This Kind Goes Not Except by Fasting and Prayer - 1
The Mysteries of Problems
Have you encountered problems
or challenges that looked mysterious? You tried your best, however, to no
avail. Your family and friends did their best but failed. The best doctors,
professionals, and experts did their best.
However, they failed. You
spent a huge amount of money to solve the issue but failed. I remember a woman
sharing her painful experience with me. This woman had lost one of her
children.
One of his sons was a
great footballer. However, his son complained of headaches. The woman took her
son to numerous doctors and spiritual leaders. She believed her son would
receive deliverance.
However, her son’s issue
worsened. The more she took her son to different places, the greater her son’s
pain increased. For several years, her son couldn’t recover. Finally, her son
died. I realized she was part of her son’s problem as she talked to me.
Although she was trying
to “help” her son receive healing, she worked in darkness. A time comes we
desire to come out from certain problems. However, the problem persists. In
such a case, you need the divine wisdom I am about to share in this article.

The case of the epileptic boy
And when he came to his disciples, he saw a great multitude
about them, and the scribes questioning with them.
And straightway all the people, when they beheld him, were greatly
amazed, and running to him saluted him.
And he asked the scribes, What question ye with them?
And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have brought unto
thee my son, which hath a dumb spirit;
And wheresoever he taketh him, he teareth him: and he foameth, and
gnasheth with his teeth, and pineth away: and I spake to thy disciples that
they should cast him out; and they could not.
He answereth him, and saith, O faithless generation, how long shall I
be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto me.
And they brought him unto him: and when he saw him, straightway the
spirit tare him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming.
And he asked his father, How long is it ago since this came unto him?
And he said, Of a child.
And ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to
destroy him: but if thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us, and help
us.
Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are
possible to him that believeth.
And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears,
Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief.
When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the
foul spirit, saying unto him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee,
come out of him, and enter no more into him.
And the spirit cried, and rent him sore, and came out of him:
and he was as one dead; insomuch that many said, He is dead.
But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose.
And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately,
Why could not we cast him out?
And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by
prayer and fasting.
Mark 9:14-29 KJV
We could see from the
Holy Scriptures that a man brought his weak son to Christ Jesus' disciples. The
man wanted Christ Jesus’ disciples to heal his son. However, they couldn’t.
When Christ Jesus encountered the man’s child, he rebuked the evil spirit
behind the boy’s sickness.
The boy had epilepsy.
Evil spirits were tormenting the boy through that humiliating sickness.
However, Christ Jesus’ disciples couldn’t heal or deliver the child. In Matthew’s
account, Christ Jesus told his disciples they couldn’t heal the boy because of
their unbelief and corrupt heart (see Matthew 17:14-21).
Christ Jesus further revealed
that they couldn’t deliver the weak boy from evil spirits because they lacked spiritual
power. Another reason for their failure was that they did not apply their faith.
Christ Jesus’ disciples lacked the power embedded in fasting and prayers. Christ
Jesus unveiled the real cause of their failure in verse twenty-nine of Mark
chapter nine.
And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by
prayer and fasting.
Mark 9:29 KJV
Jesus said, “This kind can come forth by
nothing but by prayer and fasting.”
This means some problems demand fasting and prayers. You cannot solve some
problems in life except through fasting and prayers.
The demons in the child
recognized the power level of Christ Jesus’ disciples. They rebelled when they
recognized that Christ Jesus’ disciples had low power. You cannot solve
spiritual problems with your physical power.
Spiritual problems demand
spiritual solutions. You cannot solve hunger with medicine. You have to eat. In
the same way, we solve the problem of thirst by drinking water or liquid. You
need spiritual power to solve spiritual problems. Some demons will not bow
until you fast and pray (meditate on Mark 9:29).
Some evil spirits are more wicked than others.
When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry
places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house
whence I came out.
And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished.
Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked
than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of
that man is worse than the first.
Luke 11:24-26 KJV
Christ Jesus stated that
when an unclean spirit (demon or evil spirit) leaves a man (including a woman),
it can return with seven wicked spirits, which are more wicked than himself.
This means some demons are more wicked than others.
You cannot deal with
stronger demons with weak spiritual power because power is in rank. Every child
of God has power. However, you must increase your spiritual power through Spirit-led
fasting and prayers (meditate Luke 4:1-14).
Fasting and prayers is
one the fastest way to grow in spiritual power. Living in holiness is a secret
key to unleashing great spiritual power. Fellowshipping with the Holy Spirit
enhances your spiritual power.
