In my teen years the Lord blessed me with the witness of faithful saints who were faithful in fasting and much prayer. I to felt the deep leading of the Holy Spirit and burden of fasting, the burden of fasting is a liberty burned of the liberty of the Spirit. Throughout my teen years I fasted many times, and I prayed many times, I loved to fast and I believed in the power of fasting. Now in the last five years again I have been led to fast many times and to fast often and pray much, during this time the Holy Spirit begun to give me teachings from the Word of God, Word Revelation about the power of fasting. I believe that in my teen years of fasting was a time of preparation for my future ministry and my holy calling, you know our calling is holy, and during these last five years of fasting, I have seen breakthrough and the fruits of fasting when I fasted. –(Heb. 13:7)

We have come to a day in time, that the restoration of fasting is happening before our very ears and very eyes, a revelation of fasting and teaching on fasting is being giving to the church, fasting will become river of freshness in the church. –(LK. 5:33-35)

The Lord in His wisdom is pouring out an outpouring of prayer and fasting upon the church in our time, we are living in the beginning days of times of fasting and much prayer. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Prayer and the Spirit of Fasting, and we have entered into a holy outpouring of the Spirit of Prayer and a holy outpouring of the Spirit of Fasting. –(Zech. 12:10)

Fasting again will become a practice of faith in the church beginning in our days, beginning in this new season of sowing seeds of prayer and fasting to reap signs, wonders, manifestations of the Spirits, miracles, raising the dead, salvation of the masses, and revivals. –(Gal. 6:7-9)

As the church obeys the holy practice of prayer and fasting, revivals will rain like water upon the church, the more we fast and pray with revelation and prophetic anointing we will see the wells of past revivals reborn, and even greater and we will see the fulfillments of prayers and prophetic words about the coming revivals. –(1 Tim. 1:18, 2:1-8)

There will be prophets and apostles who will be raise up for the purpose to lead the church in prayer and fasting, this will be a great work of the Spirit that bring forth the will of the Lord and of the Kingdom in the earth in our generation. –(Joel 2:1)

Soon prayer and fasting will be practice by faith and by the leading of the Holy Spirit all over America in the Church, the deep callings of the Spirit is coming upon the Church in a heavy and deep spiritual prophetic burden. The reaping of these times of deep prayer and prophetic acting, will be massive repentances all over the church of America, and the Spirit of Repentance will be poured out all over America, great repentance is coming to America, and then this fire of great repentance will go to the nations of the world. It will begin within a city, when the believers of a city begin to fast and pray often, the signs of coming revival will be seen; then a gate of revival will be open. –(Rev. 8:3-4)

When we fast, we fast to change the ways of the world to the ways of the Lord, when we fast we fast to change the hearts of the masses, soon very soon an grace and anointing will come with deep prophetic insight into the power of fasting and the leadership of the Holy Spirit will lead great numbers in the church around the world in fasting, and this is only the beginning. –(Amos 2:11-12,8:9-12)
