21 Days of Fasting and Prayer - Here as in Heavenનમૂનો

How to Fast for Revelation

God will speak to you during these 21 days of prayer and fasting. God speaks through His revealed Word, the Bible, but He also speaks through divine revelation. There is no doubt that God wants to bring powerful answers to the things you are praying for, but He also wants to reveal things to you through this fast.

Revelation is a critical component of our walk with the Lord. Proverbs 29:18 tells us, "When people do not accept divine guidance, they run wild." Apart from God's revelation, our lives can become increasingly destructive and confusing.

Jesus told the disciples how they would receive such divine revelation:

"But when the Father sends the Advocate as my representative—that is, the Holy Spirit—he will teach you everything and will remind you of everything I have told you." John 14:26

"When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own but will tell you what he has heard. He will tell you about the future. He will bring me glory by telling you whatever he receives from me." John 16:13-14

These passages teach us several things about revelation:

Revelation provides wisdom and supernatural insight. The life of faith is a life of learning and discovery. With more revelation comes more responsibility. Proverbs 25:2 says,

"It is the glory of God to conceal things, but the glory of kings is to search things out."

God doesn't conceal things from us; He conceals them for us! The same Hebrew word for glory is used both times in the verse – God's glory becomes a glory we can personally experience as we search and discover, and if we seek, we will find!

Revelation guides us into truth. In today's pluralistic society, truth has been diluted and redefined based on whatever people think is true. Imagine living your life based on a false truth. This will lead to destructive decisions, poor choices, and ultimately a life of confusion and chaos. God wants your life to flourish, and revelation is key to receiving His guidance and direction in every season of life.

Revelation reveals the future. Throughout Scripture, God regularly revealed coming events to different people. Whether through dreams, visions, or divine visitations, God desires to lead us into the future. He cares about the paths our lives take and offers to show us the way to go.

God wants to speak and reveal things to us through this time of prayer and fasting. Our job is to seek revelation, and God promises He will reveal it! So, as you're fasting and praying, be expectant for God to speak – grab a journal and a pen. Write down what He says because it will prepare and direct you in the days ahead.
