This Kind Goes Not Except by Prayers and Fasting- 2
Introduction
Life is spiritual.
Failure to control your life in the spiritual realm opens the portal for wicked
forces and unreasonable people to control you. Failure to take authority in the
realms of the Spirit makes your followers vulnerable.
It’s like a lion. It protects
its territory from predators. In the same way, you must protect your territory
in the spiritual realm. Protecting your domain in the spiritual realm establishes
your heritage in the earthly realm.
As
stated in the previous article,
the spiritual realm is like a man standing before a mirror. The image in the
mirror reflects you in the spiritual realm. If you lift your hands before the
mirror, the image within the mirror will raise your hands.
If you sit down, the
image within the mirror will also sit down. The spiritual realm (the man in front
of the mirror) changes within the mirror when he changes position. In the same
way, when you take a selfie with your electronic device, the camera project
whatever you do with your body.
The real you is not the
person within the camera. The real you is the person standing before the
camera. That is how the spiritual and earthly realm works. When you change in
the spiritual realm, it reflects in the earthly realm.
One of the ways to
dominate the spiritual realm is through fasting and prayers. Your dominion
mandate on earth becomes established when you fast and pray as the Holy Spirit
leads. God created us to dominate the earth (see Genesis 1:26-27).
God created us to control
and expand the resources on earth. Failure to fast and pray can make you lose
your dominion mandate. Failure to fast and pray will weaken you spiritually.
When you become weak in the spirit, it will reflect in the earthly realm.
If you know the danger of
sin, you will not play with it. I have had several visions of seeing wicked people
living in spiritual prisons. You will not envy the stars of the world and
unbelievers if the Holy Spirit opens your spiritual eyes.
You will cry for them
when the
Holy Spirit opens your eyes to see their spiritual state. It is time to
engage in fasting and prayers because it does incredible things in our lives
and those connected to us.
Breaking the band of wickedness through fasting and prayers
…we know that we are of God,
and the whole world lieth in wickedness.
1 John 5:19 KJV
We
live in a dark world. The god of this world has blinded the unbelievers and
ignorant Christian believers. Because of this spiritual blindness, they work
iniquity. I pray the Lord opens your spiritual eyes to see the state of the
world, especially the spiritual condition of unbelievers.
They
have eyes but cannot see. They have ears but cannot hear. The unbelievers live
in dark dungeons guarded by wicked forces in the spiritual realm. Today, some
countries are legalizing abortion, lesbianism, gay, and immoral practices on
the basis of “human rights.”
Suppose
the world knew the danger of these wicked activities. In that case, they will
not engage in these abominable acts (see Genesis chapters six and nineteen). It
would help if you did not fall into the trap of the unbelievers.
This
is one reason I am writing this article. Suppose you live with people who hate
the things of God, the church, and Christian believers, fast and pray for them.
Fast and pray for them to receive deliverance in the spiritual realm.
Until
you fast and pray, the wicked forces controlling them will not leave (meditate
on 2 Corinthians 10:3-5). Fasting and prayers have the power to break the
chains of the wicked. Fasting and prayers can deliver the captive.
The conspiracy of the forty men
And when it was day, certain of the Jews banded together, and bound
themselves under a curse, saying that they would neither eat nor drink till
they had killed Paul.
And they were more than forty which had made this conspiracy.
Acts 23:12-13 KJV
Forty Jews decided to
kill Apostle Paul in cold blood. These men knew the power of fasting. They chose
not to eat or drink until they had killed Paul. This was a conspiracy (murder).
Apostle Paul was doing the work of God. However, some wicked “religious men”
decided to assassinate him.
Apostle Paul would have
died at the hand of these evil men if God did not intervene. Do not be over-righteous.
Don’t assume that your innocence will make everybody love you. Your good works are
provoking the devil and wicked people. You must fast and pray to break the conspiracy
of the vicious enemy’s trap—some cruel human beings who have desired your
death.
Is
not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo
the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every
yoke?
Isaiah 58:6 KJV
Through fasting, we can
loose the bands of wickedness (Freely download my book, the mysteries of evil seeds, on my blog). It is not everybody that
has faith. Some people hate Christ Jesus.
They hate God. You become
an enemy when you talk about Christ Jesus, the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Bible
(see John 15:18). Some people have made a covenant with the devil and wicked spiritual
forces.
They plan to eliminate you. God is saying, fast and pray to break the conspiracy of the wicked and unseen forces. Fasting and prayers will disorganize the plans of the wicked.
Some people think like animals. They have the nature of demons and wild animals
(see Matthew 10:16, Luke 10:19). You must fast and pray so that God will
deliver you from these unreasonable people.
Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free
course, and be glorified, even as it is with you:
And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all men
have not faith.
