    WHAT FASTING OFFERS (11): TURNAROUND ENCOUNTERS

    And as he prayed, the fashion of his countenance was altered, and his raiment was white and glistering.
    Luke 9:29 (KJV)

    The altar of fasting and prayer is the place of turnaround encounters. Turnaround encounters are encounters that make you count in your generation. They are landmark encounters that becomes beacons of reference in your life and destiny. The scriptures did not disclose whether the Lord Yahushua was taking a fast in addition to prayer in our text. However, it is obvious that such manifestation is typical of a fasting praying. It is fasting that brings intensity to prayer. It is fasting that brings depth of concentration to prayer. As the Lord prayed the fashion of His countenance was altered. That is what we call turnaround encounters. Fasting is not a religious activity, it is an altar for turnarounds that leaves a landmark in your life and destiny. You must expect to experience a turnaround encounter at this altar of fasting and prayer. Remember that in Luke 4:14 “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.” At the altar of fasting, the Lord Yahushua encountered power that changed the course of His ministry forever. Fasting is for empowerment. You must desire that “Lord, out of this depletion of my body and strength at the altar of fasting, there must arise an empowerment that will change everything in my life.” This must be your desire as you fast.

    See, Daniel’s life was transformed at the altar of fasting. Daniel 9:3 says, “And I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes:” As Daniel was in fasting and prayer, suddenly the heavens opened and one of the encounters that altered history happened. Daniel 9:21 says, “Yea, whiles I was speaking in prayer, even the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, touched me about the time of the evening oblation.” This is what I call turnaround encounter. Beloved, we serve the God our Yahweh that is same yesterday, today and forever. There is a turnaround encounter for you at the altar of fasting. Don’t just fast, desire a visitation that will become a reference point for generations like this one Daniel had. If you know anything about eschatology, you would understand that this particular encounter of Daniel became the pillar of reference in eschatology. Oh, how far we are missing by just continuing without fasting or just fasting for religious sake.

    See the encounter of Apostle Peter in Acts 10. In the beginning of the Church the Jewish believers never thought that the command of the Master in Mark 16:15 to go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature included the gentiles. In their mind, it is just salvation to the Jews. It is on the altar of fasting that the stronghold was broken. As Apostle Peter was fasting, he fall into a trance and an encounter opened up the gospel to the gentiles. Acts 10:10 says, “And he became very hungry, and would have eaten: but while they made ready, he fell into a trance,” So, Peter was fasting and we saw that turnaround encounter that brought about Peter ever going to the house of a gentile to preach the gospel to them. It is your turn beloved to experience a turnaround encounter! Shalom!

    REMEMBER: Fasting is the platform for turnaround encounters.

    PRAYER: Holy Father, I thank You for Your word to me today. I desire a turnaround encounter in this fast Lord in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: I decree that encounter that will become a reference for generations happen for you now as you fast in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • WHAT FASTING OFFERS (10): SPEEDY ANSWERS TO PRAYERS

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Sunday January 15, 2023

    WHAT FASTING OFFERS (10): SPEEDY ANSWERS TO PRAYERS

    Then shalt thou call, and the Lord shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am.Isaiah 58:9 (KJV)

    Fasting brings earnestness to your prayers. We saw at the beginning of this month that what produces dynamic power is not just prayer because everybody is praying but not everybody is experiencing tremendous power that is dynamic in its workings. It is earnest prayer that makes tremendous power available. Webster’s Dictionary defines earnest as ‘characterized by or proceeding from an intense and serious state of mind’. Artha Open Thesaurus defines earnest as ‘not distracted by anything unrelated to the goal’. Amplified Bible define earnest as’ heart-felt and continued’. And this earnestness is not a function of physical exertion and plenty of words as our Lord Yahushua has already said that you shall not be heard because of your much speech (see Matthew 6:7). Hollering and demonstrations is nothing when seeking to make your prayer earnest. This earnestness is a spiritual force that must be added to your prayer to make it produce dynamism and results. Vain repetitions cannot help in this school of prayer at all. Finesse of speech is utterly useless.

