The Untapped Power of Prayer & Fasting

As a spiritual family, we have entered into a season of grace from God! In his goodness, the Lord has led us to a special season of prayer. He knows full well our need for him. May we acknowledge our need for God and seek him humbly is this season of prayer and fasting. I firmly believe that the help that we all need is from God! The Lord uses human instruments to deliver the help, but the help ultimately is from him. We access the resources of heaven through prayer. Prayer is greatly enhanced by fasting (abstaining from foods, but not liquids, for a period of time to accomplish a spiritual purpose). As I studied the idea of fasting in the Bible and how it is practiced by Christ-followers in different parts of the world, I am amazed at how beneficial prayer and fasting is. At the same time, I am also saddened that such a powerful tool from God is unused by so many who claim to be Christ-followers. Prayer and fasting is a practice that you and I need to understand more and do more! It is free (and actually pocket-friendly in many ways), but it is so positive and beneficial. As we study prayer with fasting today, allow the Lord to expand your mind and heart, and enlarge the set of spiritual disciplines that you practice or apply as a Christ-follower. You will be delighted at the transformation that will come to your life as you incorporate prayer with fasting into your life. Blessings on you today and for the whole year!
