40 Days Fasting Prayers 2025 - Day 22 - God Sized Vision

Acts 22: 28, 29

Thought for Day 22

Day 22: Fasting to fight against brothers

Judges 20:26

Then all the people of Israel, the whole army, went up and came to Bethel and wept. They sat there before the LORD and fasted that day until evening, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.

Some of the bizarre and ungodly events took place during the time of judges in Israel. A Levite was traveling through city of Gibeah (city of Benjamin tribe) with his concubine and servant. But people will not receive him….instead they wanted to molest him. But he sends his concubine to them and men of that city will rape and murder that concubine. He goes to his place and cuts the women’s body into 12 pieces and sends messages to all the tribes of Israel. Their rage results in “inter tribal war” among God’s people. In two days Israelites will lose 40,000 people in war against Gibeah.

After that they fast and pray.

With Lord’s guidance….they will go to war and will win a decisive war against their brethren.

Lord is not partial God….he brings justice even if they are his own people!!!

1 Pet 1:15-16

but as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, since it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.”

40 Days Fasting Prayers 2025 - Day 21 - To Whom the Lord Commits Himself

Jn.2:23-25

Thought for Day 21

Day 21: Fast that was NOT accepted by God

2 Sam 12:16

David therefore sought God on behalf of the child. And David fasted and went in and lay all night on the ground.

One of the most negative remarks on David’s life was that of iniquity he did against Uriah (Bathsheba’s Husband). Iniquity is defined as a deliberate mistake with scheming against the Law of the Lord. Consequence for that was curse from God himself. Because of that iniquity…Bathsheba became pregnant. Lord said…that David’s wives will be given to other men and his child with Bathsheba will die.

David fasted and prayed…..but Lord didn’t accept his prayer.

Sometimes, when we sin knowingly and deliberately…..even though we fast and pray that will not be accepted.

We cannot take the grace of God for granted.

Deuteronomy 4:24

For the LORD your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.

40 Days Fasting Prayers 2025 - Day 20 - Radical Sanctification

Thought for Day 20

Day 20: Fasting for sanctification

1 Sam 7:6

So they gathered at Mizpah and drew water and poured it out before the LORD and fasted on that day and said there, “We have sinned against the LORD.” And Samuel judged the people of Israel at Mizpah.

People of Israel, during the time of Judges, did whatever was right in their sight. Lord handed them over to Philistines. They defeated Israel and took Ark of Covenant. Lord punished Philistines and they sent the ark back. People of Israel celebrated and thought theirs would be victory. But for 20 years….they were defeated continuously. Then with Samuel’s instructions….they fasted and prayed and asked the Lord for his forgiveness. Right then Lord gave them decisive victory over Philistines. They erected a stone at Mizpah and called it Ebenezer (hitherto Lord has helped us).

Fasting prayer for sanctification brought help from the Lord!!!!

Are you seeking help from the Lord???

1 Sam 7:13

So the Philistines were subdued and did not again enter the territory of Israel. And the hand of the LORD was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel.

40 Days Fasting Prayers 2025 - Day 19 - Walk Circumspectly

Eph.5:15,16

Thought for Day 19

Day 19: Fasting for interceding

Deu 9:18

Then I lay prostrate before the LORD as before, forty days and forty nights. I neither ate bread nor drank water, because of all the sin that you had committed, in doing what was evil in the sight of the LORD to provoke him to anger.

Moses first fasted 40 days for receiving law and instructions. When he came down from mountain, he saw people of God indulging in Idolatry. They made golden calf and were worshipping with naked dances. After an episode of anger and breaking of original tablets with law….he fasted again for 40days and 40 nights.

This time he fasted for interceding for his people. Did you notice….the people involved in idolatry of any kind don’t usually know that they are doing that. And they usually turn against you.

You have to pray for the people that are hating you and doing things that are contrary to your liking.

Do you have any such person in your life?

Intercession is godly!!!

Deu 9:19

For I was afraid of the anger and hot displeasure that the LORD bore against you, so that he was ready to destroy you. But the LORD listened to me that time also.

40 Days Fasting Prayers 2025 - Day 18 - Number Our Days

Thought for Day 18

Day 18: First ever Fasting

Ex 24:18

Moses entered the cloud and went up on the mountain. And Moses was on the mountain forty days and forty nights.

Israelites went into Egypt as one family (70 people) and now they came out as a nation (3 million people). Lord used Moses to lead them out. Thus far they lived as slaves. Going forward they have to live in liberty as God’s people. Lord asked Moses to come up the mountain and he taught him how to live.

That started with instruction in fasting (lesson by experience) and sanctification.

He was instructed about moral character.

And he was instructed about family life, life in society.

And he was instructed about worship.

While fasting he received all these. Even for us….we can get Lord’s direction in fasting and prayer.

Deu 9:10

And the LORD gave me the two tablets of stone written with the finger of God, and on them were all the words that the LORD had spoken with you on the mountain out of the midst of the fire on the day of the assembly.

40 Days Fasting Prayers 2025 - Day 17 - Faint Not

Thought for Day 17

Day 17: National Fasting!!