Dominating the works of
the enemy demands faith. If your faith is weak, you cannot command strong
demons. If your heart is corrupt, you cannot dominate specific evil spirits. Christ
Jesus has defeated Satan, sin, and his minions. However, you must know the
spiritual laws and codes of power and authority.
The Necessity of Fasting and Prayers
And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was
led by the Spirit into the wilderness,
Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat
nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered.
And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, command this
stone that it be made bread.
And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not
live by bread alone, but by every word of God.
Luke 4:1-4 KJV
When the devil tempted
Christ Jesus, Christ Jesus stated that man should not live by bread alone. This
means we can live without food and water. There are times we have to fast and
pray. Fasting and praying solves problems our human strength cannot solve.
You need the Word of God (the Holy Bible). The Word of God is a spiritual builder. The Word can build your soul and empower your spirit. Connect with my teachings for more profound revelation about the Word of God.
The Power of Fasting and Prayers
The more we fast and
pray, our spiritual muscles receive power. This power enables us to trample
over the works of the enemy. Spiritual power enables us to do extraordinary
works in God’s Kingdom.
One thing I have realized
about myself is that I feel relieved in the Spirit the more I fast and pray. My
soul becomes sensitive to the Holy Spirit. After fasting and praying, I sense
inner peace, joy, and freedom in my spirit.
The more I fast and pray;
the wicked powers do not come near me. Fasting and prayers empower me to
challenge the enemy in spiritual realms. My prayer power increases when I fast
and pray. Like a weak battery, charging it revives its capacity.
That’s what fasting and
prayers do to our spirit and soul. The more we fast and pray, we charge our
spirit and soul. We become sensitive to spiritual things in the fasting and
prayer season. It is time to engage in fasting and prayers because wicked people
can bewitch you and your community with demonic powers.
Witchcraft Operation in Communities
…there was a certain man, called Simon, which beforetime in the same
city used sorcery, and bewitched the people of Samaria, giving out that himself
was some great one:
To whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying,
This man is the great power of God.
And to him they had regard, because that of long time he had bewitched
them with sorceries.
Acts 8:9-11 KJV
This incident happened after
the death and resurrection of Christ Jesus. Simon used sorcery to bewitch the
people in Samaria. The people in Samaria believed Simon was great. However, he
used witchcraft to control them (meditate on 2 Corinthians 10:3-5).
If Simon could bewitch
the people of Samaria with witchcraft after the death and resurrection of
Christ Jesus, what is the probability that a Satanic agent cannot use
witchcraft to control your community (family, school, home, workplace, and “church”)?
Christian believers were
in the community of Samaria. Christ Jesus had already died and risen. However,
Simon could bewitch the community of Samaria. It is time to engage in fasting
and prayers because some people can control your community with witchcraft.
In your workplace,
school, and “church,” a wicked vessel can use demonic power to control the
people. The bewitchment can affect you if you are weak in the spirit. Are you
fasting and praying?
Satan hindered Apostle Paul.
Wherefore we would have come unto you, even I Paul, once and again; but
Satan hindered us.
1 Thessalonians 2:18 KJV
Apostle Paul confessed
that Satan detained him and some Christian missionaries. Remember, Apostle Paul
was a strong Christian believer. He was an Apostle. The Holy Spirit anointed
Paul. Demons confessed they knew Apostle Paul (see Acts 19:15).
However, Satan could
hinder him. If Satan could hinder Apostle Paul from visiting the church in
Thessalonica, what is the probability that Satan cannot stop you? Remember,
this happened after the death and resurrection of Christ Jesus.
It is time to engage in
fasting and prayers because Satan wants to stop your ministry. Satan and his
minions want to break your marriage, business, and family. If you don’t engage
in fasting and prayers, the devil will hinder you as he did to Apostle Paul and
the Christian missionaries.
Apostle Paul fought with a beast.
If after the manner of men I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what
advantageth it me…
1 Corinthians 15:32 KJV
I have had numerous
dreams of fighting strange forces. Most often, I see myself with soldiers in
intensive warfare against the opponent. Sometimes I see myself with police
officers. Other times, I see myself fighting with swords in the spiritual realm.
Sometimes in military
cars. Spiritual warfare dreams have occurred several times in my life. I confess that the devil and demons are real—the
devil attacks with fear. Satan is an unmerciful strange being!
