Real Stories of People Who Fasted for Breakthrough

Jentezen Franklin

Jentezen Franklin began fasting as a young pastor seeking deeper intimacy with God. What started as a personal act of surrender became the foundation of a global ministry. Through regular 21-day fasts, he experienced breakthrough in his church, clarity in leadership, and a fresh outpouring of God’s presence. His story has inspired millions to pursue God through fasting with faith and focus.

David Yonggi Cho

David Yonggi Cho, pastor of the world’s largest church in South Korea, made fasting a normal part of his ministry rhythm. Before every major decision—whether starting a church, building a campus, or sending missionaries—he would retreat for prayer and fasting. Those moments produced supernatural vision, unity, and explosive growth, all rooted in humble dependence on God.

Heidi Baker

Heidi Baker was on the verge of burnout when she entered a season of fasting. Isolated and weary, she turned to God in desperation—and through extended fasting, she encountered waves of healing, joy, and divine instruction. That season birthed Iris Ministries, which has since brought revival and miracles across Mozambique and the world.

Lou Engle

Lou Engle has fasted for decades as a prophetic intercessor and movement leader. His forty-day fasts have led to national prayer gatherings, spiritual awakenings, and the launch of global initiatives like The Call. Lou’s story proves that when one person fasts in obedience, nations can be changed by the ripple effect.

Mahesh Chavda

Mahesh Chavda shares how fasting became the gateway to miraculous encounters—including seeing the dead raised. As a pastor, he began setting aside seasons of fasting for healing and deliverance. God responded with supernatural signs and wonders that still mark his ministry today.

Esther (Biblical)

Esther (Biblical) called a three-day fast when her people were on the verge of destruction. She risked everything to approach the king—and her bold obedience, fueled by fasting, changed the course of history. Her story remains a timeless reminder of how fasting unlocks divine favor and deliverance.
