Today’s prayer
Written prayerHeavenly Father, you have given me all the tools I need to be successful against the works of the enemy. You are teaching me how to war against the powers and principalities in the spiritual realm that are taking your children into bondage. You take their deliverance seriously. Self-denial through fasting is a way to strengthen the Holy Spirit and weaken all the carnal indulgences and distractions. It is a spiritual discipline that quiets my soul so I can hear your gentle whispers more clearly. Self-denial is a valuable part of Christian discipleship and puts my flesh in subjection to the Holy Spirit. As I decrease, your power increases, and it is that anointing that breaks the bondages of wickedness, and destroys the heavy burden that weighs down your people. When the authority of Christ is declared and coupled with fasting the oppressed go free and the yoke of their bondages are broken. Spiritual warfare requires my mind to be focused on the word of God and a dedication that is willing to deny self for the sake of others. This is the fast you have chosen and called me to where I will see your miracles performed and those oppressed set free. Glory to the risen Lord! Give me the strength and perseverance to serve you with such dedication that I will see your hand move in the land of the living. In Jesus name, amen.
