7/30/2013 0 Comments PLUG INTO GOD'S POWER![]() We are currently in our 10 Day Daniel Fast in preparation for our "Night of Prayer" scheduled in August. This fast is simply a way of putting the people of God in The Sanctuary in touch with the life-changing power of God for their lives. We have two nights of All Night Prayer scheduled (see Night of Prayer for more details), and we need the power of God in it. And, you don't program the power of God into something, you pray the power of God into it. Fasting gives you more time for prayer. You can use the time you'd normally spend eating as time in prayer for what God wants to do among us during this time. In the Bible, fasting is always connected with prayer. "While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, 'Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.' So after they had fasted and prayed, they placed their hands on them and sent them off." Acts 13:2-3 (NIV) Fasting demonstrates the depth of your desire when praying for something. It shows you that you are serious enough about your prayer request to pay a personal price. God honors deep desire and praying in faith. "Even now," declares the Lord, "return to Me with all your heart, with fasting and weeping and mourning." Joel 2:12 (NASB) Fasting releases God's supernatural power. It is a tool we can use when there is opposition to God's will. Satan would like nothing better than to cause division, discouragement, defeat, depression, and doubt among us. United prayer and fasting has always been used by God to deal a decisive blow to the enemy! "God says, "Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break every yoke?" Isaiah 58:6 (NIV) Prayer is the tool that God has given us to use on all the disrepair in our lives, in our church body, in our communities, in our country. I would urge you to use the experience of fasting to restore your focus and revive the power of prayer in your life. Feast on God during this important time. Intercessory PrayerO Lord God, Creator of all creation and my Creator! Today I give You thanks for having arranged the world so wonderfully. Thank You for having given us this earth that bears us all kinds of fruit! Thank You for the food prepared from the fruits of the earth! Father, I rejoice in Your creatures, I rejoice in all the fruits today, and I thank You! Thank You for our daily food and drink.

IntercessionPrayer is the expression of man’s dependence upon God and his confidence in Him. When God answers prayer, He magnifies His faithfulness. Prayer is releasing the energies of God and asking God to do what we cannot do. Prayer is the breathing and panting of the Spirit after God. Prayer is a soul struggle. It is the hardest work God has given His children, but it is their most important work. If you have a Archives
