Actually the NIV mentions “fasting” plenty of times: https://www.biblegateway.com/quicksearch/?quicksearch=fasting&qs_version=NIV

But it omits verses about prayer and fasting being necessary to cast out demonic spirits. In light of the occult Wikileaks blood rituals, I’m going with the KJV.

Fasting was a common activity in Judaism. But the disciples could not cast out a certain demon and Jesus told them they needed prayer and fasting in order to do get rid of it.

I heard some pastor discuss this a long time ago. Fasting is a denial of the flesh and somehow this gives authority over the evil realm, perhaps even going back to when Eve ate of the verboten fruit.
