As we know, fasting and praying is a stronger means of reaching out to God.

I'll go first;
On that day, i
I didn't really plan to fast but I just felt the need to do it. I began on this day and concluded it on the third day.

My experience On the first Day of My Fast: I feared that I might not have strength to stay without food so my first prayer point was about me begging God for a supernatural strength to carry on with the fast.

My Experience On The Second Day;
It was like I was going to die. I felt the need for food badly. I was in my family house then, so I was even more tempted when I saw family members eating but I was able to avoid all that by God's grace

My Experience On The Third/Last Day Of My Fast;
On this day, it was like I had no need for feed at all. My body had suddenly miraculously adapted to going without food. I was the one who just decided to break the fast on that day.

So that's my longest fast for now, a 3 days fasting. I hope to accomplish more.
N.B: You can go about your daily routine as usual even while fasting but the main point is obeying God's word the more and reading his word backed up with prayers at intervals.
Happy Sunday.

Prayer points for fasting and prayer;
I believe and declare that I am a born again Child of God. I am born again through the living Word of God that lasts forever. Ref.: 1 Peter 1:23


All my sins are forgiven and washed by the Blood of Jesus. I am redeemed according to the riches of God's grace. Ref.: Ephesians 1:7


I am in Christ, therefore I am a new creature. My past is forgotten, the old things are gone and everything is new. Ref.: 2 Corinthians 5:17


God has rescued me from the power of darkness and He brought me into Jesus' Kingdom. Ref.: Colossians 1:13


My flesh is crucified with Christ. I am not the one living now, but Christ is living in me. I live by faith in Christ, the Son of God. Ref.: Galatians 2:20

3 days dry fasting given to me by a pastor. It wasn't easy though but I completed it. After the fasting, I visited a priest and shared my fasting experience with him. Guess what, he was mad at me. He warned me never to engage in such fasting again. That whoever adviced me to embark on 3 days dry fasting is wicked and evil. He asked me what if I develop a serious illness on the process. I learnt from it. Since then, I can't fast more than 12 hours without food. I love Catholic priest, they don't deceive people like some half baked pastors do.

3 days straight, no food no water.
I was part of a fast which lasted from Thursday to Saturday.

The most difficult time of the fast was after the first day, from around 1-2am. Later that morning, I tried not to slip and fall in the hotel bathroom where we lodged. grin But you know, when spirits are united together in a cause, there is strength to persevere. By day 2 it was a lot easier.

And then there were several looooong prayer sessions, speakers, workshops etc.

This wasn't my first long fast. I had fasted 2 days straight, all by myself. I want to a certain Catholic monastery to pray all by myself. There was no problem o. I just sensed some events and changes that would occur in the near future that needed to be handled in prayer.

I recall one foolish man in the room I lodged was trying to form fake Prophecy for me grin SMH.
He probably thought I had committed a crime somewhere and came to hide or pray to avert trouble. grin grin grin

Re: What's Your Longest Period Of Fasting And How Was It Accomplished? by chinoify: 9:10am On May 03, 2020
I have done so many and still doing at different times but what helped was this book written by Franklin Jentezen *Fasting*..
The 3 most difficult I could remember are.. Let me share and encourage someone that fasting and prayers still works..


1. 21 days of no food, only water. I fasted and prayed about my future and the 20th day, God revealed to me my assignment here on earth. I have not lacked or missed a step ever since.


2. 200+ days of normal 6 -6 fasting, My wife was pregnant of our second baby and had different complications day after day. Two of us are Medical Lab scientist and had to agree that its becoming spiritual.... WHen i began fasting, her condition almost became normal. That night during labour, she drove to the clinic where she works, and acording to her story, she delivered in less the 10 mins of entering the hospital and left the hospital after an hour. People where like madam.. you can't drive.. rada rada... until a friend drove her home. I came back to her after 4days from my place of work.


3. 90+ days of normal 6 -6. I applied for YOUWIN grant during GEJ's regime. The total amount i applied for was #9.2M. I started fasting and praying until i was called to Aso rock, awarded the best Business plan from North East and a cash of 500k from First bank and also given the exact amount i wrote #9.2M in batches to expand my business.

Iam a fan of fasting and prayer works and its still working.

Good morning my christian brothers and sisters. Please I need answers to the following questions.
my questions would be taken from the book of Genesis.

Genesis. 3:14 So the Lord God said to the serpent:
"Because you have done this,
You are cursed more than all cattle,
And more than every beast of the field;
On your belly you shall go,
And you shall eat dust
All the days of your life".

Questions:
1. Snake feed on rodents and not dust. Why?
2. Earthworm go on belly. Why? Because earthworm never offended God.
3. If it was Satan who passed through a snake to deceived Eve, why is snake punished to go on belly and eat dust instead of Satan?

I have fasted for two days without food and water.

The reason for the fasting, was to draw Gods attention, so that he will help me gain admission into the university.

After staying at home, for three years, fetching water, drinking Tea and eating Egusi soup, I summoned courage to do that fasting.

Mine is 3 days. If am to start the fast, let's say tommorow, I will eat less today and drink more of water, so that my body can easily adapt as the fasting goes by. However, I always ask God to strengthen me before, during and even after the fasting.
