I have learned over my 37 years, as a prayer warriorm that wars are won first in heaven by angels vs demons, then seen in present on earth. Be that personal battles, or national battles, etc. Some things take fasting for the bondages to break....Miracles can and do happen!
Bible backs that up....Daniel waited 21 days for an answer to prayer, and Elijah asked God to open Elisha’s eyes, and when he did, there was a host of angels ready to battle with them....when it looked impossible.
We understand very little about the power of prayer, even though Jesus tried to teach it to the disciples, when he was on earth. Mathew 18:18 is powerful, it is about binding and loosing. If mothers and fathers knew how to use it, their children would be under control. I use it with my own family. And they wonder how I get the baby to go to sleep, when they can’t...lol
All the tools are written in scriptures, yet few ever understand. Jesus said ‘GREATER works than I do will they do in my name.” Pray, fast, and learn the scriptures that work every day in our lives, for peace, harmony, and happiness. Some things are more difficult to fix than others, but with the help of quoting relevant scripture and challenging the negatives, things happen eventually. Jesus said “Be it to you according to your faith” “Call those things that be not as though they were”....speak positive, and believe it. Hope that helps!
And if not literal fasting, other austerity. Conditions under which the leading and provision of God become clearer.
