Fasting and prayer take that heart of stone and makes it a heart of flesh which is the aim of fasting. A tender heart (flesh) is humble enough to listen and be reasoned with. When our heart is tender before God, He is able to bring true transformation.  Remember, He is the "POTTER" and we are the "CLAY". If you allow yourself to become clay in the hands of God, He will transform you into the kind of pottery He wants you to be. And it does not take God forever to make us into His kind of pottery. It only takes God a moment. One moment in the hands of God is equal to years of personal development. God can do in a moment what would take us a lifetime to accomplish. Therefore, when you have those moments where your heart is breaking in worship of God, you are "the me He wants to see". With God, it is always the me He want to see before it becomes the best me I want to see!

If you want to see a quantum shift in your personal and spiritual life, start praying what God has promised! God's Word is his integrity. Heaven and earth will disappear before God allows His Word to become irrelevant, powerless, meaningless, no effect, or inaccurate. God's Word creates, destroys, uproots, tear-down, build-up,multiply, and the list go's on! Prayer and fasting is a powerful combination when they are done correctly. Therefore, add devotion to your 21 days to a New You program. I recommend using the Psalm's as a prayer pattern. Start by finding a Psalms and read the entire chapter as a prayer; add your name and your situation where you feel its appropriate to make the prayer personal, then get ready for a burst of divine energy and inspiration. It's one of my secret weapons to overcome discouragement, doubt, failure, and many other emotional storms that appear suddenly sometimes.

When we gather together with other believers to worship God and fellowship with the Holy Spirit, we experience the presence of God. During an extended fast, the experience is stronger and His anointing is more powerful. Fasting and praying is about getting a stronger connection with God so that you can hear clearly His voice and walk in the direction that the Holy Spirit is leading. Whenever believers want to do God's will, their anointing will be more powerful than those who don't and won't. So remember the Lord's Day and make every effort to gather together with other believers to share your experience with the 21 day of fasting to a new you and to create a stronger cooperate anointing that ushers in the presence of God with signs and wonders. When the house of God has more people who hear God's voice and will respond to His will than those who are satisfied with the routine of Church, that church will began to experience true revival.
