<span style="font-kerning: none;"><b>Angels</b> play a very critical part in the Breakthrough Process and as you will see in the scripture below they were the messengers God used to bring the answers and revelation Daniel was seeking.</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">In other words, Daniel went on a fast to gain revelation and understanding. As he fasted and prayed, angels were released on his behalf to bring in the answer. Daniel experienced answered prayers, and he also experienced breakthrough in the earth realm.</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;"><b><i>Daniel 9</i></b><i> In the first year of Darius the son of Ahasuerus, of the seed of the Medes, which was made king over the realm of the Chaldeans; In the first year of his reign I Daniel understood by books the number of the years, whereof the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the prophet, that he would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem. And I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes: And I prayed unto the LORD my God, and made my confession, and said, O Lord, the great and dreadful God, keeping the covenant and mercy to them that love him, and to them that keep his commandments; We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from thy precepts and from thy judgments: Neither have we hearkened</i> <i>unto thy</i> <i>servants the prophets, which spake in thy name to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land. O LORD, righteousness belongeth unto thee, but unto us confusion of faces, as at this day; to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and unto all Israel, that are near, and that are far off, through all the countries whither thou hast driven them, because of their trespass that they have trespassed against thee. O Lord, to us belongeth confusion of face, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against thee. To the Lord our God belong mercies and forgivenesses, though we have rebelled against him; Neither have we obeyed the voice of the LORD our God, to walk in his laws, which he set before us by his servants the prophets. Yea, all Israel have transgressed thy law, even by departing, that they might not obey thy voice; therefore the curse is poured upon us, and the oath that is written in the law of Moses the servant of God, because we have sinned against him. And he hath confirmed his words, which he spake against us, and against our judges that judged us, by bringing upon us a great evil: for under the whole heaven hath not been done as hath been done upon Jerusalem. As it is written in the law of Moses, all this evil is come upon us: yet made we not our prayer before the LORD our God, that we might turn from our iniquities, and understand thy truth.</i></span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;"><i>Therefore hath the LORD watched upon the evil, and brought it upon us: for the LORD our God is righteous in all his works which he doeth: for we obeyed not his voice. And now, O Lord our God, that hast brought thy people forth out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and hast gotten thee renown, as at this day; we have sinned, we have done wickedly. O LORD, according to all thy righteousness, I beseech thee, let thine anger and thy fury be turned away from thy city Jerusalem, thy holy mountain: because for our sins, and for the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and thy people are become a reproach to all that are about us. Now therefore, O our God, hear the prayer of thy servant, and his supplications, and cause thy face to shine upon thy sanctuary that is desolate, for the Lord’s sake. O my God, incline thine ear, and hear; open thine eyes, and behold our desolations, and the city which is called by thy name: for we do not present our supplications before thee for our righteousness, but for thy great mercies. O Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive; O Lord, hearken and do; defer not, for thine own sake, O my God: for thy city and thy people are called by thy name. And whiles I was speaking, and praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication before the LORD my God for the holy mountain of my God; Yea, whiles I was speaking in prayer, even</i> the <i>man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, touched me about the time of the evening oblation. And he informed me, and talked with me, and said, O Daniel, I am now come forth to give thee skill and understanding. At the beginning of thy supplications the commandment came forth, and I am come to shew thee; for thou art greatly beloved: therefore understand the matter, and consider the vision. Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy. Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times. And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined. And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.</i></span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;"><b>Did you notice in that prayer how Daniel poured his heart out to God? </b>If you didn’t notice go back and start to re-read the scriptures. He cried out, he confessed and he even repented on behalf of others. He really cried out from the heart and prayers that are always prayed from the heart get Heaven’s attention.</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;"><i>And, behold, one like the similitude of the sons of men touched my lips: then I opened my mouth, and spake, and said unto him that stood before me, O my lord, by the vision my sorrows are turned upon me, and I have retained no strength.

<span style="font-kerning: none;">Could it be that <b>Michael</b> one of the highest ranking angels was the only person who also had the revelation and understanding that was going to be released to Daniel<b>? That is PROFOUND!</b> Imagine why the warfare was so great? Daniel had set out to understand the dream/vision God had given him but was not able to understand it until an angel of the Lord appeared to him. What this instantly taught me was that, even when God reveals a dream or a vision to an individual, at the same time revelation of the dream or vision is not always granted. Though a dream may come, the revelation of the dream may not be released. At times, it will still take fasting and praying to release the revelation from heaven. It is clear that although he had been given the dream/vision, the revelation of the dream had not yet been given, and I repeatedly bring this up because I want to make a point. Many believers mis-interpret a dream or a vision or they share it before time and come to their own conclusion before the proper revelation concerning the dream/vision is released. This also serves as a word of wisdom and a word of warning. After the Lord has given you a dream/vision pray and wait for the interpretation!</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; min-height: 20px;">

<span style="font-kerning: none;">Due to the nature and magnitude of this dream/vision there was a fight for the knowledge to be released from Heaven, and due to the weight of the information that was to be shared it was a serious battle in the second Heaven. It was so serious that Michael, who is one of the highest ranking angels, had to come and assist with this battle! It was won but only because of Daniel’s persistent assignment and completion to fasting and prayer!</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; min-height: 20px;">

<span style="font-kerning: none;">In the kingdom of Heaven things are set up thru rankings, hierarchies and chains of command. Just as it is in the natural on the battle ground, if a warrior is not as trained or equipped for battle, another warrior who is better qualified, trained and equipped will step in and fight so that the battle may be won<b>. This also reveals WHY some of our prayers are not answered. You see, the moment Daniel set his face to make prayer to the Lord, his supplication was heard. Notice, “heard” not “answered”. “Hearing” and “answering” are two totally different things.</b></span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; min-height: 20px;">

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">The angel said, “From the first day,” not the second day or the third day, BUT “<b><i>from first day</i></b> that thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were (heard)!!! Also, notice that it didn’t say “heard and then the Lord answered…”</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">Also, notice how the angel used the word “CHASTEN”. That word means…. chas•ten mean to inflict suffering upon for purposes of moral improvement; chastise. to restrain; subdue: to make chaste in style. Yes! Fasting is inflicting oneself, and it was evident and apparent that Daniel did just that for divine purposes. </span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal; min-height: 20px;">

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">What is also wonderful is the fact that a Holy God responds when we discipline ourselves for his glory, purposes and assignment. The problem in many cases is that we don’t persevere in fasting and praying long enough so that the time is released through the Third Heaven to the Second Heavens, through the Earth to manifest. Sometimes we want things as soon as we pray but do not understand the proper timing and also misunderstanding the war that has to be won in the sprit realm so that the manifestation of what we have been praying for is released! Please don’t get me wrong, sometimes there is an instant answer to prayer, and guess what? During those sovereign times when God choose to move as such it is not always understandable. On the contrary, some people remain under an “Open Heaven” due to a fasted and prayer lifestyle so when they pray it often seems as if answers are granted with no time awaited. It is because ….. The Heavens are ALREADY open over them and things generally manifest with ease. This isn’t at all to say the least about Daniel but there is so much more that happens in the spirit realm which is far greater than our own earthly understanding, but I sincerely believe <b>IF we prayed and fasted</b> more and also persevered and waited for the answers, solutions, problems to be solved and breakthroughs, we would be receiving more on a consistent basis.</span></div>

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 17px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">It was very evident based upon the scripture, that much Angelic Activity was taking place while God was releasing these Holy Visions to Daniel, during his time of fasting and afterwards. It is such a beautiful thing that our sacrifice, obedience, seek and search can release God’s messengers in our life. Be mindful of the fact that when you fast and pray, angels are released from Heaven to work on your behalf. Even if you do not see them working behind the scenes you have to rest in assurance that Gods word is true, and if they showed up for Daniel they will also show up for you! </span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">Also, note in verse eighteen that there was another angel that came to strengthen Daniel. 18 Then there came again and touched me one like the appearance of a man, <b><i>and he strengthened me</i></b>, Then said he unto me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were heard, and I am come for thy words. But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia. 22 And he informed me, and talked with me, and said, O Daniel, I am now come forth to give thee <b>skill and understanding</b>.</span></div>

