| My Experience With Dry Fasting by azammi(op): 12:53pm On Feb 06, 2021 |
First Experience Forgive any error I had a three days water fast , I was planning on going for a week but I could only last for three days. So I started first on Monday but the sweet smell of beans coming from the kitchen changed everything it was as if my sense of smell increased and I could now fully imagine how the food will taste on my tongue , it was bad if it was the devil working he was doing overtime cause my entire brain changed and the time was just after four . No blame me but I freestyle my third prayers ran into the kitchen my bro as almost shared all the beans but I found small in the pot and some kept for my sis (that one don’t like beans) so I ask her o she told me to take it I joined it with mine but what marveled me was that immediately I put that beans into my mouth I felt DIRTY I can’t explain it , like I was pure before and all of a sudden I became DIRTY and it was like also something left or was stolen from me but I can’t explain how , I regretted eaten the beans cause all throughout that day I felt like something was taken away or stolen from me. Anyone with the kind of experience should please help me understand it . Posting about the three days fasting later |

Don't be too hard on yourself. If at first you don't succeed, try again. God bless. |

jesusjnr2020:Lol.. you took the words right out my mouth. The guy is being too hard on himself. |

Op, you don't really need that feeling of guilt. stop the self condemnation and try it again. This time with determination and stay away from anywhere you are likely to get tempted. If you see they are cooking and it's not yet time to break, go out or to church and pray away. |

That's why I like to isolate myself when I am on a long fast. Temptations abound a lot when you fast living with much people. When you break a fast prematurely, it's falling down during a 100 meters race. What do you do when that happens? You dust yourself up and keep running. |

First of all, fasting is stage by stage. You can't just jump into a 3 days water fast when you have not been fasting for long before. Let me tell you the history of my fasting. I am a food lover, like I don't joke with food and God knew it, I'm not sure I have ever fasted since I was born, when I became a born again, I said I will be fasting once in a month, then it will be 12am-1pm dry fasting, that day was hard, very hard for me, but I was determined, I finished the fasting by 1pm, my throat was parched, I even had sore throat, I coughed all through that evening. It didnt stop me, I kept doing fasting and breaking it by 1pm, I was training my body to get used to fasting. Then as time went on, I moved to breaking my fasting by 3pm. Then I was even taking water during the fast, just small water. I did it for long, I even did 1week breaking by 3pm, this time without water. My body has already adjusted to dry fasting. Then I moved to breaking my fast by 6pm, without taking any water. That is what I do now. I have not done 3 days water fasting, but I will do it in the future when I'm ready. Don't be too hard on yourself, do the fasting your body can carry, its better you break your fast by 3pm and do the fasting successfully, than for you to plan a 3 days fast and break it when its not time, its bad. I personally know my body can't carry 3 days dry fasting for now, I know and when people say they do it, I tell them you guys are trying but for now I am not able to, Does it mean I won't grow spiritually? No it doesn't. You intention matters. Life is stage by stage, same with spiritual things. |

judedwriter:The guy is not determined, if he is determined, he won't even bother about the food, I have prepared two different meal during fasting and I served the meal to my family, it didnt enter my mouth, I didnt even taste the food when preparing it but it came out delicious , they didnt even know I was fasting.One needs to be determined when it comes to the things of God. |

Nuttella:I’ve done 3days fasting without water twice , I started with a full day without water but I wanted to go for a week water fasting I don’t know why it was different this time it was like there was something in the food |

azammi:You were not determined this time. I remember when I was doing a 3 days dry fasting to break by 6pm. I sang lots of songs and prayed throughout that day, then I slept and woke up, my throat was parched, it was already 4pm, devil was now telling me to go and take a sip of water, just a sip, I resisted the devil and waited till 6:01pm. |

Nuttella:Hmmm... You are strong oooo.... As for me, I don't like being around food when I'm fasting ![]() |

When you fast, do you just fast? There must be a reason why you fast and there your mind should be! I'm not good with fasting, but even with the little I do, revelations abound and answers are poured out from the heavens. I've only done a day dry fast and I couldn't even sleep throughout that day lolz! Let your mind be grounded on the reason you fast, if not, gladly enjoy your food. The best fasting is to give your food to the hungry, help the needy and render help to those you can assist. |

judedwriter:Food plenty for my house, so if you are in my house that means you won't fast, that's how they use food and spoil me. The only temptation I have during fasting is water. I avoid water eh, that's why I'm not sure I can do 3 days dry. I get thirsty easily. |
