6. Going by what Jesus said in Matt.17:21, “Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting; Fasting is a spiritual exercise that makes tremendous power available to handle critical matters. The followings are some of the ways one can secure results via fasting.
• Set your Objectives – Isa.58:6. What do you want to achieve? What do you want God to do for you? You must state clearly why you are going into fasting.
• Prepare Spiritually – Isa.59:1-2. This is very important because unconfessed sin hinders prayers. We must appear before God with pureness of heart.
• Make out time to be alone with God – Gen.32:24-28. During fasting, you study God's word and pray. This not a time to get busy all day.
• Be spiritually sensitive to divine promptings – Acts 13:1-2. As you fast and pray, God can impress something in your mind, be Keen to it and grab it with joy, that may be the answer you have been waiting for.
• Take actions – Acts 13:3, Deut.1:6-8. After fasting, what's next?Your fasting must be backed up with actions to produce results. If you received any word from God, this is the time to act on that word.
