I did fasted to God for my daughter's doing drugs and he answered me.

I’m watching this when i’m on my 3 days of fasting. No food only pure water. if your desire is intent you won’t feel the hunger i’m still on the process of moving out carrying heavy stuffs and i believe the holy spirit is maintaining my energy not to pass out.

I decided to start a novena last week for a job. Alongside my novena, I’ve been fasting. I had a interview yesterday morning and was informed I got the job last night!!! God is good all the time. Fasting has always kept me grounded but denying my flesh AND praying has brought me so much peace this past week...and God answered my prayers!

“When we fast, we’re not moving the heart of God. We’re moving our heart towards God” love this!! How many times have I heard our Protestant brothers and sisters say we as Catholics think we have to do all of these things so God can love us more or to earn Gods love when that is not the case!

I find that fasting helps us to control impassiveness. The reason I do it is because I sacrifice a meal and say prayers instead; I swap out a meal for time with God.

When I was 14-16, I was overweighted (I overate a lot) and had a lot of problems with my chastity (masturbation) and had no (self-)confidence in my relationship with anyone. I was christian I attended to the mass each week, but I wasn't in harmony with God, with the Church and with the People. Furthermore I had rude debates with my parents who are not believer... When the Lent arrived I had decided to fast - 3 meals a day, meat only the Sundays during the 46 days and no masturbation. I haven't done for loosing weight, neither for chaising my demons away, my only motivation was fating for fasting as a "good catholic", a superhuman while I give all my human strenght in my misery to God. It's a Grace, that He gave me the physical and psychical healing by the fasting: as a consequence I changed to a healthier eating habit and lifestyle even after Easter, I started loosing weight, and I avanced a lot in my combat for my chastity. But I needed to wait for the second Lent to fulfill this healing, and that's the point when God asked my conversion. I was healed (or in a way of healing) in my body, but I hadn't loved till this moment. I was a proud catholic, but I had no idea how to love my neighbour - started with my parents. When we had a debate they often asked me the excruciating question: "What kind of christian are you?" I understood that being a "good catholic" is not only following the "rules" of the Church, like attending to the mass or fasting, but remaining in the love of the Son. (John 15 : 9-10) I admit that God healed me through fasting, but just cause of his Grace. He really prepared me to the way of love by the self-giving. And I arrived at WYD Panama2019 for my second conversion, 4-5 years after, by Mother Mary who let me enter in the mistery of the true self-giving (and indeed to the mistery of the Trinity), started by her YES (Luke 1 : 38). A lot of coincidence, that showed me how She was always present to me as a Mother, who gave me birth, a new life in the Christ Jesus, by the Holy Spirit. Two important event in the last year: 1) I read the book of Louis-Marie Grignion de Montfort - The True Devotion to Mary, which showed me how necessary is to offer all our belongings and value to Mary (like John Paul 2 - Totus Tuus), that I recommend to You, who read my testimony! 2) I visited to Medjugorje last summer, where I've found a well-lived catholic faith, and I witnessed a huge conversion in my group of prayer, started by my sister. When I realized that Our Lady in Medj asks us to fast (bread&water) each Wednesday and Friday (as it was recommended by Church and she had done as well according to the Didache), I started to eat moderatd those days, but nothing special, till I was proposed the bread and water fasting by a friend. I accepted it, just because I love my Mother, and it has been really one of the best school of obedience that accords me to grow as the child of God. (You know, the school of Mary in the Upper room before Pentecost ;) Acts 1;14) I witness each week the power of fasting, I give my testimony of all the demons chased and all the healings God gave me through the fasting, but I need to tell that the hugest gift is the Love I can share with Mother Mary, as she feeds me by all the teachings of God the Father, by His Son in the Holy Spirit! Don't be afraid to offer these days (or meals) of fasting by the Virgin Mary to God, this is really a way to the Holy Spirit to enter our lives! And don't forget, if you need somebody to fast with, the Church fasts with you all Wednesday and Friday. As it was said by Jackie and Kim, you shall start in little, but after don't be afraid, ask God to obtain the grace, to offer more and more, and ask Him the grace to become saints!

I want to fast to keep evil away from me. I find myself constantly surrounded by it. But I'm not going to lie: it's hard to fast when everyone in your family is chef Gordon Ramsey and Jamie Oliver. But I'll pray for God to give me strength.

I started a fast today. I have been praying for a breakthrough. I have many issues going on in my life and concerning my family etc. I need to make life-changing decisions. So, I decided I needed to add fasting to my prayer life.

Doing the fast is one thing. Doing the fast and offering it to Jesus for something is quite another

A book that really opened my eyes and my heart to this topic: Fasting by Jentezen Franklin

Every time I do a 54 day rosary novena, I give something up.

