Breaking Through Spiritual Strongholds
When we face difficulties in our walk with God, fasting can provide help to make a spiritual breakthrough.

We cannot prevent the spiritual battle from coming to us. Satan will often step up the intensity of attacks as we seek a stronger walk with Jesus - especially when in a fast. But have you noticed that adversity is the very thing that makes us strong? Salmon are resilient fish because they must fight the upstream current to lay their eggs. Fasting can provide an edge to help you breakthrough and develop a deeper relationship with Jesus. It can help you see how much Jesus wants you to experience the abundant life He offers.

About this Plan
A fasting experience will be different for each person who does one. No two fasts will be alike. Fasting with prayer should draw you closer to God. Your relationship with Him will deepen. As with many spiritual disciplines, you may encounter hidden forces that oppose you. This five-day plan will show you how others have encountered and dealt with these forces. Each plan day includes a short audio message.