When He ascended into Heaven and was seated at the right hand of the Father, the same power that He walked in didn’t leave. On the contrary, that power was released at Pentecost, and that power is still here today!</span></span></div>

The power of God was able to follow Christ because He lived a lifestyle that was pleasing unto the Father; one of obedience, prayer and fasting.</span></span></div>

That’s the power of Christ. It was very evident, based upon the results that followed, that the anointing was present. It takes the anointing to break yokes of bondage. Without the tangible presence and power of God on our lives deliverance will not come forth.</span></span></div>

And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written, 18The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,19To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. 20And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him. 21And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears. 22And all bare him witness, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth. And they said, Is not this Joseph’s son? 23And he said unto them, Ye will surely say unto me this proverb, Physician, heal thyself: whatsoever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in thy country. 24And he said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in his own country. Much can be pulled from the above verses. Chapter two highlights additionally revealed truths that happened as a result of the forty-day fast, but here, I wanted to highlight the glory that followed him after the fast.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">What does it mean to have The Favor of God?</span></div>

<br />
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">To favor means, “to give special regard to; to treat with goodwill; to show exceptional kindness to someone. Sometimes, it means to show extra kindness in comparison to the treatment of others; that is, preferential treatment.”</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; line-height: normal; min-height: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">It is from this use of favor that we get the word, “favorite”. The greatest favors are shown to the favorite. Ex., “that is my favorite student! That is my favorite teacher! That is my favorite friend!”</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; line-height: normal; min-height: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">This insinuates there is a difference, and sometimes it can’t be explained in words. My personal belief is that people can say what they want about favor, but there is a price to pay to have favor smeared on your life. That price is Obedience!</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; line-height: normal; min-height: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">I am reminded of the story of Joseph, and although I am not going to go into detail here, it was undoubtedly so that favor rested upon his life. However, even in the midst of the favor resting upon him he had to pay a tremendous price on order for others to realize it was there. Many believers (to me) aren’t willing to pay such a price.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; line-height: normal; min-height: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">Another Biblical example of Favor was Esther. Esther received royal favor above all the other virgins (Esther 2:17), and the king loved Esther above all the women, and she obtained grace and favour in his sight more than all the virgins; so that he set the royal crown upon her head and made her queen instead of Vashti.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; line-height: normal; min-height: 13px;">

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">How favor and fasting connects is this. When a person fasts they get Gods attention, and that individual begins to do things that will please the Lord. In doing so, it is like a breath of fresh air being sent up to heaven in the nostrils of God. He then in turn begins to reciprocate the same but in ways that will now allow others to grant you attention, access and all sorts of things.</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">However, favor is not always used in a comparative way toward others. It sometimes simply means that the one favored is shown kindness and treated with a generosity and goodwill far beyond what would normally be expected. This is generally the favor that we receive from the Lord. We are treated much better than we could expect. Of course, every believer is favored to some degree. Therefore, we must understand God’s favor in degrees. The more we please God, the more we will be favored by Him. Also, it is important not to think of this favor in material or worldly terms. God’s favor, most likely, will be given in spiritual blessings more than in material blessings. Here are some of the ways by which we obtain the favor of the Lord:</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">Another Definition: "Jealousy is resenting the fact that others have something, do something, or are something, that you wish you had, could do, or were.”</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; line-height: normal; min-height: 19px;">

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">If jealousy is not repented of, dear friend, and if you’re suffering from that sin, and you don’t deal with it, or let God deal with it in your heart, then that jealousy is going to turn to hate. Furthermore, that hate will end up consuming your entire life; it will control you.</span></div>

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">Jealousy can and does close doors. It is really a smack in the face towards a holy God, who is sovereign and who gives gifts as he chooses and wills. In actuality, it really says, “God what you gave me is not enough. I don’t like this anointing; I don’t like how you use me. I wish you would use me another way.”</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; line-height: normal; min-height: 19px;">

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">Certainly, there is nothing wrong with admiration, but even too much of that is off balance and can lead to hate and malice if a jealous spirit is operating and not put in check.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; line-height: normal; min-height: 19px;">

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">Since we are talking about “breakthrough” here, I want to make sure we are continuing to shed light on the hindrances that allow us to miss the breakthrough. If jealousy is a problem with which you know that you wrestle, you have to take it before the Lord while you are fasting and praying and trust God to deliver you and free you from it.</span></div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; line-height: normal; min-height: 19px;">

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">What we have to keep in mind is that there will always be someone who has better hair, is prettier, a better shape, is more anointed, has a bigger ministry, sang the house down; more gifted than us, has a sharper mind, better work ethic, more driven… The list goes on! The acceptance of others allows our gifts to not only spring forth but also to flourish! Remember Elijah and Elisha. If he were jealous, he would never have been able to catch the mantle that Elijah had.</span></div>

<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgb(0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: initial; font-family: Helvetica; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">You may never know what that individual or person had to go through to obtain those things, those blessings, or the level of sacrifice they had to pay to walk in that anointing. How many hours they spent in prayer or fasting, the level of obedience they had to yield to the Lord and what happened behind the scenes in order for them to walk in it.</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">Many times because of the sacrifice of one of their ancestors, It could also be a price that one of their mothers or father or grandparents had to pay, and now they are walking in the blessing that was released through the bloodline because of someone else’s obedience!</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">I am sure we all have heard the statement, “The Green Eyed Monster.” Ironically, so, the first time I ever heard the term mentioned, I didn’t know what in the world that meant. My response was something like this, “Come Again Please?” This meant I absolutely had NO idea concerning what they were speaking. Ironically, I was dealing with a person who had issues, and this spirit began operating in a way that made me very uncomfortable. When you have a spirit of jealousy attached to you, it will not only make you jealous towards one person but many. Insecurities could be the deep-rooted issue that will allow you to become prey to this spirit and kill others with your words, throw darts in the spirit. When enter that persons presence, you feel a sense of dislike towards them for no apparent reason.</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">When we hate ourselves, it is very difficult to love others. No, love for yourself will cause you to hate others! If we are Jealous of others success, marriage, ministry, spiritual gifts or children, we can hinder what God could be trying to deliver to us. Hence, this becomes a major hindrance to receiving breakthrough. We cannot have what we cannot embrace. What we cannot celebrate will be very difficult for us to obtain, OR maintain. If we are blessed, at each level there will always be someone who is experiencing more.</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">Another thing that may be noted is that while growing up in a household of multiple children, it may be obvious that the anointing may rest stronger on one child than it does on another. Although this may be true, it does not at all mean that God is not concerned or cares about the others but sometimes this can cause a root.</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">However, while that anointing may be present, that child may have to endure things that the others may not. Think of the story of Joseph who was favored by God, but his brothers were jealous of him. Now in the end, he did rule, and he really had the opportunity to show up and mistreat and repay because of what they did to him as a child. Though the favor was on his life, he had to be repeatedly processed, prepared and positioned to rule and reign. That favor, of which his siblings were jealous, would be the same favor that would cause him to be tested and tried endlessly and proven time after time whether he was going to pass the test to one day assumes the throne.</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">I have seen firsthand how this spirit operates, and I am still learning about this vicious spirit. I use the word “vicious” because of the murder in the spirit realm that this spirit can do to a person. This spirit will cause your close friend to turn on you in an instant and betray you, it will cause your name to be damaged, and it will cause your character to come under attack. This is the same Spirit that Cain had towards his own brother Abel, which is the first recorded occurrence of this in the Bible in Genesis chapter four.</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">Also don’t MISUNDERSTAND another person’s actions as Jealousy IF you are a withdrawn person. For example, there is something in you that repels others and therefore this begins to push people away. You may think others are jealousy of you because they may not want to be bothered with you. Don’t misunderstand this as jealously because you may be pushing others away based upon things in your heart that need to be healed and delivered. </span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">God will allow us to want in some areas for the purpose of keeping us faithful to Him. If He gave us everything we wanted, how many of us would live to be seventy years old? (He who has ears to hear….) God wants us to fellowship with Him and come to Him with both praise and needs. The Lord Jesus Christ stressed prayer as a vital part of the disciple’s prayer. If all things were supplied, how much would you pray and how faithful to God would you be with many things. What about Moses in the wilderness; all things they needed were supplied, but at the time of need, it was their greed and desires that got them into trouble. Read Psalm 106:13-18!</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">In other words, though I may see all of this potential in me, though I know and understand that I am destined for greatness, though I can feel that God really wants to use me greatly for his glory, if I don’t put myself under subjection to living a lifestyle of fasting some of those things that I know is there will not be able to be obtained. I know it sounds a bit harsh because the way this is reading makes it seems as (if you don’t apply) this to your life you will not be able to obtain anything. Let me bring balance, I believe you can have all the things that I mentioned above however there will be a greater amount of resistance and opposition for you to get there without a disciplined lifestyle of fasting and prayer. As I mentioned in another chapter of the book, fasting always accelerates a process. You will now be able to tap into certain areas at a quicker pace due to obedience through fasting. I hope that makes sense and brings some clarity.</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">You may wonder, what about all the celebrities and the rich folk in the world and how it seems that they are living their dreams, and walking out their calling? For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? (Mark 8:36)</span></div>

