Fasting Without Prayer Is Just Going Hungry!

Fasting Without Prayer Is Just Going Hungry!

You’re hungry, you say? Let’s feed that spirit and fire for God! 

“Kingdom fasting” usually refers to fasting that is not just about abstaining from food for personal benefit, but fasting with a kingdom mindset—seeking God’s will, advancing His purposes, and aligning with His rule in every area of life. It goes beyond religious ritual and self-denial; it’s fasting with intentionality for the glory of God and the building of His kingdom.

Here are some key aspects often connected with kingdom fasting:

God-Centered, Not Self-Centered

Instead of fasting primarily for personal breakthrough, weight loss, or health, kingdom fasting is about surrendering desires to seek God’s presence, guidance, and purposes.

(Matthew 6:33 – “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.”)

Fasting with Righteousness

Isaiah 58 describes the fast God chooses, the kind of fast that pleases Him:

  • “To loose the bonds of wickedness” – breaking chains of sin and oppression. 
  • “To undo the heavy burdens” – lifting weights off others, not adding to them. 
  • “To let the oppressed go free” – pursuing justice and freedom. 
  • “To share your bread with the hungry” – meeting practical needs. 
  • “To bring to your house the poor who are cast out” – hospitality and generosity. 
  • “When you see the naked, that you cover him” – caring for the vulnerable. 

True fasting is not about denying ourselves for show—it’s about denying selfishness so we can love God and people more fully.

Spiritual Warfare & Intercession

Kingdom fasting often includes standing in the gap for nations, families, communities, and churches—praying for revival, deliverance, and the advancement of God’s kingdom on earth.

Transformation & Alignment

It’s about allowing God to shape our hearts so we walk in holiness, obedience, and power.

The goal is not just answers to prayer, but transformation into Christlikeness, so His will can flow through us.

Empowerment for Kingdom Work

Jesus fasted before beginning His public ministry (Luke 4). Kingdom fasting prepares and empowers believers for effective service, boldness, and spiritual authority.

In short: Kingdom fasting is fasting with a focus on God’s kingdom agenda—justice, righteousness, revival, and transformation—rather than merely personal gain.

Now put down that plate and marinate on Isaiah 58!

Yes, you can speak in tongues!

Tongues is indeed for every believer. Let’s dive in. 

First, let’s go over a few key points. We are one with the Holy Spirit; as stated in 1 Corinthians 6:17 “But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him.” Romans 8:26-27 tells us, “Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God.” We learn from this scripture that the Holy Spirit helps us in our weakness. Meaning we don’t always know what God wants us to pray for, but the Holy Spirit prays for us with groanings that cannot be expressed in words; and the Father, who knows all hearts, knows what the Spirit is saying because the Spirit pleads for us believers in harmony with God’s own will. Those “groanings” are not the gift of tongues so all we want to glean from this portion of scripture is that the Holy Spirit prays for us. The Holy Spirit is our helper

Now let’s look more specifically at the gift of tongues mentioned in 1 Corinthians 14. There are three expressions of tongues; ​​the personal tongue, a private prayer language for self-edification (1 Corinthians 14:2); the proof tongue, an earthly language for unbelievers to witness God’s power, as seen on the day of Pentecost; and the prophetic tongue, which requires an interpreter to provide a message for the church’s benefit. Now why would God only want certain people to have a personal, private prayer language? He wants to speak with all of His children in this intimate way, therefore all we have to do is receive this divine gift. 

So what’s blocking us from speaking in this wonderful private prayer language? It comes down to one word – ego. Not pride, pride can be a part of it, but self is the root.  We get in our own way. Ego allows one or a combination of these three things to block igniting the gift of speaking in tongues. Fear, doubt, and overthinking.

Fear of looking foolish. We’re afraid of people of the world, heathens, criticizing us. Well, so be it. We’re afraid of religious Christians criticizing us. Well, so be it. If you’re worried about looking strange, let me just tell you plainly, you’re going to look strange. We are supposed to stand out. God calls us to be set apart, not to fit in. We are a peculiar people.

