The Word Of God Comes First
Too Much Fasting Yet, Ignoring The Word And The Spirit Is Not Biblical.
Hello welcome to another message titled The Word Of God Comes First.
So if you are always fasting but you refuse to read the Bible, refuse to meditate on the word of God, refuse to know the word of God, and refuse to have fellowship with the Holy Spirit, then it is time for you to re-examine what you know.
You can know something, yet what you know may not be in complete conformity with the word of God.
Jesus fasted. Paul fasted. But they were filled with the word of God and led by the Holy Spirit. Jesus Himself is the Word of God, so how can someone ignore the word of God, ignore the Holy Spirit, and still think fasting alone is enough?
Remember that pagans also fast. Idol worshipers fast. Many religions fast. So what differentiates a believer is not fasting alone, but living by the word of God and walking with the Holy Spirit.
If you are always fasting yet you refuse to spend time with the word of God, then the enemy can easily gain an upper hand because the word of God takes precedence over everything else. The world itself was created by the word of God.
If you ignore the word of God, you ignore Jesus. If you ignore the Holy Spirit, you ignore your Helper.
There are people who chase the shadow while neglecting the real thing. Fasting is good, but it is a means to an end. The purpose is deeper fellowship with God, greater obedience, spiritual growth, and alignment with His word.
Jesus spoke the word constantly. Everything that came out of His mouth reflected the scriptures. Paul also spoke by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. They had wisdom, revelation, and spiritual understanding.
Fasting can never replace the word of God because something physical can never replace what is spiritual.
So if all someone knows is “fasting, fasting, fasting” just to get blessings while neglecting the word of God, there is something wrong with that order.
There is a divine order.
Fasting is not wrong, but fasting must never take the place of the word of God or the Holy Spirit. Put the word of God first.
Remember Mary and Martha. Martha was busy serving and trying to honor Jesus, but Mary sat at His feet listening to His words.
Jesus said Mary had chosen the most important thing.
Martha was not doing something evil, but she had not chosen the highest priority at that moment.
In the same way, fasting is good, but the word of God is the most important thing because the word of God is spirit and life.
Those who choose the word of God have chosen the most important thing.
So if you are always fasting while neglecting the word of God, you are focusing on the activity while neglecting the foundation.
The word of God must come first.
Meditate on the scriptures. Study the Bible deeply. Fellowship with the Holy Spirit. Let fasting support your spiritual life, not replace your relationship with God.
May the Lord give you wisdom, understanding, and spiritual hunger for His word in Jesus’ name, Amen.
Have a good day. Remain blessed.

Prayer For Divine Favour, Open Doors & Victory Prayer – Laura Bon
Carry the Fire of God!
The gates of hell will not prevail against you.
This is God’s will for you.
Pray! Pray fervently with persistence and faith.
Wait upon the Lord to carry God’s fire.
Demons will flee in terror. No demon or witch can withstand the presence, glory, power, fire, or blood of God.
Pay the price to continually put on the fire of God through persistent prayer.
Revelation 3:18 says,
“I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see.”
Embrace spiritual discipline. To buy is to trade your spiritual laziness and worldly distractions for the spiritual discipline of constantly waiting upon the Lord to seek His face and power.
You will seek God and find Him when you seek Him with all your heart.
God promised that you will find Him. You will experience His visitation, mercy, and fire.
He said,
Jeremiah 29:12–14 NKJV
“Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart. I will be found by you, says the LORD, and I will bring you back from your captivity.”
God wants you to experience the fullness of life.
He wants you to carry His presence and fire in the highest degree and dimension here on earth.
He wants you to be a king and prince on earth. When you manifest as a son of God, carrying His fire and power, you will do exploits for Him. The gates of hell will not prevail against you. Rather, you will prevail against the gates of hell and be a terror to demons and the kingdom of darkness.
Demons screamed in terror and ran away from Jesus because Jesus was filled and surrounded by the presence, fire, and power of God.
Stop playing. Take your rightful place today. Carry God’s fire and power, and rule over demons and witches.
May God Himself teach your hands to fight and make war, in Jesus name, amen.

May God bless you with godly destiny relationships, in Jesus name, amen.
DO THEY LOVE YOU—OR DO THEY JUST NEED YOU?
Does someone truly love you if they are with you because they depend on you and need you?
Or do they simply love what you provide?
Those are two very different questions.
How do you know when someone truly loves you—and when you are simply needed, useful, or convenient?
The answer is deeper than most people think.
Love chooses. Dependency needs.
Love values the person. Dependency values the benefit.
Biblical love seeks the good of the other person.
Jesus loved people who could give Him nothing.
Loyalty reveals genuine love.
Mutual dependence is healthy. Codependence is not.
How do you recognize genuine love?

Develop a Deeper Passion for God’s Presence
May God fill you with a deeper passion for His presence.
May the Holy Spirit give you an unquenchable hunger for God.
May God make you a yielded vessel for His glory.
May God fill your cup until it overflows with His presence and power, in Jesus name.
The Holy Spirit wants passion. He wants love. We were created by love and for love. Your heart was created to be filled with the love of God. God’s presence and fire is His love.
God is looking for passionate believers whose greatest pursuit is His presence. God is looking for fervent, passionate lovers of God like Jesus and David.
Become a yielded vessel. Become a man or woman after God’s heart.
Nothing satisfies the human heart like the presence of God. Only the presence of God can make you truly happy and be filled with all the fruits of the Holy Spirit. You can’t live without God and His presence. You cannot be truly happy and fruitful without the presence and fire of God.
God delights in filling hungry hearts with His glory and presence. He wants hunger and passion.
May your heart continually burn with love for Jesus, and may God’s presence become your greatest delight all the days of your life. #prayers

Stop asking, “Do I love them?” Start asking, “Are they God’s perfect will for my life?”
Samson loved Delilah, but Delilah was not God’s perfect will for Samson.
Emotions can be very deceptive, and emotions can die, but a heart dedicated to God’s will sticks by you like that friend that sticks closer than a brother and that brother that is born for adversity.
Find out from the Holy Spirit if they are part of God’s plan and purpose for your life. Be purpose driven. Jesus and Paul were purpose driven.
When you become passionate about your destiny and purpose and making sure you are surrounded by your destiny partners like Jonathan, the apostles, and Joseph the husband of Mary, your relationships become very sweet. They glorify the Lord and please the Holy Spirit.
May God visit you mightily and plant your God ordained destiny relationships and spouses into your life, in Jesus name, amen.
This is a strong and important message on balance in spiritual disciplines. I appreciate how you emphasize that fasting is valuable, but it must never replace the Word of God or fellowship with the Holy Spirit. The comparison with Mary and Martha is especially fitting, and the reminder about divine priority is clear and grounded in Scripture.
