Matthew 17:20-21 for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.
Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.

I would ask that all who will, not just pray but, also fast. This helps in getting G-d's attention and also shows that you really mean it. Make sure you do it with a right heart. Wanting to get closer to G-d, seek his face. If you read in the bible there were many times when something really bad was going on the people were called to fast and pray. The early Christians did this often, but, today most don't. I would again ask that all who would, and who can, please fast and pray. The easiest fast is the dusk to dusk or say from 6:00 this evening, or whatever evening you chose, to 6:00 the following evening. If you have a medical condition that won't allow you to do this, then you can also just give up a favorite food.

I was getting ready to ask you what to do if we have a medical condition that requires food. I think this is a good idea and am willing to participate. It's been 20 yrs since I fasted during prayer. (that's a long story)

I just ate before I logged on but will fast with you for the rest of the day. Thanks ML for the reminder to do this.

Dear Lord, please let this be the day...as much as I am beginning to feel bonded to everyone here, Lord, please don't allow this particular prayer thread to be needed for much longer. In Jesus name, Amen

Excellent point! It can be fasting from something you really like the most! Meaning giving up something you enjoy! Anything! Food, beverages, News, Internet, Races, candy, etc. and so on! Now I have to figure what to give up, and that will probably be the NASCAR race! No I am not in any way making fun of this, but that is what I do on Sundays.....and it is a grieving process (which is what fasting is all about) grieving and asking for Divine intervention! and being serious about doing such! Showing that you are sincerely grieving something and proving it by giving up something you love the most! Ashes and tearing on the clothing and pulling out your own hair....well, I am not so sure I would do all of that, but I would and will if it will stop this evil demon!

Thank you for this post and the opportunity to reply to it!
