Vital signs- Sunday, February 26th, 2023

In order to be powerful in spiritual warfare, we need the discipline of fasting. We know Moses fasted for 40 days. We know the story of Jesus. He fasted for 40 days and 40 nights in the wilderness. We know as soon as he was converted, the Apostle Paul fasted for three days. Even when Paul was shipwrecked out at sea, he fasted for 14 days. Fasting opens prison doors. If you are spiritually shipwrecked somewhere in your walk, fasting will release the bonds of spiritual incarceration off of you.

Daniel engaged in spiritual warfare when he was fasting for 21 days. Fasting is something that we need to do for spiritual maturity; it makes us stronger in spiritual warfare. We must do this to be victorious and confront spiritual wickedness on every level.(To learn about different ways to fast please email me at pwade@tcanrome.com)

We Are Called to a Life of Purity

Romans 6:23 says, “For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God [that is, His remarkable, overwhelming gift of grace to believers] is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Amplified Bible), and 1 Peter 1:16 tells us, “because it is written, ‘You shall be holy (set apart), for I am holy’” (Amplified Bible).

You can see that sin opens demonic doors to demonic attacks. It is absolutely important to live in holiness, meaning a pure life, a genuine life. We’re not perfect in any way.

Satan has plots, schemes, and set-ups of spiritual barriers to trip us up from our life of holiness. Satanic weapons and demonic arsenals are aimed against us to try and stop us from living a life of holiness. In order to be victorious when confronted with spiritual wickedness, one thing we must do in our hearts and minds is to live in uncompromised holiness, and be dedicated and sold out to Jesus. Let’s be mindful of Him throughout the day and until it’s time to go to bed.

““Whenever you fast, do not put on a gloomy face as the hypocrites do, for they neglect their appearance so that they will be noticed by men when they are fasting. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full. But you, when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face so that your fasting will not be noticed by men, but by your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you.”

‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6‬:‭16‬-‭18‬ ‭NASB1995

Pray with me-

Father,

We long to be set free from the things that keep us from walking with you

In peace , joy and fulfillment. In what way would you us fast father?

From all foods, for how long? From certain foods, for how long? From TV, from sodas, from sweets?Father, I will fast from anything you call me to fast from, I just need the noise of this world to be shut off and we need to be delivered from the things that sent us back. Give us strength to do your will this day and the boldness to share with others your faithfulness. We love you in Jesus name.

Team Wade is crazy about you❤️👊
