Great preachers of past generations who were mightily used by God were often led to fast and pray for certain periods in order to break through into greater realms of anointing and communion with God.
One of these was Reverend Walter Vinson Grant who was a renowned healing evangelist of the 20th century. In his ministry, there were diverse testimonies of healings and deliverances that marveled many people. However, while many saw these outward manifestations of power, few saw the preparations that led to it.
As a minister of the Gospel, he was very hungry to see the power of God in his ministry. He constantly sought God, fasted, read many Christian books, and studied his Bible day and night. This was virtually his lifestyle for fourteen years.
In his book ‘’Must I Fast for Forty Days or Four Days’, Reverend Walter Grant spoke about how he was led to fast for a number of days. After the fast he received a divine visitation where the power to cast out demons was released upon him. After this encounter he began to experience a mighty flow of God’s Spirit.
This soon resulted in the eruption of amazing miracles, signs and wonders in his life and ministry. These manifestations of power brought him to global limelight, especially during the 1950’s healing revival that swept through America
There is a price to pay to see miracles, signs and wonders. If our desire is to see God’s power in our lives this year, then we must become prepared to pay the spiritual price of fasting and praying.
It is the believers who take time to wait upon God in this beginning month, that will eventually emerge as winners this year. They may suddenly appear, as if from nowhere with amazing testimonies, but their secret is the time spent in seeking God and building strong spiritual roots.
To bear fruits upward, you must first take deep roots downward. It is your depth in God that determines your height in life.
The truth is that what we do in this season of fasting and praying, will determine the outcome of the coming days.
Therefore there must be seriousness in our spiritual preparations if we are ever to reach our godly potentials and manifest God’s anointing to our generation.
2 Chronicles 27:6 says, ‘So Jotham became mighty, because he prepared his ways before the LORD his God.’
Preparation is the fundamental key in the school of success.
No matter how religious or dedicated we may be, if the price for power is not paid, it will be difficult to experience true progress and victory this year.
It is certainly our year to break free from every limitation, break forth on every side and arrive at glorious heights.
Today, let us receive the grace to pay the price to win the race before us. As we sow the seed of fasting and praying in this season, surely, we will soon reap the harvest of our desired miracles in all areas of our lives.
PRAYER: Lord, I thank You for the great and mighty things You have in store for me this year. Please enable me to pay the price of spiritual preparation so as to see their manifestations in Jesus’ Name.
