Your ultimate guide to spiritual fasting

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! ❤

I started fasting every sunday. It totally fixed my digestive system issues. No more heart burn.

I'm a firm believer in Fast and praying

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.

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 🙏🏽

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., )

[billgraveman]

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!

[philfrank]

Fasting without the focus on God isn't ideal...but it's a start. Fasting, prayers, almsgiving. Praise Jesus and God bless.

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 🙏

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

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.

Fasting not only gives you many healthy benefits but also builds discipline clears your mind bur lets you focus on more important things

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.

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

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

[scottmayhew]

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.

[roseolson]

Interesting answer, the honour of "get to" - I always thought we needed to - thanks for clarity over a new "why"

[michaeltiza]

Have installed tile and marble for almost 30 years. I fast from 10 at night until 3 or 4 the next afternoon. I take no over the counter drugs and no prescription drugs. Have done this for more than 10 years, everyday. Gets rid of inflammation which is what most pain is.
