00:00:00
if you don't fast correctly the
00:00:01
guarantee of having benefit is not there
00:00:04
you can only receive the benefit of
00:00:05
fasting when you fast
00:00:07
correctly God does not move because you
00:00:09
fast you are the one who moves and so if
00:00:12
you separate yourself from food and you
00:00:14
don't move in the direction of God
00:00:15
through prayer any other thing you do at
00:00:18
that time the impact will be stronger
00:00:20
because at that time your spirit is
00:00:21
sensitive if you watch a movie at that
00:00:23
time a demon of loss can enter you
00:00:26
because your antenna is sharp the moment
00:00:29
you start fasting and mortifying the
00:00:32
flesh you will notice that spiritual
00:00:34
sensitivity begins to increase and so it
00:00:36
is foolishness to fast without praying

welcome to my channel like And subscribe
00:00:42
to this channel share this video and
00:00:44
make it go viral thank you so the first
00:00:47
thing you need to know about fasting is
00:00:49
that we fast
00:00:51
always we don't fast in January we don't
00:00:54
fast when Church declare fasting if
00:00:56
Church declares fasting that is good but
00:00:59
whether they declare it or not we live
00:01:01
fasting we live a fasted life that's the
00:01:04
secret of victory in this realm ask
00:01:06
anybody making genuine impact you can
00:01:09
make impression and people will look at
00:01:11
you and assume things are happening Time
00:01:13
Will Reveal that that thing is fake if
00:01:15
what you are doing is genuine you must
00:01:17
put fasting at the foundation if it is
00:01:19
not there it will fail how do you fast
00:01:23
number one when you
00:01:25
fast basically fasting like you know is
00:01:28
to starve yourself from distraction
00:01:31
including food in order to seek God
00:01:33
that's what fasting is star yourself of
00:01:37
distractions both illegitimate and
00:01:39
legitimate distractions in order to
00:01:42
allow you time to seek God so if you are
00:01:44
not seeking God you're not fasting it
00:01:45
could be hunger strike are we together
00:01:48
but in addition to avoidance of such
00:01:51
things there are a few things that must
00:01:52
be added to that starving process while
00:01:55
you are yet seeking God and that's what
00:01:57
I mean when I say how do you fast you
00:01:59
fast
00:02:00
with righteous
00:02:02
living if you are
00:02:04
fasting and your life and your lifestyle
00:02:07
is not consistent with the standard of
00:02:09
righteousness stop you're wasting your
00:02:11
time God will reject you so fasting is
00:02:15
not just a time of avoiding
00:02:18
food it's actually a time of calling
00:02:21
your attention to righteous and just
00:02:24
living because it is that just living
00:02:27
that validates that fast before God many
00:02:30
persons are fasting they are oppressing
00:02:32
the house
00:02:33
GE the child is eating chicken the house
00:02:36
GE is drinking G without
00:02:38
sugar you you just went on hunger strike
00:02:40
for 40 days you didn't fast because that
00:02:43
Wicked act will make God abh that your
00:02:47
fasting in his
00:02:48
realm somebody is fasting and is
00:02:51
suppressing his workers at work pay
00:02:54
salary you won't pay you carry their
00:02:56
money you put in fixed deposit you want
00:02:57
to generate some quick interest
00:03:00
why somebody's child is driven from
00:03:02
school why somebody has no food to eat
00:03:04
and you come to church you say you are a
00:03:06
spiritual person they call you a woman
00:03:07
of God you say bless you bless you you
00:03:10
are a wol in ship clothing a
00:03:12
wol you say you are fasting somebody is
00:03:15
laboring trying to make progress in life
00:03:18
and you are doing everything possible to
00:03:19
stop that person that thing is not
00:03:21
fasting don't kill yourself this is why
00:03:22
many people have
00:03:24
AA because the power of God does not
00:03:27
come the presence of God does not come
00:03:29
to Shield them if you go hungry for a
00:03:32
long time it can kill you the reason
00:03:35
that hunger does not affect your system
00:03:37
is because the presence of God comes to
00:03:39
Shield you why do you think Moses was
00:03:41
able to stay without food and water for
00:03:42
40 days it was because of the intensity
00:03:45
of the presence of God and so if you
00:03:47
don't fast correctly that excess hunger
00:03:50
will trigger a negative reaction that
00:03:52
will destroy you but if you fast
00:03:54
correctly that fasting can become even
00:03:56
of medicinal value Isaiah 58: 3-6 New
