that I can do all things through CHRIST. Unfortunately I didn't make it to my 24 hour goal but I was given a peace about it though I had failed. I learned that it wasn't just about the discipline and obedience of fasting, but relying on HOLY SPIRIT which IS the CLING!🙌📖❤🙏
Amen, sis! Relying on the Holy Spirit is EVERYTHING. Praise God that you learned that. I know you had a goal but I wouldn't count it a fail when THAT was your outcome. Blessings to you! 💚🙏🏾
@@kimcashtate Your words are such confirmation! I was given a HOLY SPIRIT pep talk from LORD concerning this! Nope, no failures, only victories!💯
@@turklatasha191 Yes and AMEN! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Your insight and encouragement is so appreciated. This message is so rich and good. God is so good and so faithful. Thanks, Kim!! #clinglife
Susanna, I'm so thankful to God that it resonated with you. He really is so good and so faithful. Blessings to you, sis. 💚🙏🏾
I can’t thank you enough for sharing this!
I have been a Christian for many years, always eager to find more truths, bout who God is. But one thing I have avoided is fasting, I don’t know how I can handle that. I also don’t know if you drink soups or water, or is there a right way. I love my food and don’t know how I can go with out eating. If I don’t eat when I am hungry I get a head ack and get angry ..... I am a boredom eater. I always hear good thing happening , and I do want to draw closer to God ....but fasting is a frightening thought for me .
I too fasted for 21days in January corporately with my church. I was like you. Expected to receive what I prayed for but not really. So I felt like I did something wrong. Or I didn't do enough hours or I wasn't committed enough. In the end, though, I didn't regret doing it, I just didn't get THAT break.
Thank you so much for this teaching.
Blessings to you! 🙏🏾💚
Keep'em coming!! 😇💌
I must say, I was like, OKAY, Kinda Like, What Now.... 🤔🙏🏽
This is truth... thank you...🙏🏾
💚🙏🏾
Hi Kim. I see you trying to pop up when I'm doing an assignment. So I'm stopping. 😩😂
Aww I need to catch you when you’re free and clear! 😂💚💚
@@kimcashtate lol those times are few and far between nowadays so...🤷🏾♀️
Yes sis my hunger is growing for the Lord!
And I’m like okaaay 😂
I was doing the Esther fast but i can't complet it the last day was difficult for me thank for this video
Kim I have never Fasted, due to my health, Heart, prediabetic, Blood Pressure and cholesterol, been told I could fast because I take medications, could you please give me a suggestion. Thank you in advance, God bless you ⚘
Thank you for this. You said you fasted for 21 days, can you please share what kind of fast that was exactly? if you don't mind :)
21 days without food?
For healing of your body you should do a 72 hour fast every month. You wil see the results in time.
Hey Kim, 👋🏾 Thanks for the video I can get used to this. That shirt looks good on you is green your favorite color? 💚💜
Grace and Peace
Hey Gail! Actually purple has been my favorite color since I was a young girl. But green is the Cling color so I use green hearts. :) Grace and peace to you as well! 💚🙏🏾

Hi Kim. Where can I get the Cling T-shirt you’re wearing? 🥰
