I am fasting 3 days now with master cleanser/ lemonade, aiming for 40 days. so far it’s just made life harder. I’m fasting and praying, and the thing I want for my wife is her health back, she’s been sick 13 years now since she was a teen. I’ve pleaded with God for 7 years to heal her. This is my attempt at asking God to reveal himself to me. Please pray for me as this has been most challenging for me.

That was beautiful, I've been homeless for year's and God bless me to own my home. Now I help a homeless Lady on my route and it seems like Blessings just keep coming to strengthen me and you preached on this topic has tears in my eyes. I Thank God for Jesus Christ and his grace and mercy. Be blessed

My testimony: we had no vehicle for 9 months and it greatly affected my husband who worked a great distance away. I was upset with another believer and chose to pray for her one day. God gave me an instruction : give to Monika this massive and perfect yellow rose, surrounded by many small head of roses (the only one growing on my diseased tree). As I obeyed God's instruction, He gave us a car within 24h.

Let us remember Pastor Evans and His family as they bereave the homegoing of His Queen of many years, i.e. first lady / sister Evans. Many GOD comfort them during this challenging time. Amen.

It’s so crazy how God works!! I’m fasting currently and i kept talking to God about how i don’t feel connected even though im supposed to. And i was saying that i felt like i was doing something wrong, and for God to show me if i’m doing things right or wrong. This videos was brought to me and answered what i’ve been looking for ❤ Amen❤❤ GOD IS GOOD!!!!

Jesus looked up from the cross and said why has thou forsaken me but then he looked to the side and comforted the thief on the cross❤️🌹

[brittneyjohnson]

Wow, 3 years later and his word is on time for me today..

I was listening to this yesterday on the way home from work... My body went totally numb and I started cry like a baby.I felt a sense of peace..I believe he was talking to me..

We don't fast to get his attention. We fast because we have it already.

[kholiweaminibuthelezi]

I didn't know I needed to hear this but I'm glad I heard it. I hear you God and I'll do as instructed 🙌🏾

[maviswiggins]

This word on fasting is an on time word for me. I have been fasting without results because i was doing it all wrong. I now understand it was my kind of fast and not the kind of fast God chose. Thank you Dr. Evans for your wisdom and how you explained fasting that a child could understand. I understand the correct way to getting kingdom results to us on earth is by doing for others this is what pleases God and gets His attention to do. May God continue to bless you and your family.

[lamantharichardson]
