Is awesome to see that our God has called many of us to fast from our phones/social media ❤ I am on day 7 of my 40 day social media fast. I deleted , Facebook, Instagram,TikTok and all gaming apps from my phone and only kept KZfaq because that is where I listen to worship music and sermons. The first day was horrible and hardest but I've been having such a good time with God so far, my ears have been more opened to the sound of his voice and on day 2 while I was listening to instrumental soaking Christian music on KZfaq, I was able to experiencea breakthrough and for the first time ever I was able to worship God in the spirit... and let me tell y'all, It was AMAZING!!. I pray God gives you all the will power to push through your fasts and experience breakthroughs during or after fasting 🙏🏽 ❤

Im on week 4 and I feel completely fine without it! Prioritizing certain aspects of my life such as focusing on school, working as a nurse, my self-care, my family, and of course using this season to grow spiritually with the Lord. It feels great to remove the root of what makes you envious of others that you miss the mark on your blessings, that root, to me, is social media. I’m starting to find new and healthy hobbies such as studying theology ( from the Bible of course ), Bible journaling, worship, and having long convos with God!

3:50 Oh my goodness!! Lucy is looking so much like Lokelani, she is absolutely adorable. This video had so many great pointers, {Psalm 119:37} "Turn my eyes away from worthless things; preserve my life according to your word." Social media (unless being used to spread the Gospel) is a timewaster. We as Christians need to be spending time away from screens and picking up hobbies that work our Spirits or bodies. We could read the Bible, or learn to roller skate, or we can learn how to paint and worship God through art. Its the little things that we can implement God in that makes our day centered around Him. May God bless you Alex, Lokelani & family and this ministry that is being used by God to strengthen the body of Christ and place us into community. I just pray that God protects you both and continues to give you fresh revelation to draw you in deeper, in Jesus Name. {Numbers 6:24-26} "May the LORD bless you and keep you; may the LORD cause His face to shine upon you and be gracious to you; may the LORD lift up His countenance toward you and give you peace.’" {2 Thessalonians 3:16} "Now may the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. The Lord be with all of you." God bless and have a great day :)

I’ve recently decided to let social media go permanently. It was mastering my life and keeping me away from God. Today makes 1 week since I’ve made that decision and I don’t even miss it, I never needed it. It’s just that I was comforted by the dopamine hit. After a long day I would use social media to relax and unwind instead of reading my Bible as relaxing or listening to worship music. I prayed and asked God to refill my spirit and repented because I was the one who drained my spirit because I wasn’t supplying myself with the things of God. Doing this has allowed me to be still and God heard and answered my prayer to be healed from the damaged my use of social media has inflicted on me, that is- a short attention span, comparing myself to others, seeking validation and pretty much an addiction. I’m not all the way there yet, I do have some desire and curiosity to take a peek at it but I have to be steadfast and feed my spirit more.

Again I know I’m not technically following the given model but, I’m hoping I change, not sure where I wanna grow but I enjoy fasting, thinking and praying on my free time to say thanks is more frequent. Just a suggestion btw :) big tip: Christian youtubers can blow your mind a lot to help make the hours go by easier lol!

Hi! Could any brothers or sisters give me some advice on this, About 2 months ago I kinda felt like Jesus wanted me to fast for a week so I kinda did (I gave up halfway through then finished it out eventually) and about 3weeks ago I felt on my heart that Jesus wanted me to fast so I did. The second time I started prayer pacing and I felt so much peace after I walked with God. Now I can’t really tell if He wants meto fast again. I think so but I’m not sure. Mainly because I listen to the voices in my head and sometimes I second guess if it was really God who told me something. The other reason for me not wanting to fast is my family’s reactions. I really don’t want them to be like “why are you fasting again”. Because I’m unsure myself. My family love the lord and they would encourage me but I still don’t want the questioning 😩💖

@lizelihu53702 жыл бұрын
Hey, it’s really admirable that you have this desire to follow the "right" God. I know your question isn’t adressed to me, but I encourage you to read the Bible in order to learn more about Jesus and the God that christians are devoted to. Here is a brief overview of the difference between the christian God and other deities. In many religions, the believers need to accomplish rituals and live a “good life” in order to please their god and to wash away their sins / their evil way of living. But the God that is presented in the Bible is a God that is completely aware of our sinful nature. And He knows that whatever the ritual or “good deeds” that we do in our life, we‘ll always fall short from His glory and will never be able to please Him, on our own. That’s why He sent Jesus on earth. By living the sinless life that we can’t live and by taking our sinful life onto him when he was sacrificed on the cross, Jesus became the *THE* way for us to go to God. Jesus became like a bridge between God and the people who believe in him. Jesus restored the relationship between God and man, which was broken because of our sin. And no one and nothing else can restore this relationship, except him. So I strongly encourage you to read the Bible, which is inspired by God. Maybe start with the Gospel of John, of Matthew, of Luke and of Mark, as they carry the words that Jesus spoke when He was on earth. Then, read the rest of the New Testament, which illustrate the life of early Christians, the struggles of Christian life, the victory and the grace that is available for us, and prophecies concerning Jesus’ return on earth. And finally, read the Old Testament, which will help you further understand the character of God, and how over a period of thousands of years He prepared Jesus’s coming and sacrifice on this earth in order to deliver humans from their sins and restore His relationship with them. Reading the Bible in this particular order is not mandatory of course, but I believe it will help you better understand the christians’ God to whom you want to devote yourself. And pray! Ask God to help you understand what you read and to speak to you... and He will :)
