Fasting breaks every yoke off of yourself and others (Isaiah 58:6). When you fast something in order to break the power of satan, things will begin to move. Usually things get worse because you are in a battle between darkness and light, and you must persevere UNTIL you break through. Esther and the Jews fasted 3 days and the power of evil Haman was broken. This was accomplished by group fasting (Esther 4:16). Daniel fasted, and the answers he sought came forth 21 days later (Daniel 10). Jesus stated that some devils will not come out unless you are fasting (Mark 9:29, Matthew 17:21). Mighty women and men of God fast often. A lot of churches fast in the first of the year, some daily, some weekly, etc. A fast can be from activities (like FB, Youtube, TV, shopping), a food, drink, marital relations for a short time, talking, anything that might hold back your affections from God, and to cause your spirit to ascend above your flesh. Jesus himself fasted 40 days in the beginning of His ministry (Matthew 4:2, and Luke 4:2). Fasting is a high octane boost in power in the spirit realm! Pray for wisdom for how, what, and how long to fast. Partial fasts, one meal fasts, and just not eating all you want are also power-packed ways of honoring God!
