Understanding the blessedness of prayer and fasting (Part 2A) - Pastor Sule Usman

The essence of God’s commandment is for the blessing of God’s children. His commandments are not to punish us but to polish us. 2 Timothy 3:16-17, Deut. 28:1-3. There is a need for spiritual. Anytime God opens great doors for His people, adversaries come which you must contend with in Prayer and Fasting (Deut 2:24, Eph. 6:12, 1 Cor. 16:9)

Enough is Enough simply means giving the Devil a Red Card. Anything you don’t want in your life, don’t watch it! Stand up and fight. That is why we are called soldiers of Christ. To destroy wickedness in high places, we must be involved in Prayer and Fasting (Eph. 6:12). Prayer and fasting is a spiritual platform for victory in spiritual warfare (Matt.17:19-21). Jer. 1:10, Nahum 1:9, Prov. 23:18, Luke 22:3.

The enemy you do not confront you cannot conquer (1Sam. 17: 10, 48-50)

Spiritual weapons we must engage in our lives:

  1. Engage the mystery of the name of Jesus. (Philippians 2:9 – 11, Acts 3:16)

  2. Engage the mystery of angelic intervention. (Psalm 103:20, Psalm 104:4, Heb. 1:7)

  3. Engage the mystery of the earth. (John 1:1-3). You can command the earth to frustrate and stop the work of the enemy in your life and around you. You can make the earth to render the arrows of the devil useless in your life (Revelation 12:16). The earth can hear! Num. 16:1-3, 30-33.

Command the earth to make the arrows of the devil of no effect (Rev. 12:16). Speak to the earth to bring forth good things to you (Jer. 27:29).

  1. Engage the power of confrontation. David used this mystery to bring down Goliath. Confront your challenges and face them. The enemy you do not confront you cannot conquer – 1Sam. 17:10, 48, 50.

  2. Engage the vengeance of God on your enemies. Ps. 94:1.

  3. Engage the mystery of sacrifice. 2 Sam. 24:24-25.

  4. Engage the instrumentality of the fire of God. Our God is a consuming fire (Hebrew 12:29). Elijah used this mystery to destroy the prophets of Baal. Let the fire of God settle this controversy! 1Kings 18:1, 23-24. Deut 4:24. You generate the fire on the altar of prayer!

  5. Engage the mystery of bold speaking.

  6. Engage the power of prayer and fasting. Esther 4:16, Esther 7:10.

  7. Engage the weapon of praise and worship. 2Chron. 20:20-24.