<div style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">16 And he asked the scribes, What question ye with them? </span></div>
<div style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">17 And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have brought unto thee my son, which hath a dumb spirit; </span></div>
<div style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">18 And wheresoever he taketh him, he teareth him: and he foameth, and gnasheth with his teeth, and pineth away: and I spake to thy disciples that they should cast him out; and they could not. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">19 He answereth him, and saith, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto me. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">20 And they brought him unto him: and when he saw him, straightway the spirit tare him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">21 And he asked his father, How long is it ago since this came unto him? And he said, Of a child. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">22 And ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but if thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">23 Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">25 When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">26 And the spirit cried, and rent him sore, and came out of him: and he was as one dead; insomuch that many said, He is dead. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">27 But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">28 And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him</span></div>

<div style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">16 And I brought him to thy disciples, and they could not cure him. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">17 Then Jesus answered and said, O faithless and perverse generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him hither to me. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">18 And Jesus rebuked the devil; and he departed out of him: and the child was cured from that very hour. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">19 Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out? </span></div>
<div style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">20 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">21 Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting (Matthew 17:15-21).</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">What this demonstrated to me is that Jesus lived a life of not only prayer but also fasting. He was able to cast the demon out of this child but the disciples were not.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal; min-height: 17px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">This also brings me to another point. Deliverance ministry is not for everyone. And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; (Scripture reference)</span></div>
<div style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal; min-height: 17px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="-webkit-font-kerning: none; font-size: 15px; line-height: normal;"><b>Matthew 16:17</b></span><span style="font-kerning: none;"> clearly show us the different signs that shall follow believers, but many times we are not living according to the word of God where we are keeping ourselves clean and pure before the Lord. We are not studying and reading the word as well as fasting and praying, and we are not in any kind of position to cast a demon out of anybody.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal; min-height: 17px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">Think about this, if the disciples who closely followed Christ could not cast the spirit out of this child, how much more should we examine our personal walk with the Lord? Are we praying? Are we fasting? Are we spending time with God allowing the anointing to saturate our life? Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. It also takes faith to cancel out doubt and unbelief, and Jesus made a statement when he said…</span></div>
<div style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal; min-height: 17px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">Oh faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I suffer you? Bring him unto me.” (Reference?)</span></div>
<div style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal; min-height: 17px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">Was it their faith or the lack thereof? This is one of the reasons I sincerely believe we must be ready at all times. There is a sinful world out there, and God has commissioned us to minister the gospel of Jesus Christ. In order for us to be as effective as our Savior was as he walked the earth, we have to come up higher. Not only was He given authority and power but He was also given revelation as to the kind of spirit with which He was contending.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal; min-height: 17px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">You may be in a predicament where you don’t have time to go on a twenty-one day fast. You may not have time to go on a three day fast, but if your lifestyle is one filled with fasting and prayer, that won’t matter. There will be times where you will not be able to say, “Wait a minute; stand right there, and I will be back. I’ve got to go on a fast and seek God about this.” Someone will need and depend on you to be READY for war! Just as it was with Jesus on that day when this little child was delivered, He was ready!</span></div>
<div style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal; min-height: 17px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">Think about this; I mean really think about this! If Jesus wasn’t there on that day a child would not have been delivered, and neither would a precious father who had been seeking healing for his child. Can you imagine the torment that was taking place in the home of that child? Although it is mentioned that his father came seeking healing, can you also wonder if this child’s mother was still alive? More than likely, the mother and father were still together. I am sure this affected the entire household to have a child with problems like this. Yes, the problems were caused by an evil spirit, but these were SERIOUS issues to deal with. I am sure his parents were going through a lot dealing with mental torment themselves. What if there were other siblings in the home? If so, were they frightened to allow this child to be around the other children? Were they worried that the child would hurt the other siblings? Even if there were no other siblings, a normal childhood was out of the question. More than likely the neighbors didn’t want him interacting with their children either.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal; min-height: 17px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">Many times when we read the word of God we have to realize that ALL of the details are not mentioned. The stories were real, and these were authentic people to whom Jesus was bringing hope. Real lives were being affected, and, had it not been for our precious Savior this child would not have received his miracle on that day - not only the child, but the entire household and even the community. It’s so important for us to be on post! We must be ready at all times to be about our Father’s business!</span></div>
<div style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">Lord, have mercy on my son: for he is lunatick, and sore vexed: for oft times he falleth into the fire, and oft into the water. Matthew 17: 22 And ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: (Mark 9:15)</span><br />

<span style="font-kerning: none;">As you will find in the scripture, the disciples asked this question… Why could not we cast him out? Jesus responded and said... This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting and in Matthew Jesus</span></div>

<span style="font-kerning: none;">responded and said “Because of your unbelief 28 And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, why could not we cast him out? If they asked, it meant that they wanted to cast the demon out of the little child. It also shows us that they asked him privately as I am sure it was rather embarrassing to not be able to complete the task at hand and to remind you, it was public. People were standing around to witness a miracle only not to see one…until Jesus came by! Glory to God! As you will also see below, we have to be in position to be able to perform the same works that Jesus performed while on earth. We don’t want to be embarrassed or unsuccessful as these men were.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal; min-height: 17px;">

<span style="font-kerning: none;">Read below:</span></div>
<div style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">11 And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul: </span></div>
<div style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">12 So that from his body were brought unto the sick handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">13 Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcists, took upon them to call over them which had evil spirits the name of the LORD Jesus, saying, We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">14 And there were seven sons of one Sceva, a Jew, and chief of the priests, which did so. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">15And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye? </span></div>
<div style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">16 And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: helvetica; font-size: 14px; line-height: normal;">
<span style="font-kerning: none;">17 And this was known to all the Jews and Greeks also dwelling at Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified. (Scripture reference)</span></div>

Did you know when you <strong>FINISH</strong> things, it sets you up for the blessings of God to overtake you!<br />
<br />
Ever wondered why many believers (many) times are not able to reap the harvest that they set out to reap. Have you ever wondered why many believers have been able to tap into the Supernatural Manifestation that awaits them.<br />
<br />
I'm sure if we look and search deep within we would honestly say that many of us haven't because at some point and time we stopped along the way.<br />
<br />
Lets us try to make a better commitment (as unto the Lord) that whatever he tells or instruct us to do we will see it through.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"><o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Imagine what
potential awaits you on the other side of “YOUR FINISH”.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Finishing shouldn’t
only be a fasting principle that we apply, yet a principal we apply to every
aspect of our life to which we put our hands. Many Mom’s say this to their children
and I certainly have said this many times in the Scott Household, “Start what you
finish!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"><o:p> </o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">As mentioned
earlier in the book, we can look at the life of Jesus Christ and how he was
indeed a finisher.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"><o:p> </o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">His entire
assignment was predicated upon his completion as the cross. Imagine where we
would be had he not finished.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">I
believe in many cases we miss out on blessings because we have not completed
nor have we finished the task the Lord has instructed us to complete. There can
be things left undone or incomplete from another season, and we are trying to
move on or operate on a higher level when we have not completed things of old.
This also can happen with things in the spirit realm.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Often times we are trying to enter into a
higher level in the spirit that we are not authorized to go because we haven’t
been able to complete or finish other assignments <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">on our current level.</i> <o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"><o:p></o:p></span> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">This can come from
not finishing the things that God has instructed us to complete.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"><o:p> </o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">The word of God
says…. Faithful over the few God will make you ruler over much. The fast you
don’t finish could be the fast that will bring healing, deliverance, provision,
protection, salvation to others and so on.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">You will not be
able to testify about something you haven’t experienced IF you stop. You see,
finishing is so important, and without finishing a thing, things are left
undone and this can be hazardous and even dangerous to others. Imagine how
things would be if God stopped while he was in the midst of creation.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"><o:p> </o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">God is a God who
finish what he starts! I mentioned this in the book, but in other words, imagine
if Daniel would have stopped his fast on day 19, the revelation would have not
been released. This clearly shows us that there are times when things are not
released (Until) we complete the task at hand.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"><o:p> </o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Think about things
in your life that God told you to do but you didn’t complete them, finish it or
you gave up. I am not trying to cause you to feel bad, but we have to
understand God desires us to operate in the same order that he does, and if he
is a God that completes what he set out to do how much more should we…. Being
children of God we are joint heirs… We are created in his image. Things are not
birthed when we don’t complete what God has given us! Imagine all of the homes
that have been built, the cars that have been made. Now think about this.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What if the builder stops mid-way? <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Read Luke

