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!
