Mike and I are well acquainted in the power of prayer and fasting.  I encourage you to read Isaiah 58:6-12. Note what God  says about the kind of fast He desires and the promises that come with it. You will see fasting in a whole new light.

We watched a lot of podcasts showing the spiritual benefits of fasting. The following are YouTube should you wish to check them out for yourself:

I like to journal while on a fast. This is where I record what we’re believing God for during this fast. We love it when prayers get answered quickly,but when we have to wait, know God will answer in His time and way.

In my early Christian walk, I didn’t know much about fasting. I was grateful for the books on fasting the Lord put in my path. One of my favorite is Jentezen Franklin’s book, The Fasting Edge, that is kept in my Faith Library.

If you have never participated in a Biblical fast, I encourage you to try. Check out the podcasts I listed above and learn more about the power of prayer and fasting. I can tell you about it; however, it’s much more beneficial when you experience it for yourself.

I pray God will show you personally, the power that comes from prayer and fasting.
