Top Highlights
“Until fasting is coupled with prayer and spiritual objectives, it’s not going to be very effective.” (Page 493)
“Stop trying to use God for your own ends. Stop that secret thing within your heart that says, ‘Well, if God does this and this for me, then I can go and do such-and-such.’ Don’t use God. That will hold up the whole parade. Instead say, ‘Lord, do this for me, only for one reason—that You bring me to the place where I will be guided by You, led by the Spirit of the Lord like a true son of God, walking on into all that You have for me.’” (Page 502)
“A fast is very significant because it links you so completely with the omnipotence of God.” (Page 506)
“How do we serve the purpose of God in this generation? We must do what God tells us to do and speak His word. The awareness of the word we have and the stewardship of it is growing on us. We will not build a denomination. That day is gone forever. We will speak the word of the Lord. We are not another regulated society, an organization of man concerned only about causing the members to adhere to a very restricted way of life. God has called us to be a prophetic community, to be sons of God led by the Spirit of the Lord. We are coming to the hour when we can say, ‘This is it. This is what God wants,’ and we follow it like a pillar of fire. We hear the word, and we are concerned that we have that word accurately.” (Page 678)
“I have chosen.’ They were fasting to get their own way, to get what they wanted.” (Page 506)
