Prayer and Fasting

When you pray.  Not if but when you pray.  It’s a given that all of us should pray.  You need to take the initiative; stir yourself up to pray.  The spirit of prayer precedes breakthroughs and opens up opportunities for the gospel to be shared and releases the supernatural power of God.  You to live in an atmosphere of prayer so become easily moved to pray for different things you encounter.  

When you fast …implying that you should.  The Bible clearly tells us that spiritual fasting intensifies prayer.  Jesus himself fasted 40 days at the beginning of His ministry.  So, He expects His followers to fast from time to time too.  Paul let’s us know that it’s a vital part of his life.

Fasting and prayer aligns you to the purpose God has for you.  Often, we have ‘tunnel vision’ and only see the immediate, but God sees around the corner of our lives and moves us toward that.  Though you may not always understand the mystery of fasting and prayer, you need to know and see you set aside the ‘appetites’ of the flesh to seek God, you are clearing the space you need for Him to come and speak with you and you are calling out to Him to quench your thirsty heart with His presence.  Sounds like a perfect piece of our foundations!
