Obeying the word of the Most High Power (God) and His Son the Messiah (Jesus) is a necessity for believers of the entire Bible. Life can be as simple as we make it because if we keep the commandments as our Creator has said through His Prophets, He will turn our captivity. Instead of being cursed, we will be blessed in all the works of our hands if we (Israel) will love righteousness and live the way that God has commanded. It is wise to choose life over death and good over evil! The Creator considers disobedience unlawful and evil, by obeying our Father in keeping laws, statutes and commandments we can bring blessing over the lives of ourselves and our children. Many of us are attached to the land of our captivity, our oppressors and their idols. We are told in the Bible not to be of the world but to just be in it….there is a difference, we have gotten attached and have adapted to the evils of this world. Mentally removing ourselves from “Babylon” and it’s “Daughter” can save our souls. Being separate/set apart (Holy) is what we were told and taught to achieve in order to represent our Power. In accomplishing being set apart is how we will be delivered and live “forever” in Heaven, which will be on earth (as it is in Heaven). God and His Son is perfect and we are supposed to run this race seeking to be perfect also. There is nothing you do that is not known and there is nothing you can do for Him to not love you! The Father will eventually destroy Babylon (the new Egypt) and if you are attached to it you will be destroyed also. Your sins can be pardoned and you can be delivered if you receive the truth, repent and separate from iniquity and idols. Renew your mind, be sober, have faith, hate evil, love your Brothers, do good, believe, have hope and patience. Create and maintain a relationship with your Father through prayer and fasting, knowing in your heart that Christ is interceding on your behalf so that you can live your best life in peace. Outsmart your enemies by turning them over to the Most High and remember that every member of the body is important, we’re too close to the end…seek God and live.

AlleluYAH!

Prayer and Fasting

Support and Invest! Every donation is appreciated.


Prayer and fasting is defined as voluntarily going without food in order to focus on prayer and fellowship with God. Prayer and fasting often go hand in hand, but this is not always the case. You can pray without fasting, and fast without prayer. It is when these two activities are combined and dedicated to God’s glory that they reach their full effectiveness. Having a dedicated time of prayer and fasting is not a way of manipulating God into doing what you desire. Rather, it is simply forcing yourself to focus and rely on God for the strength, provision, and wisdom you need.

Prayer and Fasting – What the Bible Says:
The Old Testament law specifically required prayer and fasting for only one occasion, which was the Day of Atonement. This custom became known as “the day of fasting” (Jeremiah 36:6) or “the Fast” (Acts 27:9). Moses fasted during the 40 days and 40 nights he was on Mount Sinai receiving the law from God (Exodus 34:28). King Jehoshaphat called for a fast in all Israel when they were about to be attacked by the Moabites and Ammonites (2 Chronicles 20:3). In response to Jonah’s preaching, the men of Nineveh fasted and put on sackcloth (Jonah 3:5). Prayer and fasting was often done in times of distress or trouble. David fasted when he learned that Saul and Jonathan had been killed (2 Samuel 1:12). Nehemiah had a time of prayer and fasting upon learning that Jerusalem was still in ruins (Nehemiah 1:4). Darius, the king of Persia, fasted all night after he was forced to put Daniel in the den of lions (Daniel 6:18). 

Prayer and Fasting – What Does it Accomplish?:
Spending time in prayer and fasting is not automatically effective in accomplishing the desires of those who fast. Fasting or no fasting, God only promises to answer our prayers when we ask according to His will. 1 John 5:14-15 tells us, “This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us – whatever we ask – we know that we have what we asked of him.” In the prophet Isaiah’s time, the people grumbled that they had fasted, yet God did not answer in the way they wanted (Isaiah 58:3-4). Isaiah responded by proclaiming that the external show of fasting and prayer, without the proper heart attitude, was futile (Isaiah 58:5-9). 

How can you know if you are praying and fasting according to God’s will? Are you praying and fasting for things that honor and glorify God? Does the Bible clearly reveal that it is God’s will for you? If we are asking for something that is not honoring to God or not God’s will for our lives, God will not give what we ask for, whether we fast or not. How can we know God’s will? God promises to give us wisdom when we ask. James 1:5 tells us, “If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him.”
