 I'm 16 that night. We had the worst youth service. I pretty much quit. I'm just waiting to call my uncle who is my pastor and tell him that I'm not called to be a youth pastor. That is not my calling. That is not my purpose. And it's just not for me. And so my parents go to Winko store on the way home and they decide to get some shopping. So the whole family goes into the Winko store to get some shopping. I asked my mom if I could stay in the car and just really just stay in the car. But in reality, I was really broken, pretty depressed as a teenager. And so I was there whining. So tears rolling down my eyes and I'm complaining to God that I was given a responsibility for which I am not equipped. I am not anointed. This is not my calling. My uncle has pushed me into it. All of these whining things. And when I was done I felt the voice of the Holy Spirit. I would say this was the first time I heard the voice of God. It wasn't audible, but it was so clear that it changed the trajectory of the rest of my life. And I heard the Lord say, look at the Winko store. So as I looked at it and I saw people walking in empty. I saw people walking out with carts and with bags full of groceries. And I felt the Holy Spirit spoke to my heart. He says, if you don't quit. So I'm about 16, a little bit younger than 16. He says, if you don't quit, the church that you will pastor will be like a Winko store. People will come in sick and they will leave killed. They will come in broken and they will leave whole. They will come in empty and they will leave full. And they will not come because somebody gave them a flyer, but because everyone in the community will know that there is bread here and people will come because of that. Because up to this point, the only reason why people came to our church actually, and they didn't even come through that, is we handed a lot of flyers as people still didn't come. And so for me, the idea at the age of 16 that people will come to church without me handing a flyer was a miracle. So at that time, I wiped the tears off of my eyes and I received this call. Felt that this call that if I persevere, the Lord will let me be a part of a church, pastor a church, lead a church that will be similar to Winko store. A few things that will happen. As you see, it's a 24 hour savings. I really felt that 24 hours God would be saving people. Come on somebody. Yes. All right. That's a different relation. Yeah. Yeah. Also, what I felt was very strong is that the front of this building is attractive. It's nice. The doors are automatic. The back of this building is not as pleasant and it's not as attractive. But the back of the building is where the semi trucks bring all the food, which is why people come through the front of the building. And right there and then at the age of 16, I knew right away what that meant is that for hungry Jen to be a place where people would want to come to, it has to have the front door and it has to have a back door. And the back door has to be prayer and fasting. This is that door through which the, I would say semi trucks, the spiritual forces, the spiritual blessings come through. And so, and that's one of the reasons why a huge focus and emphasis started to happen in our church on prayer and fasting. And so, I've never made that call to my pastor at the age of 16. Things got harder after that. Things didn't get better. Youth group did not grow for a decade and more. Things were the same, sometimes a little bit better, sometimes worse. When things got too difficult for me personally, instead of throwing the towel, I would park my car at this parking lot and I would remind God that you called me. You got to see me through. Welcome to this 14th day of our fast. Let me know in the comments below how you're feeling, how are you doing and how this fast is treating you. Guys, let us know as well what you're tuning in from.

Also left a review about Fast Forward book is amazing, that lays foundation for the successful in an extended fast. Brittany, also from our church, part of our pastoral team. She mentions as well, I really like how this book takes you through the biblical understanding of how to fast. Brittany actually is reading the book with her small group. It's incredible and amazing. They're being blessed by this. Everett just dropped a link. If you have been a part of this fasting community and you have gotten the book, help us out by leaving a review. The other part is on our website. I'm not sure if you guys have seen it. Maybe you haven't. I'm just going to give you a little update. We have now a Russian channel added, as well as Spanish channel added, where you can recommend to your family, where you can recommend it to people who maybe don't speak English, that they could learn these teachings. And you can download the Fast Forward book free of charge English or Russian. We're adding Spanish and other ones very, very soon. Thank you so much, all of you partners. Thank you so much, all of you who have given before. It will mean a lot, guys, because of your giving and your efforts, we're able to do these great things. Before we go any further, as we're waiting for more people to trickle in, I'm going to mention just a few events that are coming up. And one of them is the San Antonio. I am going to San Antonio on February 25th through 26th. Make sure that if you are in Texas, you're welcome to come and see us. We would love to see you in San Antonio, as well as we are coming to the one conference with Pastor Mike. And that's going to be on February 17th. You can register for that on my website. It's a free conference. And next Sunday, so this coming Sunday now, well today's Sunday, we are going to have our deliverance service, our healing service, our sacrifice service. It's going to be incredible. I am so excited for that because we are believing for the Lord to bring physical healing. Part of our end of the fast is going to be us believing for God to bring physical healing to people. We are also going to be doing a sacrifice. So all of us have been preparing and praying what to bring to the Lord. This Sunday, we are contributing to our building fund at Hungry Gen. And then we're finishing the the whole day with the deliverance service. So if you are nearby, I want to invite you, book a ticket and make your way to Hungry Gen this Sunday. We would love to see you. It would be incredible to have you with us. I met people today that flew, drove, came to Hungry Gen and next Sunday is going to be incredible. We're going to finish the fast on Sunday. Now next Sunday, I'm still going to stream, most likely I'm still going to, I'm still going to stream and mainly I'm going to stream on how to come out of a 21-day water fast. So you don't want to miss next Sunday's live stream. Okay, so