The Power of Fasting and Prayer
There is so much we don't know in the Spirit. I don't think we'll ever know it all until we are in Heaven. But I believe there are things we can do to put ourselves in possition to receive more revelation, that is to have our eyes opened to more of what the Word says. Staying in the Word on a continual basis, prayer, being a doer of the Word, obedience... all of these will open the Spirit world to us. And FASTING is another way.
I first learned about fasting from Lestra Gross. I think she started talking about it at Music Sunday School and then again at Ladies Bible Study in 1999 (which was when I started attending). It was a foreign concept to me and the thought of going without food was something that took me back 20 years when I was so obsessed with being thin I would binge for a week on drugs or make myself throw up if I thought I'd eaten too much or I'd gotten too "heavy". Prasie the Lord, God delivered me from that (and many other things) and though I still feel I have some wrong thinking about my weight, I am no longer obsessed and controlled by it. (to be cont.)