Also fasting to get our prayers answered!!🙏

It's my first day of fasting and I am doing this for the conversion of my husband and his family to the Catholic Church. I trust the Lord and I'll be patiently waiting for his answer. :)

It's a way to grow in times of struggle & trials, ensuring sacredness of Lord's love & sanctity of self.

I decided to move in faith by learning more about fasting and prayer, and soon do it properly.

More videos on fasting please. I want yo do it but i cant muster up the strength for it.

Praise the Lord Jesus Christ 🙏 Mother Mary Pray For Us 🙏Abba Father Bless us and we Adore You 🙏

Hey ladies, I am protestant, but it fills my heart with joy to hear the perspectives of some Spirit filled Catholic sisters! You are both 100% on par. I live in Paris and my son goes to a Catholic school and your video makes me feel good about that. I started fasting in 2020 and it's amazing. The 3 day water fasts have been absolutely revolutionary. I get closer to God and I get breakthrough. My mom was a strong Christian, but she did not know about fasting. I have learned about it from a Christian sister and am so glad. She did a 7 day fast for an issue praying for me and it is such an honor. I am currently doing a fast to ward off writers' block and to shed a spirit of failure. In a few weeks, I would like to fast to ask God to help me to stop gossiping. Thank you beautiful ladies and keep speaking the truth!

I decided yesterday to fast starting today, so I looked up fasting so I would do it correctly. This was the first video that popped up and I am so happy it did because it gives me the courage and strength to help me. This is my first time fasting so wish me luck. I will be doing a rosary 📿 for help also. I just needed a detox to cleanse my body and my soul. Thank you for this video ladies. God bless.

Praise God! Thank you. God bless "Draw our hearts to God" -Amen

Help me Lord to fast! 🙏

I pray all day everyday but I confess that I struggle so much with fasting. I've tried so many times but just end up eating too much afterwards. I've struggled with food all my life - mainly emotional eating. It's had it's grip on me for years and I feel convicted to share my struggle. Please come into agreement with me as I pray to be delivered from this vice. In Jesus name I pray 🙏 Amen

I am discovering the benefits of fasting not only with food that compulse me for all the thoughts and feelings that make me sin or make me act with another thing but love... it is hard but it is so effective because God listen my prayer and helps me to overcome the wrong, the bad, the sin and begin to be free.... THANK YOU FOR SHARING JACKIE AND KIM!!!

This answered all the questions I had for fasting I believe the father wanted me to watch this video glory to god thank you Jesus.

fasting is real and powerful form of prayer,amen

you two are awesome!!! I'm a recent convert to Catholicism and I love the Church beyond words. If people fasted and used that time to pray and honor God then obesity wouldn't be such a health crisis and we could have more resources to help the needy, not to mention Christ himself fasted for forty days in the wilderness

I NEED help in this area soooo bad!!! Please pray I can fast like I should! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼😢

There is so much joy in doing this!

Best explanation of fasting I've ever heard and I've listened to a lot!

So ironic that you were talking about the prayer almsgiving and fasting and today's missal is Matthew 6:1-6 16-18. God was speaking through you thank you ladies

Thank you, Jackie and Kim! ♥️

Ha. Yesterday, in my journal I wrote, Jesus, why am I so gluttonous in my eating? Taking way larger portions than I need. First of all interesting that the world “gluttonous” came to mind and second that I stumbled across this video. I feel guided.

Out of all the fasting and prayer videos on YT, this by far is the most grounded, balanced, and informative. Thank you for posting.

4:30 is a HUGE insight and needs to be spread around.

Everything is on point. I couldn't agree more. Thank you for helping me out. Fasting and Praying is really amazing. Grow closer with God everyone!

That was so helpful. I have never been good at fasting. I fast from sat.night until after holy communion. I never thought that was enough. I’m going to practice during the week and see how it goes. Thank you

Thank y’all so much for this! It really helped me to understand fasting better. God bless you! 🙂 Meline

There are so many things to fast for, I just want to fast forever! haha. I'm protestant, fasting has definitely broken things off of me, humbled my heart, drawn me closer to God, made me more patient and loving. Great video! Also I can see you ladies are so spirit filled!

Wow this is really profound and very helpful-- thank you both so much for your ministry!

wow such a timely video. Thanks Jackie and Kim

“We’re not moving the heart of God” 🙏💗 That is an important distinction and my misunderstanding so often 🙌

You Ladies are awesome! 🥺

Yes!!! Please more fasting videos! Thank you ladies!! Xoxox

I appreciate this video very much. Turns out I had some misconceptions about the gift of fasting. God has used you to bring clarity and understanding. I look forward to a beautiful 2021 Lent. Blessings to you, and thank you. ❤️

great video, thanks! we all have to be reminded that we have to do something for God.

Thank you for this explanation 💕

Thank you sisters!🙏❤️🙏

I literally watch this before almost every fast. Thank you guys 👍❤

Wow this was very informative. I knew as Catholics we should fast but I never thought of adding prayer for the things we are fasting for or the reasoning. Thank you!

