Hey Family 💜 Welcome back to P.I.M.P. My Life™ — where we walk together in Prayer, Intention, Meaning, and Purpose, and learn to live life on God’s terms.
I’m your host, Shawn Renee, and this is another episode of P.I.M.P. Talks™.
In this episode — Fasting with Understanding — we’re breaking down what it really means to fast the way God intended. Fasting shakes the atmosphere, but fasting without understanding is like running a race with no finish line. It’s not about skipping meals or proving how spiritual you are — it’s about alignment, obedience, and revelation.
💬 I get transparent about how I used to think fasting was about me — my sacrifice, my hunger, my willpower. But God revealed that fasting is about Him — it’s an invitation to sit with the Father, hear clearly, and walk in His instruction. When Jesus fasted forty days, it wasn’t about deprivation; it was about direction. It wasn’t about what He gave up — it was about what He received.
Fasting positions your heart before God. It’s a posture of surrender that realigns your spirit to His Word and His will.
When you stop feeding your flesh, your spirit becomes sensitive to the voice of God.
📖 Scriptures Mentioned:
• Jeremiah 15:16 — “Thy words were found, and I did eat them.”

• Isaiah 58:6 — “Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness...”
• John 4:23–24 — “True worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth.”

• The difference between religious fasting and relationship fasting
• How to replace meals with Word, prayer, and worship

• How fasting strengthens your faith and shifts the atmosphere
🎙️ Fasting with Understanding reminds us that fasting isn’t about starving — it’s about strengthening. It’s not about emptying your plate; it’s about filling your spirit. God doesn’t want your hunger — He wants your heart. When you fast with understanding, you don’t just give something up; you gain clarity, direction, and power.