Doubt in the Holy Spirit praying through us. We say, “This is just me.” Or “Maybe this isn’t really the gift of tongues.” Our doubt needs to go and be replaced by faith. We need to trust fully in God’s Word. The other thing is that yes, it will partially be just us. One of the biggest misconceptions that Christians have is that the Holy Spirit is going to do all the work. In fact, any spiritual act requires faith. It requires our participation. It requires our action, our trust in God. Just because we do not fully understand it does not mean we should not fully put our faith in it.“For we walk by faith, not by sight,” (2 Corinthians 5:7). “Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding,” (Proverbs 3:5).

Lastly, overthinking. Just relax – that is faith in action. Sometimes we have trouble releasing this gift because we’re so tense and wrapped up in ourselves. So, let go of the fear. Let go of the doubt. Let go of the overthinking. We will look foolish. This is real. Faith trumps all. 

Now, I challenge you to begin to release those syllables and sounds by faith, trusting that the Holy Spirit will fill them. It is the language of surrender. It is the language of faith. Leave it to God to hide such immense power behind such a humble childlike act. It’s like starting a car. You have to turn the key, but once you turn the key, that engine takes over and you’ll feel the moment that it becomes a flow. Go ahead, be bold. Don’t be afraid. Don’t be ashamed. Release those heavenly syllables and sounds. 

In Jesus’ Name, Amen!!

Why You Have NOT Committed the Unforgiveable Sin

Please know that the Holy Spirit is residing in you! You have not
blasphemed Him. How do I know this? Because the Word says this: “And
when He has come, He will convict the world of sin, and of
righteousness, and of judgment.” (John 16:8). If you didn’t have the
Holy Spirit, you would not feel any conviction or need to get right with
God. This is because the Holy Spirit is the one who gives us conviction.
There is no conviction without Him.  In addition, the Holy Spirit is the
one who testifies of Jesus. “But when the Helper comes, whom I shall
send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the
Father, He will testify of Me.” (John 15:26 NKJV). Now because the Holy
Spirit is the one who testifies of Jesus, the reason why blaspheming Him
is the only unforgivable sin is because we need His witness in order to
ask Jesus to be our Savior. No Holy Spirit, no conviction that we need a
Savior. The Holy Spirit never leaves you: “And I will pray the Father,
and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you
forever…” (John 14:16)

I wanted you to have these verses, as they really helped set me free
from tormenting thoughts. Use these when the enemy tells you that the
Holy Spirit has left you or you feel condemnation or hopelessness:

–        In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the
gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed
with the Holy Spirit of promise. (Ephesians 1:13)

–        For if our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart,
and knows all things. (1 John 3:20)

–        And the Lord, He is the One who goes before you. He will be
with you, He will not leave you nor forsake you; do not fear nor be
dismayed. (Deuteronomy 31:8)

If the enemy gives you any type of suicidal thoughts or feelings of
hopelessness, speak this: “I shall not die, but live, and declare the
works of the Lord.” Psalm 118:17

The enemy will present a thought to you and then try to reinforce it
was a feeling, be it emotional or physical. He will do it repeatedly.
This is called conditioning. The enemy may also present you with a
specific sin or situation in your mind to say that you’ve messed up
completely and there is no hope, but do not believe him. Remember this:
“There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ
Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.” (Romans 8:1)

If you take the bait and agree with the thought (agreeing can look like
worrying about it, fretting over it, trying to reason it out,
researching it obsessively) he now has legal ground to torment you with
it. The Holy Spirit does not reside in our feelings or intellect, but in
our spirit. If you agree with the thought, immediately apologize to
Father for partnering with the lie. So, it looks like this …

Lie comes -> speak verse out loud

Lie comes -> (if you agree with it) -> “I’m sorry Father for believing
the lie over Your Word which says ..> -> speak verse out loud

You cannot use human reasoning to take these thoughts down because you
are dealing in the spirit realm. God’s Words are the only thing that
will destroy it because they are the sword of the spirit. I saw
breakthrough within a week of doing this method.

Please keep coming to the zoom group. The spirit of condemnation needs
to be cast out. You will see a lot of relief from this and the volume
will go down on the thoughts. But speaking the Word of God eradicates
the thoughts forever.

