Wow, thank you so much for this ma... It's very timely...funny thing is, I can relate so well with the 2 examples you used at the end of the video... Amazing, you've given me a new drive & desire to fasting, though I have some health challenges that puts me on medications constantly but I still trust God to find my own fasting pattern.

Thank you Amen..Jesus did tell us.. Some things only come out by prayer and fasting..but it's not talked about as much as it should in the Christian community.

This is my first time watching this video Funke, I had no idea that you did so much prayer and fasting! I recently incorporated fasting in my journey for marriage and my prayer life has also intensified. The wait is hard but I am trusting God in the process

This works wonders all the time. Thank you so much Mrs Funke. I truly appreciate your words of wisdom on this topic.

Hi Ana Maria, thank you for your lovely comment. I definitely plan to do a video on faith soon as its such an important aspect of our Christian life . Initially i worried about how my husband would find me and if i would know him when we met but as i deepened my relationship with God and my faith grew I trusted that God knew what to do to bring my husband and i together at the right time. My faith and trust in God did not happen overnight, it grew as i continued to read and believe what the bibble said and as i trusted God in the small things and saw that he was faithful. Don't be afraid, keep your trust in God, he has promised he will not fail you. God bless & take care

Thank you for this video, and for all the videos you have uploaded thus far. As a single woman who has just stepped into the 30s, I have learned to stop seeking answers to the stream of questions about what I didn't have and seek God more about the plan He has for me - and be willing to embrace it whilst still laying all of my desires before Him. God will continue to use you as a vessel and fill you until there is an overflow. In your own fasting and praying, you will radiate God's Glory. He will do a new thing in your life in Jesus' Name.

Good morning Sis.Funke, I am really encouraged by your video. Despite the fact that I had been a born again Christian, for 23 years. I recently started finding it difficult to to fast, despite the fact that I have changed from membership of a local church that is non charismatic, to another which is very much so. I'm now 43 years old. I noticed I began finding it difficult to fast and pray for longer than 3PM (till 6PM), and for many days for consistency. I feel ashamed of this difficulty, particularly because over here in Africa, keeping the faith is normal. Besides, I have an age long reputation for being a sincere Christian. This video was the first pop up, when I typed in your name, not long ago. Please, I really need your prayers! Moreover, I ought to focus well on my consecration, as I am called for the ministry. I suffer often because, I am surrounded by the wrong persons, outside of Church set up! I dislike to mention this, over here in Africa, cryptic witchcraft is rather legendary! I'm fighting to stand up, against that, rather alone (apart from my Pastor's help! ).

Hi Omolola, thank you for your honest comment. It is well! Don't allow yourself to feel condemned for not fasting or praying long enough. The Bible tells us that condemnation is not from God. Talk to God about it and ask him to reveal to you if there are any things causing this eg discouragement, frustration, unforgiveness etc ask him to help you address any issues he may reveal. Be encouraged as a child of God you have been delivered from the kingdom of darkness. Even though the devil may try through witchcraft and other means to oppress and derail us, we are victorious in Christ. Keep meditating over scriptures that show you that the Devil and witchcraft has no power over you. I will pray for you. It is well, God is very much in control. God bless & take care

Thank you for your words have encouraged me more. I pray that God will send me his angels as he did to Daniel

Hi Jordan, thank you for your question. Don't give up on the fasting. Make sure that you are also praying scripture based prayers for your marriage. Find about 5-7 scriptures that are relevant to what you are seeking God for and use them to pray. Pray daily and also praise and thank God for intervening in your marriage etc. You may not see any changes in your marriage yet but you are doing this by faith. God is faithfull. I hope this helps. God bless & take care

@@banyana6515 She did not say that in this video. She might’ve said that in her other videos but not in this one. Thank you for the clarification. But I know I wasn’t the only one confused. I listened with an ear but yea.. what you just said she did not say.

"But if they find they have not the gift of self-control in such matters, by all means let them get married. I think it is far better for them to be married than to be tortured by unsatisfied desire." I Cor. 7:9 J.B. Phillips, [Translated directly from the Greek.] "Tortured by unsatisfied desire"? I take this as God created natural desires for the opposite sex. This so God gets what he wants..... "godly offspring" through marriage. Malachi 2:15. At the same time, God can't pick people's spouses... to do so, he would violate your volition. In doing so, God would violate himself. (And it is not a sin to "break-off" an engagement (I Cor. 7:36-38). If God picked your spouse, and you broke-up an engagement, it would be sin. Yet, the Apostle Paul states that it is not a sin to break-off an engagement.) Thus, God created "attraction." And attraction gets people together. Pick up that phone, and call someone of interest, and say, "random hello." Then, see where it goes. This sure beats "waiting, waiting, waiting on God", then after a long time, a "non-virgin's" sensual desires overtake them, and they have sex (again) outside of marriage. Like a rubber band that is stretched and breaks! (The Apostle Paul used the word, "sensual" in I Timothy 5:11.) Pick up that phone. Paul wrote in I Cor. 7 to non-virgins, basically if you can't control yourself get married. Paul didn't say, "pray, pray, pray, pray.... fast... fast... fast away" your desire for a mate. (Fasting is good), Paul said there was no rules, or procedures of man that will stop "sensual indulgence" Colossians 2:23. His only answer for those that cannot control themselves is to get married. Pick up that phone!!!! :) Fall into grace... see forgiveness, grasp it, give it... pick up that phone and get into a relationship that leads to engagement. Also... note the distinction in I Corinthians 7:25. "Now as for virgins, I have no command from the Lord." In other words, the first 24 verses were for whom? For new Christians that were non-virgins, and the married. To them in verses 1-24, Paul is telling the new Christian that were "non-virgins" to get married if they can't control themselves. Sad, but some Christians that are non-virgins put upon themselves the "I'm devoting myself to God", from verses AFTER I Corinthians 25. The verses after v. 25 apply to virgins. If you have had sex, you don't have the "gift of singleness." How then to keep a marriage strong? Not by picking or being the perfect person... but Paul again comes through.... by a young married couple meeting with an older married couple. (Titus 2). Pick up that phone! Have fun.... best to keep it pure.... Did I mention, "pick up that phone"?

Thank you so much
