Preparing Yourself for Fasting

If you read through the Bible, you will see how God has called on His people to humble themselves through prayer and fasting. Fasting is considered in the Bible and even by the church of today to be a spiritual weapon. Through fasting, we can be used by God to advance His kingdom, to change the destiny of nations, spark revival, and bring about breakthroughs to the lives of people.

Amazing things happen when we voluntarily humble ourselves, seek God’s will and agree with Him for His plans to be fulfilled. When we prepare for the fast, we show value for this act. We give importance to it.

Over the years, as a result of a time of prayer and fasting, I have witnessed people receive healing, salvation, promotion, direction, family restoration, provisions, and tremendous growth in the ministry. As you begin a fast, believe in your heart that it will result in miracles and answered prayers.

Preparation is an important part of the fasting. Wisdom tells us that you need to make sure you are physically and spiritually prepare to fast. You do not do it on a whim. You need ample time to prepare. Do not make fasting more difficult than it has to be. Fasting is easier if you prepare your body in advance. There are things you can do to ease your fast after it has started. As you prepare physically, you also prepare spiritually. You need to set goals before you start. You need to pray for grace to surpass the fast.
