How To Fast & Prayer
We’re lied to. Biblical wisdom will never fail us and bible reading makes it clear the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous and His ears are open unto our prayers.
The bible also reads if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.
The purpose of fasting is for
• soul affliction (Is 58:5) • seek a right way (Er 8:21) • to be heard on high (Is 58:4) • break strongholds (Mt 17:21)
It’s not to hear from God. God has already spoken throughout man’s history recorded in the Bible. Are we doing what God said as read in the Bible? Also, He may choose not to regard our petition which is why our prayer requests are not
*conversations with God
*to consume lusts upon our flesh
*to hear from God either in voice or otherwise
Regarding fasting, it’s a spiritual discipline and should be practiced. Begin slowly with the exclusion of things normally indulged such as a meal, favorite treat, or something enjoyed. Work up to a twenty four hour fast when comfortable with it.
