John 15:5 NIV

“Humility is perfect quietness of heart. It is to expect nothing, to wonder at nothing that is done to me, to feel nothing done against me. It is to be at rest when nobody praises me, and when I am blamed or despised. It is to have a blessed home in the Lord, where I can go in and shut the door, and kneel to my Father in secret, and am at peace as in a deep sea of calmness, when all around and above is trouble.”

BREAKTHROUGH COMES IN YOUR LIFE WHEN YOU FAST

“All of the pivotal moments of my ministry life have come from fasting”

– Pastor Mike

What is Biblical fasting?

• Abstaining from food for an appointed season to dedicate yourself to prayer and the Word of God.  To set our affection and dependence upon Jesus.

• Why do we fast? One reason is that Jesus and the apostles fasted. Jesus is our prime example.

Luke 3:21-22 NIV 

Luke 4:1-2 NIV 

• Jesus was led into the wilderness to fast. Breakthrough is waiting for you in the wilderness… it’s a place of testing…A place of breaking…

• Jesus defeated the enemy with the Word of God

Acts 13:2-3 NIV

Luke 4:14 NIV

WE RECEIVE SUPERNATURAL POWER WHEN WE TRAIN OUR NATURAL APPETITES

• A fast does not change God…it changes me. It helps me to hear Him more clearly

ALL OF US ARE CALLED TO OPERATE IN THE SUPERNATURAL

“The supernatural is our inheritance”
