We don’t just need only prayer but also fasting to break yokes, especially stubborn ones. Fasting is a key to a major breakthrough.
As good as fasting may be, it must not be viewed as a way of putting pressure on God for immediate answers to our prayers. We should see it more as a way of lifting up our spiritual life and moving closer to God. You cannot afford to live your life for the physical alone.You must take steps to grow your spiritual life .Remember, the spiritual controls the physical. Even Jesus, who came to live among men with the authority of the most high God,still had to fast. In the name of Jesus, every weapon formed up against your life, against your promotion, against ultimate peace and stability in your life, the Lord will arise and fight for you!Fasting is a period when we abstain from eating and drinking but intensify prayers,which moves us closer to God. The body is light and the Spirit is not too heavy to hear from God. Fasting teaches us to make sacrifice and present our burden to God .Apart from the spiritual gains of fasting, there are also physical gains of fasting. Fasting clears the body of toxins. It brings relief and rest to your digestive system and lowers blood and bad cholesterol.
Besides these, fasting, sharpens your mental capacity. It also makes you loose weight. It also brings a change in our emotional attitude.
However, people with health challenges may not engage in fasting but can move closer to God by intensifying prayers.Spiritual gains of fasting is a time for soul cleansing and a new desire for God.More importantly,it is a FAITH MOVE.When we fast, it is an expectation that God will fill us with the Holy Spirit.
The period of fasting is also a time for “Sensitivity to God’s words”.
ATOF prays your fasting releases spiritual power in Jesus’s name!
