WHAT FASTING OFFERS (2): THE HIGHEST INTENSIVE PRAYER
O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee: my soul thirsteth for thee, my flesh longeth for thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is;Psalms 63:1 (KJV)
Fasting is the expression of the longing of the flesh after Adonai. Fasting is the flesh saying that there is something more important to me now than taking care of me. It is in that longing state that the soul can express the highest intensity of prayer possible. The earnestness that makes prayer produce tremendous power that is dynamic in its working is only possible in a fast. Fasting offers you the opportunity to produce the highest intensity of prayer that can ever be possible from the human soul. The flesh in a fast has been completely dethroned and the soul is at its purest state and can easily connect to the frequency of Adonai. This accounts why in a long fast, once you cross 14 days to 21 days, it just seems your eyes pops open and you begin to see into the realm of the spirit easily. At that point, your prayer even without eloquence or vigour in expressing it, carries such power that blows the mind of the world around you. Most people think that what makes prayer powerful is the expression when you are praying. Others thing that your demonstrations will avail in the realm of the spirit, so they go ahead to shout, haul, kick, box and do all manner of gymnastics. But the intensity of prayer is not in any of those things. When you are around 21 days and above in your total fast, without even energy, if you have opportunity to see a demoniac, just a “go” under your breathe sends the legion quaking out.

WHAT FASTING OFFERS (1): MORTIFICATION OF THE FLESH
For if ye live after the flesh, ye shall die: but if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live.Romans 8:13 (KJV)
We have said over and over again that fasting does not change Adonai. You are not fasting to get Yahweh to change His mind because He is not a man with shifting shadows (James 1:17 NASB). Fasting is a tool to dethrone the flesh and until fasting has accomplished this task, you have not fasted. In Colossians 3:5, we see what must be put to death, “Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth? fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:” and they are not something that you can do once and for all. That accounts why consecrational fasts should be a regular routine for any serious minded believer that is expecting the rapture. But there is a long fast that breaks the holds of these members of your flesh and disables them that they become no more issues in your life. You must take opportunity of at least one 21 or 40 days total fast just to deal with any form of flesh manifestation in your life. Yours may not be fornication, but what of bitterness, pride, hatred, gossip, wrath, malice, lies, envy and jealousy (see Colossians 3:8-9). Even among ministers, you see a lot of envy and jealousy. You need a total fast to lay yourself down at the altar and let the Lord Holy Spirit expose you to you.

SERVING THE INTEREST OF YAHWEH’S KINGDOM IS THE REASON YOU ARE HERE
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness? and all these things shall be added unto you.
Matthew 6:33 [KJV]
You saved to serve. The reason Yahushua did not call you home to be with Him at your salvation is because, He needs you here to serve the interest of His Kingdom. The Kingdom of Yahushua on earth now is the souls that have subscribed to the Lordship of Yahushua in their lives. The interest of Yahweh’s kingdom on earth is all about the salvation and establishment of souls. This is your sole responsibility as a believer now. This is the very reason why you are alive today. So many people think that they are alive to worship and praise Yahweh. That is true but you don’t need to be alive to worship and praise Yahweh. When you go to be with the Lord Yahushua, all you do 24/7 is worshipping the beauty of Holiness. If worship and praise is the reason you are alive now, then you don’t need to be on earth to truly praise the Lord. The very reason you are alive now is to be an instrument to bring someone to salvation. Remember, the only reason the Lord Yahushua came to earth is the salvation of the soul of man. There is no other reason. Humanity was lost in sin and needed a saviour; one who can satisfy the demand of Yahweh’s justice. When He was born, the angel announced His purpose. In Matthew 1:18 the Word says, “And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.” He came to save souls.

WHAT IS THE HOLY SPIRIT SAYING THIS JANUARY 2023?
And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about.
Luke 4:14 [KJV]
Happy New Year to you beloved! It is with a great joy that I welcome you to this year of the Dependable Yahweh. We do not take for granted His great goodness and mercies which He has manifested in our lives from January 2022 to today 1st January 2023. If we are to pay for only oxygen for 365 days, the wealth of a whole nation would deplete for the bill of just one person. Pastor David Oyedepo Jnr told of an experience where he went to pray for someone in the hospital in UK. He watched as a tube carried the blood of the person from his body to a machine and back to his body and when he asked what the problem was, he was told that this person’s system cannot oxygenated his blood so they needed the machine to take his blood and oxygenate it and give it right back to him and that process costs £9,000 per week. That means if he is to continue in that process for a year, it would cost £468,000 for 52 weeks. That is just for oxygenating blood. How much would it cost to keep the heart beating, the liver functioning, the lungs, the nerves, and every vital organ functioning. Man is too expensive for man to maintain. It is only our creator that can maintain man. This is why if every breath is praise, it would still not be enough to truly appreciate Yahweh. So go ahead and praise Him some more and more.

WHAT IS IN DIVINE DIRECTION FOR YOU (2): OPPOSITIONS ARE TAKEN OUT
Seeing it is a righteous thing with God to recompense tribulation to them that trouble you;
II Thessalonians 1:6 (KJV)
When you follow divine direction, oppositions to your Yahweh-ordained inheritance are taken care of by Yahweh. Yahweh takes your enemies down for your sake. It is a righteous thing with Yahweh to smite all that rise up against you (see II Thessalonians 1:6). Even Yahushua had to surrender himself otherwise no hands could be laid on Him. Those that came to arrest the Lord Yahushua had to fall before him. They couldn’t stand his presence. No man could harm Yahushua until He surrendered himself for the cross. John 18:4-6 showed us that, ‘4 Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said unto them, Whom seek ye? 5 They answered him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith unto them, I am he. And Judas also, which betrayed him, stood with them. 6 As soon then as he had said unto them, I am he, they went backward, and fell to the ground.’ You are indomitable walking in the will of Yahweh; following divine direction for your life. I Peter 3:13 says, ‘And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good?’ You are unconquerable following divine direction because all the powers of heaven are at your disposal to handle any satanic uprisings. You don’t struggle to reign and rule following divine direction.