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Oh how our Heavenly
Father got on me! This was a few months before this book was finally completed.
I had started writing and it was such a struggle to get it completed. I was
standing in my kitchen and he spoke in my spirit soooo STRONG, he said “Lenika,
this is an END TIME BOOK”. I knew I had to start prioritizing and get this book
completed as soon as possible. Had I not finished, you would not be reading….</span><br />

Take a closer look at one of the definitions, <i>forfeiture of something highly valued for the sake of one considered to
have a greater value or claim.</i> As you know, we need food to survive because
food is such an important part of the process of life! During fasting, the
sacrifice comes when we give up the food that we normally consume on a daily or
a consistent basis. Food that we can do without, but because of our bodies
craving it makes it that much more difficult to ignore the urge to eat what we
desire. Generally, when we fast whether it is a Daniel Fast or a Fast during a
few hours (even if we partake) in some sort of food, we don’t eat things such
as sweets or meats or foods that are good to the flesh, <i>otherwise it wouldn’t be a fast</i>. “Hence the Sacrifice” because we
have a specific end in mind and that specific end is the reason why we are
fasting! It is so easier said than done and especially while reading this
portion of the book you may feel like you have the power to partake in a 21 Day
Fast even a 40 Day Fast! Then someone invite you out for lunch or dinner, or
you go over someone’s home and the kitchen is full of aromas and cooking some
of the food you can’t have. You then realize you are on a fast and not
everything is a “Free for all.” You get my point. Oh, Yes! You better be
reminded that with fasting comes “Great Sacrifice”! However, also be reminded
that with great sacrifice comes great reward and breakthrough!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

decision! You make a decision that you are going to fast or you make a decision
you are not. It is a personal choice! It is a personal decision! Just as
Salvation is a personal decision, fasting is as well. For those who may partake
in a corporate fast meaning you may be asked to fast without initiating it
yourself. It still is a personal choice even if you decide to partake in it on
a Corporate Level! One thing I have learned about decisions is this, one great
decision can change the course or direction of your life just as one bad
decision can do the same. Deciding to yield yourself through not only fasting
but also the yielding yourself to the process of carrying the fast out is so
rewarding! <b><i>Many of you are Fasting because you really need a mighty move of God
and you are seeking Breakthrough in one specific area or different areas of
your life.<br />
</i></b><br />
Again, you have to be specific about the end result, yet mindful that
your main focus is not on "The Breakthrough" you are
seeking yet your main focus will be on developing a deeper and more
intimate relationship with the father while also keeping your heart
pure before him.</span><br />

As I studied the definition on Breakthrough, the word <b><i>enemy</i></b>
leaped off the page. <i>Refer back to the
definition as reference point</i>. When I think about the word <b>Enemy</b>
what comes to mind is someone or something that may be harmful to us or
cause us harm whether they are trying or not. Fasting will cause our enemy's to
be put under subjection allowing us to move free, & unhindered while
we enter into a place where stagnation doesn't remain. As you continue to yield
yourself through fasting and praying, identify the enemy or enemies in your
life. These enemies can be in the natural or in the spiritual. It is also wise
to pray and ask God to expose enemies who may be lurking (unexposed) due to
some hidden or secret attacks to get you off course.<i><o:p></o:p></i></span></div>

When David cried out to the Lord in Psalm 35 not only was he fighting a
spiritual battle he was also contending with those who did not have his best interest
at heart (Natural People) whether they were being used by spiritual wickedness
or the ungodly desires of their own heart they were still enemies.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

your way or no way?</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">-Are you often stressed?</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">-Do you find yourself giving more
criticisms than compliments?</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">-Are you quick to judge other people on
first appearances?</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">-Are you usually more concerned with your
needs and wants than the needs of
people who surround you?</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">-If someone has hurt you or done you wrong
in the past, do you hold bitterness and resentment against that person?</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">-Do you seek praise for things over which
you have no control (beauty, talents, and abilities) Do you feel offended
or not appreciated when not given credit for something you have done?</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">-Do you often compete or compare yourself
with someone else? -Are you always trying to do better or have more than
some other particular person?</span><br />
<span style="background: white;">-Do you neglect seeking the help of God in
Scripture and prayer and seeking the help of others in Christian
accountability and community?</span><br />