00:04:00
Living
00:04:02
Translation I want you to hear this
00:04:04
thing Let It sing so you don't just know
00:04:06
it but you practice
00:04:08
it get me the scripture
00:04:11
quickly Isaiah 58:3 to6 it say we have
00:04:16
fasted before
00:04:17
you why aren't you impressed they asking
00:04:22
God we thought you say you love fasting
00:04:24
we have fasted why are you not impressed
00:04:26
we have been very hard on ourselves have
00:04:29
you found some people people who fast
00:04:31
they want to literally kill themselves
00:04:34
because they think God is impressed when
00:04:35
they are live become dry like rock if
00:04:37
there's no righteousness God won't see
00:04:39
it they say we have not just fasted we
00:04:41
were hard on
00:04:43
ourselves and he say you don't even
00:04:46
notice
00:04:47
it and God answered I will tell you why
00:04:51
is because you are fasting to pleasure
00:04:54
to please yourself how can you be hungry
00:04:56
to please
00:04:58
yourself when the spirit is talking
00:05:00
sometimes it's is difficult to
00:05:02
understand how can you be hard on
00:05:03
yourself to please yourself what kind of
00:05:05
pleasing yourself is that I thought when
00:05:06
you want to please yourself you look for
00:05:08
a suculent environment that can create
00:05:10
some form of massage and relaxation how
00:05:12
can you be hard on yourself and you say
00:05:14
is pleasing yourself but a spirit
00:05:16
talking it say even while you fast you
00:05:19
keep oppressing your
00:05:21
workers so that fasting is wrong you are
00:05:25
fasting and you are oppressing your
00:05:26
workers go to the next
00:05:28
verse it's say what good is fasting when
00:05:31
you keep on fighting and quarreling they
00:05:33
said this kind of fasting will never get
00:05:35
you anywhere with me if it's me you are
00:05:38
trying to Journey with you have wasted
00:05:39
your time you will not go anywhere with
00:05:41
me go
00:05:43
next it say you humble yourself by going
00:05:47
through the motion of penance and I wish
00:05:49
I had time to tell you about Penance
00:05:51
what these people do when they are
00:05:52
fasting some people will go barefooted
00:05:55
and climb a mountain their whole leg
00:05:57
will be full of blister they are doing
00:05:59
Penance some is on their knee and they
00:06:02
will even be reciting some things on
00:06:04
their knees and they will climb a
00:06:05
mountain the whole Knee will be torn
00:06:07
with
00:06:07
blood and then the hope God will see it
00:06:10
and say my daughter my daughter I have
00:06:12
seen the way you for
00:06:16
yourself that is not the god of Heaven
00:06:19
God actually acknowledged that they
00:06:21
humbled themselves they say you humed
00:06:23
yourselves by going through the motion
00:06:26
of penance bowing your heads like e
00:06:29
bending in the wind he say you dress in
00:06:34
bollock and cover yourself with ashes
00:06:37
that is D
00:06:39
reputation so they did everything right
00:06:44
he say is this what you call
00:06:45
fasting is it by pour ashes on yourself
00:06:48
is it by Penance is it by humbling
00:06:50
yourself that's God talking he said do
00:06:52
you really think this will please the
00:06:55
Lord now go to the next
00:06:57
verse I'm showing you how to fast some
00:07:01
people think fasting is just about
00:07:02
avoiding food and then they come and say
00:07:04
I didn't eat for the first 14 days the
00:07:06
next seven days I drank only water and
00:07:08
then the last
00:07:10
day I I didn't eat anything God bless
00:07:13
you but God is not counting that yet
00:07:16
until this is gotten he said no this is
00:07:19
the kind of fasting I want he say free
00:07:21
those who are wrongly in prison lighten
00:07:24
the burdens of those who work for you he
00:07:26
say let the oppressed Go free remove the
00:07:28
chains that buying people you can't
00:07:32
claim you are fasting you are pulling
00:07:34
somebody down you are destroying
00:07:35
somebody he said to subvert a man in his
00:07:37
CA the Lord proth not so if you don't
00:07:40
want to waste your time better eat
00:07:42
healthy don't have quo until you have
00:07:45
done the right
00:07:47
thing how do you fast you fast with
00:07:50
prayers somebody is fasting he's
00:07:53
watching he gathers all the seasonal
00:07:55
movies thank God it's a week of fasting
00:07:58
he's looking for what to do to cover
00:08:00
time because after he prayed the third
00:08:02
time it was 10:40 a.m. and he supposed
00:08:05
to go up to 3:00 meanwhile 12 is like
00:08:08
Mount