    Now take the example of Hannah at Shiloh. She was pouring out her heart to the Lord but no words could be deciphered from what was coming out of her mouth. I Samuel 1:10 has this to say of Hannah, “And she was in bitterness of soul, and prayed unto the Lord, and wept sore.” Somebody in that disposition couldn’t have followed others to partake of their delicacy of the occasion. She was obviously fasting because I Samuel 1:18 said that after she had encountered her change, “And she said, Let thine handmaid find grace in thy sight. So the woman went her way, and did eat, and her countenance was no more sad.” It was after she received her answer that she broke her fast. Obviously it was fasting that produced the earnestness required to deliver answers to her prayer. This is how this thing works beloved.

    Every matter continues in its state of rest until a relevant force moves it. Fasting is a spiritual force that gives your prayer the wings to fly to the throne room with power and comes back to you with answers. We have often heard that a prayerful believer is a powerful believer, that is surely not the whole truth. There is a level of power which you require to enforce your expectation that you cannot access in the place of prayer without fasting. Until you enter into the closet of fasting, you will be a spectator in that realm. Until you go into the power generating room of fasting, you will only wish and wish and end up in frustration. You have an opportunity now to effect that change you desire as you relate with the Lord in fasting. Do it!

    REMEMBER: Fasting produces the earnestness required to empowers your prayer.

    PRAYER: Beloved Father, I thank You for Your word to me today. I receive the grace to undertake that fast that will break the chains and set me on that pedestal of perpetual victory always in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: Every weakness of mind to discipline your body in fasting is arrested today in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • WHAT FASTING OFFERS (9): YAHWEH’S GLORY BECOMES YOUR PROTECTION

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Saturday January 14, 2023

    WHAT FASTING OFFERS (9): YAHWEH’S GLORY BECOMES YOUR PROTECTION

    … the glory of the Lord shall be thy rereward.Isaiah 58:8 (KJV)

    Everybody that has been with Adonai on the mountain always returns with His glory on their lives. Glory is the aura of divinity manifest in our humanity. Glory is the presence of Yahweh radiating in our lives. Glory is the glow of the Spirit of Yahweh on the soul of a person that impacts on both his countenance and disposition. The Hebrew word for glory is ‘Kabowd’ which means weight, splendour or glorious. That means that you develop weight when you stay in Yahweh’s presence that no satanic activity can dare to move you. Your countenance is resplendent as a result of dwelling in Yahweh’s presence in fasting. This was Moses’ experience whose physical face was shining from the glory of Yahweh’s presence. People couldn’t look at his face. Just as the natural eyes cannot look into the face of the sun, the glory of Yahweh was on Moses that much that people couldn’t behold his face. This can be your experience too. Whether your physical face shine as was the case with Moses or not, there is a spiritual glory presence that comes upon you as you fast. There is a weight you gain spiritually speaking in a fast that separates you far from oppression.

    When you acquire that glory, the defence of the Lord is activated in your life. Let me show you how this works. That glory is a treasure of heaven on earth. That glory is what confirms you as an ambassador of the Kingdom of HaMashiach on earth and that activates protection and preservation for you. It is practically impossible for you to be wasted by Satan or wicked and unreasonable men. You become a terror to evil and your presence have demons screaming out. All because there is a glory deposit on you from the presence of Yahweh as you fellowship with Him in a fast. Heaven literally releases escorts with you. The worth of this glory is worth everything for you to desire for it to drop on you. This glory solves security challenges of our day for you and everyone connected to you. Watch men and women that are living in consecrational fasting as a lifestyle, you see that they are the touch-not and that extends to anyone that connects to their grace.

    Do you want to be a terror to the gates of hell just at your presence, then beloved go for the glory of Yahweh’s presence. Are you desirous to see the preservation of Yahweh not just on you but on everyone that connects to your grace, then do everything to receive the glory of Yahweh’s presence as your present-hour reality. This is the real deal in these days of evil that we live in. Move into the zone of the touch-not as you cultivate the lifestyle of consecrational fast.

    REMEMBER: Yahweh’s glory is released on you as you fast.

