Practicing Fasting | To Amplify our Prayers

Emmaus Road Church | Fort Collins, Colorado

Sermon Scripture: Acts 13:1-3, Jonah 3:3-10

Fasting and prayer go together. Like two wings of a bird, together they take flight. You can pray without fasting, and you can fast without praying, but when you combine the two, there’s a noticeable amplification of our prayer before God.

This comes as no surprise, since fasting is a kind of praying with our body. When the request of our heart is coupled with the yearning of our body, our prayer is purified of its dross and presented like a precious metal before the Father, for him to do as he will.