2 Thessalonians 3:1-2 KJV
Pray that God will
deliver you and your loved ones from wicked and unreasonable people. Evil
people can destroy your church, business, school, family, house, and
hard-earned assets if you don't fast and pray.
As stated in the book of
Isaiah (see Isaiah 58:6), fasting and prayers break the cords of the wicked.
Fasting and prayers will deliver you from darkness (misery, obscurity, sorrow,
depression, destruction, and premature death).
Don’t sit idle and expect
God to fight for you. Most of the promises of God require your input. God is
ready to fulfill his promise recorded in the Holy Bible. However, you have a
role to play. Fasting and prayer are one of your roles.
One thing I have observed
in my life is that fasting and prayers deliver me from the enemy’s trap. The
more I fast and pray, I see the Lord defeating strange enemies. It is time to
engage in fasting and prayers because wickedness is real.
Demons are real. You will
dominate the wicked vessels in the spiritual and earthly realm with fasting and
prayers. When you fast and pray, victory
will come your way. This victory will reflect in your life.
The case of Hadassah and the Jews
Go, gather together all the Jews that are present in Shushan, and fast
ye for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day: I also and my
maidens will fast likewise; and so will I go in unto the King, which is
not according to the law: and if I perish, I perish.
Esther 4:16 KJV
I believe you are
familiar with the conspiracy of Haman in the book of Esther. Haman planned to assassinate
the lineage of the Jews because Mordecai did not bow to him. Haman was one of the
King’s favorites.
He had great authority in
Persia. Haman desired the slavery of the Jews. He wanted to act like a god.
However, Mordecai rebelled. One reason Mordecai didn’t want to bow to Haman was
that it was custom that Jews do not bow to Gentiles.
Specifically to the Amalekites.
The Jews have a covenant with God. They bowed to the true God, not to a man. However,
Haman wanted to break their covenant with God. Because Mordecai rejected the
abuse of Haman, he decided to kill the Mordecai and the entire lineage of the
Jews.
When Mordecai heard of
Haman’s plan, he communicated Haman’s plans to Esther. Esther was the wife of
King Ahasuerus. She was also a Jew. Esther had to appear before the King to appeal.
However, she needed an invitation before coming to the King.
Persia's custom was that
anyone who appeared before the King without an invitation must die. However,
Esther knew the power of fasting and prayers. Esther, Mordecai, and the Jews
fasted and prayed for three days.
After fasting and
prayers, Esther entered the courts of the King without invitation. Esther
should have died because she broke the law. However, the King showed Esther
mercy. Through fasting and prayers, God used Esther to avert Haman's plans.
Instead of Mordecai,
Esther, and the Jews dying, Haman and his lineage died. What would have
happened had Esther and his people not fasted and prayed? I recommend reading the
book of Esther for a better understanding.
Through fasting and
prayers, the Lord delivered Esther and the Jews from assassination. I don’t know
who has planned your death. The enemy might have planned to eliminate your
family and business.
Maybe you have a case in
the law court. Fasting and prayers can settle that case. It doesn’t matter how
wicked the lawyers are. If you fast and pray, God will show mercy. The court of
heaven will settle the case.
We serve a merciful God.
He can make a way where there seems to be no way. Like David, after he committed
adultery with Uriah’s wife, he repented, fasted, and prayed for divine mercies.
Through fasting and prayers, God showed him mercy.
If you genuinely fast and
pray, God will show you compassion. It doesn’t matter the people opposing you
and the intensity of the problem. If you fast and pray, God will deliver you.
God will deliver those connected to you when you fast and pray from your heart.
Apostle Peter receives deliverance.
Now about that time Herod the King stretched forth his hands to
vex certain of the church.
And he killed James the brother of John with the sword.
And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take
Peter also. (Then were the days of unleavened bread.)
And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and
delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending
after Easter to bring him forth to the people.
Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing
of the church unto God for him.
Acts 12:1-5 KJV
Some
authorities have no fear for God, the church, innocent people, trees, water
bodies, and successful businesses. These wicked leaders hate the light because
darkness rules their hearts. Without fasting and prayers, you cannot break
their evil leadership.
Like
King Herod, he destroyed churches and killed Apostle James and several
Christian believers. This King had no fear for the saints of God and the church.
He decided to eliminate Apostle Peter.
However, the church did not keep silent. The church engaged in prayers. I believe they added fasting to the prayers. The church prayed because they didn’t want to lose Apostle Peter.
What would have happened had the church not fasted and prayed
for Apostle Peter? It is time to fast and pray because some leaders (fathers,
mothers, siblings, state ministers, presidents, religious leaders, chief executive
officers, and managers) do not fear God.
Their
heart is seared with hot iron. These “leaders” do not believe in Christ Jesus.
They see God as a myth. They have the heart of Herod. Failure to engage in
fasting and prayers will empower them to harm you, the church, thriving
businesses, nature, and responsible leaders.
