COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Prayer, or prayer & fasting, by the individual, and especially by the community or body of God's people, can be a very effective form of spiritual warfare! This is first clearly seen in the Tanakh (Torah, Prophets, & Writings). Later, it is clearly seen in the New Covenant Writings. The mainstay prayer that Yeshua (Jesus) taught His disciples ends with "but deliver us from the evil one". Immediately following this prayer, Yeshua says "when you fast"! Such prayer, or prayer & fasting, demonstrates profound dependent trust in God and functions as a very specific call for God to act, intervene, or protect. The people of God have always been characterized by a robust prayer and fasting life. Is that us? Come discover or rediscover the power of prayer and fasting as a normative part of the way of life of the people of God!
