One is calamities of life, where fasting can change the calamities of life. Calamities of life are the things that come unexpected. It's the challenges that we can experience in our life. It's the problems that we are facing when you start to fast, something begins to happen. These challenges invite the presence and the power of the Holy Spirit to see change in that area of your life. Ezra was one day a cop bearer and he was... Ezra was asking the king for the money and the Jewish people gave him some money also wealthy Jewish people to rebuild Jerusalem. And somebody recorded that Ezra, at the time when he was going back to Jerusalem, was carrying 25 tons of silver to 7,500 pounds of gold. Loaded with wealth, loaded with blessings from the Jewish people to take to Jerusalem, to begin to help Jerusalem. And he doesn't have an army, he wants to go to Jerusalem, he doesn't have any protection. And Ezra does this instead of asking the king for the hookups. He goes in and tells the people he's going with. He says, guys, we will declare a three day fast. And during these three days we're going to implore God of Heaven. So he will give us protection against the bandits and against the gangs and against the people who want to attack us and take away our wealth. And the Bible says, when they fasted, God prevented the calamity. God protected them and everything went smoothly. When you fast, the challenges that you may experience, maybe you have something coming against you. You cannot change on your own. Maybe something is risen against your family or against your health. Maybe something is risen against your marriage or against your finances. When you say, you know what I've prayed, I've done everything but Lord, what I do now is I humble myself before you. You will see God's intervention. You might say, why is this so important? Because the Bible says, biblical definition of humility is fasting. It's scriptures, it says, David says, I humble myself with fasting. This is what happens. When you humble yourself before God, Bible says, God gives you grace. Grace is unmerited favor. Grace is this force that helps you to get ahead, to get out and to get through. That grace is not given to people, listen up, who need it. That grace is given to people who are humble and the best way to humble yourself is by fasting. When you fast, you open the door for God's supernatural intervention in the area of your life and your situation. I've seen this the first hand with our pastor. When many years ago, when our church kind of hit a very rough patch and at the same time, things were very challenging in his family. Things were very challenging and marked the crash at the time. It was kind of like hell broke loose on everybody. Things were very difficult in his business. Things were very difficult with his real estate. Things were very difficult with his job. Things were very difficult with some of the children in his family. The pastor instead of panicking, instead of throwing a fit, what he did is he started to fast. He went for 40 days fast just on water. During that fast, things were giving a thing past and then he went again for another 40 days of fasting. Nothing changed immediately. Then he goes to the ministry of Tbjasra and out of nowhere out of the 10,000 people, God prophesies to him through Tbjasra. Within a short period of time, out of nowhere, I get a phone call upstairs where Gary and Fiona, the ministers of Tbjasra, reach us and they happen to call exactly at the time that we pick up the phone. As you know, we don't pick up the phone at the church. We pick up the phone that come with the anointing water. Next thing that happens is that there is the connection that happens with this ministry which begins to bring deep cleansing, spiritual cleansing in our church. People look at that and they say, oh, that's a coincidence. How come a small church like yours at the time connected with Tbjasra? See, nothing happens and accident. Fasting and prayer of many years is never lost. And it might be not, we may be benefiting today. You are here, but you don't understand. You think you came here because somebody invited you. But there was a shift that happened in a spiritual world because when you are in a calamity and you are down to nothing, you begin to humble yourself before God. And God brought a change. And next thing that happened is that when Martin went to be there and then pastor's son, the one that he was interceding for, God delivered. And then the finances begin to change. And then the children's finances where you see them now opening businesses and you see God's blessing. And you may stand on the side and you say, well, you know, they are just so not cool. But you don't know when men humbles himself. God releases grace. God doesn't release grace when you need it. God releases grace when you humble yourself for it. I want to tell you something that thinks the fast things and the prayers of our church from the 15 years ago, now one of them have went in vain. All the time of standing with the posters, all of these prayers that we pray here and Glenn, we are not praying them just for now. We are not praying for people today. We are praying for people 20, 30, 50, 60, 70 years after this. We are not just praying for now. We are believing that we have the Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit heals through us, moves through us now. But the prayers there are being prayed for. They are still being deposited for the generations yet unborn. Okay, somebody say amen.
