As we close our 20/20 initiative, and I want to encourage you to keep pressing forward in fasting.  We are ending our fast corporately, but want to challenge you to keep going forward individually.  The more you press into the things of God, the more He will manifest within you.

Fasting creates a place where God can dwell.  Matthew 5:6 says, “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.”  The blessing of the Lord comes when you posture yourself to be filled by God and His blessings, not the blessings of man.  When a person doesn’t eat or drink, the obvious bi-product is hunger and thirst.   God, in this …

FASTING IS NECESSARY TO FULFILL WHAT’S IN YOUR FUTURE!  Fasting brings us spiritual wisdom from above.  When we fast, God can download wisdom, insight, and instruction that we will be able to hear because we have crucified our flesh.  Sometimes, the reason we can’t feel or hear God is that we are in the way.  Fasting puts God where He needs to be in …

Fasting doesn’t fix your problem or situation, fasting fixes you while you’re in the situation. Fasting gives you the faith to speak to whatever your situation is and demand that it lines up with the Word of God.  When we fast, it activates the measure of faith that God has distributed to every person He created.  Our faith increases when we enter …
