SERIES: MYSTERIES OF FASTING AND PRAYER

Scripture Reading:

“Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you.”

— Matthew 7:7

��️ MEDITATION

There are doors in the spirit realm that respond only to persistence and depth.

Fasting and prayer move the believer from asking to seeking, and from seeking to knocking. Each level demands greater focus, sacrifice, and spiritual intensity.

Many opportunities remain closed not because God is unwilling, but because spiritual engagements has not yet reached the required depth.

Fasting intensifies hunger, prayer sustains pursuit, and persistence produces access.

When fasting and prayer are combined, closed doors open, delayed answers are released, and divine access is granted.

Heaven responds to seekers, not spectators.
