Fasts That Break Strongholds
from The River Audio Podcast with Pastor Jack Holt · host The River
In today's message, Pastor Jack challenges us to embrace a 21-day fast, not as a way to manipulate God, but as a spiritual discipline to deny our flesh and strengthen our faith. He teaches that fasting isn't just about food, but about letting the Holy Spirit lead us to surrender anything—like worry, negative thoughts, addictions, or past burdens—that controls us and hinders our spiritual growth. By living a "fasted life," we put faith back in the driver's seat, enabling us to cast our cares on God, break destructive cycles, and experience greater freedom and blessing in 2026. He encourages us to seek the Spirit’s guidance, write down what to fast, and trust that this discipline will change our desires and empower us to overcome the mountains in our lives.Tune in now!Join us for service every Sunday at 9 and 11am (PST) and Wednesday at 7pm (PST)If you received Christ through this message, text JESUS to (253) 859-0832We would love to hear how God is touching your life through this ministry!
