“The church is about to enter a season of extraordinary manifestations of God’s glory.” Francis Frangipane (The Days of His Presence)

Primary Hebrew word in the Bible for Glory = Kabod (“ikabod” = “The Glory has departed”) = To be heavy, weighty

What attracts the weighty Presence or Glory of God?

Humility (God opposes the proud, gives grace to humble, 1 Peter 5:5) Unity (they were all in one accord, Acts 2:1) Culture of Honour (home town of Nazareth) Thankfulness (Psalm 100) Child-like faith Yieldedness, obedience (carrying Ark, 2 Sam. 6) whole-hearted passion (2 Sam. 6; 1 Chron. 16:9, Jer. 29:13) Hunger, desperation (crying out to God, fasting) What attracts His Manifest Presence?

What verse might be the greatest understatement in the Bible?

Luke 4:2 “…where for forty days He (Jesus) was tempted by the devil. He ate nothing during those days, and at the end of them He was hungry. ”

Fasting The Bible has much to say about it. In fact, fasting is mentioned over 70 times! Jesus assumed His disciples would fast

When you fast, not if you fast! Fasting was a regular part of Christian discipleship in the early church (Acts 13:2; 14:23) And it’s not just for Bible days, but NOW! Jesus said…

Fasting is fraught with Dangers Be on guard against the dangers of: Self-righteousness Legalism Spiritual pride and elitism Remember it was the legalistic Pharisees, who fasted twice a week (Luke 18:12), who killed Jesus.

Benefits of fasting and prayer (your Father will reward you – Matthew 6:18) Fasting is a spiritual discipline that softens your heart, sharpens your ear, exposes idols and addictions in your life, and restores you to your first love – Jesus! (Grace is promised to those who humble themselves, James 4:6)

More Benefits Fasting releases spiritual POWER for breakthroughs! (don’t be fooled. We are in a war!) - Spiritual principle: sacrifice unleashes power - After 40 days of fasting Jesus came out “in the power of the Holy Spirit” (Luke 4:14) - enhances our physical health – gets toxins out, boosts immune system and vitality

Different kinds of biblical fasts Absolute fast: no food, no water Examples: Moses – two 40 day fasts back to back Esther – 3 days (4:15-17) Saul at his conversion (Acts 9:9) Normal fast: water only – Jesus (“juice only” fast can be useful for those working) Partial fast: Daniel – vegetables/fruit Corporate fast: a nation or God’s people called to a fast: J Jonah 3:2; 2 Chron. 20; Ezra 8:21; Joel 2
