Fasting is one of the most powerful—and most misunderstood—spiritual disciplines in Christianity, yet it’s rarely taught in depth.

In this teaching, we walk carefully through Scripture to answer questions like:

Why did Jesus say “when you fast,” not “if you fast”?
What did Jesus really mean by “this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting”?
Is fasting about demons… or unbelief?
Why did fasting precede major breakthroughs in the early church?
How does fasting affect faith, unbelief, calling, and spiritual power?
What is biblical fasting, and what is it not?
How should someone practically prepare for and walk through a fast?

Using passages from Matthew 6, Matthew 17, Luke 5, Acts 10, Acts 13, Acts 14, 1 Corinthians 7, and more, this message shows how fasting:

Drives out unbelief
Aligns the soul under the Spirit
Releases clarity, calling, and direction
Positions believers for breakthrough and fruit

This teaching also includes very practical guidance for anyone considering a fast —whether one day or several weeks— including mental, physical, and spiritual preparation.

If you’ve ever wondered why fasting matters, or felt stirred to fast but didn’t understand the purpose or process, this message is for you.

“Your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly.” — Matthew 6:18

If you’ve ever wondered why the early church walked in miracles, boldness, signs, wonders, and supernatural power—and why so many Christians today don’t—this message walks straight through Scripture to show you exactly what Jesus intended for His followers.

Being born again means the Holy Spirit lives in you.
But being baptized with the Holy Spirit means He comes upon you with power.

And that power is for:

  • Preaching the gospel with effectiveness
  • Healing the sick
  • Breaking oppression
  • Setting captives free
  • Seeing miracles
  • Living the life Jesus promised in John 14:12

We walk through:

  • Ephesians 1 & 3 – What Paul prayed believers would understand
  • Acts 10:38 – Jesus anointed with the Spirit and with power
  • Matthew 9 & 10 – Jesus imparting power to the 12 and then the 70
  • Luke 4:18 – Why Jesus was anointed and what He was anointed to do
  • Acts 2, 8, 10, and 19 – Clear biblical examples of believers receiving the Spirit after salvation
  • John 14 & 16 – Why Jesus had to go so the Spirit could come
  • The difference between the Spirit in you (salvation) and the Spirit upon you (power)
  • How believers today can receive the baptism with the Holy Spirit
  • A closing prayer for fresh anointing, boldness, and empowerment

If you’ve never been baptized with the Holy Spirit—or if you need a fresh filling—this message is for you.
 And if this topic is new or feels foreign, buckle up… we go straight into the Word of God and let Scripture speak for itself.

This was triggered because not long before that, I noticed as I was reading through 1 Corinthians about spiritual gifts, that God wants us to desire them (1 Corinthians 14:1). Well, when I coupled that with many other passages, like Psalm 37:4 which says, “Delight yourself also in the LORD, and He shall give you the desires of your heart,” I decided to take it all very seriously. Again, God says, “Desire spiritual gifts,” and, “I will give you the desires of your heart.” The result? God will give you the spiritual gifts your heart desires. So, I began desiring. What this looked like was meditating on these scriptures, and many others, usually in the morning, but also throughout the day. Right around November 2017, one of my good friends, who is kind of now my half cousin by marriage, and the first employee of Vertical Computers, Kody Bakos, came into my office to talk. He said as he was driving back to work, he felt God telling him that he needed to ask me to pray for healing for his hand. Since about 2010, whenever it was cold, Kody would get excruciating pain in his hand. He said his tendons and bones would hurt to the point where he would refrain from moving his hand. I remember asking Kody, “You need me to pray for it?” as his demeanor was a little strange. He reemphasized that he felt like God had specifically told him to ask me to pray for it, but that he was initially a little hesitant about following through. I leaped with joy internally, because Kody had no idea how I had been seeking God regarding spiritual gifts, and specifically desiring gifts of healings (see 1 Corinthians 12). As I took his hand with my two hands, I prayed something like this: I thank you God for answering Kody’s cry regarding this pain in his hand, and for speaking so specifically to him about it. I thank you that the prayer of faith heals the sick (James 5:15), and that Jesus, you said one of the signs that follow those who believe you, is that ‘they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover’ (Mark 16:18). So, in the name of Jesus, I command this pain to leave, and the root of it to be eradicated. Hand, be healed in the mighty name of Jesus. Later that day, Kody told me that about an hour after the prayer, all the pain left! It has been a year now since the seven-year excruciating hand pain, caused by cold, was healed, and Kody still reports that it was and continues to be fully healed! Praise God! What spiritual gifts is your heart desiring? I encourage you to read 1 Corinthians 12 through 14, and pick at least one spiritual gift that you’d like to see active in your life (a.k.a desire). Once you do, start incorporating that desire into your prayer life, and watch God follow through on His promise!

Whether it shows up in the church or in an individual’s life, it must be addressed quickly — because it spreads, and it limits the move of the Holy Spirit.

But hear this clearly: God isn’t condemning believers who are struggling. Jesus already bore that condemnation for us. Because of what He did, those who have put their faith in Him have been washed, sanctified, and justified — even from sexual sin.

That includes whatever you might be struggling with right now.

The good news? Jesus wants you free. And through the power of the Holy Spirit, you can be.

Paul and Apollos are affirmed as faithful stewards of the mysteries of God — not because of their status, but because they were found faithful.

Paul highlights a dangerous arrogance that had crept into the church — a pride that produces lofty words but lacks the power of the Holy Spirit. He draws a sharp contrast:

“I will know, not the word of those who are puffed up, but the power. For the kingdom of God is not in word but in power.”

This chapter calls us to walk in the Spirit, not just talk about it — and to imitate those who truly live by the power of God, not just persuasive speech.

Instead, many believe promises like that must not be true or must not apply physically since "so and so" prayed and didn't see healing manifest. We need to walk by faith, not by sight. We need to believe God instead of Bob. Once we can give 0% credibility to our negative experiences, and 100% credibility to God's word, we will see His promises manifest in our lives.

Job and the terrible things that happened to him are often used as a counter to healing, much like Paul's thorn (see last weeks teaching "What about Paul's Thorn"). However, God did not do to Job what we read about in the 42 chapters that make up the book. Satan was the one who initiated and executed the terrible things that happened to him. Job's confusion of why "God" had done what He did, completely ignorant of the fact that it was actually Satan, caused him to eventually justify himself rather than God (Job 32:2), something he later repented of (Job 42:6). I hope this teaching helps bring understanding to what was really happening behind the scenes for Job, and helps you believe confidently for healing, instead of always thinking or being asked "ya but what about Job".

Paul's thorn in the flesh (the misunderstanding of it) in probably the biggest scriptural hindrance to Christian's who want to believe God for healing. Many believe that Paul asked God to heal him, three times, and God said no, without knowing what's actually recorded in 2 Corinthians 12:1-10. That is NOT what it says! Much of what's believed about this passage comes from added concepts with an underlying purpose to dismiss the continuation of the gifts of the Spirit today like healing, as well as redefining important words and phrases in the text itself. I pray that as you listen to this teaching, the Holy Spirit would cause any misunderstanding about this passage on Paul's thorn to be cleared up so you can believe with confidence that God wants you well, and that He's definitely not saying "no" to your healing.
