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

  • Spiritual discipline

  • 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
