Entering into August, the yearly October 1 Hong Kong Day of Prayer is only two months away. At the end of August, there will be a yearly 40-day-fast. I encourage you to participate in this 40-day-fast. Why?
Fasting is a necessary exercise for spiritual believers. Jesus faced the temptation of devil when he fast. He did not fall into temptation. Paul faced a spiritual crisis and did not eat nor drink for 3 days. When Daniel was young, he knew how to abstain from royal food and drink but eat vegetables and drink water. As a result he was ten times better than magicians and enchanters (Daniel 1:20). Fasting, why not?
God’s chosen fast, with better intention:
1. To loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke (Isaiah 58:6)
This is referring to spiritual bondage. Doing many healing and deliverance ministry, I understood that many people were attacked by evil spirit at different levels. The easiest way is to fast. It set the oppressed free and give people’s spirit freedom. Break all the spiritual yokes, so that people can enjoy freedom in the spirit every day. Fasting, why not?
2. Fasting break forth light of righteous (Isaiah 58:8)
Doing justice, loving mercy, walking with our God is pleasing to God, sometimes we want to, but can’t do it. When you fast, your light of righteous will be discovered in darkness, your night will become like the noonday (Isaiah 58:10).
3. Fasting will heal you (Isaiah 58:9)
After practicing years of fasting, my body became stronger and stronger. I also experienced several times of supernatural healing. I am most thankful of God’s word, I become a healer, and have more and more healing anointing.
4. God will answer your cry out (Isaiah 58:9)
Many people do not know this secret. Fasting can bring down the promise of God quickly. Maybe people will ask, why we have to fast before God will answer quickly? I think, Daniel’s experience just answered this necessity of fasting. God answered Daniel’s prayer, the angel quickly came, but the devil blocked, fasting of Daniel was to fight devil’s blockage so that God’s answer quickly came to him (Daniel 10:2-3, 12-13).
Therefore, let us fast together this summer, bless this city and also bless ourselves.