yeah, Sharma is asking, is the sacrifice about the first fruit? Yes. Yes, so it's about that. Somebody's asking, are you coming to California this year? So I don't have plans right now. I've been to California last year and I'm not able to go to every single time, to every single city. I'm really pray about it and then I don't have any information about going to California. Somebody's saying, where's your church located? It's in Pasco, Washington, not Seattle, but Pasco, Washington state. So it's about three hour drive from Seattle, three hour drive from Portland, Oregon. So we'd love to have you at our church next Sunday. We would love to host you, pray for you. We're believing for healing, how to come out of the fast. I've been doing it kind of wrong. So next Sunday, we want to do that specific stream. We might do that actually on Saturday. You know, now that brings my attention, we might do that on Saturday because some people will start coming out on Sunday after the church. We typically kind of, that's how we do it is after the church, we start coming out of the fast. And it's important that you get proper knowledge about it so you don't come out of the fast wrongly. Now, some people will come out of the fast on Monday. Some people will come at the end of the day. I will be probably coming out on Sunday because we have a trip on Monday. So I want to start kind of preparing my body for that. And yeah, I wish you could come to North Carolina. We need a movement here so badly. Cristina, I'm actually working out right now with one of my friends, and I might be in North Carolina here this year. If we're finishing the fast on Sunday, then we wait on Monday to eat the soup. You can, you can wait on Monday to start coming out of it, or you can start coming out of it on Sunday after church. And so when are you coming to Seattle, Pastor Vlad? I'm not coming to Seattle any time soon, but I am waiting for Seattle to come to us at Hungry Gen. So you're not very far. You can bring your family and come and visit us. We would love to see you here at Hungry Gen. Appreciate you guys. So today we're going to dive in into what I believe the Lord wants to speak to us. It being day 14, let me just expand my shot a little bit bigger. It being day 14 today, let's drop that in the chat. It's day 14, which means we have seven days left of the fast. How's everybody feeling on day 14? Let me know that in the comments. How's the fast treating you on day 14? Day 14 pretty much means that we are two thirds already done. And now we can see light at the end of the tunnel. And this light is not the train that's going to hit us. It's that we are bringing this fast to a very close, very, very soon. You know, I'm reminded of Psalm 109 versus 24. For me, it's been actually probably one of the hardest fasts in regards to sleeping and in regards to my knees, like they're normal during the day. But the moment I go to sleep, my knees are just like hurting. And so I was reading this morning as I woke up and honestly kind of tossed back and forth pretty much almost most of the night. And I read this morning kind of even as I was in my bed, I pulled out my iPad. And I saw David says in Psalm 109 verse 24, my knees are weak through fasting and my flesh is feeble from lack of fatness. And you know, I feel like Israelites in the wilderness, our whole being is dried up within us. You know, like it's that thing where you're dry inside, you know, and I was blessed today to preach three times at Hungry Jen about God's Word. And I would really encourage you to check out the sermon. It's going to come out tomorrow morning. It will really encourage you to be in God's Word. And by the third service, I was tired, physically exhausted. And our worship leader, who I believe is still fasting, and he led worship for three services. I was like, how is he able to do that? I barely can speak. And so, but definitely the Lord is bringing his strength in the place of our weakness. I want to share with you a verse before we talk about the the attacking of generational curses in 2 Corinthians chapter 16 and verse 2 Corinthians chapter four and verse 16. So, take a moment and write this down. 2 Corinthians chapter four and verse 16. And maybe you are feeling this right now and just this will really bring just an encouragement. And Paul says this, therefore, we do not lose heart. Somebody dropped it in the chat. We do not lose heart. Meaning, don't get discouraged right now. You're almost there. Don't give up right now. We don't lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, can anybody relate with that? Our outward man is perishing right now. It seems like it's dying slowly. Our flesh is dying. Some of us maybe are feeling like we are dying. But in reality, we're not dying. Our outward man is perishing. Yet the inward man is being renewed day by day. Somebody dropped that in the chat. My inward man is being renewed. There is a renewing that is taking place toward the Lord, renewing toward his purpose and renewing toward his presence. And then Paul says, for our light affliction, somebody dropped it in the chat, fasting is a light affliction. Now, in reference in here, he's of course referring to hardships and persecution that Christians experience. But I think one of the applications could be also even fasting because we choose this, our light affliction. Fasting is a light affliction. It's affliction, but it's not a heavy affliction. Believers going around the world right now and being persecuted for Jesus, that's way heavier. Those who are being beheaded, those that are being right now removed from the society, those that are losing their jobs, those that are being, you know, thrown into the streets and becoming homeless because of Christ, those who are being physically beaten, those are serious afflictions. Our afflictions are light. And so while you're feeling like you're being heavily afflicted, have a perspective. Fasting is not a heavy affliction. It's a light affliction. Our light affliction is but for a moment. Amen. Somebody dropped it in the chat. Fasting is not forever. That's a word. Fasting is not forever. Even if you're doing a 40-day fast, it's not forever. 