| The Anointing That Comes Through Fasting by ocnovakmichael(op): 10:28pm On Sep 07, 2025*. Modified: 8:04am On May 03 |
In 1952 Kenneth Hagin relates how Jesus appeared to him in a vision while he was in Rockwall Texas and laid His finger in the palm of each of his hands and declared, "I have called thee and have anointed thee. I have given thee a special anointing to minister to the sick." He went a step further in saying, the Lord Jesus instructed him to tell the people exactly what he was told, stating that if they believed and received it, the power would flow from his hands and effect a healing in their body. But the point I want to get out there is that, Kenneth Hagin stated that the Lord Jesus told him to fast any time the anointing faded to restore its strength and power. When I read Hagin's testimony many years ago, I began to ask myself the question: is there an anointing that accompanies fasting? And for many years I peruse through scriptures until today while I was studying the Bible, the Spirit opened my understanding to this truth. And that Is what I want to share with you. First we need to know that the word "the anointing" is synonymous with the word the Holy Ghost, Spirit, and Power. Many times in scriptures the word the Spirit, power, or the Holy Ghost is use to describe the anointing. For instance, in the book of Zechariah the fourth chapter and the sixth and seventh verses, the Bible say, "... This is the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit, saith the LORD of hosts. Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain..." Now what am I getting to? Let's see how the anointing comes through fasting. Isaiah 58:6 [6]Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke? That text has two fold applications. On the one hand, God is speaking through the prophet Isaiah correcting the children of Israel on the way and manner they should fast. On the other hand, that is prophesying about the Lord Jesus Christ on the fast the Father has chosen for him in order to to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, to let the oppressed go free, and to break every yoke: because in the book of Hebrews scripture says, "... Sacrifice and offering thou wouldest not, but a body hast thou prepared me... Lo, I come (in the volume of the book it is written of me,) to do thy will, O God." You see, after that the Lord Jesus had been baptized and the Spirit came and abode on him like a dove, he did not do any mighty work until the Spirit led him into the wilderness to fast for forty days and forty nights. And after he had fasted, the Bible say, "And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit." It was after the fast that the anointing became manifest that Jesus declared in the gospel of Luke: Luke 4:18 [18]The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, In the book of Isaiah the Lord chose a fast: Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke? But he could not loose the bands of wickedness until he fasted and the anointing became manifest; he couldn't undo the heavy burdens until he fasted; he couldn't let the oppressed go free until he fasted. It is the anointing that breaks or destroys the yoke! Isaiah 10:27 [27]And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing. Acts 10:38 [38]How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him. The manifestation of the Spirit or the anointing is usually preceded by a fast. In the book of Acts the thirteenth chapter, the Spirit spoke after Paul and company had fasted. Acts 13:1-2 [1]Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, which had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul. [2]As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them. Like I had earlier stated, the word Spirit, Holy Ghost, and power are synonymous with the word the "anointing." Now notice in that text that the Holy Ghost or the anointing didn't speak or manifest until those prophets and teachers fasted. Also, notice it was after Jesus fasted for forty days and forty nights scripture says "And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit." This was exactly what the Lord Jesus, in a vision, said to Kenneth Hagin, 'that he should fast any time the anointing faded to restore its strength and power." Friend, the anointing comes through fasting! Notwithstanding, this is one way the anointing is made manifest, not the only way! Do not hoard knowledge, propagate it! Jesus is Lord! 27 Likes 4 Shares |

3nity7:Scripture says, "is not this the fast that I have chosen?" The length of days to fast is yours to choose. The length of days in fasting does not change God, rather it wrought a change in you. Daniel fasted 21 days but the angel of the Lord told Daniel: "... For from the first day that thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were heard, and I am come for thy words" (Daniel 10:12). Daniel prayer was answered the very first day he fasted. Now because of the blood of Jesus, I know and I'm confident that your fasting can be answered in less than 24hrs because we leave in a better covenant than that under which Daniel fasted. 6 Likes |

3nity7:Brother is good to laugh as laughter is like medicine to the soul. Nevertheless, when Jesus told the Jews: destroy this building and in three days I will raise it up. I didn't think he spent next 24 hours trying to make them understand what he meant, but with time they realized what he was saying. Scripture says, for the vision is yet for an appointed time: it will speak, it will not tarry. So brother if you don't understand the revelation in that article it's fine, with time you will come to understand. Peter testified to the writings of Paul that they are hard to comprehend. So if you don't understand, you're in the same boat as Peter: meaning you're in good company 2 Peter 3:15-16 [15]And account that the longsuffering of our Lord is salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you; [16]As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction. 3 Likes |