00:08:09
Everest and so in order to Journey to
00:08:11
the top of the mountain without knowing
00:08:13
he's now substituting another
00:08:16
distraction with the distraction he took
00:08:17
away in form of food he will now go and
00:08:19
gather Prison Break he was season one to
00:08:23
season 3 the first two days of the fast
00:08:26
the next four days he goes to season 12
00:08:29
and then he will say ah we just canceled
00:08:30
14 days where are you going to Mount
00:08:32
Zion or you are going to
00:08:36
holywood this is why people have AER
00:08:39
fasting because they are not praying
00:08:41
they are not
00:08:42
studying in the New Testament almost
00:08:45
every time the word fasting is used
00:08:48
prayer is
00:08:49
harded I just quoted for you Matthew
00:08:51
17:21 this kind go not but by what
00:08:54
prayer and fasting when Jesus was
00:08:57
teaching about fasting in Matthew 6
00:08:59
prayer was was also taught there you
00:09:00
can't separate fasting from prayer
00:09:03
because when a man fasts he is trying to
00:09:05
seek the face of
00:09:07
God and so the fasting separates him
00:09:10
from worldly distraction it is the
00:09:12
prayer that carries him to the G God
00:09:15
does not move because you fast you are
00:09:16
the one who moves and so if you separate
00:09:19
yourself from food and you don't move in
00:09:21
the direction of God through prayer any
00:09:23
other thing you do at that time the
00:09:25
impact will be stronger because at that
00:09:27
time your spirit is sensitive if you a
00:09:29
movie at that time a demon of loss can
00:09:31
enter you because your antenna is sharp
00:09:35
the moment you start fasting and
00:09:37
mortifying the flesh you will notice
00:09:39
that spiritual sensitivity begins to
00:09:41
increase and so it is foolishness to
00:09:44
fast without praying because when your
00:09:46
antenna is sensitive that's when you
00:09:47
want to receive feedback and so the
00:09:49
second way to fast is to fast with
00:09:52
prayer if you know that your itinary is
00:09:54
too choked and you won't have time to
00:09:56
pray reschedule that fast
00:10:00
so you don't allow evil enter your soul
00:10:03
your soul is porous when you
00:10:05
fast the reason you pray when you fast
00:10:08
is because you want God to saturate you
00:10:10
if you don't give God time of prayer
00:10:12
something else can saturate you easily
00:10:14
and so fasting must be done with prayer
00:10:17
if there's no prayer it's not fasting
00:10:19
it's Su strike and I can tell you many
00:10:21
people go on 40 days fast all of the
00:10:24
prayer they pray put together is not up
00:10:25
to 3 hours in a 40 days fasting 4 days
00:10:30
they counted days but they never struck
00:10:32
CS in the spirit and they come back and
00:10:35
say they fasted for 40 days no you
00:10:37
didn't and so fasting must be done with
00:10:39
prayer when Jesus went to the Wilderness
00:10:42
to fast in Matthew chapter 4 the Bible
00:10:45
said he prayed and fasted for 40 days
00:10:48
and 40 nights Jesus didn't fast for 40
00:10:50
days Jesus prayed and fasted for 40 days
00:10:54
and 409s that's how it's done Believers
00:10:57
are marking time and not the spirit
00:11:00
and they say they are fasting this is
00:11:01
why you can't come out with the benefits
00:11:03
of fasting if you don't fast correctly
00:11:05
the guarantee of having benefit is not
00:11:07
there you can only receive the benefit
00:11:09
of fasting when you fast
00:11:11
correctly so in this video about Pastor
00:11:14
Mich he spoke about fasting and uh I
00:11:19
believe fasting is one of the
00:11:20
Misunderstood things in the body of
00:11:22
Christ today because personally I have
00:11:25
seen many people doing all kinds of
00:11:26
things all in the name of fasting but
00:11:29
this video Apostle have highlighted very
00:11:31
basic key point that should be carried
00:11:34
along along should be practiced anytime
00:11:37
we engage in the activity of fasting
00:11:40
first of all mention the act the issue
00:11:42
of righteousness you see it doesn't
00:11:44
matter what you think you are doing you
00:11:46
have to carry alongside with you the
00:11:49
lifestyle of righteousness for your
00:11:51
fasting to gain mileage in the spirit
00:11:52
and then second he mentioned prayer
00:11:55
fasting is not an isolated thing is
00:11:58
something that should be done with
00:11:59
prayer you know prayer is powerful when
00:12:01
it is mixed with fasting it strengthens
00:12:04
the power of prayer fasting comes to
00:12:06
strengthen the power of prayer so if