favorite. Ex., “that is my favorite student! That is my favorite teacher! That
is my favorite friend!”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">This insinuates
there is a difference, and sometimes it can’t be explained in words. My
personal belief is that people can say what they want about favor, but there is
a price to pay to have favor smeared on your life and that price is Obedience!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">I am reminded of
the story of Joseph, and although I am not going to go into detail here, it was
undoubtedly so that favor rested upon his life. However, even in the midst of
the favor resting upon him he had to pay a tremendous price on order for others
to realize it was there. Many believers
(to me) aren’t willing to pay such a price.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Another Biblical
example of Favor was Esther. Esther received royal favor above all the other
virgins (Esther 2:17), and the king loved Esther <b><i>above all</i></b> the women, and
she obtained grace and favour in his sight more than all the virgins; so that
he set the royal crown upon her head and made her queen instead of Vashti.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">How<b> favor and fasting</b> connects is this.
When a person fasts they get Gods attention, and that individual begins to do
things that will naturally please the Lord. In doing so, it is like a breath of
fresh air being sent up to heaven in the nostrils of God. He then in turn
begins to reciprocate the same but in ways that will now allow others to grant
you attention, access and all sorts of blessings will follow.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">However, favor is
not always used in a comparative way toward others. It sometimes simply means
that the one favored is shown kindness and treated with a generosity and
goodwill far beyond what would normally be expected. This is generally the
favor that we receive from the Lord. We are treated much better than we could
expect. Of course, every believer is favored to some degree. Therefore, we must
understand God’s favor in degrees. The more we please God, the more we will be
favored by Him. Also, it is important not to think of this favor in material or
worldly terms. God’s favor, most likely, will be given in spiritual blessings
more than in material blessings.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Elvia is
a good friend of mine, and we connected in the area of entrepreneurship. One
day we were on the phone, and she shared with me a story about Angels. A few
weeks before the book was to be released, I reached out to a few people to
stand with me in prayer. Elvia was one of them. I reached out to a few people
who I knew would pray for me but also pray with me with a pure heart. The next
day she and I talked, and while talking I realized that she had shared the
story with me some time ago regarding the angels she had seen in the spirit,
and I knew I had to share her glorious experience!<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">The
first Angels she saw were in her home! She saw Angels at her door! She also saw
them at her son and daughters windows and near the kitchen door. She saw a lot
of light. She said they were tall. She stated that one of the Angels had a NET
in his hand while the others had SWORDS. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">When she
asked for revelations concerning the nets, the Lord instructed her that they
were protecting the kids’ dreams. The Angels she saw standing in the living
room carrying the swords were there to keep the enemy from gaining entrance
into the home.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Angels
aid and help with healing, deliverance, miracles, blessings, harvest, and even
judgment against your enemies. Angels assist with breakthrough as well, and
since this book is about fasting for breakthrough, prayerfully some of the
stories you hear will serve as encouragement to understand when you do tap into
levels of prayer and fasting angels are released on your behalf and
breakthroughs are released and experienced!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">She also
mentioned that she once saw an Angel standing in the center of the church they
attended, and the Angel also had a Sword. The Angel was tall & very
beautiful, extremely bright and peaceful.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<div style="padding: 0px;">
<span style="color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 16px;"> </span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 16px;"> Lenika Scott, is an extraordinarily author that has been known to push you to excel beyond your personal limits. Those limits can only be found in the presence of God. This book helps you to get there through fasting. Excellent and very thought provoking. I recommend this book to those who are on that roller-coaster ride to carrying out their Spiritual purpose and have tried to fast only to get off the roller-coaster because of discouragement. Several chapters are particularly detailed for our single sisters and women in waiting. This book magnifies those things and or people we allow to hinder our journey and re-directs our path right back to the Father. It stresses the importance of staying focused, staying spiritually connected to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and the blessings of a 21 day journey, coming from a woman that has surpassed onto the 22nd day and now living in today's favor. Read it and pass it on to bless another person's life. You will not want to put it down!</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">Fasting has truly been an awesome experience for me. I have
participated in various fasts, but I would like to share the one that stands out
in my spirit. For a few months, I could feel that there was a time of fasting
set for me. I knew that it would be a brief fast, but as we sometimes do, I
waited for confirmation and direction for the fast. So many things seemed
important at the moment, so I truly did not know what focus my fast would have.
After speaking to one of my dear sisters in the Lord, she confirmed the fast.
She spoke of three days, which was right in line with the brief fast I felt in
my spirit. As I embarked upon the fast the first day, I awoke at exactly 3:33am
the next morning! It was confirmation! I was on the right path. The
following night I had an awesome experience. Many times, God speaks to me in
night visions and dreams. This night seemed to be going in the same direction,
but very differently. I could actually hear angels speaking over me in my sleep
- two angels to be exact! They were speaking about me, and I could hear
them! They spoke of the authority God had given to me. They spoke of a
divine authority and spoke that my mind would line up with what God has
spoken concerning me. Then I could feel one of the angels lay a white feathery
cloth on my face! I immediately woke up! I know that God allowed me to tap into
a realm of glory I had not been in before. I also believe that God desired to
use these angelic beings to get a message through to me! Just as Daniel was
given a message from God by an angel, so had I. I praise God that this fast was
a door ordained for me. It truly opened the doors of the supernatural power of
God in my life, and I received manna from on high that has confirmed and
changed my perspective FOREVER. I believe God-ordained fasting can truly unlock
divine mysteries for us. As in Daniel's day, angels are among us.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">It was a
women’s group that God had laid on my heart, and it was four months away that
we were going to have the women’s conference. There had been some people
connected to it that had just kind of come in by third party invitation or
their own invitation. In the midst of it, there started to be a lot of strife
and division and just roadblocks coming up. In prayer the Lord showed me there
was some Jezebel spirits operating. There were four in particular, and they
needed to be removed. He showed me to do a twenty-one-day Daniel fast. I
started the fast and in twenty-two days, the day after the fast ended, was when
we were going to have our next meeting together to do some planning. Immediately
after starting the fast which was (2-3 days), that I had one of the ladies call
and drop off the team. I continued the fast, and every week thereafter, one of
the four ladies dropped off the team. Before we even had our meeting, the day
before my fast was over, two days before the meeting all four of the people
that God revealed to me that were causing the strife and the division dealing
with the Jezebel spirit against us had <i>all
left the team</i>. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">I have
seen some of the biggest breakthroughs in my life because of fasting. One of
the first fasts I had ever done was a seven-day fast the week of Passover, and
He stressed to me that leaven, just a little bit, will spoil the whole batch. I
fasted anything that had to do with leaven and for me that was huge because I’m
a big bread eater. He also stressed what I watched and what went in my ear
gates. I was not to watch anything on TV or listen to anything that did not
edify the Lord. At that time, I watched a lot of TV just as a family, and I
didn’t realize how much I was feeding myself that wasn’t very good. During
those seven days was probably one of the biggest breakthroughs. He had actually
told me, “Name what you want.” I didn’t understand at first, but when I did
that fast, my ministry was something that I really wanted to take off and my
marriage (my husband wasn’t a believer at the time) was on very shaky ground
and our finances were in absolute turmoil. During the fast, I did sow a seed,
and I believed the fast and the seed I sowed for this ministry, for my
husband’s salvation and for our marriage and our finances. Within three months,
my husband had given his life to the Lord, our finances were increased
tremendously (there was a huge raise given), and my ministry took off
unbelievably.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

pineth away: and I spake to thy disciples that they should cast him out; and they
could not. 19He answereth him, and saith, O faithless generation, how long
shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto me. 20And they
brought him unto him: and when he saw him, straightway the spirit tare him; and
he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming. 21And he asked his father, How
long is it ago since this came unto him? And he said, Of a child. 22And
ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him:
but if thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us. 23Jesus
said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that</span></i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"> <i>believeth. 24And straightway the father of the child cried out, and
said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief. 25When Jesus saw
that the people came running together, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto
him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter no
more into him. 26And the spirit cried, and rent him sore, and came out of him:
and he was as one dead; insomuch that many said, He is dead. 27But Jesus took
him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose. 28And when he was come into

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">What this
demonstrated to me is that Jesus lived a life of not only prayer but also
fasting. He was able to cast the demon out of this child but the disciples were
not (at that time).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">This also brings me
to another point. Deliverance ministry is not for everyone. <i>And these signs shall follow them that
believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new
tongues; <b>Mark 16:17</b></i><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Matthew 16:17
clearly show us the different signs that shall follow believers, but many times
we are not living according to the word of God where we are keeping ourselves
clean and pure before the Lord. We are not studying and reading the word as
well as fasting and praying, and we are not in any kind of position to cast a
demon out of anybody.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Think about this,
if the disciples who closely followed Christ could not cast the spirit out of
this child, how much more should we examine our personal walk with the Lord?
Are we praying? Are we fasting? Are we spending time with God allowing the
anointing to saturate our life? Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word
of God. It also takes faith to cancel
out doubt and unbelief, and Jesus made a statement when he said…<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Oh faithless generation, how long
shall I be with you? How long shall I suffer you? Bring him unto me. <b>Mark 9:19</b><o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Was it their faith
or the lack thereof? This is one of the reasons I sincerely believe we must be
ready at all times. There is a sinful world out there, and God has commissioned
us to minister the gospel of Jesus Christ. In order for us to be as effective
as our Savior was as he walked the earth, we have to come up higher. Not only
was He given authority and power but He was also given revelation as to the
kind of spirit with which He was contending.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">You may be in a
predicament where you don’t have time to go on a twenty-one day fast. You may
not have time to go on a three day fast, but if your lifestyle is one filled
with fasting and prayer, that won’t matter. There will be times where you will
not be able to say, “Wait a minute; stand right there, and I will be back. I’ve
got to go on a fast and seek God about this.”
Someone will need and depend on you to be READY for war! Just as it was
with Jesus on that day when this little child was delivered, He was ready!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Think about this; I
mean really think about this! If Jesus wasn’t there on that day a child would
not have been delivered, and neither would a precious father who had been
seeking healing for his child. Can you imagine the torment that was taking place in the home of that child? Although it
is mentioned that his father came seeking healing, can you also wonder if this
child’s mother was still alive? More than likely, the mother and father were
still together. I am sure this affected the entire household to have a child
with problems like this. Yes, the problems were caused by an evil spirit, but
these were SERIOUS issues to deal with. I am sure his parents were going
through a lot dealing with mental torment themselves. What if there were other
siblings in the home? If so, were they
frightened to allow this child to be around the other children? Were they
worried that the child would hurt the other siblings? Even if there were no
other siblings, a normal childhood was out of the question. More than likely
the neighbors didn’t want him interacting with their children either.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Many times when we
read the word of God we have to realize that ALL of the details are not
mentioned. The stories were real, and these were authentic people to whom Jesus
was bringing hope. Real lives were being affected, and, had it not been for our
precious Savior this child would not have received his miracle on that day -
not only the child, but the entire household and even the community. It’s so
important for us to be on post! We must be ready at all times to be about our
Father’s business! <i>Lord, have mercy on my
son: for he is lunatick, and sore vexed: for oft times he falleth into the
fire, and oft into the water. Matthew 17: 22And ofttimes it hath cast him into
the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: <b>Mark 9:15</b><o:p></o:p></i></span></div>

doctrine has caused many believers to be
lost. Please allow us to review a few passages of scriptures that will shed

