Fasting holds a pivotal role in the Christian faith, illustrated by Jesus' 40-day fast in the wilderness after His baptism. Despite efforts by the enemy to hinder the understanding and practice of fasting with prayer, engaging in this spiritual discipline offers profound benefits. The early church continued this practice post-Jesus' ascension, and the scriptures outline numerous advantages. Here are the top 10 benefits:

3.    Clarity in Discerning God's Will

8.    Humbling and Transformative Effect
a.    Fasting fosters humility, as seen in David's proclamation in Psalm 35:13, providing a transformative experience leading to repentance and positive change.

9.    Deliverance for Nations
