The Lord is calling Living Word International Ministries to turn the tide on the spirit of darkness. This will be a time of repentance, rebirthing, and refreshing for Living Word and the Covenant Fellowship. It is time to go on the attack against the powers of darkness and spiritual wickedness. It is time to shake the darkness and disrupt the devil's programs; a time to lock down our cities against the powers of darkness and possess everything God has spoken to us. This is wartime, a time to mobilize the church and Covenant Fellowship to prayer and fasting. This will be a time of true repentance, consecration to the Lord our God, and financial breakthrough as we go on the offense, push back the kingdom of darkness, and place a demand on our inheritance.

Praying and fasting are godly principles that are very relevant and necessary for the body of Christ. The chief aim is not to highlight deprivation, but rather humility, dedication, and consecration to our heavenly Father by becoming sensitive to the leading and direction of the Holy Spirit and the spirit realm, pushing back the powers of darkness, and breaking demonic strongholds. Through fasting we humble ourselves and submit our wills to God. Subsequently, we experience tremendous breakthroughs including freedom from bondages and sin, restoration and healing, financial release, spiritual growth, and so much more!

During this time of praying and fasting, here are a few things to implement into your daily routine for receiving the best results. If you find yourself struggling at times, a good practice would be to watch teachings and testimonials of the powerful benefits of and breakthroughs from fasting.

Begin to seek the Holy Scriptures to learn more about the person of the Holy Spirit. The Book of Acts would be a great place to start.
Deliberately separate yourself from ungodly and unwholesome influences.
Make time for God every day by withdrawing from your normal routines and seeking His heart through prayer and reading His Word.
Pray in your spiritual language throughout the day. If you have not received the gift of praying in other tongues, ask the Holy Spirit to fill you during this time.
Let this be a time of consecration to Your Heavenly Father by limiting or avoiding, when possible, computers, time spent on the phone with family and friends, watching television, electronic gaming, listening to secular music, and all forms of entertainment and social media.
Confess your sins. As you fast, repent and allow God to show you what is in your heart and any actions, attitudes, or characteristics that are not pleasing to Him.
Spend much time building your Spirit man versus building your carnal man, particularly by spending time in God's presence and meditating on His Word.
Speak the Word of God over your family, health, finances, situations, and circumstances. There is great power in decreeing the promises of God.
Worship, worship, worship! Be passionate about vertical worship to Your Heavenly Father during your time of fasting. Set aside time to permeate the atmosphere with praise, worship, and adoration to your Creator.