40 days is not eternity. And those 40 days will pass like this. If you're doing a 21-day water fast, fasting is but for a moment, meaning in light of 365 days, 21 days is not forever. It's not very long. It seems long when you're in it, but when you come out of it, it's not that long. Fasting is but for a moment, but this is the part that I believe is going to bring encouragement, is that it says it's working for us far more exceeding an eternal weight of glory. I believe that as we're enduring certain afflictions for the cause of Jesus, as we're pressing into the Lord, it's working for us. Somebody dropped it in the chat. Fasting is working for me. I'm not working for the fast. The fast is working for me. That means that it's doing something in your health. It's doing something in your walk with God. It's working for us. I just want you to catch that in your heart today that what you are doing for the Lord right now, it's working for you. Okay? You may feel like it's killing you, but it's working for you. And what is it working for us? Far exceeding an eternal weight of glory. So that means that the Lord is producing something in our life, is working something out for us. And in verse 18, while we do not look at things which are seen, but at things which are not seen, that means don't over focus and don't look at food, which is seen. Look at what you don't see, the spiritual food, the word of God. So begin to focus on the food that you don't see. You know, when disciples came to Jesus and they said, Master, we brought some food. And Jesus says, I already have food. And they said, who brought him food? And Jesus says, my food is to do the will of the Father. And so as you're right now going through this light affliction, as you are going through this light affliction for a moment, as your outward man is perishing and your inward man is being renewed, do not look at what you see. Don't give attention to your stomach. Give attention to your heart, to the Lord, to God's word and to His presence. Why? Because what you see is temporary. What you see is not eternal. Even your God bless your body. Even your body is not eternal. So for those of you that are going through that right now, I want to encourage you to just persevere. Now some of you maybe have stopped the fast or maybe some of you are joining and you're like, I'm not going to fast at all. I want to challenge you. Come on. This next seven days, these next seven days, what would happen if you make a decision to give the Lord that food, that body, maybe for some of us it's, you know, television or music or some other things, just put it on the altar and say, Lord, I want to seek you, press into you. I'm going to be streaming every seven days. So you can be joining with me and receiving that encouragement. And if you're simply saying, well, you know, I'm just going to simply, you know, stuff myself and eat because I don't, you know, want to put my flesh through that. It's your choice. But if you really want to experience what the Lord has for you, you're going to have to lay some things at the altar. Fire cannot fall if there is no sacrifice. So lay your body on the altar and you can just start tomorrow. Resume that fast. Start that tomorrow. Let's go after God. Let's see him move powerfully and mightily in our life. Richard, good to see you, brother, on Instagram chat. And so that's what my encouragement to you is. Don't lose heart. Your outward men is perishing. The inward men is being renewed. Don't look at the things that are seen, which is food. Look at the things which are not seen, which is God's word. This light affliction and fasting is a light affliction. It's not a serious affliction. It may feel serious is but for a moment, meaning fasting is not for a life. Fasting is for a season. And it produces, works for us greater glory. Amen. Drop number one in the chat if you're going to persevere, not give up and move forward. Now, something that I want to address to you today is what Esther, I'm going to call it the Esther's fast. Esther's fast was a three-day fast that she did with people in her court and as well as she brought Israelites into it. I had a whole teaching that I preached at Pastor Greg Locke's church called It Ends With Me. And you can check that teaching on YouTube. I'm not going to go through all of it right now. I just want to highlight few things. Esther was facing a problem that did not start with her. Prophet Lovie, hello, on Instagram. Esther's problem did not start with her. Her ancestors did not execute an enemy that God had war with, Amalekites. And Esther, who was a descendant of Kish, actually dealt with an enemy that her ancestors did not deal with. Really, her problem started before her. Her problem did not start with her. And some of us are facing problems that didn't start with us. We're facing payments that are resurfacing in our life that actually I call it daddy demons. It's the curses and demons that have been going through our bloodline and they have been attacking us. And sometimes we're like, what is this coming from? Why am I dealing with this? When in reality, we are not dealing with the problem that started with us, but it started by someone before us. And I love the fact that Esther, who was a political figure, she was married to a king. She could have easily pulled political strings. Mardukai was also in the palace, but she didn't do that. She started to actually go into a fast. And we see that she brought a whole crowd, including the Jewish people, into a fast and then God started to move powerfully on her behalf. Now, I do believe that generational curses, they need to be renounced. I do believe that demons need to be cast out. But one of the things that you can prepare for your deliverance, one of the things that you can weaken the generational curses and begin to confront them is true prayer and fasting. All of us have certain things we are battling with that did not start with us, myself included. And, you know, after I interviewed my grandma, I'm writing, I just finished a book yesterday about snakes, shipwrecks and storms. And I interviewed my grandma about my great-great father, grandfather, who was a preacher who went to jail for the cause of Christ. And then he was released. And then he actually was walking down the road. And the communists gave him a ride, pretty much put him on their carriage. And him and his friend were being beaten by the communists. And then he fell actually from the carriage and his leg got stuck in the carriage. So his body was being beaten, you know, like as the horses were riding. And they would keep beating him for about an hour. And so, of course, he suffered brain damage and he suffered concussion and all of this stuff. And then they took him to the hospital. He recovered, but he was never the same after that. And then a few years later, he died. And so when my grandma starts telling me about four generations of people before me that served God, loved God, gave their life for God, it really challenged me to really persevere in my walk with the Lord. And it reminded me of the power of generational blessings. And I am a recipient of that. Blessings that happen in my life are not because I deserve them. It's because I do believe people have paid a price and it becomes easier for me to follow the Lord's steps because of this generational blessing. Now, there are many