    Contributed by David Owens on Jun 24, 2008
    based on 6 ratings
     | 5,973 views

    Prayer Keys - Fasting Series

    Contributed by Mark Stepherson on Oct 22, 2011
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,689 views

    Legalistic fasting is not a prayer key. It is just going hungry. Spiritual awareness that prompts us to pray may also prompt us to fast. May God make us more spiritually aware. May his spirit prompt us to pray, even to the point of forgetting to eat.

    Prayer Keys - Fasting by Mark Stepherson “But when you fast, put oil on you head and wash your face, so that it will not be obvious to men that you are fasting, but only to your Father, who is unseen; and your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.” Matthew 6:17-18 Did you ...read more