Things That Can Block One From Hearing & Feeling God in Their Life

 

1. Lust: Your mind, thoughts and or imagination indulges in uncleanness.
2. Idolatry: If you permit anything to come between you and God, it becomes an idol. For example, your job, money, worrying….no matter what it is, if it comes before God then it is Idolatry.
3. Laziness aka “Sloth”: This is a life of ease at home mixed with NO zeal for the things of God, but plenty of time and energy for the things of this Earth.
Example: You can find your way to play video games online…in the middle of the day mind you….but you can’t seem to find the same amount of time to worship God. In other words you have time to do what you want to do, but not the things that make God happy. Typically this type of person will be all confused why God does not respond to them in prayer.
4. Over-sensitivity: Bitterness rises quickly in the hearts of some people the second somebody disagrees with them. This is a spirit, kick it out and tell it to leave in the name of Jesus. Do it the second it happens. DO NOT HARBOR AND/OR HOLD THE BITTERNESS. The Bible says that going to sleep on anger brings curses upon a person.
5. Judgmental spirit: (See Above – Virtually the Same Type Situation)
6. Gossip: All gossips are devil’s advertisers.
7. Worry: This is when you are anxious about the future. This is direct dis-trust of God and his word. In essence Worry is lack of faith and I find that nothing separates me from hearing and feeling God more than lack of faith.
8. Selfishness: This is when you ignore the interest of others and you are only interested in yourself.
Example: I cease to be amazed at how many people will receive amazing healing and/or deliverance, but will not contribute even one dime back to the ministry that helped them get healed or delivered. They will spend $1,000’s of dollars on Doctors, Drugs that don’t work, new age remedies and their own fleshly desires, but they won’t give financially for the life of them.  More times than I can count, these same people will contact me a second time… after they lose their healing or deliverance…and express confusion over why they are in the same situation again and again. It has been my experience that Americans are the worst givers of all the countries in the world. I believe a growing percentage of people in the U.S. are under a financial curse.

9. Distraction: (aka spirit of anti-Christ) This is when you are unable to focus on Christ and you find it difficult to read the Bible and gain something from it.(see # 4 and 5 above for remedy)
10. Lying: The word of God says, “Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord”.
11. Discouragement: Some people are easily discouraged. At the first sign of failure, they run away. They quit when things are hard. (Note: you cannot do anything with your own strength. God doesn’t need your efforts, but needs you to surrender to him and call on the name of Jesus. Phillipians 4: 13 Says, “I can do all things through Christ Jesus who strengthens me”.
12. Abusive tongue: Some people cannot control their temper. (See #4,5 and 9 for remedy) Anger is an evil spirit…rebuke it and kick it out of you in the name of Jesus.
13. Depression: This is when you allow despair to overtake you. You think of your problems always and withdraw from everybody when the Bible says, “I will not despair for I have believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.”
14. Fear:  Allowing Fear & Anxiety into your life is like telling God you don’t trust him. Hence, a big No-No!!
15. Procrastination: This is when you are always planning to go higher and dig deeper but always postponing the day you will start.
16. Lack of sexual control: Individuals in this category typically have a difficult time with growing near to God. See Pastor Nate for details on how to get free from sexual bondage.

The good news is that most of the above spirits can be kicked out by using the mighty name of Jesus Christ. (Supporting scriptures – Ephesians 1:21, Luke 10: 19 and Matthew 10:7-8)

Example: “Spirit of fear and anxiety get out of me in the name of Jesus Christ and go to the pit right now in the mighty name of Jesus”.

Once you cast the spirits then I suggest calling down the fruit’s of the spirit as listed in Galations 5: 22.  This will allow you to start feeling some love, joy, peace, etc…etc…

QUESTION:
How is it this singular dark force has so many attributes which are affiliated with so many types of evil workings/assaults?
ANSWER:
Because this singular dark force is
THE FALSE PROPHET

aka: Counterfeit Holy Spirit

What? Who is the false prophet? He’s not supposed to come on the scene until the end when the Antichrist takes bodily form! Wrong! These two beasts which are spoken of in Revelations 12 and 13 have been here all along. The Lord showed me that just as the spirit of antichrist has been infiltrating the systems of earth since the Garden of Eden, the false prophet has, too! But still, who IS the false prophet?

Well, if what Satan does is a counterfeit to ALL that God does, and the first beast in Revelations is the spirit of antichrist which is Satan’s counterfeit of the true Christ, then, you got it… the 2nd beast must be the counterfeit of the true Holy Spirit!