QUALIFICATION TO BE LED (6): PRAISE LIFESTYLE
Ye shall have a song, as in the night when a holy solemnity is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one goeth with a pipe to come into the mountain of the Lord, to the mighty One of Israel.
Isaiah 30:29 (KJV)
It is a spiritual reality that having a song facilitates hearing from Yahweh. At a point, the prophet Elisha needed to know what Yahweh was saying to the kings that came to inquire of the Lord about the journey they were undertaking. In II Kings 3:15 Prophet Elisha requested that a minstrel be brought to him and as the minstrel played the hand of the Lord came upon the Prophet and he prophesied. Praise is Yahweh’s habitat. When praise is available the presence of Yahweh is invoked and when Adonai is available, then His voice can be heard. Anyone that desires to get divine direction must strive to provide the atmosphere for the presence of Yahweh. You must run away from any form of gloom, anger, boredom, depression and weariness. These are enemies of Yahweh’s presence. Do you know that in the ancient times, you dare not appear before a king with a sad face. That is automatic death sentence. It is considered as treason. How are kings welcomed? By singing and dancing and rejoicing. Earthly kings learnt those protocols from Yahweh. You cannot have access to the presence of Yahweh with a gloomy heart and face. You want direction from Yahweh? Then you need to enter His presence first.

KNOW YAHWEH’S LEADING (4): BY PROPHECY
And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
Ephesians 4:11 (KJV)
There is a spiritual gift of prophecy (see I Corinthians 12:10) and there is the office of the prophet or the ministry gift of the prophet. The spiritual gift of Prophecy is simply speaking to exhort the brethren. It does not involve foretelling. I Corinthians 14:3 says, ‘But he that prophesieth speaketh unto men to edification, and exhortation, and comfort.’ Anyone that is filled with the Holy Spirit with the evidence of speaking in tongues can be used to prophesy. Apostle Paul encouraged believers to desire the gift of prophecy (see I Corinthians 14:1). Then we have the office or ministry of the prophet. For one to function in the office of the prophet, he would have to have the gift of discerning of Spirit, The gift of the Word of Knowledge, the gift of the Word of Wisdom and the gift of prophecy at work in his life. The ministry of the prophet involves foretelling. Prophecy in whatever form is not the primary way Yahweh leads in the New Testament. Prophecy is only to confirm what the Lord has already told you by the inward witness. The Lord didn’t place prophets in the New Testament to lead believers.

TO ACCESS HOLY SPIRIT’S VOICE (2): BE JOYFUL
Ye shall have a song, as in the night when a holy solemnity is kept; and gladness of heart, as when one goeth with a pipe to come into the mountain of the Lord, to the mighty One of Israel.
Isaiah 30:29 (KJV)
There is a spiritual climate that you must come into or maintain to be able to access the glorious voice of the Holy Spirit. Like we said yesterday, the Holy Spirit speaks and is willing to speak to you. The challenge is that you are not in His frequency to hear His glorious voice. That majestic voice demands that you function in joy. The foundation of an acceptable song before the Lord is joy; gladness of heart. The state of your heart is crucial to your spiritual frequency. Your spirit must function in the frequency of joy and gladness of heart. This joy comes from a vital relationship with the Lord. When you have joy, it is easy for songs to flow. The voice of His Majesty demand that there is a climate of praise. Isaiah 30:30 says “And the Lord shall cause his glorious voice to be heard, …” You see when the conditions are met, the Lord does not withhold His voice. The challenge is that we are not diligent to get the conditions right. When will He cause His glorious voice to be heard? Only when you come to Him with a song and with gladness of heart! If there’s no gladness of heart, you become deaf to the voice of Yahweh. But when there’s gladness in your heart and a song in your mouth, then the Lord causes His glorious voice of direction to be heard. Let nothing take your joy from you. Hold fast unto it. Somebody once said, “Happiness is not found, it is created.” If you’re not a happy son of Yahweh, you will never be a winning son (see Deuteronomy 28:47-48).

KNOW YAHWEH’S LEADING (3): BY THE VOICE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT
While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold, three men seek thee.
Acts 10:19 (KJV)
The Holy Spirit speaks. The voice of the Holy Spirit is more authoritative than the voice of our own spirit. The Voice of the Holy Spirit is often heard when there is rough sailing ahead. That voice comes to steady you in the path of destiny, so that you are not shaken with the waves. In our opening text, Apostle Peter saw a vision of a vessel coming down from heaven and dropped right before him. In this vessel were all kinds of four-footed beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping things, and fowls of the air. Then a voice came to him “Rise Peter, kill and eat” (see Acts 10:13). Apostle Peter retorted by saying “Not so, Lord; for I have never eaten any thing that is common or unclean.” (Acts 10:14). Then the voice told him “What God has cleansed, that call not thou common.”(vs 15). This whole drama was done thrice and the vessel was taken up to heaven. While Peter thought on this vision, the Holy Spirit spoke to Him the words we read in our opening text. That authoritative voice of the Holy Spirit gave Peter the required impetus to venture into that strange waters of ministry. That authoritative voice of the Holy Spirit was already going to give him the boldness to answer his critics who believe that the gentiles are not supposed to hear the gospel.
