By Faith: The Power of Prayer With Fasting | Part 1
What if your greatest battles could be won without lifting a finger? Today, we’re diving into a story that shows the incredible power of prayer and fasting. From King Jehoshaphat’s life in 2 Chronicles 20, we learn what it looks like to trust God completely in the face of overwhelming odds.
Jehoshaphat wasn’t perfect—he made serious mistakes, just like his ancestor King David. But what set him apart was his pattern of repentance and relentless pursuit of God. When three armies united to destroy his kingdom, Jehoshaphat didn’t rally his troops or draw up strategies. Instead, he led the people in prayer and fasting. He declared, “We don’t know what to do, but we’re looking to You.”
This simple yet profound prayer teaches us that faith isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about knowing where to turn when we don’t. It’s about shifting our focus from the size of our problems to the greatness of God’s promises.
In this sermon, we uncover five truths about prayer and fasting:
1. Faith is not just believing but actively seeking God.
2. Breakthroughs happen when we combine prayer with fasting.
3. Fasting increases our faith by drawing us closer to God.
4. Praise is powerful—it’s the key to victory in every season.
5. The same God who fought for Jehoshaphat is fighting for us today.
Science even backs it up! Research shows that prayer boosts mental clarity and combats dementia. Imagine what happens when we combine that with fasting—a spiritual discipline that ignites our faith and fuels breakthroughs.
This is your time to reset your perspective, seek God first, and experience His unmatched power in your life. Watch now and discover how prayer and fasting can change your life in 2025 and beyond.