ocnovakmichael:Thanks, very true. No Spirit can be pleased without a Sacrifice. Satanic Spirits demand for Ritual killings of Humanbeings etc. The Supreme SPIRIT ALMIGHTY I AM THAT I AM The FATHER of JESUS Our Saviour demands only for Fasting and Holiness. Listen! Listen!! LISTEN!!! This Generation of Believers are the Luckiest! Yes, both Christians and Muslims because many Muslims believe that JESUS is Savior of Humanity just as Apostle Arome testified of many that he is Discipling. Did you know that it is because genuine Christians are still on Earth that Satan is still pampering Witches, Wizards, Marine Agents, Serpentine Agents and Satanists that worship him? Yes, Satan hates ALL Humanbeings equally with passionate undiluted Hatred! He has very bitter passionate Hatred for ALL Humanbeings including Pastors, Imams, Witches, Wizards and Satanists that worships him. Because we are all images of I AM THAT I AM, so he hates that we Reflect the Supreme CREATOR that he knows he shall never be able to Conquer, but would rather soon cast him into Eternal Consuming Fire that is far worse than the ordinary fire experienced on Earth. His hatred for the Witches and Wizards that worships him would become very obvious immediately after we that forever refused to bow to him and his AntiChrist Internet Beast System have been Raptured out of this World to Heaven. The Witches and Wizards would become very useless to him immediately when there is no more Heaven-bound Souls to use them to try to get through Afflictions, Frustration, Progress-blockages and all those Witchcraft activities they do for Satan against Believers/Worshipers of ALMIGHTY I AM THAT I AM. This Generation of Believers are the Luckiest since the beginning of Humanity because ALMIGHTY I AM THAT I AM Our Eternal Heavenly FATHER loves us so much that HE has not just sent HIS only Beloved begotten Son for our Salvation, HE has also literally exposed all Deceptions of Satan to us and even made us know that immediately there is no more Heaven-bound Souls of Earth for Satan to hunt, seduce and deceive he would show his true colour to all Witches, Wizards, and Humans that have bowed to his Beast and AntiChrist on Earth. Servants of Satan such as Witches, Wizards, Marine and Serpentine Witchcrafts Human Agents shall all be dumped like disgusting bad habits that Satan don't need anymore. Yes, they are simply used and dumped tools for him to Destroy Humanity. It takes a special kind of self-deception and self-destruction for any Human Being to know that he/she would no more be allowed to eat Chicken, Fish, Beef, etc but only bugs/cockroaches/worms (as WEF and bGates already Announced as a must to curb Carbon Footprint blabla...) that makes their Body conform in Slavery Submission to Demonic Spirits which would irreversibly Own and indwell in them eternally after People that genuinely Love CREATOR of Humanity have been taken from Earth, it takes a special kind of foolish self-deceitfulness to know all these Truth and still chose to stick with this fast-Decaying Beast Internet-enslaved End Time World. [b]We all witnessed the Truth that the CORONAted and Enthroned AntiChrist locked down all People in their own Homes like chickens all over the World after Years 2020 during the Plandemic. My friend just bought a Brand New expensive Benz then but he dared not drive it out, all over the whole World, everyone was holeup and caged at Home like chickens by someone's Order. So, it is height of self-deception to think that People left behind on Earth after genuine Worshipers of I AM THAT I AM have been taken out of this World would not be forever Enslaved by the AntiChrist in unimaginable despicable excruciating way, especially after he has already used his Human Stooge to Announced that "You shall own nothing and you shall be Happy!" And "You will eat bugs, and you will love it!" Yes, those that Control World Economy has said by 2030 those remaining in Earth shall only be allowed to eat bugs/cockroaches/worms instead of Meat, Chicken and delicious Fish, etc. Any decision not to seriously Fast and Pray to ask JESUS to help you to Please His FATHER (ALMIGHTY I AM THAT I AM The Only SOURCE of Life) would be Suicidal self-deception.[/b] Please, don't allow your Eternal Soul to Glue undetachably to this fast-Decaying World because of the seductive Deceitful-sweetness of Technology and your Ego-boosting Selfish Ambition that has no value in Heaven. Tomorrow maybe too late, Make Peace with your CREATOR ALMIGHTY I AM THAT I AM Today! Accept JESUS AHAYAHsha HIS Beloved Son as your Personal SAVIOUR and CONTROLLER. Urgently start Praying every Morning and Night that the Ever Pure Supreme SPIRIT of your CREATOR should take Permanent Control of your Thoughts and Eternal Ownership of your Heart the Source of your Thoughts. HE would then start Guiding you through Dreams and Divine Thoughts into Entering The Original Divine Glorious Purpose for which HE Created You. HalleAHAYA ASHAR AHAYA!!!!!!!

ocnovakmichael:Funny thing is una god has everything but always want you people to suffer before giving it ? He doesn’t protect or provide . He makes you people to pay tithe , offering, sow seed , fast and pray , midnight prayer , night Virgil . Early morning prayers, all sorts of camps , crusade .monday to Sunday weekly services. And all he does is sit up there writing names of sinners? He watch children being unalived everywhere he couldn’t stop it all in the name of giving the perpetrator a will .

Anointing flows like electricity 🔌 through faith by God's Word. However, the level of anointing, just like electricity can be increased through fasting...all believers are anointed, but aren't operating on the same level. Some believers operate in higher levels of anointing like pastor EA Adeboye because of a consecrated life of fasting often. Are you willing to pay the price to be highly anointed? 1 Like |

gohf:You are right, the essence of fasting is not to enhance the anointing but the material carrying it. Let's assume anointing is like water or any other fluid or liquid that is precious like petrol for instance , in some scenarios they flow through pipes as channels of distribution. The anointing is like the petrol it doesn't diminish but the pipe can have blockages preventing the flow, then fasting is the means of removing the blockages same way fasting helps in removing toxins from our bodies |

ocnovakmichael:/ Fast for your health. Give your guts room to breathe and rest. There is nothing spiritual or anointing about fasting. Don't defend it with quotations from the exact book/tool of indoctrination which spreads fear. How did Kenneth Hagins know that it was Jesus that appeared to him in 1952? In many Psychiatric wards all over the world are people who hear imaginary things. Define hallucination. / 2 Likes |

Is it just fasting or fasting and prayer? When you fast without prayer...your physical body benfits from it. You are not different from people doing OMAD, intermittent fasting etc But with fasting n prayers, your spirit benefits, the annointing fatten the yoke and chains are broken Mk 9:29 The disciples ask the Lord why they were not able to cast out the demon. Jesus tells them, “This kind can come out by nothing but prayer and fasting |
