Once a father took his son to the Lord Jesus to heal him, but the Master was not in the moment, only the disciples were, but the spiritual sickness was so great that even the disciples could not cast out the demons. The disciples did not understand why they could not cast out, they went to Jesus, the Messiah answered: "But this caste of demons is expelled only by prayer and fasting." (Matthew 17:21) Understand that it is not that Jesus fasted the moment he cast out the devil, but that He practiced the act of fasting. Fasting means to humble ourselves in the presence of God, "Then I proclaimed a fast there by the river Aava, that we might humble ourselves before the face of our God, to ask a happy journey for us, for our children, and for all our goods." (Ezra 8:21). The priest commanded the people to fast.

"For I was ashamed to ask the king, the army, and the horsemen, to defend us from the enemy by the way: for we had spoken unto the king, saying, The hand of our God is upon all them that seek him for their good; his wrath against all that forsake him: and we fasted, and asked this of our God, and he was moved by our prayers. " (Ezra 8:22, 23).

The prophet had free access with the king and the Lord, but he knew that to have protection and victory one must have the blessing of God, and so he asked the people to fast. The Lord is speaking that He will bless your life, the life of all your family and all your possessions, amen ?! God bless your day!
