12th Day of 40 Day Fast of Water Only - 1st of 3 forty day fasts

[Xibyxiby]

I'm looking forward to do a waterfast too and I want to say thank you because your videos are so encouraging and help me to realize that it's possible to do. Just a question: how did you feel mentally during the waterfast?I mean,was it difficult to you to concentrate;would you have been able to study? (this is really important to me) and did you watch TV/keep on surfing the internet?I don't know if these things aren't good to remain the mentally and spiritually relaxed and balanced.Thnx & kudos.

you are wasting your time,

you are vanyfing your efforts,

when you fast you have to remain to yourself and God if

you show off to the world you are doing a fast you have already received your reward.

the bible say that when you fast you should keep it secret,without looking miserable,and pourng oil on your face so that no 1 knows but the Lord only knows

and he will reward you,

I really appreciate what you've done with these videos.I saw you on wikipedia when i looked up the word fasting.I know it's hard to allow us into your personal spiritual journey so i definitely applaud you for that.i've fasted for long periods of time b4 as well,and nothing in this world compares to the benefits.you began to hear God and ppls thoughts before they speak.When you walk pass ppl or objects, they may drop something, or the objects move or fall bcuz of the pwr that comes from fasting.

I liked this video i like how you talked about your relationship with God and know that God says if you ask you shall recieve according to the plan that He has for your life.

[electronictrip]

i just wish you would show some emotion about how God being faithful and giving you strength to care for and teach the children that He gave made you feel. if i had to judge by the video, you seem completely bummed out about it. i hope the video doesn't convey your true feelings.

ur stomach does hurt from taking b12 and stuff?

[aaroncohen]

The vitamins don't make my stomach hurt, but they do make me nauseous sometimes, especially in the morning. If I think they will have that effect, I wait to take them until later, or just skip the dose altogether.

You lipps look moist, did you just drink something or applied lipp gloss?

how is your breath?

Has your urine chnaged color yet?

How are yoru gums feeling?

Does your tongue feel like is has a film on it??/

[aaroncohen]

I don't remember if I drank anything just before this, and I don't use lip gloss, especially now, but my lips were chapped after the first few days of fasting. I was also lower on energy than I expected. Then I realized I wasn't drinking enough water because I disliked it. I have since forced myself to drink much more water, and my lips aren't chapped like they used to be, and my energy, though still low, is much better than before.

[aaroncohen]

Since I don't use toothpaste while I'm fasting, I have to brush with just water. This has resulted in having to brush my teeth twice to thrice as many times during the day than normal, in order to keep my breath fresh.

The color changes after the first day day or so. I concluded it was the body's way of ridding itself of the fat it has used for energy.

[aaroncohen]

My gums feel normal, except when I brush my teeth (if I'm not careful), because of the sheer number of times I have to do so.  I have a sore on the top back part of my throat, which may or may not be related to my fasting.

It feels slightly different, but rougher, not like film, and might be a little whiter. I had thrush once when I was in the hospital more than a decade ago, but it doesn't feel or look like that now.
