Story4.5 out of 5 stars 101
Matthew 17:21 tells us that there are some spirits in a person, region, or nation that cannot be overcome without fasting. Many believers struggle with certain limitations that they cannot seem to break through. A revelation of the power of fasting will result in victories that would not be ordinarily obtained. A life of consistent fasting will cause many victories to manifest. God's will is for every believer to live a life of victory with nothing being impossible. There is freedom from the torment of the enemy!

Story5 out of 5 stars 130
The human heart was created with a great capacity to love. But along with that comes a great capacity to feel pain. There is no denying that those who love us, who are closest to us, can wound us the most profoundly. That kind of pain can be difficult, if not impossible, to overcome. And it can feel even more impossible to continue loving in the face of it. Yet that is exactly what we are called to do. Sharing his own story of pain, pastor and best-selling author Jentezen Franklin shows us how to find the strength, courage, and motivation to set aside the hurt, see others as God sees them, and reach out in love.

There is an appetite for God. And it can be awakened. I invite you to turn from the dulling effects of food and the dangers of idolatry, and to say with some simple fast: "This much, O God, I want you."Our appetites dictate the direction of our lives - whether it be the cravings of our stomachs, the passionate desire for possessions or power, or the longings of our spirits for God.

Fasting is not about hunger, and it is certainly not about starving. Fasting is about changing your life so that you can do more with less time. Fasting is about supercharging your body's regeneration systems and looking younger. It's about altering your mind and charting a course forward that results in the ability to convert your newfound discipline and clarity. You may look to fasting for the purpose of losing weight, but you are going to get a lot more.

Millions are satisfied to sit through hour-long, weekly religious services. Millions more have left the church, brokenhearted and cynical. But God is waking up his people - people who will risk everything and sacrifice anything to become the dynamic, powerful church seen in Scripture. We Are Church calls Christ-followers, young and old, to hold fast to their biblical roots while seeking radical change. Scripture promises an exuberant and unstoppable church. That wondrous early church of acts can be our reality today.

For many believers, operating in the gifts of the Spirit has become a normal way of life. Yet there is one often-misunderstood gift crucial to the well-being of the church: the gift of discerning spirits. This gift is the powerful supernatural ability to hear and see into the spiritual realm, yet many people who have it may think they are crazy. Finding no help from the church, some have turned to medical doctors and actually been diagnosed with a mental disorder. Jennifer Eivaz, a trusted prophetic voice, has been there, and she offers hope, healing, and practical help.

Of course, both Superman and kryptonite are fictional. But spiritual kryptonite is not. This book offers answers to why so many people - and the churches they attend - are unable to experience the divine strength that was evident among the first-century Christians. In Killing Kryptonite, John Bevere reveals what this kryptonite is and how to break free from its bondage.

l truly like this book, it's a must have
- By Terri Booth on 03-21-18
Publisher's Summary
Those who seek God through fasting can expect tremendous rewards both for their personal lives and the church. They will see breakthroughs in many areas, such as healing, finances, bondages broken, and children set free.
Jesus Himself fasted because He knew some supernatural realities could not be released in any other way. For that reason alone, Christians should make fasting a common practice.

Absolutely amazing! Life changing!
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes, see comments below.
Any additional comments?
As a 46 year old that’s been a believer since age 17, my life changed again in 2001 when I decided to actually READ the Bible. I began a 1 year plan to read the whole Bible. That changed my life and I decided to do that for the rest of my life. My life is good, I am blessed beyond my understanding. However, in seeking to know the Creator more, and looking for new breakthroughs in my life, a friend recommended this book. I have never been a good “faster”. I like to say I’m slow at fasting. :) While listening to this book, the Lord touched me, the Holy Spirit spoke to my heart and I knew this is the new thing I need to make part of my life. I haven’t even begun my fast, yet the Lord has already started blessing me in new ways. I highly recommend this book if you seek breakthrough in your life. “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.”

I have never, never heard fasting described as I've heard here. In plain English, Pastor Franklin explains what fasting is, why it is necessary and how to do it- with options! And the testimonials of those who got in the will of God on the fast! I am sincerely thankful for this work of love.

This man fasted and this book is evidence
I took upon myself to listen to this book one morning and the inspiration from book led me into a 24 hour water only fast. An amazing listen, I did not even know who this man was before listening to this book but have discovered to new favorite author. I am not working on more of his stuff, the narrator is good and the content is EXCELLENT. I am recommending this book to everyone I know. I have listened to this book, portions of it three times. 6 STars aren't enough.
Well done good and faithful Servant. Your fasting is demonstrative in your writing.

We did it, You can too!
Would you listen to Fasting again? Why?
Yes, and we have listened again & again. We have shared it. Franklin brings God's beauty and desire about fasting, right into your heart. We wanted what God wanted for us, and it became more clear & the fasting was easier then ever before. I believe because our hearts were in line with His, God's heart. Thank you J. Franklin. We are forever grateful.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Absolutely, tried to, but ended up listening it in three sittings. There is so much here. Then went back to write out some personal thoughts and take away 8 pages of notes. Now after having listened completely through to FASTING 4+ times our hearts & life's our changed regarding this very important and special discipline.
Any additional comments?
This book was a new set of eyes for us (our entire family) on Fasting & Prayer. Amazing in-site into God's gracious view of fasting.

Very good Christian book
This book explores the spiritual aspects of fasting for Christians and defines why fasting should be part of the life of the Christian.
There is a lot of practical advice on how to go about it and what to expect from it. There is a good deal of exposition of scriptures showing how fasting was used by many more Bible heroes than we might at first call to mind. It is a thoroughly Bible-based introduction to fasting suitable for a wide range of Christians of most denominations.
Right now fasting for dietary purposes has become very popular with things like the Intermediate Fasting diet. This book underlines how fasting for spiritual purposes differs from purely dietary fasting, although the two do not necessarily contradict each other. A fast is like an "all day prayer" as Jentezen puts it, and greatly serves to focus the mind on God and increase our intimacy with God. This gives us access to far greater blessings than just a dietary fast.
This is a book of discipleship, aimed at those who are Christians. It has nothing in it which would offend others who fast, but is written to readers on the assumption that they are already committed Christians. The author also makes it clear that fasting in no way defines whether or not a person is saved. This is a way of increasing blessing and intimacy with God and a more powerful prayer life for a person already saved by believing in Jesus.

Great reminder of the call of fasting.
I have read a lot on fasting but really enjoyed this book. Especially the notion of the rule of firsts.
Fasting the first of your year so the rest can be blessed.

Excellent resource
I loved this book. Even better on audio where I can go about my day and have it minister to me. This is the best book around on fasting. The revelation it has brought me has strengthened my faith and I am seeing great breakthrough through fasting.
