Effective Fasting and Praying

Effective Fasting and Praying 

Fast and pray to humble yourself and to purify your worship:


James 4:1 


What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don't they come from your desires that battle within you?


1 Peter 2:11 


Dear friends, I urge you, as aliens and strangers in the world, to abstain from sinful desires, which war against your soul.


Have a clear target for prayer focus:


Proverbs 29:18 


Where there is no revelation, the people cast off restraint; but blessed is he who keeps the law.


Habakkuk 2:2 


Then the LORD replied: “Write down the revelation and make it plain on tablets so that a herald may run with it.


Fast along with someone else:


Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 


9 Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work:


10 If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up!


Expect to hear God’s voice through dreams, visions, revelations and the Word:


Daniel 10:1-2 


1 In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia, a revelation was given to Daniel (who was called Belteshazzar). Its message was true and it concerned a great war. The understanding of the message came to him in a vision.


2 At that time I, Daniel, mourned for three weeks.


Matthew 6:18 


So that it will not be obvious to men that you are fasting, but only to your Father, who is unseen; and your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.
