Flesh (carnality) and the spirit war against each other in the quest to be in the rhema of God's presence.
Fasting makes you subdue the craving of the flesh (food, sex, watching indecency) and thereby making your spirit-self have the upper hand during prayers.

Remember fasting without serious praying is just an hunger strike. If you are fasting just because Pastor has declared fasting then you are on a long thing (just a waste of time)
