The Power of Prayer and Fasting

Jentezen Franklin in his book, “Fasting,” mentions several benefits of fasting: (1) A fresh encounter with God. (2) It releases the anointing of God. (3) It releases the favor of God. (4) Releases the blessings of God. (5) It brings one into a deeper, more intimate and powerful relationship with the Lord. (6) It is a secret source of power. (7) Your spirit becomes uncluttered by the things of this world and amazingly sensitive to the things of God. Someone said that: Prayer, “the hand of faith strengthening its hold on the invisible God.” Fasting, “the hand of flesh loosening its hold on the visible things of the world.”
