“FASTING MERITS & BENEFITS”
Saints of God Most High, hear God’s word for you today:
“Adonai will always guide you; He will satisfy your needs in the desert, He will renew the strength in your limbs; so that you will be like a watered garden, like a spring whose water never fails.” (Isaiah 58:11)
The Lord, Adonai ELOHIM shall guide you continually and satisfy you in drought and in dry places and make your bones strong. And you shall be like a watered garden and like a spring of water whose waters fail not in Jesus’ mighty name, Amen!
MERITS AND BENEFITS OF FASTING
- Fasting is a means of genuine repentance for restoration. (Joel 2:12-13)
- Fasting adds quality to our prayer which enables God to release His power on our behalf.
- Fasting helps for individual spiritual growth and wisdom in revelationary knowledge. (Daniel 10:2-3)
- Fasting brings about God’s consciousness amongst the believers. (Joel 1:13-14 / 2:12-20)
- Fasting humbles our soul to God and also proves our seriousness in our relationship with God.
- It brings about deliverance and liberation from bondages. (Isaiah 58:6-12)
- It helps in the selection of workers for the ministry. (Acts 13:1-4)
Fasting is a powerful aid to our prayer. (Matthew 17:17-21) - Fasting makes us to realize that food is not everything in the life of a Christian. (Philippians 3:19)
- It subdues our flesh and enables us to triumph over fleshly desires. (1 Corinthians 9:27)
- It enables us to eliminate unbelief and doubt but helps us to build up our faith and spiritual life in God. With much prayer and fasting, the absolute will of God for His people will be determined.
- Signs and wonders happen in our meetings, conferences and our local church services because much tears have been shed through fasting and prayer in the closet.
- Assuredly, you shall experience divine supernatural manifestation of God, Adonai Yahweh in this special season of humbling our souls before Him in Jesus’ mighty name, Amen!
Everybody shout, “HALLELUJAH AMEN!”
Shalom and good morning.