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">Yes,
Jesus Christ died for our sins that we might have the gift of eternal life, but
why would there be sections in the bible with the words, “back sliding” or
“return to me” if the once saved always saved doctrine were true.</span></div>

would there be scriptures that make a reference to names being written in the

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">That is
why repentance is so important because if a person finds himself or herself in
sin and it is a continual sin where they have not repented before the Lord,
this can be a dangerous thing if they continue on in sin and lose their life
(before repentance). They could also lose their salvation because they died in
their sin. Many churches don’t minister or preach on this but this is
scripture, and this is true.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">I have
read and watched many speak of them being taken to hell (by the grace of God),
and there were souls in hell of people who were backslidden believers. In other

and they ended up in hell.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

</b>that <b>overcometh,</b> the same shall
be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life, but I will
confess his name before my Father, and before his angels." We overcome by
our faith which is exhibited by faithfulness.<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Rev.20:12-15: "</span></i></b><i> </i><i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Then I saw a great white throne
and him who was seated on it. Earth and sky fled from his presence, and there
was no place for them.</span> </i><i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">And I saw the dead, <b>small </b>and
great, stand before God; and the <strong>books
were opened</strong>: and
another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were
judged out of those things which were <u>written in the books,</u> a<u>ccording
to their works.</u> And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death
and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every
man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of
fire. This is the second death.
And whosoever was not found written in
the book of life was cast into the lake of fire."<o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div style="text-indent: 0in;">
<b><i>Exod.

Moses, "Whoever has sinned against Me, I will blot him out of My
book." <o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div style="text-indent: 0in;">
If one dies without forgiveness of their sins their
name vanishes out of the record book of life. God is the judge of this as his
scale is very different from ours. There are times when grace is released over a
person and they may have time to get it right before death, but why gamble with
something as precious as a soul.<o:p></o:p></div>

Scripture says, For the needy shall not always be forgotten; The expectation of
the poor shall not perish forever. So Father, accept me once again into Your
fold. Father God, Help me so that I do not fall to any temptation, nor depart

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Fasting helps
produce faith. Every aspect of our life as a believer is based upon our faith
and our trust in the Lord. When we fast it releases our, and it allows us to receive
and tap into the promises that have been made available according to God’s
word. Fasting also breaks and destroys the power of unbelief (Remember -
Chapter 5 goes into detail).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">When we fast we are
releasing our faith! How? Because we may
or may not get the answers we are seeking for so we are operating in
faith! It takes a person to operate <i>in faith</i> and expect a breakthrough that
doesn’t appear to be in reach! It takes a person to operate <i>in faith</i> to trust and believe God for a
healing when the doctors say otherwise! It takes a person to operate <i>in faith</i> when God tells an individual to stay in a marriage where
it seems as if all hope is gone! Without faith it is impossible to please God.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Many of us need our
faith activated in order to believe God and what he has declared in his word.
Fasting HELPS release faith! We have endured much suffering, and we tend to
think it will always be this way. I will never receive my breakthrough, or I
will never walk in the promises that God has for me. When our faith is shaken
and tested and tried on every end we must still grab hold to the ounce that may
be left within and trust in The Lord to see us through. As we fast, God will
bring healing to our hearts and renew our faith and trust in him so that we
will be able to not only receive his promises but also not walk in doubt.
Everything we receive from the Lord requires faith in order for us to possess
it. Since this book is on fasting for breakthrough our faith sets the precedent
for everything to be built upon as we trust God to release answers to prayers
that which we desire.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Faith builds
belief, and belief is very important! It is important because in order for us
to understand that we can have more, do more, accomplish more, tap into the
destiny, plans and purpose that awaits us, we must believe first that we can.
What we think on we will ultimately attract. The more we believe we can obtain
the promises of God according to the word of God, the more we will be able to
obtain them. No matter what it is, his word is final, and IF things regarding you
are looking differently from what is outlined in the word you must stand firm
and believe him for a turn-a-round. If his words states, “But without faith it
is impossible to please him:” we can certainly draw the conclusion that doubt
and unbelief doesn’t please the father.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">11 So I sware in my wrath, They
shall not enter into my rest. 12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of
you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. 13 But exhort
one another daily, while it is called Today; lest any of you be hardened

hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast unto the end; 15 While it is
said, Today if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the
provocation.16 For some, when they had heard, did provoke: howbeit not all that
came out of Egypt by Moses.17 But with whom was he grieved forty years? was it
not with them that had sinned, whose carcases fell in the wilderness? 18 And to
whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that <b>believed not</b>? 19 <u>So we see that they
could not enter in because of unbelief</u>. <b>Hebrews 3 11-19</b><o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">If you didn’t read <b>“The Faith Scriptures” verses 1-40,</b> I
want you to go back and highlight the verses in your bible where individuals
operated in such a GREAT amount of Faith. Let us examine one person. Think
about Noah! Now that REALLY took a great amount of Faith! Not only so, but I know while he was building
that ark, his mind was playing tricks on him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">“God I am hearing
you correctly?” “God did you really tell me to do this?” “God do I have to do this
right now?” Etc. etc... etc…<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">I am sure he was
hearing all kinds of voices. Let alone, he had to deal with the naysayers,
those are the folk that often talk against what God has told you to do! Oh yes! There are people that are quick to
say, “God didn’t tell sister/brother so and so do to that.” What we have to remember is this. For the most
part, no one will fast or pray on your behalf more than you so we must be
careful not to speak against what we haven’t prayed or even fasted about for
that matter.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">I’m sure Noah
experienced much mockery, persecution, and was even scorned but he had to obey
God! Just think; he had to deal with a
level of unbelief. According to biblical scholars it states that it took one
hundred and twenty years to build the ark. That alone is enough time to have to
deal with the opinions of others. However, I am sure at some point and time the
more he obeyed and yielded to the process of obedience that the task at hand
became more easier to yield to.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">This is a
sidebar... God revealed this to me the other day, and I want you to think about
something. God saved MORE Animals than
he did HUMANS! God wasn’t playing; He spoke, and he held up his end of the
bargain when he made a covenant with Noah that he would save his family! They
were saved because of the obedience of one Man!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