Now consider this: What are all the characteristics and ‘jobs’ of the Holy Spirit in our lives? Next, ponder for just a moment… that if there were a Holy Spirit COUNTERFEIT, would he not have the complete opposite characteristics and ‘jobs’? Would he not be on a mission to imitate all the Holy Spirit does but in a dark way that pulls us away from truth instead of INTO truth where the Holy Spirit is always guiding us? Let’s review the following points:

The Holy Spirit: 1) Points the way to Christ
The Counterfeit(Python) 1) Points the way to false gods, false religion, idolatry and AWAY from Christ

2) Is the Comforter
2) Promotes FALSE comforts (self, idolatry, co-dependence, addiction, etc)

3) Gives guidance
3) Give FALSE guidance – into snares and destructive lifestyles and cults

4) Endows whom HE pleases with HOLY spiritual gifts for the edification of the body and deliverance of the world from darkness
4) Endows whom he pleases with false powers (sorcery, witchcraft, voodoo) for the tearing down of the body and cementing the world in darkness

5) Gives divine utterance (via tongues or words through the prophets)
5) Gives FALSE utterance (psychics, diviners, unsuspecting saints)

6) Unveils/illuminates/teaches the mysteries of scripture to those born of His Spirit
6) HIDES the truth of scripture – does everything to keep us OUT of the Word by distractions, oppression, authoring confusion or mental fogginess, sickness, lethargy and apathy

7) Lifts us up, puts a spring back into our step, refreshes, invigorates
7) Weighs people down, depletes them, wears them out, oppresses

8) Convicts us of sin – Unctions us to return to holiness
8) Promotes, undermines, waters down sin – says it’s okay

9) Gives direction, dreams & visions which train, equip,or lead us into our purpose
9) Thwarts the direction God wants us to walk in by sending us down wrong paths

10) Gives divine revelation, wisdom, knowledge, etc. which promotes Holy Kingdom truths and blesses the body and the world
10) Gives FALSE revelations, false wisdom which promotes dark agendas and leads us into deeper despair and farther from God

11) Authors miracles, healings & blessingswhich solidify/demonstrateGod’s love and truth
11) Steals miracles and healings and thwarts blessings to make God look like a liar or like He doesn’t love us as much as He truly does.Performs false miracles

12) And GIVES US BREATH, BREATHES LIFE INTO US
EMPOWERS US TO REIGN VICTORIOUS!

12) And TAKES OUR BREATH FROM US,
BRINGS US TO POWERLESSNESS!

W H O D O E S T H I S S O U N D L I K E ? ? ?
YES!!!
The Spirit Of Python!

Physical & Spiritual Realities – A Self Examination

The Following Work Was Created By Jay Bartlett Ministries

Stressed unhappy business woman closed ears the hands because not want the hear any sounds and noise on blue background
So many souls are stressed, baffled & puzzled! Many are looking for answers why they are afflicted. Consider the following…..
Below is a check list, you might be interested in going through, in trying to determine, what you might be dealing with in your body and soul. This is not an exhaustive list however a excellent starting point to reach deeper into your body and soul natures and discover what might be hiding within you.
  • Consider the reality of deep brokenness in your heart –an actual dissociative identity within you?
  • Consider the reality that your heart may be held captive by a demon?
  • Consider the reality of your mind being controlled by a demon?
  • Consider the reality of your mind being controlled by a demonized soul invader?
  • Consider the reality of your mind being afflicted due to an ancestral heart part that suffers from the same?
  • Consider the reality of a demonized soul invader placing within your body and/or soul fiery darts?
  • Consider the reality of a demonic presence that was sent to you?
  • Consider the reality of pains, sicknesses, afflictions, torments could be an actual demon, soul invader, or a fiery dart?
Again, this list wasn’t designed to be exhaustive but rather a starting point to where you can begin to discover what is lurking deep within your mind, emotions and body. These are some serious spiritual considerations that will lead you on a path of deep freedom and healing! As you check off the above items I want you to actually confront these spiritual realities using the power and authority given to us all by the name of Jesus. Keep notes on what transpires. You might just be surprised what surfaces from within and the release that will take place. Again, this STEP is a key one that rarely anyone takes, but is the absolute key to getting free. Battling the demonic is messy and most in the Church do not like to address it. At best many will write a brochure or some curriculum on how to deal with demons, but when comes right down to it most have very little experience at expelling demons.  Anyway, this STEP will allow you to venture deep in the unseen realms of your life and seek the answers you have been looking for. Be pro-active and see what takes place….

