Praying at least 30 minutes straight in the Holy Spirit

Pray an hour if you can, if not you can even start at 15 minutes and add 5 extra minutes per week. Pray in a kneeling position with head bowed. We are looking for the most humbling position. However, if you already know how to humble your spirit on the spot which will come with honing in in the aforementioned position, please humble your spirit. When you humble your faith spirit, your spirit bows and the presence of God comes down as your spirit bows. Think hour glass...as the sand goes down, air fills it up. That's the experience of humbling your spirit. We want to decrease while He increases so we can operate in His fullness.

Saturday and Sunday is mostly worship, so sing in the Spirit. If you haven't before, ask Him to help you, have a tambourine, dance before God. 

Fasting at least till 3pm

There is nothing as beautiful as a good fast. Your flesh and spirit are in enmity. They are not friends, when you subdue your flesh, it is a fast that is soaked in the Word that keeps your body under, Why? 
The flesh is weaker, your spirit is stronger and feeding. Feeding on the Word, on prayer, on presence, on anointing, on the activities through this time. The only thing developing intentionally is your spirit. Please, when you finally eat, eat a well balanced diet. No need to eat too much or to eat 5 minutes before the fast begins, it will just make you more hungry through the day. That's up to you though, experience is the best teacher. your experience or someone else's.

Fasting magnifies everything spiritual. It magnifies the Word, your spirit, the SPIRIT, God, Jesus, worship, Prayer, your voice in the realms, the anointing on you, your sensitivity. It is one of the best ways to put your body under. Its harder for your flesh to act out when you are fasting.

Saturday and Sunday fasting is till noon, unless you are joined in another fast. 

Fasting with thanks (NO CARNAL or SELF SERVING PRAYER POINTS)

Practice Thanksgiving. When you are done fasting, Thank God for everything that has happened today and ask mercy, not as a prayer point. e.g
Thank You Lord for the fast, Thanks for the strength, have mercy on me Lord God. 
Thanks for clearing up traffic for me when I asked and within seconds too, please have mercy on me. 
Sorry I didn't obey when you wanted me to sit with that brother and talk about you, have mercy.

Give account of the day

If you have joined others in fasting, please pray also with them the prayers that should be prayed... It is well. 

Reading at least one chapter per day from the Holy Bible

If you have none, pull the meditation for the month and read the whole chapter for more understanding. 

The word of God is the key, it is the catalyst. Spend time in the Word.  You can have your bible under you and it is possible to read as you pray in the Spirit. You can then separated the time in a week or a month where you read the Word and then pray. The Word of God is the charger, praying in the Spirit wakes up your spirit to understanding and unusual revelation. 

Please no rushing through the Word of God.

Leaning on God John 14

 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.

8 Philip saith unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us.

9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father?

Leaning on Jesus. Meditation

 11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake

Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. John 14 vs 1

 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. John 14 vs 6

*****************************************************************************
11 Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.

Meditate on John 14 vs 12-15

The focus is this, we need a higher belief in Jesus so that we can do greater works. The disciples believed so much that they died for it, that's not too common anymore. 

When we have understanding of this and belief, we can ask ANYTHING in His name and have a great expectation for it's accomplishment. We can lay a burden at His feet and move on, not wondering if He will do it or not. This glorifies God in Jesus. We will need to mention that in prayer with this understanding initially, so that heaven understands where we are coming from.

Desperately leaning on the Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit came to help us. He will lead us in all truth, He is the Spirit of truth. Who is the truth..Jesus. He comes to bear witness to the truth...Jesus. Lets stop there and gain understanding of this

John 16 vs 7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.

13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

15 All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
