He would not have listened if I had not confessed my sins. But he listened! He heard my prayer! He paid attention to it! Blessed be God who didn't turn away when I was praying, and didn't refuse me his kindness and love.&amp;nbsp;(Psalm 66:16-20) &amp;nbsp; \uf0b7&amp;nbsp; Fasting and prayer can restore the loss of the &quot;first love&quot; for your Lord and result in a more intimate relationship with Christ. \uf0b7&amp;nbsp; Fasting is a biblical way to truly humble yourself in the sight of God (Psalm 35:13; Ezra 8:21). King David said, &quot;I humble myself through fasting.&quot; \uf0b7&amp;nbsp; Fasting enables the Holy Spirit to reveal your true spiritual condition, resulting in brokenness, repentance, and a transformed life. \uf0b7&amp;nbsp; The Holy Spirit will quicken the Word of God in your heart and His truth will become more meaningful to you! \uf0b7&amp;nbsp; Fasting can transform your prayer life into a richer and more personal experience. \uf0b7&amp;nbsp; Fasting can result in a dynamic personal revival in your own life-and make you a channel of revival to others. \uf0b7&amp;nbsp; Fasting and prayer are the only disciplines that fulfill the requirements of II Chronicles 7:14: &amp;nbsp; Call to Action:&amp;nbsp; repent, prayer, get your mind right, meditate, limit your food intake, save some money, get in the Word of God. Start a new habit of prayer. Fast daily, if your health allows it. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; Giving Links Thank you for listening, downloading and supporting the Speak Life Church and this podcast. &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp;https:\/\/giv.li\/p2nj61  Zelle&amp;nbsp; - pastor@SpeakLifeChurch.net  https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/speaklifechurchpodcast  You can support the ministry by check or money order by sending it to Speak Life Church, 14713 Kent Drive, Upper Marlboro, MD 20772 &amp;nbsp; Rev.
