Fasten your prayers !
While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.” So after they had FASTED AND PRAYED, they placed their hands on them and sent them off. – Acts 13:2-3
Fasting is a key to the impossible. If you go through the Bible you will notice that many difficult problems and situations were addressed by ‘FASTED’ PRAYER. Fasting can be described as fastening your prayer. Jesus said that there are some problems that can only be fixed by prayer and fasting (Matthew 17:21).
Fasting increases the power of prayer several times over. As you separate certain days for prayers, you are encouraged to add fasting. There are different kinds of fasting. If you can skip dinner SO as to pray prayers effectively in the night, that’s better. Whichever kind of fasting you decide to do, whether it is 6-10am, 6-12:00 noon, 6PM-6AM, that’s okay. If you have not fasted before, it’s advised that you start small and grow with time.
WHEN you fast and pray, the chains of injustice against your life and family will be destroyed; the yoke on your life or any member of your family will be loosed; you and your family members will be set free from the oppression of the devil; and the Holy Spirit will speak and give you direction as to what to do next.
Your brother in Christ,
Apostle Ashok Martin
