Bible Verse of The Day – 6-23-20

Matthew 17:21 (NKJV) 21 However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.”

Fasting and praying are very much required for bringing down strongholds, in our lives and in the lives of others.

When is the last time we fasted? Can we even remember? Maybe some have never ever fasted at all. But, that’s OK. It’s not too late to start.

Fasting is usually done when we really need to see some change. It is usually done when we are desperate for answers and have no other options.

But really, fasting should not only be done for ourselves and our own needs. It should be done on a wider scale.

Right now, the world is going crazy. Where are our morals? Just about anything goes here in America. What will we allow next?

Our countries have all gone downhill hugely. We, the church, must rise up and begin to take it back by force. We’re not talking about physical force, but by spiritual force.

Matthew 11:12 (NKJV) 12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.

Fasting and praying is the force that wins! It is the only thing that will work when the enemy has a hold or a grip on people or on a country so badly.

When the enemy feels he has the right to be doing what he’s doing and he has been given permission by the people, he won’t stop for anything.

But God and His authority will walk him right out that door as long as there are those who will line up with God and stand, not backing down! He will shut the enemy down.

He gave us the authority through Christ, His Son, to step on the enemy and keep him down.

Luke 10:19 (NKJV) 19 Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

We are in a place right now where if we don’t take a firm stand for what we believe, we could lose our freedom.

Let us stand together, through fasting and praying, for God’s will to be done in our world. For the lives of those that are so lost and who need to come to Him. For Godly men and women to be positioned and to stand at their posts, being in the right places at the right time.

Let us rise together in our hearts, through prayer and fasting, for such a deliverance for our countries today. Amen

Ephesians 6:13 (NKJV) 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