of you in the chat today. That is not your story. You're the first person in your family to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. And in fact, you're dealing with layers of witchcraft, layers of sorcery, layers of false religion, layers of other things that are happening in the family, alcoholism, drug use. Maybe you're dealing with layers of divorce where everyone in the family has always been poor, always been sick. And you are facing that today. I want to encourage you. You are going to be the one by God's grace to break the cycle, to break this thing that runs in your family. But I want you to listen to Esther because Esther did not break the grip of Haman over her nation really by being cute. She did it by prayer, by fasting. And prayer and fasting, I believe, something as long as three-day water fast can really start giving you that grip over those curses. And as you pray and fast, take time to renounce those things. For some people, it's alcohol. It's like it runs in the family. People just get drunk all the time. For others, it's loneliness. They get married, but they're still lonely. For some, it's depression. Whatever it is, whatever Haman is currently attacking your life that maybe they started with you, please understand we're not blaming our parents. We are not blaming our ancestors. Breaking generational curses is not about blaming. It's about battling. Drop that in the chat. Breaking generational curses is not about blaming your parents. It's about battling demonic spirits and battling curses and strongholds passed on through bloodline. You are a bloodline curse breaker. You are a bondage breaker. You are an ester. God has raised you for such a time as this. It's not an accident that he brought you to the kingdom first. It's not an accident that he has opened the way of salvation for you. God doesn't want you to live your life repeating the cycles of your ancestors. God wants you to live your life repelling it, resisting it, removing it, renouncing it, and replacing it with the blessing of Abraham, generational blessing of faithfulness, marital fidelity, financial provision that you have enough to help other people, peace in your mind, that you have a family that gives God glory and brings glory to his name, that you don't live your life in anger, depression, anxiety and fear, but you live your life in God's peace, in God's joy filled with the Holy Spirit. And maybe you are at that place right now where these demons and these curses are attacking you. Be encouraged as you're fasting. It worked for ester and I believe that it will work for you. You are a bloodline curse breaker. It ran in your family until it ran into you. And as Esther ended the reign of Haman the Amalekite, I believe you will end the reign of nightmares, you will end the reign of chronic diseases that claim relatives in your family line, in your family and in your bloodline, that you will end the reign of drug addiction, you will end the reign of alcohol addiction, you will end the reign of Jezebel, controlling, manipulative and dominating attitudes, you will end the reign of constant shortage, lack and poverty, that you will end the reign of divorce, marital unhappiness, barrenness and miscarriage, you will end the reign of cancer, incurable sickness and disease in Jesus' mighty name. So Esther fasted for three days, you know they didn't eat and drink and as they went into that warfare then she went to the king. As she went to the king, you know she pleaded for her nation, see fasting and going into the presence of the king, go together. So as you're combating generational curses, go to the presence of the king. Are you in agreement with me? Drop number one in the chat, go into the presence of your king Jesus and I want you to plead for your family and I want you to in the presence of God, renounce those curses. In the presence of God while you're fasting, I want you to break those strongholds. Maybe you have this indecisiveness, doubt, confusion, double-mindness, whatever that is, you just renounce that ways, you're standing in God's presence, you say, I think I thought, I think pray a prayer of revolt, pray a prayer of authority. Now I know last few days I've talked about weeping and that's good, it has its place but I want you to also practice prayer of warfare because Esther fasted and then she came into the presence of her husband, the king. She presented a request to bring him to dinner, bring him for food. He ate and she did it again and then she presented to him the request and Haman was crippled. He got on his knees, started begging for his life and then his plan was broken. His plot came to nothing because Jews were empowered to defend themselves and fight back. In fact, actually my whole book Fight Back is actually written around Esther's story. If you've never read my book Fight Back, go and check it out. It will really bless you. She revolted, she came against it, Jews were empowered and they actually resisted that. So as you are fasting and praying, may it go to pressing into the presence of God, may it go dealing directly with generational curses by renouncing them and by removing them from your life. But then you must also understand fasting and prayer doesn't just cancel those curses, it also empowers you to continue resist if those curses will seek to reappear in your life. Whatever God doesn't remove, He empowers you to resist. Esther, she and her nation, beginning started to revolt and defend their life and fight back and then Amalekites and their plot was no more. Generational curses, they need to come to an end. This is the year where generational curses, they have to come to an end. Generational curses of negativity, generational curses that go through and I understand, maybe somebody would listen to this and they're like, oh, you know, he's just one of those guys, he's a demon behind everything. You know, one of those guys, everything is a demon. We all blame the devil. That is the furthest thing from the truth. I don't blame the devil for everything. I battle the devil over everything. I do believe my warfare is not against flesh and blood. I do believe that the enemy comes to steal, kill and destroy. And I do believe that the enemy pulls strings to advance his agenda in destroying our life. And his demons, they go from one generation to another. The cycles, the strongholds and certain curses, certain spiritual powers that go from bloodline to bloodline, they need to be confronted. They need to be resisted and they need to be broken. And I do believe that prayer and fasting is a spiritual power that helps me to be empowered to break the power of the enemy. Jesus said, this kind does not leave, except by prayer and fasting. That means that there are kinds of problems you cannot overcome