Fasting for Breakthrough and Deliverance

by John Eckhardt

I entreat Your favor on behalf of my children with my whole heart (Ps. 119:58). Let Your favor be for my children as a cloud of the latter rain (Prov. 16:15). Let Your favor be upon my children’s lives as the dew upon the grass (Prov. 19:12). My children choose Your loving favor rather than...

Sozo, which is used one hundred ten times in the New Testament, is originally a Greek word meaning, “to save or make well or whole.”

or her family by walking with God the way Abraham did. A covenant believer can walk in obedience and faith. A covenant believer can intercede on his family’s behalf and expect God to heal and deliver. God hears the prayers of the righteous. He is friends with the faithful. The full measure of salvation is extended to your family because of covenant.

God, You are the faithful God, the covenant-keeping God. You keep covenant and loyalty to a thousand generations. I have a covenant with You through the blood of Jesus, which provides salvation, forgiveness, and blessing to my life. You promised Abraham that through his seed all families of the earth would be blessed. Jesus is the promised seed, and through Him my family can be blessed. I come before You on the behalf of my family, and ask for Your salvation, protection, deliverance, and healing to manifest in my family. I pray for anyone in my family who is not in covenant with You to be drawn to You by Your Spirit and to accept Jesus as Lord and Savior. I pray for covenant blessing to come to my family and that my family would benefit from covenant blessings. Have mercy upon my family, and let Your lovingkindness and tender mercy be over us. Let Your grace and favor be upon my family. Let my family in this generation be blessed, and let generations to come walk in covenant with You and be blessed.

Lord, save my family. Lord, let Your Word come to every family member, and let them believe. I bind and rebuke every demon that has been assigned to my family members to prevent them from receiving salvation. Lord, let salvation come to my household. Let my household be like the household of Obed-Edom (2 Sam. 6:11).

DECLARE THE SALVATION OF THE LORD OVER YOUR FAMILY

Prayer, fasting, and often martyrdom are necessary to destroy a behemoth.

100 POINTS ON WHICH TO PRAY AND FAST FOR YOUR CITY

PRAYERS AGAINST TERRORISM

All believers minister salvation, healing, and deliverance to others. Fasting is one of the ways we approve ourselves as ministers of God. God’s ministers are expected to fast.

Food is what gives us physical strength. When you fast you are depriving yourself of what gives you physical strength. You are in essence saying, “The Lord is the strength of my life.”

I recommend fasting when you feel tired and burnt out, especially if this is due to ministering.

Fasting also helps release visions and dreams.

Fasting will release the power of the Holy Spirit for the miraculous to occur.

Fasting increases the anointing and the power of the Holy Spirit in the life of a believer.

Fasting releases the anointing for miracles to happen.

Every spirit of dishonor operating against me in my hometown, I bind and rebuke you in the name of Jesus. Every spirit of jealousy, envy operating against me in my hometown, I bind and rebuke you in the name of Jesus.

All spirits trying to hold my past against me in my hometown, be rebuked in the name of Jesus.

One of the main keys to maintaining deliverance that is obtained after a season of fasting and prayer is by activating the spiritual gift of self-control. Fasting and prayer give you the discernment and strength you need to be vigilant in identifying and eradicating the areas of your life that were out of control. Do not go back to a lifestyle where you are easily carried away,

To maintain your deliverance, you need to have self-control in these areas:

Thinking.

Appetites.

Speaking.

Sexual character.

Emotions.

Temper.

Here’s how you gain and maintain self-control, thereby maintain your freedom from bondage:

Read God’s Word daily. 2. Find a group of Bible-believing people, preferably a church, and regularly meet with them for worship, study, and ministry. 3. Pray with the understanding and in tongues. 4. Place the blood of Jesus on yourself and your family. 5. Determine as nearly as you can which spirits have been cast out of you. Make a list for these areas Satan will try to recapture. 6. The way demons gain reentry is through a lax, undisciplined thought life. The mind is the battlefield. You must cast down imaginations, and bring every thought into the obedience of Christ (2 Cor. 10:5). 7. Pray to the Father fervently, asking Him to make you alert, sober, and vigilant against wrong thoughts (1 Pet. 5:8–9).

8. The demons signal their approach to you by the fact that the old thought patterns you once had are now trying to return to you. As soon as this happens, immediately rebuke them. As quickly as possible state verbally that you refuse them. 9. You have the authority to loose the angels of the Lord to battle the demons (Heb. 1:14; Matt. 18:18). Bind the demons and loose upon them the spirits of destruction (1 Chron...
