4.15.15 A Note from the Apostle’s Desk: Prayer & Fasting on 4.17.15

Hello Saints of God,

Greetings to you all in the matchless and powerful name of Jesus the Christ:  This Friday April 17, 2015 from 6am to 6pm let us enter into a corporate fast toghether (NO FOOD) and then come together from 6pm to 7pm for a time of corporate praying at KCM’s sanctuary.  We know that fasting is not a tool to twist the arm of God so that He will give you exactly what you want. Fasting has a spiritual purpose, and that purpose is to get your flesh out of the way so that the Spirit of God can move in your life. Fasting removes the barriers to communication with God and allows the spirit man to commune directly with the heavenly Father – without disturbance. When a person makes a determination to fast, they are making a determination to remove the obstacles in their life to total submission to the will of God. No wonder Satan is determined to eradicate this practice! Fasting tears down his strongholds. Fasting clears the way for our victory. Satan will do anything to prevent that.

In 2 Chronicles 20: 1-5 the Message Bible states “1  Some time later the Moabites and Ammonites, accompanied by Meunites, joined forces to make war on Jehoshaphat.
2  Jehoshaphat received this intelligence report: “A huge force is on its way from beyond the Dead Sea to fight you. There’s no time to waste—they’re already at Hazazon Tamar, the oasis of En Gedi.”  3  Shaken, Jehoshaphat prayed. He went to GOD for help and ordered a nationwide fast. 4  The country of Judah united in seeking GOD’s help—they came from all the cities of Judah to pray to GOD.

Whenever we face a severe crisis in life, we need either a way to escape the crisis or the inner strength and knowledge to conquer the crisis. But many times we have no means of escape and no clue how to deal with the emergency or predicament. It is then more than ever that we need the help of someone who has the power or resources to deliver us from the crisis. The crisis may be due to an accident, illness, death, a criminal act, war, a work related matter, or some failure on our part.

But no matter what crises we may face, there is wonderful news. There is Someone who has the power and resources to deliver us, Someone who can make a way for us to escape.
This Someone is God Himself. This is clearly seen in the story of the present Scripture.

2 Chronicles 20:27-28 (MSG) 
27  Jehoshaphat then led all the men of Judah and Jerusalem back to Jerusalem—an exuberant parade. GOD had given them joyful relief from their enemies!
28  They entered Jerusalem and came to The Temple of GOD with all the instruments of the band playing.

Unexpectedly and shockingly, Jehoshaphat faced the crisis of his life, that of an invasion by a coalition of three powerful nations. Standing all alone, the Southern Kingdom of Judah faced the distinct possibility that it would be utterly destroyed as a nation and taken over by foreigners. Only one hope for escape and deliverance existed. That hope was in the Lord and His mighty power.
I decree and declare that the enemy is defeated, and every KCM child of God is  released now. Let those who hold on to my breakthrough longer than they should be shaken until they release it right now into my hands. I command you Satan, to “cough it up,” spit it out, loose it, release it, and let it go, now! In Jesus’ name!

 

Let us all fast together Friday April 172015 from 6a – 6pm (NO FOOD). Then at 6pm let us all come together in the Sanctuary for prayer and confession of the WORD for our SPIRITUAL BREAKTHROUGH.
