Matthew 17:21 (NKJV) 21 However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.”
Sometimes we pray and pray and see no change. We need to remember, some things may need fasting as well.
Early one morning we received a phone call. We were asked to go to a hospital and pray for a patient. We knew immediately we needed to fast that day.
You may ask “how did you know?”. It was just a “knowing” that it was what we needed to do. Nothing spooky or weird. We just knew.
Later that evening we arrived at the hospital and met with the patient. The patient was out of sorts. They were very unresponsive, despite not being unconscious. We knew this was more than just medical issues.
As we prayed for them we began to see signs of deliverance. Their countenance began to change and they were starting to clear up in their mind. They were able to begin to respond to us and answer questions that we asked them.
Over the next few days they continued to get better. And it wasn’t long before they were released to go home.
Through prayer and fasting, God brought deliverance for them. The two worked hand in hand in this particular situation.
So we encourage you to consider fasting if you’re not seeing a change in a situation you’ve been praying about for a length of time.
Just to caution those with health issues of any type, please make sure to consult your doctor before you try any type of fasting. There may be limits as to what you can do.
If we have health issues and we can’t go without eating, we can fast from other things besides food. Going without doing some of the things that we may love to do can also be considered a sacrifice.
God knows our heart and our situation. He will meet us where we are at.
