The Power of Prayer and Fasting Pt2

One of the most powerful ways to draw near to God is in the discipline of fasting and prayer. Fasting is a spiritual discipline seen in the Old and New Testaments. When we fast, we are saying to God that hearing from Him, seeking His face, and spending time with Him is so important that I’m going to lay down everything else and devote time to Him because His will, His power, His presence, His guidance and direction, His approval, His wisdom, His answer is what we desire most in our lives.

Fasting is the most powerful spiritual discipline of all the Christian disciplines. Through fasting and prayer, the Holy Spirit can transform your life. Fasting is not commanded in Scripture, but it is necessary. You can be saved without fasting, but you cannot walk in certain levels of spiritual power and authority without the discipline of fasting.
