The Power Of Fasting

January 22, 2024

“So we fasted and earnestly prayed that our God would care for us, and He heard our prayer.” Ezra 8:23

What would happen this year if you decided to go after God like never before? One way to do this is to start the year quickly.

There are many different reasons to fast. Maybe you just got a negative test result from the doctor or are praying for safety, direction, or protection. Others fast because they are starting a new business or ministry and want God to bless them. Many people fast as an act of repentance to begin the year with a fresh start with God.

Remember these three things when you fast. First, make sure to take your eyes off the walls (your challenges and problems) and, instead, keep your eyes fixed on Jesus. As you focus on God’s Word and prayer, He will begin to change your perspective.

Second, take your eyes off your past. God doesn’t want you to stay the same as you were last year. He wants you to conquer new ground this year, but you can’t bring the same old stuff with you that was weighing you down. You have to leave it all behind.

Third, be mindful of your words. Quit complaining and talking negatively about your walls. Stop speaking defeat. Proverbs 141:3 says, “Set a guard over my mouth. Keep watch over the door of my lips.”

Go after God this year like never before. He has a wonderful plan for your future. As you combine fasting with prayer, the walls hindering your breakthrough will start to fall.
