Unlocking Divine Access: The Power of Fasting and the Word by Kay Daniels

Fasting is not just an act of abstinence; it is a spiritual gateway to renewal, empowerment, and enthronement. The greatest asset you can take away from a fast is access to the Word of God, which is a source of life and strength. As Jesus declared, “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God” (Matthew 4:4).

In the journey of life, the process of growth can be likened to seasons:

1. The Planting Era – The Cattle Season

This is a time of sowing seeds through diligent study of the Word and prayer. “Those who sow in tears shall reap in joy” (Psalm 126:5).

2. The Watering Era – The Silver Season

Here, we nurture the seeds by staying connected to God’s presence. “I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase” (1 Corinthians 3:6).

3. The Era of Increase – The Gold Season

This is the season of harvest and manifestation. The Lord Himself brings the increase. “The earth yields its crops; God, our God, blesses us” (Psalm 67:6).

Fasting positions you to move through these seasons with divine alignment. Your access to the Word of God is what strengthens and transforms you during a fast. “The entrance of Your words gives light; it gives understanding to the simple” (Psalm 119:130). Just as physical food nourishes the body, spiritual food nourishes the soul, enabling you to emerge with a renewed vision and purpose.

A fast is primarily for spiritual renewal. It purifies the soul, aligns the spirit, and empowers the body for divine exploits. “But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles” (Isaiah 40:31).

This is a year of Enthronement, a season when God is positioning His people for dominion and influence. During a fast, there is always a reconnection with the voice of the Spirit of God. As Jesus said, “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me” (John 10:27).

As you engage in fasting and prayer, remember that the Word of God is your greatest treasure. It builds, nourishes, and empowers you to walk in the fullness of His plan for your life. Step into this season with boldness, knowing that your enthronement is at hand! “For You, O Lord, will bless the righteous; with favor You will surround him as with a shield” (Psalm 5:12).

Be empowered. Be renewed. Be enthroned.
