(Eleventh part)
Memory verse (Is58: 8) “ Then your light shall break forth like the morning, your healing shall spring forth speedily, and your righteousness shall go before you; the glory of the LORD shall be your rear guard ”.
Jesus made a statement about fasting that is astounding: “SOME THINGS DON’T GO AWAY EXCEPT BY PRAYER AND FASTING” (Matt 17:21). What Jesus meant is that without prayer and fasting there are certain things in our lives that will never go away to give God room and freedom to flow into their lives and make them unstoppable in their ministry and life. And God comes in with a very powerful teaching by saying that true prayer and fasting with true focus will destroy the yokes, will lift the heavy burden off your life, will demolish all satanic oppression off your life and mind, and will break in your life all bonds of wickedness and put to death all selfishness to give way to God’s agape love to flow in and through your live.
When God flushes out the rottenness that was inside our lives, when he changes us inside out, then we will begin to see things changing everywhere around our lives. Our marriages, finances, ministry, businesses, relationships will begin to change. When everything that hindered God to move in and through your life is removed, then God will come into your life with power, blessings, healings, favor, presence, glory, revelation, light etc. If things change in your life then changes will begin to take place in all things around you.
The first benefit is DIVINE INFLUENCE. God said your light would break forth like the morning. It’s amazing; since you are born again the light of God comes into your life. In fact the scripture says the spirit of a man is the candle of the Lord (Pr 20: 27). When the Spirit of God comes into our lives at the new birth experience, he ignites our spirits. But the yokes, works of the flesh, sins in dark areas of our lives, fight the light like carbon dioxide trying to extinguishes it. Once these things are removed, then God’s light from our reborn spirits begins to shine forth (Matt5: 16). Your light will shine before all men. You begin to influence people around you in your family, workplace, business etc. Your life begins to impact people’s thoughts, actions and ways of living.
