Men of Issachar

Fasting is extremely popular right now as a health hack, but did you know it's primarily a spiritual discipline?It's extremely powerful, as attested to in the Scriptures. From Jesus' 40 day fast, to when He tells us "when you fast" (Matthew 6), to the Prophet Daniel's 3 week fast, which we're actually using as the basis for today's discussion. It's important, no doubt.But how many of us have actually fasted...especially for spiritual reasons?In this episode we go deep into Daniel 10 to discern what's going on "behind the scenes" when we fast, why it's so powerful, and how it impacts the spiritual world around us.In This Episode:0:00 Intro11:53 Daniel 10 - Spiritual Fasting21:04 The reality of the spiritual realm34:03 The heart of fasting41:29 The enemy intercepts our prayers47:40 Spiritual princes56:12 Spiritual warfare lessons from the Archangel Michael1:06:16 The demonic powers are overthrown1:10:09 Rebuking demons1:16:26 Fasting and Spiritual WarfareResources:As For Me + My House on IG: https://www.instagram.com/asformeandmyhousepodcast/Subscribe to the Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@asformeandmyhousepodcast

We're jumping in the deep end, folks. Our first topic on the Men of Issachar is Spiritual Warfare, what it is, and how to fight it.In this introductory episode, we go pretty deep on the details of what we even mean by spiritual warfare, what the spiritual realm actually is, who it is we're actually wrestling against, HOW we're to fight back, and then finish up with some encouragement and reminders of the Lord's tender mercy, kindness, and gentleness.We'll be tackling this from a variety of different angles as we go forward, so make sure you listen to this to get the foundation of what we're talking about, because this might challenge your thoughts and beliefs on some important things in your spiritual walk as a Christian.Let us know what you think!In This Episode:0:00 Intro1:09 What is spiritual warfare?8:01 Spiritual reality17:17 Who we're truly wrestling against25:37 How to battle spiritual forces41:55 Prayer45:28 When you doubt52:08 What's nextResources:The Unseen Realm by Michael Heiser: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FVBMC39Z/Angels by Michael Heiser: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07GJWPXC3/Demons by Michael Heiser: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B088C559H7/As For Me + My House on IG: https://www.instagram.com/asformeandmyhousepodcast/Subscribe to the Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@asformeandmyhousepodcast
