Thank you, brother Tiff, for teaching the word of God 🙏💕

God's word is already settled in heaven, fasting & prayers just bring us into the will of the father, and align us with his will which is already settled in heaven. It is for us to accept God's will and be manifested, more than it's for any other reason. God's the same today yesterday & forever, he changes not! Amen❤Demons will flee! To fast in the flesh for days on end as some have can cause serious consequences if it is out of God's will, and out of his will. We can open our spirits to demon procession if we aren't careful! Amen Have a blessed New 2025❤

Great message brother Tiff. Would you consider making a video about the most difficult time in your life and how you overcame with the help of God ?

This was really helpful. Can you fast for two reasons, or do they need to be done separately?
