Greetings Saints,
Please see below a note of our sermon:
We serve a God of principle. Until we do what is right according to God’s principles, the principle still stands.
There are certain levels we will not reach until we learn to pray and fast. Certain battles require the principle of prayer and fasting; therefore, we must learn to stick to the principles of God.
Fasting is not only about denying ourselves food. It is also about denying the flesh and the way we do things, and choosing God’s way. It is exchanging the needs of the physical body for the things of the spiritual body.
Judges 20:26–28 shows Israel seeking God through prayer, fasting and sacrifice before going into battle. There are certain situations where we need to seek God through prayer and fasting and be willing to sacrifice.
1 Samuel 7:6 shows the Israelites fasting and confessing their sins before God. We must also use prayer and fasting to humble ourselves, repent and seek God’s face.
2 Samuel 12:15–23 shows David fasting and praying concerning his sick child. There are situations concerning our children and families that require us to seek God through prayer and fasting.
Let us also bring before God the things we have battled with, including unhealthy patterns from our past and upbringing, and seek Him for freedom and transformation.
We must train our bodies to fast. Fasting should not only happen when we are desperate; it should become part of our spiritual discipline. We are fighting the flesh so that we can do the will of God.
Fasting brings personal revival. It helps us seek God’s face, become spiritually sensitive and draw closer to Him.
This week, we will fast every morning until 10:00am.
Scriptures for the week:
• Ezra 8:21–23�• Nehemiah 1:4; 9:1–2�• Esther 4:16; 9:3�• Psalm 35:13–14; 69:10–11�• Jeremiah 36:9
To Do This Week:
1. Fast every morning until 10:00am.
2. Pray every morning before breaking your fast.
3. Read and meditate on the Scriptures for the week.
4. Come to church spiritually hungry and expectant.
Let us seek God, pray, fast and stand firmly on His principles. The principle still stands.