with your degree, with your church attendance record, with your tithing. There are problems you can't overcome. This kind, there are certain demonic forces you cannot overcome with your connections, with even your Bible reading, but by prayer and fasting. So as we are 14 days in, we got seven days left to go, I want to encourage you not to lose heart. I want to encourage you if you are seeing demonic curses, that you begin to combat against them in Jesus' name. You can't fight curses with your own strength. You can't bring a knife to a gunfight. You have to bring a gun. You got to bring a spiritual weapon. And that weapon is the word of God and that weapon is prayer and fasting. Let's pray right now. Let's believe right now the curses will be broken. Generational curses will be cancelled. That God will break the grip of sickness and disease, defeat, depression, and other curses over your life in the name of Jesus. If you are ready for that prayer, drop number one in the chat. Amen. Lord, I thank you for your grace. I thank you for your Holy Spirit. Lord, we come to your throne right now. Empower the words we're going to say. Empower the prayer we're about to pray. Holy Spirit, you see every person on the other side of this screen who is battling, a battle that didn't start with them. Holy Spirit, you see every person on the other side of this screen who is dealing with a problem that didn't begin with them. I come in agreement with their faith right now in the name of Jesus. Every generational curse be broken right now. In the name of Jesus, I come against every generational curse of sickness and disease that has been running in the family. Be broken right now. Chronic sickness and chronic disease. Every spirit of infirmity come out in the name of Jesus. Every curse that causes pain in the bones. Every curse that causes pain in different organs of the body brings cancer, incurable diseases. Be broken right now. Loose your grip off of God's people. Every spiritual entity, every spiritual black cloud following their health that claimed the health of their parents. The generational curse of premature death. Be broken right now in Jesus' name. In the mighty name of Jesus, we come against every generational curse of an attack on the mind. Depression, anxiety, mental instability, mental illness that's been going from one generation to another. Be broken right now in Jesus' name. I break every curse of mental instability that's generational right now in the name of Jesus Christ. I come against every curse of broken family, divorce, indecisiveness in relationships. Constant heartbreak. Be broken right now in Jesus' mighty name. Adultery, infidelity. Be broken right now in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. I break every curse of barrenness. I break every curse of miscarriage that's been generational in the name of Jesus. I command those fibroids to come out right now in Jesus' name. I command those unclean spirits of succubus and incubus, tormenting demons at night, a sexual perversion that's going through the family, that addiction to pornography. In Jesus' name, be broken right now and those unclean spirits to come out right now in Jesus' name. I bind them and I command them to come out of people that are watching right now and who want to be free. In Jesus' name, I break every generational curse of poverty, limitation, stagnation, shortcoming and lack. Lack that doesn't come from us choosing to give our money away but it comes because something constantly keeps taking it. In Jesus' mighty name, every curse that brings bankruptcy, every curse that brings constant shortage, never been able to pay the bills, constant lack and constant poverty and never having enough even to provide for your own family. We break that right now in Jesus' name. We break that curse right now in the mighty name of Jesus Christ that you will have more than enough, that you will prosper, that you will be effective, that you will be successful, that you will be prospering with the purpose in the mighty name of Jesus. I come against every curse of accident prone, constant accidents, car accidents, accidents somewhere in the job. I break that curse over your life right now in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. May there be pleasant surprises instead of accidents in your life, in Jesus' name. Be free from the curse of accidents in the name of Jesus Christ. Those of you that are sick, I want you to place your hand upon the part of your body where there is pain.

I lay claim on God's word that by the stripes of Jesus I am healed. I want you to also examine your body and if you notice that the pain is gone and you do feel that that that you had before is not there anymore. I want you to let me know and send me an email past a hungry gen that come forward slash testimony. And so I'll read those. My team reads those as well. So if you do see that the pain is gone. Even if it's something small or something big, let me know. Pass the hungry gen that come forward slash testimony. We're going to give you that link right now. We're going to pin it for just maybe a minute. And so I see already testimonies are showing up. So yeah, it might take some of you a few minutes to just kind of realize, wow, I don't have that pain anymore. Maybe some of you will realize that tomorrow. It's okay. But go to hungry gen.com forward slash testimony for the glory of God. Always testify. Amen. People are saying my headache is gone. I am healed. Amen. Amen. I feel better already. Amen. Amen. Thank you Lord. People are sharing their testimonies. Praise the Lord. Now as we're still waiting for more testimonies and as you're going to send that in the email, I want to take a moment right now and to invite you to participate in our ministry by giving and by partnering. So for those of you that are just tuning in maybe your first time, praise God. I see Annie saying my neck pain is gone. Amen. I feel better already. Wow. People even from Instagram live come on. Nothing is impossible to God. I don't see the email link for the email. If somebody from our team can drop that on Instagram live as well, but from your own account, not from my account or maybe from hungry gens account and just help us with that as well. That would be very much helpful. It's hungrygen.com forward slash testimony. I want to invite you for those of you that receive this today, this ministry, this word and you've been in the fast with us. I want to invite you today to partner with our ministry. Go to pastorvlad.org forward slash partner and you can give through cash at Venmo, PayPal and all of that, but we are looking for partners. As you know, our ministry, we translate things into other languages. We offer courses. We offer all of our books available for people to download