Don’t sleep on fasting yalls. I finally decided to fast three days from Friday to Sunday, and yesterday I successfully completed it. That same night when I slept, I woke up in my first episode of sleep paralysis in months.
Skipping a few meals can open the doors to profound experiences. This testimony shows the power of fasting in our Christian walk.
The Power of Fasting
Fasting isn’t just about giving up food; it’s about creating space for God to move in our lives. As we deny our physical hunger, we open ourselves up to a deeper spiritual hunger. This testimony shows us just how powerful that can be.
Prayer*:* Lord, as we explore fasting, open our hearts and minds to Your presence. Guide us in our spiritual journey and protect us from any darkness we may encounter. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
A Spiritual Encounter
Our brother in Christ experienced something extraordinary after his three-day fast. He found himself face-to-face with spiritual forces, both dark and light. But here’s the kicker: his faith in Jesus was his shield and sword.
When confronted with a demonic presence, he didn’t hesitate. He proclaimed, ‘I bind you in Jesus name!’ And just like that, the darkness fled. This is a powerful reminder of the authority we have in Christ.
Discernment and Spiritual Warfare
Through this experience, our brother learned an important lesson about spiritual discernment. He was able to recognize the difference between the natural and the supernatural, even in his dreams. This heightened awareness is a gift that comes from drawing closer to God through fasting.
The Fruits of Fasting

** Increased spiritual sensitivity

A Call to Action
If you’re feeling inspired by this testimony, why not consider trying your own fasting journey? Remember, it’s not about the length of the fast, but the heart behind it. Start small if you need to, and always consult with your doctor if you have any health concerns.
As you fast, keep your heart open to what God might reveal. You may not have the same experiences as our brother, but you can be sure that God will meet you in your faithfulness.
A Word of Encouragement
To all the new believers out there, take heart! This testimony comes from someone who’s only been walking with Christ for about two years. It’s never too early (or too late) to dive deep into spiritual disciplines like fasting.
Remember, our God is a God of revelation. He delights in showing Himself to those who earnestly seek Him. So, whether you’re a seasoned saint or a fresh-faced follower, don’t neglect the powerful tool of fasting in your spiritual arsenal.
Let’s step out in faith, embrace the challenge of fasting, and see what wonders God has in store for us. Your next spiritual breakthrough might be just one fast away!
I think fasting is super cool, but there’s even more happening!
I can’t wait to see what God does next. It’s gonna be so exciting! Hold on tight, everyone – Jesus is doing big things! <3