aid and help with healing, deliverance, miracles, blessings, harvest, and even
judgment against your enemies. Angels assist with breakthrough as well, and
since this blog is about fasting for breakthrough, prayerfully some of the
stories you hear will serve as encouragement to understand when you do tap into
levels of prayer and fasting angels are released on your behalf and
breakthroughs are released and experienced! For those of you who are trusting God for answers to prayers trust and believe that God has released angels on your behalf to help with your prayers! I wanted to share this story with you regarding my baby girl Jordan.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><b><i><span style="font-size: large;">My
daughter Jordan saw four angels standing beside me! </span></i></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">This happened once while I
was in prayer. During the time, the only people who were home were my youngest
daughter Jordan (who was at the time 4 years old). I was in the middle of the
walkway kneeling before the Lord in prayer, and though I did not see any
Angels, I felt the presence of them. During a point in the prayer, Jordan came
over and knelt down with me. After I got up and finished praying, I asked
Jordan did she see any Angels, and she smiled and said, “Yes Mommy,” there were
four Angels standing around you while you were praying! Glory be to God!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">She has always been an </span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">anointed child of God, and she started making references to angels early on. This
is our youngest daughter, and we realized what she was saying was true I
really believe by the spirit of the Lord that she has not only seen angels, but
God has allowed her on a couple of occasions to see heaven because there have
been times when she has told me that she has seen Jesus. One time, it was
around the same time we had lost her granddaddy, my husband’s father my
father-in-law, that she said that she saw Jesus. I asked her what he had on and
she said white. When she said it, I felt the sweetest presence. One time she
said, “The angels took me to a place and it was very clean there.” She even
mentioned seeing some very beautiful flowers. I share this with you because
sometimes when we have anointed children we need to listen to what they are
saying. She also would say that the angels would protect her, and when she saw
a monster, she saw three angels there. She said how the angels would smile. She
would refer to the angels being in different place in our home ex in front of the doors or windows. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">I share this again because angels are sent on
assignment. They are messengers of God. We are not to pray to them, but
definitely, we pray to God and ask God to release the holy angels to help, to
aid and also to protect and assist us. Just as an angel came to strengthen our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ right before he was to go to the cross, he will send them on your behalf when you call upon him with a pure heart.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">I have
read and heard of countless stories and testimonies of others that were healed
after they forgave the person who had wronged them. In fact, some of the
testimony’s of healing came as the person was being ministered to. After the
minister asked them to forgive, and that person forgave, God was able to come
in an instantly bring manifestation to that person! How amazing is that?
Unforgiveness hurts you; it can cause illness and sickness in the body and all
kinds of disease in the body to manifest. I have heard and read of many
accounts where someone had been praying for a healing in their body and when
asked the question about unforgiveness, they would say, “Yes. So and so,” and
then after they forgave that person they would be healed.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">When we
do not forgive, we remit sins in our body. In other words, to a certain degree we
hold someone else (sin) hostage in our bodies. It may sound weird but it is so.
Have you ever noticed (many) women suffer a great deal of sickness in the
abdomen area. The abdomen area is also the center of “The Emotions.” If many
women who have suffered a great deal of pain in this area trace back what they
will discover is that many of them were inflicted in some way by a male who
took advantage of them or there was sin of some sort inflicted upon them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">No
matter how much we think it is going to change it is not. Personally, I do
believe God can come in and heal emotional scars that are so attached to the
event that took place in your life to the point where it will feel like you didn't experience it but for the most part, memories will be there.
Unforgiveness can cause a huge blockage from receiving breakthroughs,
Forgiveness is not for the other person </span><i style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">the
person</i><span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"> who committed the wrong but it is for you. False Expectations and
trust in many can cause such a blow when we put our faith and trust in man and
they let us down. Don’t get me wrong, we should be faithful, we should be
committed we shouldn't abuse, misuse, mistreat, harm, hurt, kill others (even
with our words) reject others but beloved we aren’t perfect. The same measure
we want others to forgive us when we have wronged someone knowingly or
unknowingly should be to the same degree we should long to forgive our
offenders.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

those we love the most are the ones who often wound us the most! Why? Because
we are also most vulnerable to them. These include our spouses, our parents,
children, siblings, relatives, in-laws, friends, pastors, co-workers, teachers,
coaches. We love them deeply, and as soon as one of them wrongs us
intentionally or unintentionally, in many ways, the wounds go very deep. They
may not be aware that they have caused a wound of some sort and the wound may even
cut to the core. Many times, it is spiritual and we have to look at things from
a spiritual standpoint for many of the battles we face with others are
spiritual battles. The enemy has used this and will continue to use our
emotions to draw wedges between our relationships. Many of the battles we face,
be it those who we love most or those who we rarely know, are not “fleshy
battles.” In other words, there is a spirit behind the individual that may
cause you to get upset with the person. We serve a God that can heal every
scar, every wound, every hurt associated with the pain and memory.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

when we don’t forgive you can’t answer our prayers. Lord, I need your divine and
supernatural help to forgive (the person name here). I have been walking around

importantly Lord I forgive them for what they did to me and I give you the
permission to clean my heart of all the pain associated with this person. God
come in and heal the wounds directly connected to this scar. I ask you Holy

example, a lie will easily yield another lie. Another example is if someone
does wrong to you and you do not deal with it, it can turn into unforgiveness,
which can in turn cause you to sin in other areas such as bitterness, hate and
anger. “I would not have sinned (IF)”! There is cause and effect in the spirit
realm. Sin does beget Sin. For example, if a drunk driver kills someone’s child
this could create a situation for the parents of the child to start harvesting
feelings of anger and bitterness. Whereas, before this occurred they may not
have been angry or bitter individuals. If not properly dealt with that anger
and bitterness can turn into sin, therefore blockages can occur. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">That is
why it is imperative that we fill our lives with fasting and prayer and time
spent in the word of God. Fasting and Prayer allows us to release things to God
and in turn cleansing takes place.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">When you partake in
a fast, you become open to areas of sin in your life. You become sin conscious
or your spirit is so sensitive that it begins to reject the sinful nature, and
thereby repentance comes forth very easy. Fasting will break down walls of
hardness around your heart that will keep you from repenting. You realize what
you did was wrong. Doing things contrary
to the will of God leads to the way of destruction; it also harms others, and
it is harmful to you. To repent is to reject sin. In other words, “You love what God loves and
hate what he hates”. You turn from the things that are not pleasing unto him
and you focus your attention on that which pleases the Father. Since fasting
opens you up and make you more sensitive to God’s Holy Nature you begin to even
“dislike” walking in sin.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">The dangerous thing
about (not) living a lifestyle of fasting and prayer is this… sometimes you may
not be aware of the sin to which you have fallen prey. It is like someone who
does something that is wrong and during the beginning stages they are aware of
their wrong doing, they don’t like how it made them feel, they don’t want any
parts of it and they even ask for forgiveness, but the “it” just continues to
happen and then it becomes comfortable to them and they remain in that state
not realizing they NOW are in sin.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Has this ever
happened to you? I’m sure if we were all honest, we would say YES, this has
happened at some point in time with our walk with The Lord. Just don’t stay
there! That’s the danger.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">That again, is
another reason why fasting laced with prayer is so important to our souls
because we don’t want to find ourselves going down the road to destruction and
not even realize it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">So it is imperative
that we stay in a place of repentance and confession before the Lord.
Confession is very important as it relates to repentance. As God reveals the
sin or iniquity of things that need to be repented from, be quick to do so!
Remember fasting allows our spirit-man to “Wake Up” and our ears to “Perk Up”
in the spirit realm, and we hear him a lot easier. When we are fasting, many times God will
bring things to our attention and areas of our life of which we have not
repented and confessed.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Even when a person
is born again, confession is an important part of the salvation process. <i>With the heart man believes unto
righteousness, but salvation is made through confession. <b>Romans 10:10</b></i><b><o:p></o:p></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">

<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: center;">
<i><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">8If we say that we have not sin,
we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9If we confess our sins, he
is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
10If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in
us.<b>1 John 1:8-10</b><o:p></o:p></span></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">This scripture
sheds light on the importance of Fasting and Repentance and you can’t partake
in a fast unless you also go through Repentance. I personally believe if you
are fasting and if repentance is not a part of that fast you have to check your
motives concerning the fast. Moreover, I also don’t want to send a mixed
message because every fast of which you partake is not specifically a fast of
purity wherein you are intentionally fasting with a focus on getting clean
before the Lord. My main point is this, when you fast make sure you are also
bringing any sin before the Lord just as it is written in Isaiah 58!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

ask of me the ordinances of justice; they take delight in approaching to God. 3
Wherefore have we fasted, say they, and thou seest not? wherefore have we afflicted

