I want to share with you some of the open rewards that God wants to release when you fast.
First, He told me that fasting will break poverty from your life. Looking at Joel 2:15–16 (KJV), the people were poor and in such a famine that they couldn’t even bring an offering. But God said to “blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly.” After that fast, the threshing floor was full of wheat, the oil vats were overflowing, and they ate in plenty and were satisfied. The Lord brought great financial blessings to people who fasted and prayed. When fasting is a lifestyle, poverty won’t be!
God also said that health and healing would follow fasting. Of His chosen fast, God said, “Then your light shall break forth like the morning, your healing shall spring forth speedily…” (Isaiah 58:8, NKJV). Fasting humbles you and brings clarity, even allowing you to get unforgiveness and bitterness out of your heart.
Fasting additionally helps you overcome sexual addictions and demonic powers. In Matthew 17:21 (NKJV), Jesus said concerning that stubborn demon, “… this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.” Remember? Now, we don’t wrestle with flesh and blood. But there is a spirit behind sexual addiction and perversion. But fasting will break those strongholds!