free of charge. And so that takes a lot of work and we're able to do that because of you guys. And so Graceland is already sharing this. So let me see if I can pin. So yeah, go ahead and make that donation today. Make that become a partner today. We do all of that free of charge, but we're able to do that because of your contribution. So really much appreciate you guys and Graceland will also drop a link of the partnership in the chat or Isabella. And then I'm going to pin it on Instagram. But I see like so many testimonies are happening. The Lord is moving. And so this ministry is a good soil to sow your financial seed. And we are believing it will bring a great harvest of souls coming to Jesus. People being healed and people being delivered. And so we would really appreciate you doing that. And so we invite you to participate in that right now. And so if the Lord puts anything on your heart, we are looking during this fast to see that we add 100 partners so that we can translate into new YouTube channels. We actually want to start few new YouTube channels in different languages. We want to translate books into more. We're right now working tomorrow. We're going to be actually talking about printing a few thousand books in the Philippines. I'm going to go to a conference there. And so and honestly all of that is able. We're able to do that guys because of your giving and because of your prayers. So prayers is also very important. Money is not everything 100%. But at the same time giving helps us to fuel this mission. And so thank you so much for those of you giving it on YouTube chat. Those of you giving through partnership. Those of you giving through the Cash App and Venmo. I'm going to stay for a little bit and answer some questions. And man praise God so many testimonies are still coming through. Make sure you submit the testimony on the website so we can also rejoice with you Philippines. You're coming again here this year. Yes, I am. I am coming to Philippines in July in Manila. And I'm super excited. I missed Philippines. So I love Philippines. And so yeah, we're going to try to actually print our books in the Philippines. Because last time that I printed in the United States and shipped them is just they all got stuck at customs. And that has been so difficult. Yeah. So we're going to try to go and print them there. Somebody is saying I can contribute through PayPal. Thank you, love. Holis, we really appreciate you doing that. Coke, Roman, thank you so much for giving through the Cash App. And I'm going to read a few fundraise and then we're going to answer some questions as well. And if sometime maybe during this fast, the Lord puts on your heart to sow a sacrifice. Give something that is maybe not usual for you. May God bless you as you do that. Christina, thank you for becoming a partner on the website. George and Myrna, thank you for giving on the website as well. Susan is saying I sent through Vimbo. Thank you. I'm still waiting to receive it on our end. Now let's answer a few questions. And are you ever coming to Bellingham, Alabama? So I don't have any plans for Bellingham, Alabama. I am a pastor of a local church. So it's a lot harder for me to travel to many places. So I do want to invite you to come to Hungry Gen. Aniva Antonio, thank you for becoming a partner with the generous gift to our ministry. During which service are you preaching next Sunday? I preach at all three services. So I preach at eight o'clock. And I encourage you to come to the eight o'clock service if you are able to. It has a little bit more space. At 10 o'clock service there is no space. You can still come. At 12 o'clock is also going to be very busy. Yes, I'm coming to Texas in the end of February. Our church is located in Pasco, Washington. Will God honor my fast, even though I am not Baptist, by the Holy Spirit or pray in tongues? 100%. Your fast is not contingent on speaking in tongues. God will bless your fast, even if you don't speak in tongues. So I believe that God can baptize you in the Holy Spirit with evidence of speaking in tongues while you're fasting. So believe for that. But yes, God can use the fast even if you don't speak in tongues. How do you get out of a 40-day fast? Very slowly. You get out of the 40-day fast very slowly. You get out of the 40-day fast. It takes seven days to get out of the 40-day fast. I got out of the fast in about three. It's not recommended. So it takes seven days and for a 21-day fast, it takes about three days to get out of the 21-day fast. So very slowly. I'm going to do a short teaching this week, maybe on Saturday or perhaps on Sunday, probably on Sunday. But I'll let you guys know, so just kind of watch from my YouTube, about how to get out from the fast. 21-day fast and I'll also share some things about 40-day fast. Please invite Prophet Lovie Elias to your church. So our challenge, Ali, is that we have a very small building. So we have three services. So people like Prophet and many others who move powerfully in the Holy Spirit. It's very difficult to have a three-service back-to-back. And so we are believing once we get into a new building. So that's why this Sunday we're going to do a special sacrifice Sunday. We will give the word that. We're believing once we get a new building, we will be able to invite some of men of God that ideally respect and honor. And that some of you also recommended in the chat. Can you pray for me to fast God's way please? So I would encourage you to watch the teachings and to learn more about fasting and to practice fasting according to what the Bible teaches and to ask God for his grace. But I will keep you in prayer. Will you consider visiting Caribbean for a vacation? Of course. But yeah, I would consider if the Lord opens the door. Yes. How do we break curses off of our children and their fathers' sides? So as a parent you have authority over your children. I believe that you need to break those curses over them. But I also believe that you need to train your children in the ways of the Lord. Because if you only break the curses but you never teach your children, those curses are not necessarily going to, you know, manifest. The breaking of those curses will not manifest because we have to obey the scripture and the scripture teaches us to obey, to teach our children. What do I eat? I'm assuming what do you mean by what do you eat? I mean, whatever you want, healthy food or after the fast. So I'm not sure what your messages are about. Are all the three messages the same or they're all different that you speak on Sunday? So all of my messages are the same because in three services people come to one service. We encourage them not to stay for the second service. If they stay for the second service, we ask them to sit in the overflow. So, yeah, so all three services are identical. What would you consider to be the main obstacle to a fast? What can prevent it from working? The main obstacle to the fast is the flesh. And how do you prevent the flesh? You don't feed it. Don't obey it. You do what the Lord tells you to do and you ignore your flesh. And that is the way you overcome that obstacle. Is it possible to stand in a gap for the family? 