There are invisible forces that always want to influence your decisions. Therefore, you must fast before considering an important decision.
Your decisions must always bring about the Kingdom of God on earth.
First, we must understand that God’s desire is for the Kingdom of Heaven to be repeated on planet Earth. Therefore, our Lord Jesus Christ has always recommended that we pray like this:
Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
10 your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Matthew 6:9-10
Satan always wants to influence your decisions.
King David’s bad decision that brought destruction to Israel.
21 Satan rose up against Israel and incited David to take a census of Israel. 2 So David said to Joab and the commanders of the troops, “Go and count the Israelites from Beersheba to Dan. Then report back to me so that I may know how many there are.”
1 Chronicles 21:1-2
Fasting will remove all of Satan’s suggestions from your mind.
Considering all the facts presented above, it is important that you fast before making any important decision. Fasting works by inviting God’s presence into your life. It is the presence of our Heavenly Father, our Lord Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit that will drive Satan and demons away from your decision-making process.
Fasting works in combination with prayer.
Finally, we must understand that fasting works in combination with prayer. When we fast, we must ask our Heavenly Father to guide us in making the right decision. By fasting and praying, we will have the assurance that our decision will bring God’s kingdom to earth.
