21 Days of Fasting and Prayer - Here as in Heaven

DAY 6 OF 21

Fasting and the Power of Praise

One of the wonderful results of extended time in prayer and fasting is an increased awareness of God's presence.

As we spend extended time in prayer and fasting, we become more aware of how powerful this season of spiritual fervor is. Our prayers while fighting our physical cravings are significant, and a supernatural breakthrough is on the way.

One of the powerful spiritual weapons we can utilize each day is the power of praise. Isaiah 42 illustrates this truth:

"Sing a new song to the Lord! Sing his praises from the ends of the earth! Sing, all you who sail the seas, all you who live in distant coastlands. Let the whole world glorify the Lord; let it sing his praise. The Lord will march forth like a mighty hero; he will come out like a warrior, full of fury. He will shout his battle cry and crush all his enemies."

This passage demonstrates some of the powerful results of our praise. As we are praising, God is moving on behalf of His people. Through this fast, God is moving in the unseen realm to fight your battles and bring great victory to every part of your life. As we see in this passage, praise preceded the victory.

The truth is the more time we spend in the Lord's presence, the more we realize there is much to praise Him for. As we praise the Lord for who He is and all He has done, we see in Isaiah 42:13 that the Lord goes before His people as the mighty hero, like a warrior that crushes the enemy.

So, as you spend time today in prayer and fasting, utilize the powerful weapon of praise.

Praise the Lord for the answers to your prayers.

Praise the Lord for the amazing gifts and blessings He's already given you.

Praise the Lord for the victories that are yet to come in your life.

As you praise, your troubles get smaller as you make God bigger. Victory is coming, and your praise becomes a weapon that battles the enemy. The Lord is going before you and defeating the enemy with every word and song of praise from your lips.