    CONFESSION: I am the glory of Yahweh. When I arrive that glory is seen and felt. The presence of Yahweh is my present-hour reality and through me the effects of that glory is manifestation for all to see. Thank You LORD!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: I see that glory released upon you as you tarry in His presence in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • WHAT FASTING OFFERS (8): ESTABLISHMENT IN RIGHTEOUSNESS

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Friday January 13, 2023

    WHAT FASTING OFFERS (8): ESTABLISHMENT IN RIGHTEOUSNESS

    … and thy righteousness shall go before thee; …
    Isaiah 58:8 (KJV)

    Amplified puts it this way: your righteousness (your rightness, your justice, and your right relationship with God) shall go before you [conducting you to peace and prosperity]. Fasting establishes you in righteousness because you cannot approach Yahweh in sin. And righteousness is not just who we are but what we do. I John 3:7 says, ‘Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.’ Fasting helps you establish the culture of doing righteousness. When one does not live a life of consecrational fasting, his/her life will be filled with uncleanness and filth of all manner. Though he/she may have genuinely at one time confessed the lordship of HaMashiach over his/her life but because he/she has refused to work out his/her salvation with fear and trembling (see Philippians 2:12), he/she cannot exercise dominion over sin and unrighteousness. Yahushua saw this when He said in Matthew 6:16 “Moreover when ye fast”. Fasting offers you establishment in righteousness.

    When you are established in righteousness, it provokes a lot of chain reactions in your life. Isaiah 54:14 says, ‘In righteousness shalt thou be established: thou shalt be far from oppression; for thou shalt not fear: and from terror; for it shall not come near thee.’ Being established in righteousness removes you far from oppression. Whether it is oppression by Satan and the gates of hell or by wicked and unreasonable men, you are removed far from oppression. Being established in righteousness disables fear in your spirit. You begin to live as though the devil doesn’t exist any more. The strength of the devil is a lifestyle of sin and unrighteousness. Fear brings bondage. Fear magnets death (see Hebrews 2:15). But as you are established in righteousness you are far removed from terror. Terror is barred from your life. Instead, you become the terroriser.

    Being established in righteousness brings you to the peace that surpasses all understanding. Your life is established in the rest of Yahweh. Then you enjoy supernatural prosperity. The power to make wealth is released upon you. All these are what a life of righteousness affords you and it takes a life of consistent consecrational fasting to come to that point where you are established in righteousness. That is why it is almost impossible to make a mark in the sands of time without a lifestyle of consistent consecrational fasting adventure. As you observe this kind of fasting lifestyle, your flesh is constantly mortified empowering your spirit-man to be in full control. You shall not fail!

    REMEMBER: Fasting establishes you in righteousness.

    PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for Your Word to me today. I ask for the grace to be on key with the revelations You are giving me on fasting in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: You shall not be a hearer only but a doer of the work in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • WHAT FASTING OFFERS (7): SPEEDY REVERBERATION OF HEALING/HEALTH

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Thursday January 12, 2023

    WHAT FASTING OFFERS (7): SPEEDY REVERBERATION OF HEALING/HEALTH

    … and thine health shall spring forth speedily: …Isaiah 58.8 (KJV)

    When we say that fasting springs forth speedily your healing and health, we are just stating the obvious both from scriptures and from raw testimonies. There is no sickness that cannot be terminated by fasting. Even medical doctors, have discovered that majority of ailments is a function of what people eat, so when you eliminate such diets, the body naturally recovers. Cancers have been seen to dry up and die in long fasts and afterwards the person tests showed that he/she was cancer free. Your health springing forth speedily is both supernaturally and naturally. The body has been enabled by the creator to heal itself in some cases that the challenge is not organic. Just going on a 21 days to 40 days total fast can take care of your frequent health challenges, and afterwards, resume eating healthy ensures that you sustain the gains of your fast. And all this is just naturally, the body repairs itself. Please refer to the scientifically certified repair workings of fasting as we have already seen.

    Your health springing forth is also supernaturally. Whatever the challenge with your body and health is can be sorted out by the power of Adonai as you fast. In this realm, all organic malfunctions can be healed by the power of Adonai as you fast. The Lord Yahushua says that “this kind” does not go except by prayer and fasting (see Mark 9:29). “This kind” covers all types and even ones that cannot be diagnosed in the laboratory because they have their roots in Satan. As you fast, the roots of that affliction comes under the judgment of Yahweh and you walk free. Bondages are broken; yokes are destroyed and whatever that is troubling you comes under the vengeance of the Lord as you fast. In His book “Fasting” Jentezen Franklin shared testimonies of his Church members along this line. They fast for 21 days to start the year. “Eve had people testify that only three days into a fast for a loved one suffering with cancer, the cancer was completely cured! Another lady’s son was dying from a 107-degree fever associated with his leukemia. The very first day of the fast, the boy’s fever broke, and he didn’t suffer a trace of brain damage! One year, only three days into the fast, Melissa testified that her father had been battling prostate cancer and that she had begun the fast on his behalf. When he went to the doctors for a procedure, to their shock, the doctors found no signs of the cancer anywhere! God healed him.”

