“However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.” – MATTHEW 17:21
Fasting is beneficial for the human spirit, and since God interacts with our spirit, the more we fast, the more our spirit becomes open to Him. It enhances our prayer life and adds power to it. Every child of God who desires a deeper prayer life must embrace the practice of fasting. Fasting also generates significant spiritual energy.
I have often stood for no less than six hours every Friday during all-night services, and people frequently ask where I find the strength. Fasting is the most effective spiritual weapon for releasing spiritual energy. It helps you focus more on God and His Word, in a way you wouldn’t typically on a regular day. It releases the anointing and power of God upon your life. If you want to flow in the anointing without struggle, commit to a life of fasting. It’s a way to renew your strength.
PRAYER:
Pray and ask God to help you develop a life of fasting and prayer.
