UNDERSTANDING THE BLESSEDNESS OF PRAYER AND FASTING. (Part 2)

It is truly the understanding of the blessedness of prayer and fasting that will make you an ever loving student of the virtue of prayer and fasting. If the understanding is not in place, you will continue playing. But, when understanding comes, then your position changes automatically. 1 These 5:17.

“Pray without ceasing” is a command from the scripture. So, if you belong to the kingdom you must be a lover of prayer. If you are in the kingdom and you despair positive changes or improvement, then you must love fasting. Matt 17: 21. When we have the understanding of this scripture, things begin to take a new turn. God will always intervene in this world to answer prayers. There is no heartfelt prayer that is said to God that He will turn down. God will never look away from your prayer. He is ready to answer and even do it beyond your expectations. So, a people that loves to pray will be a reliable force to the Lord while a people who are prayer-less will be hindrance to the course of the kingdom. There is no case beyond divine restoration. Jonah and Job in the scripture were totally restored.

PROFITABLE APPROACH TO FASTING

(1). Engage in kingdom promotion prayer. Matt 6: 6 .Praying for the

     church, ministers of God, expansion of the church of God.

     Matt 6:33

(2). We must come thanking, praising, worshipping and hallowing His

name. Matt 6:9, Ps 100:4. You can never be thankful until your heart is thankful.

(3). We must come boldly and not beggarly. Acts 14:3, Heb 4:16. It is

     through boldness that you get what belongs to you. Prov 28:1

(4). Engage the force of faith. Its faith filled prayer and fasting

     that produces power. Matt 21:21-22.

When we fast, we are blessed. Fasting facilitate empowerment for dominion. Isa. 58:6, Lk 4:14-37. You are created for dominion.