My
encounter with the devil helped me better understand fear. I FELT FEAR AND
WICKEDNESS when I saw the devil (angry red dragon) in the spiritual realm. It
stood on two legs.
I cannot find the exact
words to describe the devil (the dragon). However, its appearance is clear in
my mind. Fear became tangible when I saw the devil in the spiritual realm. I saw no iota of mercy in the devil’s face!
Satan
wanted to attack me! However, it couldn’t! Child of God, we serve the King of
Kings and Lord of Lords. No devil can kill or destroy us if Christ Jesus is on
our side! One thing I realize about the devil is that it attacks with its
heaviest blow when you cross his path.
Another
thing about the devil is that it hides in its operation. The devil comes with a
heart-striking fear. It’s always looking for a fight (meditate on John 10:10, 1
Peter 5:8-9, and Ephesians 6:10-18 and freely download my book, Dominating the Dark Kingdom, for a more profound revelation).
Like
Apostle Paul, he declared that he fought with the beast of Ephesus (see 1
Corinthians 15:32). That beast is an evil spirit. It is a territorial power. Without
fasting and prayers, the evil prince in your area can limit you. It is time to
engage in fasting and prayers. As Christ Jesus said to his disciples, “This
kind can come forth by nothing but by prayer and fasting.” Are you fasting
and praying?
The works of unmerciful spirits
…we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities,
against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against
spiritual wickedness in high places.
Ephesians 6:12 KJV
One of the wicked spirits
that works against our will is the water spirit. They are sometimes called
marine spirits. These spirits can defy you in your dream. They often use
lustful scenes to control people.
They work with the
serpentine spirits (meditate on Luke 10:19). If you are a man, they will use
the face of women to seduce you. If you are a woman, they will use the face of
men—water spirits attacks at the edge of your breakthrough.
Most often, you will see
yourself engaging in sex in dreams. During sexual defilement, you can release
sperm physically. It has happened to me several times. If you are a woman, you
can also become wet physically when these wicked spirits defile you in the
spiritual realm.
Although some wet dreams
emanate from your subconscious mind and excess sperm, water spirits are the main
perpetrators of wet dreams. These wicked and rebellious spirits attack
randomly. Among the unclean spirits, I believe they are the most wicked.
Watching pornographic
videos, reading demonic books, playing seductive games, listening to ungodly
music, associating with unclean people, and eating unclean food can pave the way
for these wicked spirits to dominate you. Failure to engage in fasting and
prayers can empower these unclean spirits to attack you continuously.
Constant bad dreams
In dreams, we are vulnerable. If you are not born again, the devil attacks without hindrance. If you are weak in the spirit, the devil attacks you easily. Analyze your dreams. What do you see?
- Do you often see yourself in strange places in your dreams?
- Do you often see yourself in your formal school doing unnecessary things in your dreams?
- Do you often see yourself in your formal workplace doing strange things in your dreams?
- Do you often see yourself in your village or strange buildings doing unnecessary things in your dreams?
- Do you often see yourself in the graveyard in your dreams? (connect with my article, how to dominate the spirit and death and my book, dominating the dark kingdom for more profound revelations).
- Do you often see animals and strange people attacking you in your dreams?
- Do you often see strange beings pursuing you in your dreams?
These activities should
alert you that evil spiritual forces and wicked powers are working against you
and those connected to you. Until you fast and pray, the devil will not stop bombarding
you with strange dreams.
I have realized that the
more I fast and pray, my dreams become clearer. Evil dreams vanish when I fast
and pray. In the fasting and prayer season, I dominate the enemy's works in the
spiritual realm.
Spirit-led fasting and
prayers are one secret key to spiritual dominance. Spirit-led fasting and
prayers are master keys to breaking the rod of the wicked (see Isaiah 58:6). If
you don’t want to become a prisoner in the enemy’s kingdom, engage in fasting
and prayers.
The enemy tormenting you
emotionally, physically, and spiritually will depart if you fast and pray in
the Spirit (meditate on 1 Corinthians 14:4, Romans 8:26-27). At least fast and
pray once a week.
Pray often in the middle
of the night (connect with my book, 1001
Principles of spiritual warfare, for more profound revelations). Consistent
fasting and praying will push wicked spirits away.
Your life will be full of
divine power. Victory
will embrace you when you engage in fasting and prayers. Remember, some
chains will not break until you fast and pray. As Christ Jesus stated, “This kind can come forth by
nothing but by prayer and fasting.”
