I need help please!!!! I've tried to fast several times but I feel in my heart that I'm not fully telling my flesh no. I've struggled with this before and everytime I try to make the effort I hit a spiritual brick wall and allow the advisary to stop my effort. What can I do to not allow the advisary to get a hold of my flesh and overpower me.

pray to God. did you ask him if he wanted you to fast or did you decide yourself. maybe your nor fasting the right thing. fasting can be anything you spend alot of time on or with. for example maybe your computer.

well you should pray for strength to overcome the flesh and try reading your bible as you do it. keep in tune with God . as long as it is not a self sacrifice or you trying to show off to God you should be fine. hopefully next time goes right.

you need to tell a few friends that are strong prayer warriors so they can be praying for you. fasting isn't something that is easy to do alone.

Matthew 6:17-18
But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face;
That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto they Father which is in secret: and they Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

well in other words unless your doing a group fast your supposed to keep it to yourself it is a time between you and God

It's not supposed to be easy an example of that is when Jesus fasted for forty days the devil trying to tempt him.
but it also brings up another good point it's good to be strong in God's word so you can fight against the temptations and attacks of the devil. you can read more on this in the book of matthew chapter four,verses 1-11
