MESSAGE ABOUT FASTING

Fasting and prayer is one of the most powerful spiritual combinations on earth. True fasting brings humility and alignment with God. It breaks the power of flesh and brings down demonic strongholds. It defeats unbelief and increases the level of our faith.

 

There is Supernatual Power released through fasting because fasting puts us in harmony with our All Powerful, Almighty God who demands humility from those who desire to be close to Him and walk in His power. Fasting humbles the flesh, helps purify the soul and consecrates the spirit. When we sacrifice unto the Lord during prayer and fasting, it pleases the Spirit of God, touches the Heart of Christ and opens the Hand of God.
