Joel1:14,
James4:3, Mt.7:7-12.
What is fasting? Fasting is the voluntary abstinence
from physical food and/or drink in order to attain spiritual fulfillment. It is
a time of separation to study God’s Word, elevate our faith and pray according
to His will/word so that He alone receives all the glory. It is a time of
solemn meditation and gathering among God’s people to cry with one voice and
faith unto the LORD for a miraculous visitation- Joel1:14. Fasting is a
decisive intention not to partake of physical food because your spiritual
hunger is high or deep. It is not hunger strike; fasting without prayer is
hunger strike!
Why do we fast? Certain feats would not be achieved
without fasting and prayer-Mk9:29,
Mt17:14-21. Fasting builds our faith and confidence to achieve and make the
impossible possible. Calamities are averted, deliverance and healings come, mountains
are surmounted and blessings are released- Jonah3:1-10, Acts12:5-11.
In the
season of fasting and prayer, as we condition our mind and avoid unnecessary
distraction, the Holy Spirit helps us to pray aright and pray with the right
intentions- Rm8:26, James4:3. He helps us to pray for results that bring glory
to His name alone. The more you are concerned about praying for the church of
God, the more God will be concerned about you or your situation. So, fast with
the right motive and pray as appropriate, by His grace.
As we all,
in the unity of faith and Spirit of Christ, prepare to fast and pray for the
advancement of God’s kingdom, your life and everything that pertains to you
will advance, in Jesus’ mighty name. God will perfect that which concerns you
all-round, by His grace.- Prov11:25, Psa138:8.
With
Christ on our side, victory is sure!
You are
blessed!
