10 Keys to a Spiritual BreakthroughУзор

Get so hungry for God you begin fasting 

A powerful path to spiritual breakthrough is by getting so hungry for God and His breakthrough in your life, that you spend a season of fasting and prayer. 

Jesus taught that some spiritual breakthroughs will not happen without prayer and fasting. (See Mark 9:14-29)

Listen to several statements by Jentezen Franklin about fasting: 

• When the Holy Spirit calls you to fast, He is preparing you for what is ahead. 
• Fasting is a secret source of power that is overlooked by many. It is the secret key that unlocks heaven’s door and slams shut the gates of hell.
• When you fast, your spirit becomes uncluttered by the things of this world and amazingly sensitive to the things of God.
• When God has placed a dream inside you that only He can make possible, you need to fast and pray.
• When you hunger for God, He will fill you. When you hunger for more, you will receive more. If you are willing to seek, God is willing to give.
• Could we be missing our greatest breakthroughs because we fail to fast?

I have personally experienced such a hunger for God in my life lately, that I am hungry to fast and pray more. There is something so powerful that is released in our lives when we get serious enough about a spiritual breakthrough in our lives, that we fast and abstain from food in order to experience more of God. This is biblical, and it is still true for our lives today.
