You're taking this to two extremes. You can still be a Christian and live a happy and fulfilling life. Just because God wants you to do something doesn't mean you DON'T want to do it. If God calls you to be a preacher and you're happy doing it, then what's so bad about that? Or if God calls...

I truly believe that there's an agenda on not only Christians but society in general to suppress their health by hiding knowledge about what can really heal the body and mind, which is fasting. Instead, the elites and big pharma are pushing drugs and other therapies that only make them richer. I...

You can't blame God for everything and expect him to do everything for you. I know many of these things can be outside of your control but I believe you can see the world from a fresh set of eyes. I think that if you're in this downward spiral of a mental state you will continue to attract...

I love this message. The narrator is Jentezen Franklin. I read his book on fasting, it was really awesome. I had watched all his messages, and they confirm lots of things I've been experiencing before, during and after a fast. I also recommend Tak Bhana. He's a preacher in New Zealand, and...

Fasting is very very important, and I'm very glad you brought it up. Christians need to do it more, and equally as importantly do it together in a community. I really hope and pray that more of us do it this year for the sake of our fellowship with God, and his presence in America as our...

I've been doing several fasts for the past few months for several purposes, such as seeking after God's presence in my life, spiritual revival, discernment, and revelation of any habits I need to dismantle on my walk of faith. I've been getting a lot of awesome revelations from God each time I...

I've seen a whole spectrum of people and their pains in life, including my own. I noticed that regardless of what kind of pain they experience, the way they react to it makes all the difference. Rich and successful people who experience a little bit of pain end up killing themselves. Poor and...

First off I'm very glad you're doing a fast. Fasting is one of the most powerful ways we can grow, have more of God's presence in our lives, and even see new doors of opportunity being opened up for career, relationships, and more. I'm actually on the second day of a water only fast. There...

During your fast try to avoid social media and other trivial things as much as you can. Spend as much time possible with journaling, prayer, Bible reading, and watching sermons online. Fasting is a time to be introspective, focusing on God and your thoughts. When you are in a fasted state...

Sorry I made the same post multiple times. I clicked the "Post" button multiple times and it wouldn't let me get rid of the duplicates.

First off I'm very glad you're doing a fast. Fasting is one of the most powerful ways we can grow and have more of God's presence in our lives. I'm actually on the second day of a water only fast. There are different types of fasts, which are juice fasts, water fasts where you have nothing...

Well first off this is a unique request. I do indeed have some prayer requests, but I want to combine them with fasting as well, because I strongly believe prayer and fasting go together for making prayer more powerful. My prayer request is revival in my career. I'm stuck at a job that has...

I don't want to beat a dead horse by reviving this thread, but I believe it is important. So I had completed that Daniel Fast back in March when I posted this thread, and in addition 2 days of juice fasting. Upon completion of it I indeed noticed God working in my life better. New doors...

Thanks everyone for your advice so far. It has been encouraging.

Hey guys, I need some advice. So I attend this young adult group in this church called Wheaton Bible Church. It's located near Wheaton, Illinois, a very affluent suburb which is also the home of Wheaton College. Anyways, the people that go to this group seem to be in their own bubble, and I...

Starting tomorrow I'm embarking on a 21 day Daniel Fast. I've finally decided to do this because I want to grow closer to God. For a long time I thought I can bypass fasting with toughing it out in the gym and eating clean, but my body is so exhausted from weight training for so long, and my...

You sound like a typical millennial beta male who puts women on the pedestal and adheres to every emotional whim she throws at you. Do you even think for yourself? Be a man, and post messages on Facebook that are indeed hard to digest, because in this era people need some confrontational...

I'm not against praying and sitting down at a quiet time: it's just that too many Christian solely rely on that, passively waiting for something special to happen while neglecting their duties of proper social engagement and biophysical maintenance of their body. The best thing that worked for...

Why won't you start learning social skills, like learning how to attract women? Check out Justin M. Campbell's blog; he has some great advice. Quit feeling sorry for yourself, hit the weights at the gym, and go out to social venues (including church) and start some conversations with the...
