Fasting in prayer is the least taught and modeled spiritual discipline in the Body of Christ.
Why fast and pray? Here are some insights for considerations:
- To Breakthrough impasses of situations and strongholds
- To Expose hidden darkness
- To Deal with the deep root of doubts and unbelief
- To Grow faith that can move mountains
- To Put flesh to death
- To enable freedom of the Holy Spirit to work within me
- To Release the power of God
- To Build up my spirit in His Spirit
- To Move me to a place to receive from God
- To Operate out of His Spirit instead of my flesh
- To Enter into His presence and His rest
- To Wait upon God for His Word and His prophetic words to come to pass
- To Hear from God and to receive insights and guidance from His Spirit
