GENERATING SPIRITUAL ENERGY THROUGH FASTING

0:00

To be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man.”

(Ephesians 3:16)

𝗠𝗘𝗦𝗦𝗔𝗚𝗘: In elementary science, we were taught that energy is the ability to do work. This also applies perfectly in the realm of the spirit. Spiritual energy is the capacity of a believer to contend, resist, advance, and remain in control despite opposition. It is not church attendance, title, or association that keeps a believer victorious; it is spiritual energy.

When spiritual energy is low, even small challenges feel overwhelming. When spiritual energy is high, battles bow effortlessly. One of the strongest ways we generate this energy is through fasting and prayer. Bear in mind that fasting is not a hunger strike; it is a deliberate spiritual exercise that amplifies your inner strength. When food is suspended, the spirit is given more room to dominate, thus weakening the flesh and strengthening the spirit.

Friends, there are moments when challenges may arise that external spiritual support may be out of reach. In such moments, what is required to sustain you is the energy generated within your spirit. This is why fasting is not optional for believers who desire to stay ahead this year.

Scripture said, Say unto God, how terrible are thy works! Through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies submit themselves unto thee. (Psalms 66:3). Friends, power does not fall on empty vessels, it answers to spiritual energy, and fasting is a proven way to increase that energy. Many believers are waiting endlessly for things to change, not knowing that some doors will only respond to increased spiritual capacity. You may have been waiting for a long time, hoping that things will change. However, certain challenges do not move due to the time you are waiting for them to; they only move because of the energy exerted on them in the place of fasting and prayer. Jesus said: “This kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.” (Matthew 17:21). This shows clearly that fasting generates a level of spiritual force that prayer alone may not produce. This is to say, there are challenges confronting lives, families, ministries, and destinies this year that will only bow when believers deliberately raise their spiritual energy through fasting. Scripture said, “But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost”. (Jude 1:20). There are things that once resisted me in the past that now can no longer wait for my prayers before they bow. This is not because I changed, but because my energy level changed, that is, same believer, different spiritual capacity. Friends, the forces of darkness are not slowing down their attacks on you, If you must contend, remain in control, and stay victorious this year, you must intentionally build that spiritual energy through fasting. However, this journey begins with your willingness to stay reconciled with Jesus because He has said: for without Me ye can do nothing. (John 15:5).

Repeat after me.

Lord Jesus, I accept You today as my personal Lord and Savior. Please forgive my sins and write my name in the Lamb’s Book of Life. Thank You for saving me. Amen.

𝗣𝗥𝗔𝗬𝗘𝗥: I connect you to the grace that raises spiritual giants through fasting. In the name of Jesus.

Receive the grace to subdue the flesh and activate the spiritual stamina required to contend and remain in control this year. In the name of Jesus.
