Why Fast? Part 1
But in all things we commend ourselves as ministers of God: in much patience, in tribulations, in needs, in distresses, in stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labors, in sleeplessness, in fastings, by purity, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Spirit, by sincere love (2 Cor. 6:4-6).
1. We fast in obedience to God’s Word.
2. We fast to humble ourselves before God and obtain His grace and power.
3. We fast to overcome temptations in areas that keep us from moving in God’s power.
Fasting is a tool deeply embedded in Scripture. Time and again you find that when Israel was in crisis they turned to God in fasting and prayer and God stretched forth His arm to save them. We see Jesus fasting before He began His ministry in the power of the Spirit. The Apostles fasted for breakthrough and direction. It is the way that we can “go low” so that God can lift us up, give us His direction, and release His supernatural power for us and for others through us.
Prayer:
Lord, you say that you give grace to the humble. As I humble myself in this season of fasting, I pray for Your grace to fill me. I pray for your anointing to break the yokes of oppression of (infirmity, depression, poverty…______________) over (me, my family, nation… _____________).

When I originally commented I clicked the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get four emails with the same comment. Is there any way you can remove me from that service? Thanks!

Jesus asked an amazing question related to prayer: “When the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?” In other words, Jesus is saying that your faith is directly expressed by your prayer life.

The enemy hates prayer, particularly corporate prayer, because he knows that when two or more come into agreement with the Holy Spirit, the devil will lose every time. |
