Add fasting to Prayer

Most of us are accustomed to preparing recipes and there are certain ingredients which you cannot do without.

Salt is a prime example.

While prayer is important and vital in the life of a believer, it is important to take prayer as a recipe. As part of that recipe there are many ingredients including , praise, worship, consecration and fasting.

Allow me to touch me on one of the most fundamental ingredients which you cannot do without in your prayer life

Fasting is a prime example.

Throughout the bible we encounter  men of God who set aside their precious time to dedicate themselves to prayer.

The Midnight prayer

BY LESLIE PHIRI

Allow me to touch on a very important subject in our prayer lives; the importance of praying at Midnight.

Most Christians are struggling spiritually and are faced with  predicaments that are beyond natural understanding , there is a way to get out of the mess, there is a way that leads to victory and humongous breakthroughs- midnight prayer is the panacea.

Prophet Isaiah says when the enemy comes in , like a flood the spirit of the Lord shall raise a standard against him.

Apostle Paul concludes by saying;  for we do not fight against flesh and blood but against the principalities and rulers of the darkness of this world.

There is power in waking up at midnight and praying to Father. When people are asleep, when witches , wizards and their father the devil are busy planning evil on the children of God it is important to counter the devil's antics but launching the midnight prayer.

Acts 16 v 25 gives us an account in which Peter and Silas, who had been imprisoned for preaching the Word  woke up during the midnight hour to pray  and suddenly there was a great and violent earthquake that shook the foundations of  the prison . The prison doors flew open and everyone who was bound in chains was loosed. 

That is the ultimate power of  prayer.

Amazing!
