Prayer and Fasting
July 5, 2026
Matthew 6:5-18
3 things prayer and fasting show us:
- When I am weak – He is strong
The Lord is capable of your finances. The lord is capable of your family, The Lord is capable of your flesh
What fasting and prayer are not
-Way to make you holier than others
-Way to force God's hand on a decision
-something I do with no consideration or thought
- A life of private pursuit results in a life of public reward
What fasting and prayer are:
-Deliberate abstinence from gratification for a spiritual goal.
-renouncing the material to access the supernatural
-being intentional about meditating on His word and spending time with him
- Fasting and prayer is a chance to seek out what God wants
Repentance, Responding, and Reviewing your life all come from prayer