    You can stand for your loved ones and demand that they are released from terminal affliction in fasting and the Lord will honour you as you will see their healing springing forth speedily.

    REMEMBER: Fasting facilitates your health springing forth speedily.

    CONFESSION: The Spirit of Him that raised HaMashiach from the dead lives in me and that Spirit revitalises my body. As I fast my youth is renewed like the eagles and my health springs forth speedily. Glory be Yahweh!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: I decree that the root of that infirmity in your body is destroyed and eliminated from your body today in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • WHAT FASTING OFFERS (6): ERUPTION OF SPIRITUAL UNDERSTANDING

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Wednesday January 11, 2023

    WHAT FASTING OFFERS (6): ERUPTION OF SPIRITUAL UNDERSTANDING

    Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, …
    Isaiah 58:8 (KJV)

    We are living in the days of prophetic gross darkness (see Isaiah 60:1-2). Darkness connotes the devil and all his manifestations. Darkness is a state of visionlessness, purposelessness, and hopelessness. Darkness is a state where you do not know what to do, where to go and what to expect. Darkness is a state of confusion, contradiction, conflict and depression. Light here implies illumination, insight, understanding and enlightenment. Light here means the opening of the Word of God for you to the point of understanding and seeing really what God is showing you from the pages of scripture. To be lighted is to be lifted. To be illuminated is to be elevated. The glory of your life is at the mercy of light because until you are illuminated, you will end up eliminated. Your change of story is at the instance of light. Until you can see it, you cannot seize it. Your inheritance in HaMashiach (Christ) is available and ready for the taking, but it would take you to see it to seize it. So anything that you would do to see the hidden treasures behind the written Word, it is wisdom to go for it.

    There is one thing the Bible guarantees will make your light to break forth as the morning. It is fasting. Fasting facilitates the springing forth of your light which in turn causes you to take a flight to the top. Your place is at the top if you are interested. When you fast, the limitations of the flesh are overcome and your spirit is freed to explore in revelations of the Lord. The scales over your eyes suddenly fall off and you can now see clearly what the Spirit is saying to you to do. And when you can see the Word of God, it imparts faith. When faith comes, anything is absolutely possible to you. You begin to walk in the stances of Adonai because you are operating in the faith of Yahweh by the illumination of scriptures. That impacts authority and dominion over the elements of the earth. This is your turn. You shall no more walk in darkness. Confusion is over in your life from today!

    Influence and impact for the gospel is only possible when your light comes. But light is not cheap, it comes in the labour room of fasting. It is those pregnant with fasting that gives birth to spiritual understanding which we call light. See the expression “Then shall thy light break forth as the morning”, that connotes that it was hedged in until there is a force that catapults it out forcefully as it were. Fasting is that force that secures and breaks forth your light. Being lighted is your inheritance in HaMashiach but it takes fasting to see the realization. As you fast and pray, the prayer of Apostle Paul in Ephesians 1:17-18 is fulfilled in your life. That shall be your testimony!

    REMEMBER: Fasting secures the breaking forth of spiritual understanding.

    CONFESSION: My eyes of understanding are enlightened to know what is the hope of my calling and what is the riches of my inheritance in the saints and what is the exceeding greatness of His power that is at work in me mightily. Halleluyah!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: I decree the breaking forth of your light now in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • WHAT FASTING OFFERS (5): BEST WAY TO PREPARE FOR THE RAPTURE

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Tuesday January 10, 2023

    WHAT FASTING OFFERS (5): BEST WAY TO PREPARE FOR THE RAPTURE

    So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many? and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.Hebrews 9:28 (KJV)

    “And unto them that look for him” is the requirement for the rapture. Unto them that yearn for him shall he appear the second time unto salutation. Beloved, are you longing for the return of the Lord Yahushua? The thought of the return of the Lord Yahushua is not a pleasant one for many. Young ladies on the line for marriage would say “let Him wait till I marry!” Same with young men on the line for marriage. So many believers want the Lord to delay His coming so they can achieve one thing or the other. They are not even desiring His coming let alone looking for it. The truth is that when you are living with a lot of worldliness, you would not desire His soon return. You are in love with the things of the world and for you His return is a distraction. Many believers would run away from pulpits that constantly remind them of the eminent return of the Lord. The ears of so many believers have started itching at the sound of Maranatha! (our Lord come!). Why? Because fasting has become a thing for pastors and ministers for so many believers. No wonder, worldliness has eaten into the very fabrics of our souls. This world now holds so much attraction and lure for many that there is no longer any difference between them and the world. In fact, they are now imitating the world.

