  2. Pastor JF, that was an awesome msg about fasting. It adds more value to a genuine fasting with all ur heart.
    WHAT SHOULD I GIVE UP FOR LENT? MEAT? SWEETS? CHOCOLATE? ICE CREAM? BEVERAGES ? MEAT?

    Many of us try to be more disciplined for Lent and give up something that we really like. Thatโ€™s great! Fasting has always been an important tradition of Lent. Let us also consider other things that we can give up along with Pastor JF's teaching.

    1 Thessalonians 5:18 โ€“ Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is Godโ€™s will for you in Jesus Christ.

    Ephesians 4:32 โ€“ Be kind and compassionate to one another forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.

    Give up discouragementBe full of hope
    Deuteronomy 31:8 โ€“ The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you: he will never leave you or forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged.
    Isaiah 40:31 โ€“ But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

    Give up hatredReturn good for evil
    1 John 2:9 โ€“ Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates his brother is still in the darkness.
    Luke 6:27 โ€“ โ€œBut I tell you who hear me; Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you.โ€

    Give up angerBe more patient
    Matthew 5:22 โ€“ But I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment.
    Proverbs 15:18 โ€“ A hot tempered man stirs up dissension, but a patient man calms a quarrel.

    Give up gossipingControl your tongue
    Psalm 34:13 โ€“ Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking lies.
    Proverbs 21:23 โ€“ He who guards his mouth and his tongue keeps himself from calamity.

  3. P. Franklin, Thank you for giving the perspective for fasting and prayer.

    I thank the Holy Spirit who is your guide and who anoints your messages that bring transformation in my life and bring me closer to God. I am seeking Lord Jesus to cleanse me and baptize me in His Spirit and His fire. God bless you everyday and the anointing keep increasing upon your life, supplying all that you need to do what He has called you to do.

  4. Just started my fasting last Sunday. Here in China where there are lots of evil spirits. But I do believe after these 21 days I will be victorious. Thank for these sermons they real lifts me up and keep me going on my fasting.
    Glory be to God Almighty!๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ™Œ

  5. I started my personal fast and I praying to reconnect to God and an increase in my life, financial breakthrough, blessing, God's favor, mercy, grace and protection over the lives of my siblings, cousins and aunties and uncles. And my relationship for a spiritual mind renewal over the life of my boyfriend.

  6. May God bless you Jentezen Franklin, you talk so much about fasting that it has become more clearer to me. May God bless you and your ministry. I am on a 21-day fast as well and it is coming to an end on 27th January. I pray God opens all our hearts to what He desires of us and draw us even closer to Him so that one day we might all sing His praises in the after life, amen!

  7. I'm late to join this fast but I'm starting my fast today. Praying for my wife and children to have the love of Jesus living in them in fullness and our family united again.

  8. Facts! God used me to cast out marine demons on many occasions because I fast and pray often, and everything the Man of God said, even the scripture he used, the song they sang in the end is where God led me over the past few months as in the closing of last year and into this year and I live all the way in Guyana… wow, wow, the confirmations, I am so blessed by this.

    Make the sacrifice Saints of God, He is no respecter of persons, He will use any available vessel that surrenders to Him. If you want to be overflowed with Holy Ghost Power/Fire … always remember, God's Fire only consumes sacrifices. If you want something you never had, you must do something you never done.