100%. One of the weeks we talked about fasting for our family breakthrough. Please watch that stream. Guys, thank you so much for giving Susan. God bless you, MT. Thank you for your gift. Sam, thank you also for your gift on the Vimmo. And Andreas, God bless you for your reoccurring gift. So, for those of you that are giving into this ministry, we really appreciate you. You can become a partner with this ministry on my website. So, guys, tomorrow, so guess what? I'm live-shipping tomorrow morning as well. Yeah, we're live-shipping tomorrow morning. Are you coming to Louisiana? No, I don't have any plans to visit Louisiana. I am coming to Texas, though, San Antonio. I'm coming to San Antonio, so let me just give you a little rundown of the events. This Sunday is our Deliverance Sunday. So, I'm going to be at Hungry Gen, as well as we're doing a Sacrifice Sunday and Healing Service. I'm coming to Texas, San Antonio, February 25, 2026. V1 Conference on February 17th, but the place you don't want to miss is Hungry Gen, this coming Sunday. So, yeah. Is there a Zoom for this coming Sunday service? So, no, we don't have a Zoom, but you can join live on YouTube. So, we have to stop doing a Zoom for right now. We just encourage people to join live. How do we do a Transaction? How do we do a Transaction from India to your church's account? You can go on our website, hungrygen.com, and you can give directly through our website, to our... Thank you, Pastor Vlad, for leading this fast. Joshua, it's my pleasure. I don't have any plans to come to Denver. Can I break the fast by next Sunday, even though I will be on day 14th? Yeah, it's fine. Whatever you plan on your heart, it is easier to do it with the community. And so, yeah. You can break it next Sunday. We are from Tiber, Alberta, Canada. Our plan is to be there on Sunday morning. Oh, really? Pastor Cornelius, are you coming with Pastor John, or are you coming separately? Pastor Cornelius, if you can answer that to me on YouTube. Curious to know that? And so, we are believing for this Sunday to be a special service. When we finish our fast, we are believing for healing to be released. People will be praying for healing. We'll be giving our sacrifice. And also, on the last service, we'll be also doing deliverance. What is a sacrifice? What to sacrifice? Oh, it's... We sacrifice money. So, as we finish the fast, we've been praying, we've been fasting, and we're also going to do a special service where we give what matters to us a lot, what hurts. And so, we're going to bring it to the Lord. This time, we do have a need, but the need is that we just need to raise 3.5 million dollars. So, we are $600,000 in already. I do feel the Lord put on my heart that this Sunday, we will break a million. And it will help us to move into the first phase of the building. And the reason why we want to move into the first phase of the building is that, right now, we can seat 200 people in our church. We will be able to seat about 900, something, almost 1,000 people. And no, it's not about numbers, but we can reach more people for Christ. And so, this Sunday will be that sacrifice Sunday, and it will go for that purpose to help us build God's God's house. You're coming to California or Idaho. No plans. No, Maria, there is no zoom this Sunday. I apologize. Do you have a list of your itineraries? Yes. pastovlat.org forward slash events. All of my, when I'm speaking at Hungry Jan, when I'm speaking somewhere else, so I'm doing less travel this year. Just canceled two of my one trip to Romania and one trip to Germany. Then I had a trip actually this coming weekend to California to a lovely event where a lot of my friends are going to be there. And I think I saw the wife of Ray in the chat earlier today. But I'm not going to be able to do it because it was Sunday morning and because of the fast. And so, yeah, I take very little trips, but I usually just focus at home. So that's why I want to invite you guys to come to the church, to Hungry Jan. Is your church relocating to a larger sanctuary? Yes. We bought the place already. We bought the parking lot. So right now we are just raising funds to finish the remodel. Yeah. Elizabeth saying, I'm going to be there. Come on, Elizabeth. Can't wait to see you. Okay, I see you passed the Claudius. You're going to be with Pastor John looking forward to seeing you guys. I'm excited to hang out with you guys on Saturday. We're going to meet you, your team. And so, what are your results or the guy who died by suicide on Alan's show? I didn't watch Alan's show, so I don't know who died and who committed suicide. Natasha, thank you so much for your donation. Ancasha, Pavel, below. God bless you for your partnership. Brittany, thank you for your donation. And Sharma, thank you also for your donation on the website. How do we know if God is asking us to give a sacrificial? Just ask Him. Yeah, just ask Him. If He puts on your heart, that's amazing. If He doesn't, we answer to the Lord and He leads us. And so I do believe that we can be led by the Lord to give a sacrifice, but we can also purpose in our hearts to sacrifice. We just encourage people never to give a sacrifice of what they don't have. And if you're married, to always consult your spouse. So don't just go into your bank account. And then your spouse is going to kick you out of the house. So consult your spouse and then just ask the Lord. And whatever He puts on your heart, that's what you give as a sacrifice. I would challenge you to be to consider that as part of the fast as well, because it does grow us in the Lord. It does grow us. Not only our fasting and prayer, but also our giving. And for some of us, giving is the harder one. Fasting is slightly easier. And so I know myself from experience that giving for me has always been the harder one. Fasting has been a little bit easier. Prayer has been easier. But giving has been the hardest one. So God has been strengthening all of those muscles. Talk to the spouse. Let's try then, John. Talk to the spouse. Yeah. And you start doing these sacrifices. It's not going to go well for you if your spouse is not involved. Yeah. I feel like I have a calling, but I do not attend church. Should I join any local church? Junior Romero? Yes. If you have a calling, I do believe that you need to join a local church. Be a part of the local body. Now, you might not