Welcome to Day 1 OF OUR MAY SOLEMN ASSEMBLY OF PRAYER - PERFECT HEART MAY
As we enter into this first day of Perfect Heart May Solemn Assembly of prayer and fasting, I believe it is imperative for God's people to understand the culture of fasting that must accompany prayer in God's house of prayer.
Fasting was a part of the culture of the church that was seen in the Antioch Church in Acts 13:1. And if we are to endure this season(s) in the earth before His return we must return this virtue to a regular part of our lifestyle in Christ Church of the 21st century.
13 Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.
2 As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.
Fasting Prepares you to Pray and Say with Power One of the things that helps us receive faster from the Spirit is to fast food to turn down the volume of the flesh. Fasting doesn’t get God to do anything for you that he hasn’t already promised in His word, but it helps you believe and receive what He’s promised.
There are some things you won’t receive in prayer until you add fasting to your praying to silence the carnal mind, to hear and obey God’s Spirit immediately. Mar 9:29 And he said unto them, this kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.
The Spirit is preparing the Church for the greatest revival and the most intense pressure in human history. Radical changes are needed, but they will surely come.
The Church will be prepared before Jesus returns (Rev. 19:7). What the Western church accepts as normal will change dramatically. How do we cooperate with the Spirit so that we may talk and walk in the intimacy and power that the New Testament church walked in? Part of the answer is to embrace the fasted lifestyle. This speaks of walking in the spirit of fasting in food, finances, and the use of our time, words, and energy.
We fast both to walk in more of God’s power to change the world, and to encounter more of His heart to change our heart! The idea that fasting changes us internally is a new idea to some.
Fasting results in tenderizing our hearts. When this occurs, we make different choices, which lead to different outcomes in the places we go and the people we meet. When our values are different, it affects who we marry, how we raise children, how we spend our money, and what focus we have in ministry.
Fasting embraces voluntary weakness in order to experience more of God’s power and presence. It is a paradox that we become weak in the natural in order to receive more strength from the Spirit.
Jesus revealed to Paul that the release of God’s power in his life was connected to his willingness to embrace weakness. This revelation is foundational to understanding the purpose of fasting. 9“My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” (2 Cor. 12:9)
Five different type of food fasts:
1. The regular fast is going without food and drinking only water or that which has no calories.
2. The liquid fast is going without solid food and drinking only light liquids (like fruit juices).
3. The partial fast, or Daniel fast, abstains from tasty foods and eats only vegetables or nuts, etc.
4. The Benedict Fast established by Saint Benedict (525 AD), consists of only one meal a day.
5. The absolute fast or Esther fast, abstains from food and water (Esth. 4:16). Exercise caution! GET READY FOR AN AMAZING WEEK IN PERFECT HEART MAY
