Title: The fruit of prayer with fasting.

“Is not this the fast that I have chosen? 

to loose the bands of wickedness, 

to undo the heavy burdens, 

and to let the oppressed go free, 

and that ye break every yoke?

Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, 

and thine health shall spring forth speedily: 

and thy righteousness shall go before thee; 

the glory of the Lord shall be thy rearward.” Isaiah? ?58:6, 8? ?KJV??.

It is critical for the child of God to understand that sometimes you need to seek the Lord God in prayer with fasting, 

which is abstaining from food and drink for the purpose of seeking God

 and breaking through spiritual barriers.

 Fasting draws us closer to God allowing you to hear from Him more clearly

when it is critical to receive specific instructions from Him (Ezra 8:21). 

Fasting is also critical for breaking down the power of the enemy satan in the name of Jesus Christ, 

to loose people from demonic forces of wickedness, 

to undo heavy burdens, to let oppressed go free and break every  joke of the enemy.

 Remember Jesus Christ fasted for 40 days and 40 nights before being tempted by satan. (Matthew 4:1-2).

 When His disciples failed to cast a demon spirit, 

He told them such demons go not away except by prayer and fasting (Matthew 17:21). 

In Daniel 10:12-13 we read of how an answer to prayer was intercepted by a demon called the prince of Persia

 and Daniel fasted for 21 days and finally obtained his breakthrough. 

Point of reflection:

The Almighty God honours your prayer with fasting.

 He says when you pray with fasting for yourself and others

 your light will break forth as the morning, 

your health, spiritual and physical will spring forth steadily, 

your righteousness will go before you

 and the glory of God will be your rear guard- will cover your back.

 Glory be to God forevermore.

  If you desire this-

Call for action: Pick a day of the week (like today) when you will omit breakfast, 

lunch and afternoon tea to call upon God for the deliverance and salvation of souls in your own nation.

 Give us feedback of your experience. Fasting is a spiritual exercise and therefore needs to be done in faith.

 Remember your body gets used to fasting- the more often you do it

 the less onerous  it becomes and the more fulfilling it will get.

 If you have medical conditions requiring medications- you may need medical counsel.

Prayer: 

Heavenly Father as we come together in corporate prayer for Planet Earth, 

we bring every nation before you and we cry for salvation of souls, 

we command the enemy satan, in the name of Jesus Christ

 to let the people of God go free to serve the living God. 

We bring before you those regions of the world with wars and conflict-

 we ask for peace and break the demons of blood-shed.

 We pray for regions with disasters, hunger, disease and other humanitarian crises-

 we ask for bowls of mercy to intervene. 

We break every demonic force in the name of Jesus Christ.

We ask you  Father to move by your Spirit across Planet Earth.

As your word is preached- confirm your word with signs following 

and undeniable miracles in the name of Jesus Christ. 

We bring before you national leaders and ask for your wisdom as they make decisions 

so that your people may lead quiet and peacable lives in all godliness and honesty.

We ask in the name of Jesus Christ.  Amen.
