Before I continue watching after 2min in I would like to add: everytime I'm fasting I start to notice how much positive attention I'm receiving. I didn't understand it at first but now I'm fully aware of the spiritual energy I feel when fasting. I thank our Lord and savior Jesus Christ for giving me the experience to fast here and there just so I can witness the power and strength of the holy Spirit 🙏.
Wean yourself off of the trappings and temptations of the world and fill your heart and mind with the Word of God, make your thoughts and actions pleasing to Him. Nothing is wasted of what we do when we belong to God and we are directed by Him. God says all things work together for the Good for those who belong to Him. We can pray for those who have been deceived and those who have rejected God and are destined for destruction (hell)… pray that they repent and turn their hearts to Jesus and be saved and be filled with the Holy Spirit.

Is fasting a Christian "requirement" ? Please note what Jesus said to those who were "fasters", as seen at Matthew 9: "Then John’s disciples came to him and asked: “Why do we and the Pharisees practice fasting but your disciples do not fast ?” At this Jesus said to them: “The friends of the bridegroom have no reason to mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them, do they ? But days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast. Nobody sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old outer garment, for the new piece pulls away from the garment and the tear becomes worse. Nor do people put new wine into old wineskins. If they do, then the wineskins burst and the wine spills out and the wineskins are ruined. But people put new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved.”(Matt 9:14-17; see also Mark 2:18-22; Luke 5:33-35)
What did Jesus mean by "old wineskins"and "new wineskins" ? The "old wineskins" were the false religious teachings of Judaism that God has rejected, with its "fastings".(see Lev 16:29-31, whereby the Jews were told to "afflict their souls" on the Day of Atonement [see Isa 58:3, 4], which is understood as meaning fasting, but which the Pharisees took to extreme)
The Pharisees (or Peru·shim´, likely meant “separated ones") fasted twice a week, tithed scrupulously (Matt 9:14; Luke 11:42; 18:11, 12), prided themselves on being righteous (actually self-righteous) and looked down on the common Jewish people, calling them by the Hebrew term ‛am-ha·’a´rets, that literally means "people of the land" (Gen 23:7), using it in a contemptuous sense (as "the unlearned multitude"), calling them "accursed people" at John7:49.
According to one scholar, the Pharisees taught that one should neither trust the ‛am-ha·’a´rets or common Jew with valuables, nor trust their testimony, nor entertain them as guests, nor be their guests, nor even buy from them. The religious leaders said that for one’s daughter to marry one of these people would be like exposing her bound and helpless to a beast, but for whom Jesus felt pity, preaching "the good news of the Kingdom" to them.(Matt 9:35, 36)
The "new wineskins" was "the good news of the Kingdom" (see Matt 24:14), "the truth" (see John 8:31, 32), that Jesus brought to the Jews and that did NOT mix at all with "the old winskins" of false, twisted Judaism. At Luke 16:16, Jesus told the wicked Pharisees: "The Law and the Prophets were until John. From then on, the Kingdom of God is being declared as good news, and every sort of person is pressing forward toward it."
So, the religious "fasting" that the Pharisees entertained, ended with Jesus Christ and with the establishment of Christianity on the day of Pentecost 33 C.E. (Note: there is only one account of Christians "fasting", when the congregation in Antioch, Syria, fasted and prayed concerning Barnabas and Saul, in which Jehovah's [God's name, see Isa 12:2, KJV] holy spirit "said": "Set aside Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them", Acts 13:1-3, to go into the missionary work)
