Fasting Testimonies

I am new at these, but in faith, reaching out to all my brothers & sisters in our Lord Jesus Christ, I humbly request for your prayers for my family, my mother, father, brother, niece and myself. Please pray that my mother and father be completely blessed with long, healthy, blessed lives, my mother needs to undergo a major operation for the removal of 2 tumors found in her ovary. I am the breadwinner of my family and I need to send money home soon for all the medical expense, but I don't know where to get money as my debts exceeded my salary. Though Im working abroad, it is not that easy to save money as I have a lot of bills to pay. Please pray that I be given special favor financially and that all will be well with each and everyone in my family and even with my job as 4 of my colleagues were terminated and there are some rumors that the company I am with might shut down. Please I highly covet your prayers.

Thank you all very very much.

God bless you and your families richly.

Fasting is powerful but dont fast out of selfish ambitions.God knows our hearts and He answers whether or not you fast.The just shall live by faith.If you have an impression from the holy Spirit to fast then fast.Fasting is a tool to get you much mor closer to God and being able to hear in stillness.Fasting is denying yourself,when you fast you shuold stay away from anything that gratifies your flesh.Moses fasted to have a closer relationship with God.Is58 God desires that his people born of His Spirit may know his ways and do whats right.Fasting is not suppose to be done when one faces challenges but as christians followers of Christ we should live a fasted life.A life of continueous yielding and submission.There are requirements tied to fasting read the whole chapter of Isaiah 58.God says my people perish because of lack of knowledge(my people are cut off because of lack of knowledge.We become disqualified because we dont have understanding and we know in part.Fast indeed but dont forget to carry the presence you receive from him when you seeked him day and night.Dont be like the 10 lepers that were healed and only 1 came to worship him.I believe with anyone trusting God for clear direction,healing,deliverance and ect...God is the same yesterday,today and forever He will surely answer you because of his love and name sake.Be strengthened by God's grace because anything spiritual you do you need spiritual strength to do it as in the natural you need strenth to do anything.NB the is no weakness in us only what is seen in the natural is called weakness.May His face shine upon you and you dwell with him in His glory.God is LOVE...He cannot deny you because he'll be denying Himself.

my husband is not saved and I want to fast for his salvation

I'd been on a very light food fast: juice, wheat bread, perhaps some fruit... it was not bread and water or a nothing fast. I learned He honors what we honor and I didn't feel like just bread and water; if you know what I mean.

SoOoo no meat, nothing sugary, no wine, etc. The goal was for three days which I did with joy. But nothing happened. I didn't feel any different like I had at other times where there were almost plateus of enlightenment, joys, etc. I was confused but knowING Him, maybe I had to do something!?

Last day and I finished my fast. I was walking down the corridor to the linen closet and I paused before I opened it, frustrated. *Lord I'm holding you to your word. What's up?* and said "What's up Lord?" This was voluntary, "I just did it to be closer to you, won't you honor that?" "I know you and I know us so what gives?" "This isn't you." That was all I said.

As soon as I touched the handle of the door I stopped and *IT* happened!

The only way I can describe it, is like somebody put a hole in my heart the way you'd stuff a torpedo into it's space but this one was about the diameter of a pencil and out of this portal came pouring out, in a concentrated form - holiness, grace, love, sweetness, joy, peace, strength and a rainbow of mercies He lavished upon me. It was like a thick caramel river from heaven that even sugar couldn't touch. IT was AWESOME< HOLY< AMAZING GRaCE<

I am currently seeking the Lord as to if I should go on an extended fast. The longest I've done recently is a 3 day with water and juice (I work full time and can't take off of work for fasting).I've been married just a year and my husband who claims to be a Christian has some area's that I'd like God to touch. My concerns about my husband Ron are: He drinks several beers every evening everyday of the week. ALthough he doesn't appear to be an alcoholic I feel that this is not glorifying to God. I do not bring this up to him because Ron is a very stubborn and verbally lashing man. He will immediately accuse me of judging and scream and yell at me. I've been married before and do not want to leave or be divorced again. I decided before leaving that I would give this marriage some time before God. Ron hangs out with non christian men who drink to drunkeness, smoke pot and play poker for money. Ron says he doesn't drink around them and he has never smoked pot that he hangs with them only for the card game and winning some money. I also feel gambling is not something God would be to pleased about. Ron is also verbally abusive to me at times. He snaps at me and has even called me names. When he is having good days he is the most wonderful man I ever met. We had a great dating experience and he was very affectionate with me. Ron also doesn't want sexual intimacy with me very often and I am an attractive woman. I keep myself well and haven't changed in size or style since meeting him. Ron claims that the "initial" sexual excitement is no longer there and that we just won't have that anymore and it only exists in new couples. I disagree. God made sex for marriage and God has blessed the marriage bed. WIll someone please support me with what I am going through ? I need christian friends right now to help me through this. I am in counseling to learn to stand up for myself against him and it is going better but Ron needs God and Ron needs to have a life changing experience with God. Ron is being a"complaicent" christian who goes to church on Sunday and doesn't have any further spiritual walk Monday through Saturday. Please pray God will radically save his soul and give him passion for Christ our savior.

i'm going to fast on 30/10/07 and 31/10/07 for more faith and the manifestation of the gifts of the Holy Spirit in my life. Please pray for me too during this period.

Fasting will not change God--It will you change you. God already has his plan in place for you. God has already supplied you victory and answers for you life. As you fast you are dedicating yourself to God, as you do you are going to become more sensitive to what He has done and which direction he is leading you. God has already blessed us in heavenly place in Christ. Fasting will clear out all the soulish noise and corruption we gather from the world so we can connect to God.

In Matt 17 the disciples asked why they could not cast out the sickness and cure the boy? Jesus said BECASUE OF YOUR UNBELIEF. Then he told them how to deal with the unbelief---FASTING AND PRAYER! It will clear out every thing so you can hear from God. AND YOU WILL.

I would like to start fasting as from 4/10/07 for 3 days. I am fasting for more faith and my immigration status in this country. I would like God to help me make the right decision and not regret what ever decision I make. Please pray for me that I don't fall on the wayside while I am fasting.
