However, this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.” Matthew 17:21
This year is our year of Issac and digging wells. Our desire is for the Lord to order our steps according to his will as we continue to move forward this year. We depend and put our trust in God. Give ourselves to him and remain focused on him. By prayer and fasting, we receive divine direction and instruction for the remainder of this year.

Fasting is to abstain from physical nourishment or food. As Christians, we do this in order to kill the flesh and revive our spirit, to receive an answer to a particular matter we are facing, or simply to become closer to God.
Matthew 6:16-18 In this passage, we have Jesus himself providing us with the biblical instructions regarding fasting. Throughout the book of Matthew, we even see Jesus himself fasting making it essential to life as Christians.
Why Should we Fast?
The Bible tells us that fasting was designed as a designated time for man to not work but seek the face of God with a repented heart and ask for forgiveness of sins. Leviticus 16: 29-30
When we call a fast it is by the leading of the Holy Spirit. It’s for us as the one body, the body of Christ to collectively and personally repent and ask God for His forgiveness.

How to Fast?
When fasting it is important to keep your focus on God and stay away from sin. A typical day of fasting beings from 6 am – 6 pm. A half-day would finish at 12 noon or 3 pm. During this time there should be praying, confessions of sins, praise and worship, and making your request onto God. (Daniel 9:3, 2 Chronicles 20:3-4, Pslams 35:13, Joel 2: 12, Matthew 17:21, Luke 2:37, Nehemiah 9:1-3)