    Beloved, fasting is the only way to keep eternity in view on a consistent basis. Fasting offers you the opportunity to see the world as it truly is – reserved for fire (see II Peter 3:10). This world is already marked for demolition. All the houses and things that are occupying your fleeting time is already marked for demolition by fire. So many believers don’t even know this. The way they pursue this combustible materials to the point of cheating, lying and even killing is deplorable. I bet you that is reading this have not even come to this realization. If you have, then it would affect your reaction both to the things of the world and to sinners around you. II Peter 3:11 says, ‘Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness’ That is to say that if you come to the realization of the true state of this earth, it would compel an action from you; it would compel you to live holy and godly.

    Beloved, the rapture is the next big event the world is waiting for. Immediately the rapture happens, everyone on earth will be compelled to receive the vaccination or whatever they will call it which is a mark of identification to enable you to return to your normal life, otherwise you would not be able to buy or sell or even work. The best way to ensure that worldliness does not have a hold on you is a life of consecrational fasting.

    REMEMBER: It takes consecrational fasting to maintain your focus on the return of the Lord.

    PRAYER: Heavenly Father, thank You for Your Word to me today. Please renew my zeal for your soon return as I fast in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: The hold of worldliness over your heart is broken now in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • WHAT FASTING OFFERS (3): PHYSIOLOGICAL CLEANSING OF THE BODY (B)

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Sunday January 8, 2023

    WHAT FASTING OFFERS (3): PHYSIOLOGICAL CLEANSING OF THE BODY (B)

    Now all discipline seems painful at the time, not joyful. But later it produces the fruit of peace and righteousness for those trained by it.Hebrews 12:11 (NASB)

    Fasting is a physiological process and would rid the body of most diseases. We are going to see some scientifically backed process that happens in our body when we fast. They include as we continue from yesterday:

    1. Increases Growth Hormone Secretion, Which Is Vital for Growth, Metabolism, Weight Loss and Muscle Strength: Human growth hormone (HGH) is a type of protein hormone that is central to many aspects of your health. In fact, research shows that this key hormone is involved in growth, metabolism, weight loss and muscle strength (10, 11, 12, 13). Several studies have found that fasting could naturally increase HGH levels. One study in 11 healthy adults showed that fasting for 24 hours significantly increased levels of HGH.14 Another small study in nine men found that fasting for just two days led to a 5-fold increase in the HGH production rate.15 Plus, fasting may help maintain steady blood sugar and insulin levels throughout the day, which may further optimize levels of HGH, as some research has found that sustaining increased levels of insulin may reduce HGH levels.16
    2. Could Delay Aging and Extend Longevity: Several animal studies have found promising results on the potential lifespan-extending effects of fasting. In one study, rats that fasted every other day experienced a delayed rate of aging and lived 83% longer than rats that didn’t fast.17 Other animal studies have had similar findings, reporting that fasting could be effective in increasing longevity and survival rates (18, 19, 20).
    3. May Aid in Cancer Prevention and Increase the Effectiveness of Chemotherapy: Animal and test-tube studies indicate that fasting may benefit the treatment and prevention of cancer. In fact, one rat study found that alternate-day fasting helped block tumor formation.21 Similarly, a test-tube study showed that exposing cancer cells to several cycles of fasting was as effective as chemotherapy in delaying tumor growth and increased the effectiveness of chemotherapy drugs on cancer formation.22

    If you however, have a serious organic ailment, fast under the watch of your medical doctor. The author has read of cancer testimonies after long fast. Apply wisdom and be sensitive both to your health and the Holy Spirit.

    REMEMBER: There are unquantifiable health benefits from fasting.

    PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You for your word to me today. I receive grace not to be a hearer only but to be a doer of the work that fasting requires in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: I decree that your youth is being renewed as you fast in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • WHAT FASTING OFFERS (3): PHYSIOLOGICAL CLEANSING OF THE BODY (A)

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Saturday January 7, 2023

    WHAT FASTING OFFERS (3): PHYSIOLOGICAL CLEANSING OF THE BODY (A)

    Now all discipline seems painful at the time, not joyful. But later it produces the fruit of peace and righteousness for those trained by it.Hebrews 12:11 (NASB)

    Fasting is a physiological process and would rid the body of most diseases. We are going to see some scientifically backed process that happen in our body when we fast. They include:

    1. Promotes Blood Sugar Control by Reducing Insulin Resistance: Several studies have found that fasting may improve blood sugar control, which could be especially useful for those at risk of diabetes.1 Decreasing insulin resistance can increase your body’s sensitivity to insulin, allowing it to transport glucose from your bloodstream to your cells more efficiently.2
    2. Promotes Better Health by Fighting Inflammation: While acute inflammation is a normal immune process used to help fight off infections, chronic inflammation can have serious consequences for your health. Research shows that inflammation may be involved in the development of chronic conditions, such as heart disease, cancer and rheumatoid arthritis.3 Some studies have found that fasting can help decrease levels of inflammation and help promote better health.4 Fasting could decrease several markers of inflammation and may be useful in treating inflammatory conditions, such as multiple sclerosis.
    3. May Enhance Heart Health by Improving Blood Pressure, Triglycerides and Cholesterol Levels: Heart disease is considered the leading cause of death around the world, accounting for an estimated 31.5% of deaths globally.5 Switching up your diet and lifestyle is one of the most effective ways to reduce your risk of heart disease. Some research has found that incorporating fasting into your routine may be especially beneficial when it comes to heart health. Fasting has been associated with a lower risk of coronary heart disease and may help lower blood pressure, triglycerides and cholesterol levels.
    4. May Boost Brain Function and Prevent Neurodegenerative Disorders: Though research is mostly limited to animal research, several studies have found that fasting could have a powerful effect on brain health. Animal studies show that fasting could improve brain function, increase nerve cell synthesis and protect against neurodegenerative conditions, such as Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s.6,7 Well, the case of Daniel in Daniel 1:20 shows that fasting indeed do affect brain function.
    5. Aids Weight Loss by Limiting Calorie Intake and Boosting Metabolism: Some research has also found that short-term fasting may boost metabolism by increasing levels of the neurotransmitter norepinephrine, which could enhance weight loss.8 In fact, one review showed that whole-day fasting could reduce body weight by up to 9% and significantly decrease body fat over 12–24 weeks.9 Fasting may increase metabolism and help preserve muscle tissue to reduce body weight and body fat.

    Cont’d tomorrow!

    REMEMBER: There are unquantifiable health benefits from fasting.

    CONFESSION: Even though my spirit-man is flourishing as I wait on Adonai, my physical body is also undergoing renewal and cleansing. It is all gains. Glory to Yahweh!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: Every trace of sickness or disease dies in your body as you fast in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

  • WHAT FASTING OFFERS (2): THE HIGHEST INTENSIVE PRAYER

    #WordForTodayDevotional

    Friday January 6, 2023

    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.

    That was the difference between Yahushua and his disciples in Matthew 17 where they couldn’t cast that demon out and heal that boy. With all their gymnastic skills and shouts, still nothing happened. But when Yahushua came on the scene, without stress, the boy was delivered and healed. Not because He is the Son of Yahweh, no! He fasted 40 days and because of that his words was with power. You can operate in that realm too, if you can go through that discipline. It makes you to live free from the elements of this world and hell. Fasting confers on you the dominion of Yahweh because in a fast, you had stayed long in his presence that some of His authority has robbed off on you. This was the secret of “Jesus, I know, Paul, I know, but you who are you?” (see Acts 19:15). Demons knows the one that has got that authority, your shouting and gymnastics notwithstanding.

    Remember that our focus this month is I Am Empowered On the Altar of Fasting and Prayer To Serve The Dependable God. We are showing you today how fasting produces the highest intensive prayer that can be and that is exactly you are empowered as you fast. Take advantage of what fasting offers. Selah!

    REMEMBER: Fasting produces the highest intensity of prayer possible.

    CONFESSION: As the hart pants after the water brooks, so pants my soul after You, O Adonai. My soul thirsts for Adonai, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before Adonai? Thank You Yahweh for the privilege of fasting!

    PROPHETIC RELEASE: May fasting be the delight of your soul and flesh from today in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!
