About Prayer & Fasting

 

Since you’re here, I guess you are interested in fasting and prayers.

 

Here’s something I think would help your understanding about prayer & fasting. It is a brief write-up I made from Dr. Myles Munroe’s teaching on prayer and fasting. I saw a video of the message on YouTube a long time ago, and I have included that link at the end of this post.

 

So, here it is!

 

THE PRINCIPLES OF FASTING

• Fasting is not just missing a meal.

• Fasting is not dieting.

• Fasting demands replacing meals with the reading of the word and prayer.

• Fasting demands dedicating time for meditation.

• Fasting requires spending much time in the word

 

THE BENEFITS OF FASTING

• Increased spiritual capacity

• A clear sober mind

• A pure heart and mind

• Hunger for God and his word

• Physical health

• Loss of excess weight

• Purified body

• Spiritual freedom

• Physical freedom

• Spirit of giving

• Your light shines (evil powers can’t withstand your presence)

• Protection by God

• Answers to prayers

• Intimacy with God

• Increased retention capacity

 

THE AFFECTS OF FASTING

• Fasting changes you (not God)

• Fasting doesn’t move God (moves you into better positioning)

• Fasting increases our spiritual capacity

• Fasting breaks habits and spiritual bondage

• Fasting quiets the heart to hear God’s voice