I have been fasting for health reasons but recently couldn't do it and I asked God for clarity when it comes to spiritual fasting. I thought this might help me move forward in my spiritual life if I focused on prayer and fasting. Thank you, God answered my prayer through you to help me get started on this journey of moving closer to God. I would love another video, on this, perhaps an example of a typical fast and prayer day, fasting for someone else, an example? God bless.

Thank you. I really felt that you were speaking to me.

Thank you for the wonderful explanation. I just took up fasting & welcome your insights.

Thank you sisters. ❤

Thank you - I like when you said it’s to move our hearts💕, also pray and ask Mary to help. Go humbly , ask God and Trust He will lead. God Bless us all.

this has provided me so much clarity on fasting

This is so good!

Thank you for this video. I googled what Jesus says about Prayer and Fasting and your video came up. It is really good to watch people talking about something that is really important to them. It helps a lot. God Bless.

Loved this!

Thank you for the faith grow messages

Thank you very much . ⚘😊💓 Blessings . 🌷🌷🌷

Thank you so much! God bless😁

Thank you! This video has been so helpful.

Thank u both very much...this is my first time fasting ever...u both helped me understand and more confident to start 💙💙

God bless you !!!

I've always wanted to fast when I was praying to the Lord for big stuff. But then I would get thoughts like, oh you're just trying to manipulate God into doing what you want Him to do. I found your video tonite, and LOVED your comment --"We're not moving God's heart, it's moving our hearts toward God". And that helped me SO much! Thank you!!

I am trying to fast because I want to become even closer and thank you ladies for the suggestions

Thank you for this video. Very helpful. ❤️

Wow, thank you!

Oh my God never expected to hear this from these to beautiful souls, they are well infotrmed on fasting i learned a few things. May God give the modern christians the hunger to pray and fast.❤🙏

I feel so so depressed and lonely. Also having bpd .nothing as ever helped me.really enjoyed listening to this talk. I really want to get out of my pain and being a single man I really want to stop lusting. This is really causing me worry and harm. I want to become closer to god and think that more extreme water fasting will help

Wonderful message I carry on..

This was very beneficial. Thankyou

Enjoyed this!incredible

Thank you for your presentation. :)

Thankyou for this

Simple and to the pint , thank u 👍👍

At age 7, I remember my mom taking me to a small church in the hills of Manchester in Jamaica West Indies to fasting.

When we fast we have God's ear!

Great video, thanks for sharing! I'm a Protestant but love the channel, keep it up and God bless.

Drink water - what a great advice coz I am really suffering a headache right now. Thanks!

It has inspired me, thanks 🙏

Thank you for your help. I needed to hear this. Offering up to the Lord. I need his help . I am so struggling with this ... started a fast and keep failing. Help me Lord to deny myself and turn my focus towards holiness. I am blind but now I see. Thank you Jesus for helping me. NO shame in my game , God's property, fat or thin let me be lean within ... a fighting machine for the wisdom of the Lord.

Oohhh I get it now! I've been trying to figure out how to fast and what it is exactly. Thank u

Thank you ladies for this very informative video 🤍

Great video. Thanks for sharing

Good advice on fastingGod Bless

Thanks for the help. I'm a little slow when it comes to fasting.

3:24

Great video!

Thank you for your vedio on fasting Please do more on this topic 🙏

❤ Great info 👍

I did a few years of lenten observances by "adding" a 6 week (physician created) meal plan that is meant for eating very strictly during those 6 weeks. You eat healthy and excellently. It was the hardest fast (aka IF) I have ever done. It sounds counter intuitive, but I realized later that I was actually doing a traditional IF from around the medieval times. How weird is THAT? The food plan allowed for eating that one full meal per day (choices are numerous) and two smaller meals (in the form of protein smoothies). The meal choices can be without meat for Ash Wednesday, Fridays, and during The Triduum. The smoothies can use soy or other non-meat based proteins on those days as well. I, of course, also looked at other Lenten observances like prayer and almsgiving, but The Lord pointed me at this as my priority along with some other varying lifestyle modifications. Thank you for your video. 🛡️✝️🛡️ 🕊️🕯️🕊️

Talk to my spiritual director? I'm blessed if I can get to confession when I need to.

I need to pray over this. I really want to fast and to join in this form of prayer, but I do have an eating disorder, and a bad heart. I don’t know if I should try it to maybe overcome this, or if that intention would detract from the prayer. I hope one day to be in a place where I can fast and not have pride or vanity as an element in my mind. It has always sounded like a beautiful form of prayer

Great Stuff!

I'm gonna pray and fast for three days, for people suffering from PMO. 🙏 I've been chained to this for almost 7 years, if anyone out there is in the same state as me then please pray and fast for me too.

Great vid🙏
