Fasting and prayer 2.

 “As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them.” Acts 13:2(KJV)

From our opening scripture, we see that fasting and prayer will make you sensitive to divine timing. For instance the Bible says as they ministered and prayed here in our opening scripture, God spoke to them concerning Paul and Barnabas and that they should be separated for the ministry to which He has called them. So as a result of their participation in this time of prayer and fasting in the Church at Antioch they could be in step with God’s plan for their lives.

Are you aware that your prayer life influences your will? As you spend time praying in the Spirit in other tongues, you are strengthening you spirit to dominate your will. This is why there has to be consistency in your prayer life. Not that you pray today and then for the next three weeks you will not pray anymore. Your lack of consistency will not help you produce the required result.

If you want to be a seasoned Christian, you will need to have a seasoned prayer life and a seasoned study life. Don’t just stop at reading the devotional alone, also read the scriptures for further study from your Bible, then also use a reference Bible to cross reference the scriptures you read from the devotional. Then take out more time to study the Word of God for yourself and pray. 

Prayer
Dear Father I ask that you grant unto me the Spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of you, thank you for the eyes of my understanding is enlightened to know the hope of your calling and the riches of the glorious inheritance in the saints even as I fast and pray in Jesus Name. Amen.