Now, if you have difficulty or experience some challenges you might need someone to offer some intervention. We are here to serve you in Jesus name!

Evil Spirits and The Human Body

The Below Was Taken From Jay Bartlett Ministries

Digestion involves the breakdown of food into smaller and smaller components which can be absorbed and assimilated into the body.
I have documented many thousands of cases of demonic possession from all over the world. I have observed some interesting facts in regards to demons & human bodies!
As I look back at the many documented cases of demonic possession and demonic oppression I have observed some consistencies in what I have seen. I would like to share a few with you; with the hopes of seeing you and your family drawing more freedom within your own lives. When you begin this spiritual exploration you will receive more and more freedom and healing in Jesus name.
First off, I have seen, in many thousands of cases, where demons have specifically inhabited specific areas of a human body they have invaded. I have observed that when an evil spirit enters a human body they tend to target certain areas, distinct weaknesses. For example, I have seen demonic spirits target the digestive system, as seen in the picture above, within many humans. There are many other regions of the body they attack.
I have confronted many evil spirits, for example, within the stomach, the pancreas and even in the appendix. Why is this the case? Demons, generally speaking, target for attack, those areas of your body that have pre-existing weaknesses. Remember, demons traffic within human pain and suffering. They are cruel beings and desire to torture. So, if someone has a digestive ailment, that is within a family tree, then the demon will target those already weakened areas of the human condition within the family. They will simply try to worsen the pre-existing maladies.
I vividly recall, being in the French-speaking city of Montreal, Quebec, a few years ago, where I counseled a missionary who had traveled in from the Orient who had been afflicted by demon powers. The demons were very specific in their attacks. What I discovered was astonishing.
There were evil spirits  hiding (they had been concealed)  within his Cerebral Cortex, Frontal Lobe and within the Basal Ganglia. These are regions of the brain that we found demons attached to. They boasted how they had been hidden all of these years!
I felt like at the time, a spiritual neurologist, investigating the variousbdemonic afflictions within his brain and extracting these demons in the name of Jesus. It was challenging to navigate the regions where specific mind controlling demons were assigned  within his neurological system. Again, I observed that specific demons were within very specific areas within the body to bring destruction. Fortunately, we were able to drive out these spiritual forces and the missionary experienced some much needed relief, freedom and healing.
Somebody just needed to come along and take the time to explore. To ask questions, to probe and to minister in a deeper manner. Think of Jesus in Mark 5 and 9 where Jesus Himself delved into deeper deliverance and asked questions.
If you browse through our documented cases at our blog sites you’ll see many instances where we were driving out demons from very specific areas of the human body —from major organs of the body to cells, to optical nerves and to many other regions of the physical body.
In Luke 13 we see an example of this in the Gospels. Jesus ministered to a woman who had been bent over for 18 long years by Satan (see verse 16). Her condition was a result of a evil spirit (see verse 11). The evil spirit, it appears targeted, specifically, her back and some other areas of her body. Demons were on a specific assignment to bring specific pain and affliction. Moreover, the spirit had been there hiding for many years. Did not anyone know it was much more then an infirmity but a spirit behind the infirmity? Apparently not as the demon remained. Jesus, however, intervened and brought healing.
Jesus was triumphant over these spirits that had enslaved this woman for nearly two decades. This is the good news we bring to the world –Jesus is able bring that which is in darkness into the light– to heal and set the captives free. He is able to heal those with tormenting spirits within specific areas of one’s body.
Consider the need to investigate to see whether a specific ailment you have is a demon spirit that has been concealing it’s work within your body. Consider the reality that it has been passed down to you through your ancestral bloodline. Consider the need to be pro-active and explore the spiritual realities that might be at work within your life.

In Part II we will look at the specific areas of the soul nature demons attach themselves to. You’ll be surprised at the multiplicity of regions within the invisible realm of your life that they work within.