like a particular church. Just find a church that you can grow in. A church where you can serve. What is your favorite verse? Honestly, I can think of one, but Matthew 633 has been one of my good verses. Do you like video games? No, I don't. I don't play video games. I've never been good at video games even as a teenager. And so I've never developed a habit or an addiction. So I know video games are no-no for me. The big time waster. Alright, guys. Been good hanging out with you Junior Romero. It's gonna be day... That's fast. Is your dog okay? Yes, he was actually... The whole livestream, my dog was right here. And he was just lying over here and then... Yeah, he was actually sleeping. My sermon put him to sleep. And so... Yeah, and then he just woke up and started to bark. Do you like chosen TV show? I like chosen TV show. I don't believe it replaces the Bible. I believe a lot of things are over there stretched, but at the same time I think that chosen is really it's really nice. Makes me cry. And I like the fact that they emphasize miracles, you know, of Jesus. So, yeah. When is the sacrificial giving? It's this Sunday. The last day of the fast. We'll probably kind of focus on that sometime during this week just encourage you guys to pray about it. And I'm not here to tell you where to give and all that thing that's between you and the Lord. I could make suggestions but this Sunday we will invite our church and those people watching us live and we want to invite you to take part in that this Sunday. God bless you, Deborah from New Zealand. Is your deliverance course still available? Brian, Sierra, yes. Deliverance is still available. All of my e-courses are still available on my website and you can take them. Yes. Yomari, thank you for your donation. Thank you, Pastor Vlad. I was glad deeply in doing a full fast fasting. Come on. Today is your 21 day of fasting. God bless you. Where are you reading questions from? I'm reading it from everywhere. From the chat and a little bit from Instagram. Yeah, congratulations. Wow, so I'm assuming you're finishing the fast right now? If it's your 21st day? Yes, that's awesome. I know that quite a few people are fasting and today is their end. One of your favorite memories with your wife? A lot of them. You're listening Saroja from Sri Lanka. Amen. Thank you, guys. So, finish this again and you guys left the review already for the fast forward. Drop number one in the chat if you left the review for fast forward on the Amazon. If you have not drop number two and so Do you have a prophetic service? No, I do not have but my friend Pastor Ilya has prophetic services every Wednesday. So follow him on live stream and then you will be able to be blessed. So, you're from UK? I'm assuming you're only just tuning in right now. We have a water fast 21 days. Other people are doing other types of fasts. So, yeah. Jennifer, thank you for the review. Appreciate that. So, those of you who drop number two, come on. I am waiting for you. Let's go make it happen. Veronica is joining the fast tomorrow. Congratulations. Love it. Let's do it. Let's do it. We'll be together doing it. You're not going to be alone and then just join the live stream as well because these live streams, I know they do take time and I honestly, guys, I cleared pretty much, you know, my schedule so that I could just kind of bring an encouragement and for you during this time of fasting and I've gotten such a great response from so many of you who are saying, hey, I really been encouraged by that and so that's what I'm really doing. I do really help each and every one of you. Okay. Some of you are saying, I lost so much weight. Yeah, can't you tell? Like, I lost weight. I feel like my face is like shrunk. My barber told me, he's like, dude, stop fasting. I can't line up your beard now because of so many bones sticking out. So, yeah, somebody is saying you're struggling with gluttony. Try fasting. That helps. Breaks the stuff. Can I get your number? Yes, it's Jeremiah 33. Call on the Lord and I will answer you. So that's my number. I tell people that just call on the Lord. You know, and stuff. You don't need my number. You need to get the Lord's number. And so, yeah. So that's on that. How does digital deliverance work? So digital deliverance works is that you go through the e-course and if we go through the e-course in here, after you finish the deliverance e-course, you will get a link Oh, my Venmo was asking for your last digit. Oh, I apologize. You can actually still give without the last four digits. And so, it's 9287 or the last four digits. But at the same time, you can still get, you can choose not to submit the phone number and just give. So, yeah. But if you take the e-course and the deliverance prayers and then after you finish the deliverance prayers actually a lot of people get delivered after they finish the deliverance prayers. And then after that, you can actually, you will get a link to the digital deliverance. Now, the digital deliverance this is going to happen this Saturday but from my understanding it already, they already send the link for this Saturday. So most likely going to be next week that next month the digital deliverance will happen. What time did you start this live chat? I started at 7.30, so an hour ago. Just finished a 10 day fast. Congratulations. You got it. You got it. Keep going. Why no coffee? Or during the fast? No, I mean if you want to drink coffee, you can drink coffee just don't put regular milk for example, add coffee. Some people don't drink. It's better way better to just stay with water. I just did. I'm waiting for the zoom code. Oh, okay. So yeah, Pastor Rico is sending the zoom link for the digital deliverance this Saturday. When is the deliverance? So in person deliverance is on Sunday and then digital deliverance is on Saturday. Is God mad when you break the fast early? No, he's not. Pastor Vlad, after the 40 day fast, do I stick to bone broth? Yeah, bone broth and chicken broth and some other stuff you kind of want to break it very, very slowly for at least about 3 to 5 days and then about 6 days you can start slowly bringing in more slightly heavier foods. You definitely want to stay away from all the carbs. You really want to stay away from all the carbs for at least that week and maybe even next. And so yeah, I'm going to talk about that a little bit more this coming week and so yeah, Fast Forward is about fasting. Where can I download it? Such a good question. You can download it on pastovlad.org and you go straight here you see it says learn more and then you just go so you can click order now or you can just scroll down and free download and you can download it there. What kind of a fast can breast feeding mothers do? Daniel's fast probably but that's about it.