Several
false religious leaders are misleading innocent souls. Failure to fast and pray
will empower these wicked wolves in sheep's clothing to destroy and abuse the
church, country, resources, and innocent souls.
You
can even fall into the trap of these blind and evil “leaders” if you are not
watchful and prayerful (meditate on Matthew 26:41). I remember discussing this with
a Christian believer in America (Georgia).
In
our conversation, he stated that most leaders in the church are destroying the
ministry. Today, most churches have become a business. There is no genuine
spirituality. Most churches are full of carnal people because Christian
believers are not fasting and praying.
If
we fast and pray, there will be divine power and miracles. The Holy Spirit will
raise Spirit-filled preachers and teachers of the Word if we fast and pray. Christian
believers dying before their time will encounter God if we fast and pray.
Our
churches will revive if we fast and pray. Ministers of the gospel will preach
and teach from the Holy Bible if we fast and pray. Wicked and unreasonable leaders
will fall and repent if we fast and pray. The Lord will expose and destroy false
religious bodies growing in our communities if we fast and pray (meditate on 2
Chronicles 7:14).
The enemy within the tribe
…a man's foes shall be they of his own
household.
Matthew 10:36 KJV
These are the words of
our Savior and Lord Christ Jesus. The one within your chambers can be your
greatest enemy. Enemies
are in levels. Some enemies attack out of ignorance—some, too, attack
intentionally.
Freely download and read
my book on my blog, how to live and deal with enemies, because there are nine types of enemies.
It will help if you know how to deal with these enemies. The fact that someone
buys you gifts does not mean he loves you from his heart.
The fact that someone
laughs with you does not necessarily means that that person loves you from his
heart. Someone can smile at you. That same person carries hatred in his heart
when you succeed.
Your success is his sorrow.
Your failure is his joy. Sometimes your parents and siblings can be your enemies
(meditate on Matthew 10:36 and the life of Joseph in the book of Genesis). You
need discernment to detect these invisible enemies. Engaging in fasting and prayers
can expose these secret enemies. The one you trust most can be your greatest
enemy. This is one reason Christ Jesus did not commit himself to humankind.
Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast day,
many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which he did.
But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men,
And needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what was in
man.
John 2:23-25 KJV
The people who shouted
Hosanna to Christ Jesus were those who shouted crucify him. It is good to love
people. However, don’t be fooled by the smile and generosity of people. Some people
can fake love (You can check out my book, what is love for more
wisdom keys).
Our real enemy is Satan.
However, some people have covenanted with demons to destroy you and your
lineage. Engage in fasting and prayers so that the Lord will eliminate every
Herod, Goliath, Jezebel, Ahab, Doeg, Sanballat, and Tobiah in your life.
Cain and Abel were
siblings. However, Cain killed Abel in cold blood. I am not writing this
article to make you cynical. However, to make you live in wisdom and power. If
you want your spiritual senses to be active, engage in fasting and prayers.
You might not see the power
of fasting and prayers. However, the more you engage in fasting and prayers,
the pretenders and secret enemies will begin to distance themselves from you.
It’s like a magnet.
The more you fast and pray;
secret enemies will not feel attracted to you. They will not come near because
of your fasting and prayer life. Your consistent fasting and prayer life will
create a shield around you. With this shield, they will not be able to harm
you.
The presence of the invisible strongholds
Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against
the wiles of the devil.
Ephesians 6:11 KJV
A natural man who is not progressing
desires to see his fellow fail. Do you want to know why? It’s because of jealousy,
pride, and demonic influence. The moment you rise, you become a target.
Almost everybody desires
to associate with you in your glorious state. However, some unseen forces fight
our progress. Apostle Paul writes that we must put on the whole armor of God. Putting
on the whole of God helps us stand against the enemy’s trap.
Apostle Paul did not
write that we should put on some armor of God. He wrote that we must put on the
whole armor of God. Paul wrote that because there is a spiritual battle. He
wrote that because invisible forces are waiting to fight us (see Ephesians 6:12-18).
Some families have a
trace (a record) of stagnancy, poverty, strange sickness, and miseries. It’s a curse
operating in such a tribe. Belonging to such families makes you a candidate for
the wicked altars and witches to hunt you.
Failure to fast and pray
will empower the witches in your family, school, workplace, and neighborhood to
steal, destroy, and kill (meditate on John 10:10). In some communities, no one
prospers financially.
Some communities, too, have
sick and evil-minded people. In some workplaces and schools, a worker and
student die every year. If you are not prayerful, these powers can recruit you.
The familiar spirits operating in your circles can silence you if you don’t engage
in fasting and prayers.
You have kept silent for
a long time. It is time to engage in fasting and prayers. The strange birds,
curses, demonic altars, and wicked forces will vacate if you engage in fasting
and prayers.
