50 BENEFITS OF FASTING AND PRAYER
Daniel 9:3-4 (KJV) I resorted to the Lord God and pleaded with him in prayer and supplication, as well as through fasting and wearing sackcloth and ashes,” says the author. 4 “Lord, the great and amazing God, who upholds his covenant of love with those who love him and obey his laws,” I exclaimed as I prayed to the LORD my God.
What Are Prayer And Fasting?
Fasting and prayer are both actions that involve depriving oneself of food, drink, and other pleasures of the body. In addition to denying oneself food, the primary goal of prayer and fasting is to dedicate ourselves to God’s service. Prayer and fasting were created to be used as a spiritual instrument in the battle against and the destruction of evil strongholds. A focus has been placed on the power and necessity of fasting and prayer as shown by the following occurrences from the Bible:
Based on the biblical passages provided above, it may be concluded that prayer and fasting are spiritual weapons that can be used to build, empower, battle, and tear down. A Christian’s life would be incomplete without fasting and prayer, and the value and power of these practises cannot be overstated.
How To Fast And Pray:
1. Privileges such as food, drink, and general pleasures should be avoided: One of the most significant components of prayer and fasting is to deny the flesh of its wants, so elevating the spirit man.
Daniel 1:8 (NIV) He made up his mind that he would not contaminate himself with the king’s good meal or with the wine that he consumed, and so he obtained permission from the commander of the officials so that he would not defile himself.
2. Abstain from sin: Keeping ourselves away from sin is essential if we are to see God’s face at every turn of the clock in our lives. 1 Thessalonians 5:22 (New International Version) “Refrain from engaging in any sort of wickedness.”
3. Fast and pray with sincerity: Make certain that you are fasting and praying not to satisfy others, but rather to have an experience with the Almighty. Matthew 6:16-18 is a passage of scripture that teaches about forgiveness. “When you fast, do not seem sombre like the hypocrites do, since they disfigure their features in order to demonstrate to others that they are fasting.” They have, I swear to you, got their full and complete recompense. 17 In order to ensure that your fast is not visible to others, apply oil to your head and wash your face 18 so that only your Father, who is unseen, knows that you are fasting; and your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
4. Fasting and prayer help us to become more accessible to God’s presence so that we may more readily approach the presence of God with our prayers and pleas.
Matthew 6:6 “But when you pray, go into your closet and, when you have shut the door, pray to your Father who sees in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward thee publicly,’ says the Lord.
