Power Of Prayer And Fasting

DISCOVER THE POWER OF PRAYER AND FASTING

Many believe prayer combined with fasting is an archaic discipline practiced only by early believers. Yet together, prayer and fasting form a powerful tool, says Bible teacher Marilyn Hickey, for helping us to overcome evil, achieve wholeness, and experience revival. The benefits of prayer and fasting are both physical and spiritual. In fact, this combination is important to believers in every age because it:
Inspires spiritual cleansing through intense contact with the Lord
Makes us more sensitive to the Holy Spirit’s leading
Actually creates energy, tightens focus, and unifies groups of people
Promotes healing within the body
Breaks spiritual yokes of bondage
Revives our spirits to serve God.

In this informative biblical guide, Marilyn Hickey provides not only the “whys” of fasting but the “hows”: how long to fast, ways to make fasting and prayer sessions deeply effective, and inspirational thoughts for meditation on those days. Most of all, she reminds us that this ancient tradition still brings believers closer to God-galvanizing spiritual growth while enhancing physical health.
