“Nevertheless, when exercised with a pure heart and a right motive, fasting may provide us with a key to unlock doors where other keys have failed; a window opening up new horizons in the unseen world; a spiritual weapon of God’s providing, ‘mighty, to the pulling down of strongholds’ (8).”

“There is concern in the hearts of many for the recovery of apostolic power.  But how can we recover apostolic power while neglecting apostolic practice?  How can we expect the power to flow if we do not prepare the channels?  Fasting is a God-appointed means for the flowing of His grace and power that we can afford to neglect no longer (25-26).”

“It will be a fasting and praying Church that will hear the thrilling cry, ‘Behold, the Bridegroom!’ Tears shall then be wiped away, and the fast be followed by the feast at the marriage supper of the Lamb (26).”
