Jesus said in Matthew 17:21, \u201cHowbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.\u201d There are stubborn situations that will not bow to ordinary prayers; they demand the sacrifice of fasting. Fasting does not change God\u2014it changes you. It quiets your flesh, sharpens your spirit, and gives your prayer greater penetration. Many believers pray but refuse to fast, and so they lack power to handle certain battles. Fasting is not starvation for dieting purposes; it is consecration that focuses your spirit on God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Isaiah 58:6 says, \u201cIs not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?\u201d True fasting is not a hunger strike\u2014it is a spiritual weapon. It is not merely staying away from food but separating yourself unto God, breaking yokes, and lifting burdens in prayer. Fasting amplifies intercession and weakens satanic resistance. Jesus Himself began His ministry with forty days of prayer and fasting. If the Son of God needed fasting, who are we to treat it as optional? Many of the giants of faith we read about carried unusual fire because they embraced fasting regularly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Beloved, embrace fasting as part of your spiritual discipline.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Let it not be only when the church declares it; choose personal seasons to combine fasting with prayer. Approach it with the right heart\u2014humility, repentance, and focus on God. Do not fast and quarrel or gossip; such fasts are wasted efforts. Use the time you would have eaten to pray, study, and seek God\u2019s face. As you do, expect stubborn yokes to break and doors to open. Fasting makes your spirit sensitive and your prayer altar sharp. Today, ask the Lord to give you the discipline to add fasting to your prayer life. In this generation of comfort and distraction, fasting remains a forgotten weapon. Recover it, and you will see uncommon victories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>THOUGHT TO PONDER:<\/strong> Do I see fasting as a burden or as a weapon? How can I incorporate fasting into my prayer life for sharper results and deeper encounters?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote quote-simple is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><strong>PRI\u00c8RE:<\/strong> <strong>Lord, strengthen me to embrace fasting with prayer.
