I would love to hear people stories on fasting and if it has helped them. Also what type of fasting did you do?

you know fasting food wise never did anything for me but i suppose spending most my time with god could be considered fasting in a way as it has helped me greatly

Jesus said we would fast, and I do feel lead by the Holy Spirit to fast occasionally. I believe strongly fasting can cause us to break through into new spiritual freedom, insights and revelation. The spiritual man is strengthened.
I have found it important to pray about the fast asking for His strength and guidance as to how long the fast should last. (usually till my wife says dinner is ready)

Luke 5:35 But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them; then they will fast in those days.”

Not boasting here but I I once fasted for five days, no food just water. It was amazing. Prayer and worship just slipped out so easily like it never had before. Also got a real sense of my own mortality by day 4 lol. One tip though dont fall for the cravings for fast food during fasting it doesn't satisfy! Haha..also done a ten day fast from meat...man that was torture lol
