He Left, She Fasted, and God Intervened: Keyla’s Journey of Marriage Restoration

How Keyla Reclaimed Her Marriage through Fasting

Life is full of unexpected turns, and for Keyla Santos from the United States, her journey of faith began with heartbreak. In October 2020, the unthinkable happened—her husband left her for another woman. The pain felt insurmountable, but rather than letting it consume her, she turned to the one source she knew could offer true healing and marriage restoration: God.

The Moment Everything Changed

“In October 2020, my husband abandoned me and left with another woman,” Keyla recalls.

The heartbreak was unbearable. Her home, her life, and her heart felt shattered. But Keyla didn’t let despair define her. Instead, she found herself drawn closer to God, seeking His presence through prayer and devotion.

“In my personal prayer and devotion time, I began to lean into God like never before,” she says. It was in those quiet moments—just her and the Lord—that she found her strength.

Keyla took an extraordinary step of faith: committing to hours of daily prayer and an intense 40-day fast for her marriage restoration.

“I got closer to God. God healed me, and by reading the scripture, praying over five hours daily, fasting for 40 days, now I can say my soul belongs to my Savior, Jesus.”

The Power of Prayer and Fasting

Keyla’s testimony is a living example of the ability of prayer and fasting to bring about profound changes in our lives. Her dedication to seeking God’s will wasn’t just about healing her pain; it became a complete renewal of her spirit.

During those 40 days of fasting, she didn’t just pray for her marriage restoration—she prayed for herself, her family, and her relationship with God. Through her obedience and faith, she experienced the desired spiritual breakthroughs.

After a year apart, Keyla witnessed a miracle: her husband returned.

“He returned after a year. Once the bone breaks and heals, it becomes stronger than before. I can say God has been our way since I found Him through the Holy Spirit.”

Battles Beyond the Surface

Keyla’s journey wasn’t limited to visible struggles. She faced spiritual battles that tested her faith in ways she could never have imagined.

“There is so much I can say from this testimony: witchcraft involved and generational curses, fights in the middle of the night with demons.”

These weren’t battles fought with words or actions but with prayer and the power of the Holy Spirit. Keyla’s unwavering faith became her shield, and God’s promises became her sword.

The Role of a Faithful Community

Keyla’s spiritual growth was nurtured through powerful sermons and teachings, which helped her stand firm in her faith.

“I praise the Lord for His forgiveness and thank you for all those sermons and teaching because I have learned so much.”

She expresses deep gratitude for the ministry of Pastor Vlad Savchuk, whose messages and fasting challenges have inspired believers around the world. As 2025 begins, Pastor Vlad is leading a 21-day fasting challenge, encouraging others to experience the power of fasting and prayer just as Keyla did.

“I wish we had leaders and churches around my area like yours, with so much anointing. God bless you and your family and the congregation,” she says with gratitude.

Redemption Through Faith

Keyla’s testimony is about far more than a marriage restoration, reconciliation with her husband—it’s about the redeeming power of God’s grace. Her story shows that no situation is beyond His ability to heal and restore.

A Challenge to Seek God

How to Approach a Successful Fast

Are you ready to take a step of faith like Keyla did? Begin your own journey of healing and renewal today. Seek God’s guidance, commit to a fast, and open your heart to His transformative power. Whether it’s for personal healing, intercession, or clarity in your calling, fasting can bring breakthroughs you never imagined. Start now, and trust God to lead you every step of the way.

Tips for a Successful Fast:

• Prepare Physically and Spiritually: Before fasting, reduce caffeine, sugar, and processed foods, and dedicate time to reading the Word of God and praying.
• Set Clear Intentions and Seek God’s Guidance: Identify the purpose of your fast, write down specific prayer points, and stay focused on your spiritual goals.
• Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water, herbal teas, and electrolyte solutions to maintain your energy and hydration.
• Read the Word of God and Pray: Spend time daily in scripture with prayer and meditation to grow your connection with God and to hear from the Holy Spirit.
• Remain Committed: Lean on God for strength, avoid distractions, and seek support from a faith-based community if needed.
• Break the Fast Gradually: After fasting, reintroduce food with light meals like fruits or broth, and ensure you stay hydrated. Avoid returning immediately to heavy eating, as this may cause issues in your stomach. Stay away from heavy and spicy foods.