2 Chro 20:3

Then Jehoshaphat was afraid and set his face to seek the LORD, and proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah.

Judah was being attacked by 3 nations. The 3 nation alliance tried to attack before. But Lord prevented them. This time He allowed.

Judah was outnumbered and powerless.

Fear came over them. King Jehoshaphat called for a nationwide fast and all the people (including children) fasted and sought Lord’s help. After fasting prayer they got assurance that Lord will help them and actually “The battle belongs to the Lord”. When we fight our battles on our knees….Lord will fight our battles on his feet!!!

We just have to gather the spoils while praising.

What a way to fight our battles!!!

2 Chro 20:22

And when they began to sing and praise, the LORD set an ambush against the men of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah, so that they were routed.

40 Days Fasting Prayers 2025 - Day 16 - Revival through John the Baptist

Thought for Day 16

Day 16: Fasting and Revelation

Dan 10:2-5

In those days I, Daniel, was mourning for three weeks. I ate no delicacies, no meat or wine entered my mouth, nor did I anoint myself at all, for the full three weeks.

On the twenty-fourth day of the first month, as I was standing on the bank of the great river (that is, the Tigris) I lifted up my eyes and looked, and behold, a man clothed in linen, with a belt of fine gold from Uphaz around his waist…..

Daniel fasted for three weeks. He and his team were standing by the river….and he received revelation. In this fasting what did he receive?

Firstly, he got the revelation of the Lord himself. Can you imagine how it would be to SEE the Lord in all his radiance??!!!!

Secondly, he received the revelation about end days. Even though he was a full time government official….Lord Jesus himself called him a “prophet”.

Thirdly, he received strength…..physically and spiritually.

What a fasting that would have been!!!!!

Dan 10:12

Then he said to me, “Fear not, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your heart to understand and humbled yourself before your God, your words have been heard, and I have come because of your words.

40 Days Fasting Prayers 2025 - Day 15 - Rejected Confidences

Thought for Day 15

Day 15: Fasting for Lord’s Mercies

Dan 9:3

Then I turned my face to the Lord God, seeking him by prayer and pleas for mercy with fasting and sackcloth and ashes.

Do you know of anyone whose lifestyle is defined by fasting prayers??

Daniel, the dearly beloved, was one such person. We were told in scriptures that he fasted and prayed multiple times. In this context, he came to know from scriptures that the 70 years time of captivity is getting to be over (this was the prophecy by Jeremiah before captivity).

Daniel fasted and prayed….again confessing for the disobedience of his family and nation….seeking mercies of the Lord towards his temple.

One astonishing thing was the way Lord sent answer to his fasting prayer. Angel Gabriel was sent SPEEDILY…..wow!!!!

Dan 9:20,21

While I was speaking and praying, confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my plea before the LORD my God for the holy hill of my God, while I was speaking in prayer, the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the first, came to me in swift flight at the time of the evening sacrifice.

40 Days Fasting Prayers 2025 - Day 14 - Sialkot Revival

Thoughts for Day 14

Day 14: Fasting for Vision

Nehemiah 1:11

“O Lord, let your ear be attentive to the prayer of your servant, and to the prayer of your servants who delight to fear your name, and give success to your servant today, and grant him mercy in the sight of this man.”

The longest period of fasting mentioned in the Bible is of Nehemiah’s. What did he get after so many days of fasting??

Firstly, he got vision. A vision is a picture of “what can be” by looking at “what it is currently”. Jerusalem, currently was in ruins. What it can be….a secure city with walls….a city with worship in full flow…..that’s the vision he got.

What is your vision for your church, for your family, for your finances, for your job, for your children’s future…..??

Second, he got clarity as to what is needed to realize the vision. He knows exactly what is needed.

Fasting prayer of Nehemiah resulted in clear vision and a clear plan to fulfill that vision.

Neh 2:7,8

And I said to the king, “If it pleases the king, let letters be given me to the governors of the province Beyond the River, that they may let me pass through until I come to Judah, and a letter to Asaph, the keeper of the king's forest, that he may give me timber to make beams for the gates of the fortress of the temple, and for the wall of the city, and for the house that I shall occupy.” And the king granted me what I asked, for the good hand of my God was upon me.

40 Days Fasting Prayers 2025 - Day 13 - Reasons for Spiritual Decline

Thoughts for Day 13

Fasting for Lord’s House

Nehemiah 1:4

“As soon as I heard these words I sat down and wept and mourned for days, and I continued fasting and praying before the God of heaven.”

Nehemiah was a cup bearer to Persian emperor. Can the most powerful world leader have a slave of enemy nation as his complete confidant that he trusted his life with??!!!

That was the character of Nehemiah….wow!!!

One day his brother, Hanani, came from Judah. Nehemiah asked about the conditions of the city of the Lord. It was not good news.

That triggered burden in Nehemiah to fast. His burden sustained and he fasted for almost 4 months!!!

Did you notice the zeal he has for Lord’s house and city???

When was the last time your fasting was triggered by the zeal for your church?

Ps 69:9; John 2:17

For zeal for your house has consumed me…..