such a fast that I have chosen? a day for a man to afflict his soul? is it to
bow down his head as a bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him?
wilt thou call this a fast, and an acceptable day to the LORD? 6 Is not this
the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the
heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?
7 Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that
are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and
that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh? 8 Then shall thy light break
forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy
righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the LORD shall be thy reward.
9 Then shalt thou call, and the LORD shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall
say, Here I am. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting
forth of the finger, and speaking vanity; 10 And if thou draw out thy soul to
the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in
obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noon day: 11 And the LORD shall guide
thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and
thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters
fail not. 12 And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places:
thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be
called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in. 13 If
thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy
day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the LORD, honourable; and
shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, nor
speaking thine own words: 14 Then shalt thou delight thyself in the LORD; and I
will cause thee to ride upon the high places of the earth, and feed thee with
the heritage of Jacob thy father: for the mouth of the LORD hat spoken it. <b>Isaiah 58</b><o:p></o:p></i></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Repentance and
Fasting goes hand in hand because it allows us to see how fragile we are
without God. It is only thru his help we can live a life free of Sin. It brings
us to a place of true and pure humility before the Lord. When God instructs or
lead a person on a fast one of the first things he deals with is sin. Why? Because one thing that separates us from God
is sin and when we come before him, his desire is that there will indeed be a
connection. In order for us to be connected to God we must be clean. Our hands
and our hearts must be purified and clean before him. No matter of how many glory experiences we
have encountered with the Lord or how anointed we are or how many divine
visitations we have had, he is a Holy God and we have to acknowledge him as
such. Therefore purity comes before any of those things and is so important to
the Father. It pleases him when we are pure before him.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Therefore,
repentance is a continual process. Many times in life we endure different
trials and sad experiences that causes us to sin, and though it may be
unintentionally, it is still sin. For example, a person can lose a love one un-
expectantly and such a lost can cause a person to gravitate towards given into
fear. Now, every fleeting thought comes from a place of fear, if Gods word is
true (AND IT IS) and he instructs us to walk by faith, if that person makes
every decision from a place of fear, that person is living in sin. Sad but
true. Therefore, a cleansing needs to take place but not only so but
repentance!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">It could be the
effect of a spouse who has committed adultery and now the other spouse begins
to operate in a spirit of jealousy. Though the jealousy wasn’t there before the
spouse committed adultery, if the spouse who had to go through the pain of
betrayal and if the pain is not properly dealt with, this could open doors for
a spirit of jealousy to begin to run rampant. Again, sad but true! Now repentance
is needed on both ends.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">Many times <i>our situations</i> of repentance arise from
misfortunes in our lives, things that were sent to get us off track, get us off
focus with the plans the God given plans for our life. Hard Blows are what I
call them, but even during those times it still requires us to respond “The Godly
Way”! Our response has to be aligned with the Word of God! Again, that is why
it is imperative that our lives are so sold out to God and that we are living a
fasted and prayer life because God can come in “quickly” and start to remove
the hurt, pain, disappointment before we allow it to spread into other areas of
our lives or allow it to run deep hence causing us to sin.</span><br />

sound in the air? Can you feel Him calling you higher? Do you feel Him drawing you closer? Come up
higher my son, come up higher my daughter! Heaven is speaking, and there is a
clarion call to more fasting, praying, and spending time with the Lord so that
His work, His will and His plans can be established and manifested in the earth
realm.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">We have been
hearing this for some time now and we really are living in the last and evil
days. Scripture and prophecy are being fulfilled before our very eyes, and no

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif";">There is such a
need for the Body of Christ to walk in the same power and likeness that Jesus
and his disciples did while here on the earth. When He ascended into Heaven and
was seated at the right hand of the Father, the same power that He walked in
didn’t leave. On the contrary, that
power was released at Pentecost, and that power is still here today!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not
away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him
unto you. 8And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness,
and of judgment: 9 of sin, because they believe not on me; 10 of righteousness,
because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; 11 of judgment, because the
prince of this world is judged. 12I have yet many things to say unto you, but
ye cannot bear them now.13Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he
will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but
whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to
come.14He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it
unto you. <b>John 16 7-14</b> <o:p></o:p></span></i></div>

Savior yielded his life to prayer and fasting, how much more should we? Living
as a man in the flesh, who touched the lives of many as he came on the scene,
countless men and women were set free. When He ministered through his teaching,
deliverance went forth, when he walked past the demoniacs, they experienced
liberation. The power of God was able to follow Christ because He lived a
lifestyle that was pleasing unto the Father; one of obedience, prayer and
fasting.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

In other words what we see in the natural is a direct reflection of what has happened in the Spirit Realm or is happening in the Spirit Realm.</div>
<br />
While you are fasting continue to lay before the Lord your expected end. What do you want this fast to accomplish? Please be sure that your desires align according to the will of the Father. Write them down and journal them. Trust me, if your desires don't align according to the will of the Father some point in the fast they will. <img alt="Smile" height="19" src="http://gfx1.hotmail.com/mail/w4/pr04/ltr/emo/smile.gif" style="border-bottom-style: none; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; vertical-align: text-bottom;" title="Smile" width="19" /> Fasting allows our heart to become so soft and open to God. We also find ourselves becoming very humble before the Lord and yielding to his will, and eventually his will becomes our will.<br />
<br />
<strong>Be very specific</strong>.......<br />
<br />
Many of you are Fasting because you really need a mighty move from God and you are seeking Breakthrough in different areas of your life.<br />
<br />
Again, you have to be specific about the end result, yet mindful that your main focus is not on <br />
"The Breakthrough" you are seeking yet your main focus will be on developing a deeper and more intimate relationship with the father while also keeping your heart pure before him. <br />
<br />
Let us start by defining what Breakthrough Means.<br />

POWERFUL isn't it?<br />
<br />
My definition of Breakthrough pertaining to Spiritual Things is this...<br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<strong>When God Breaks You Through</strong>...<br />
<br />
Through What?<br />
<br />
What ever it is that is holding you back, whatever it is that is keeping you from walking in all he has for you or whatever it is that is keeping you from accomplishing that which God desires for you to accomplish.<br />
<br />
God desires to Break you through hindrances, dangerous mindsets, heart issues, wounds of the past, others peoples opinions, a troubled marriage, etc. This list can continue so no matter the struggle or trouble God can deliver.<br />
<br />
As I studied the definition on Breakthrough the word <strong><em>enemy</em></strong> leaped off the page. <span name="hotword" onclick="this.style.backgroundColor='#b5d5ff';return hotWord(this);" onmouseout="this.style.backgroundColor='transparent'" onmouseover="this.style.cursor='default'" style="background-color: transparent; cursor: default;">When I think about the word <strong>Enemy</strong> what comes to mind is someone or something that may be harmful to us or cause us harm. </span><span name="hotword" onclick="this.style.backgroundColor='#b5d5ff';return hotWord(this);" onmouseout="this.style.backgroundColor='transparent'" onmouseover="this.style.cursor='default'" style="background-color: transparent; cursor: default;">Fasting will cause our enemy's to be put under subjection allowing us to move free, & unhindered while we enter into a place where stagnation doesn't remain. As you continue to yield yourself through fasting and praying, identify the enemy or enemies in your life and understand that there is nothing too hard for God. He is a God of the Impossible.</span><br />
<br />
<strong>Jeremiah 32:17 (King James Version)</strong><br />
<span name="hotword" onclick="this.style.backgroundColor='#b5d5ff';return hotWord(this);" onmouseout="this.style.backgroundColor='transparent'" onmouseover="this.style.cursor='default'" style="background-color: transparent; cursor: default;"></span><br />

Earlier, I stated that most Breakthrough's occur in the Spirit before they manifest in the natural. It is very wise to seek God for insight if there are any hidden things that may be hindering your breakthrough from manifesting in the natural. Ask God these questions....<br />
<br />
What's holding me back?<br />
What's hindering me?<br />
What's stifling me?<br />

Keep these things before the Lord while you are fasting. Remember, the revelation that you receive about what could be hindering you from stepping into your breakthrough could be the vital insight you need to become free in the area you are seeking freedom.<br />

Fasting has MAJOR Health benefits, and has been proven to alter the lives of many who consistently partake in it. However, the focus of this site will not highlight Fasting Diets or Fasting for the purpose of Weight Loss. <br />

Spiritual Fasting is closely connected with Prayer and studying the word of God. As you study different Scriptures in the bible, you will find Prayer and Fasting goes hand in hand with one another.<br />
<br />
While you are on your Fast, set aside a time for Prayer and reading God's Word. Also there are a few things to consider.<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Identify what you desire to get out of the fast.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<ul>
<li>Be very Specific in prayer with what you what.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<ul>
<li>Don't give in or cave in to temptation. If you set out to Fast for 21 days, don't stop Fasting on day 20.</li>
</ul>
<br />
<ul>
<li>Lastly, enjoy your time with the Lord. Fasting brings about such a refreshing and renewal unlike anything I've ever experienced. Write down what the Holy Spirit is speaking while also journaling any experiences you may have during this time.</li>
</ul>
