Ep 80 //  The Power of Fasting - Who Should Do it, Why, and How with Pastor Leah Moore

Fasting is one of those spiritual disciplines that often feels confusing and, let’s be honest, hard to do! But God is always calling us higher. And that includes incorporating God-honoring practices to grow in intimacy with Him. When you feel an awakening in your spirit you have to lean into that.

When I got a note from a listener asking me to an episode on this practice, I knew exactly who to invite to teach us about prayer and fasting!

Leah M Moore is a devoted wife and loving mother to five amazing children. Leah is an ordained pastor, writer, role model, speaker (nationally and internationally), mentor, prayer strategist, former talk show host and podcaster. She is Founder of Grace Promises Women's Ministry. A ministry that empowers women to walk in God's power, passion, and purpose with Grace! 

Nuggets of wisdom, guidance, and testimony this episode: 

  • What is a “seek ye first…” life?

  • The problem with familiar spirits/places 

  • What is fasting?

  • Why we fast

  • How we fast - the different types/choices of fasting

  • The negotiables and non-negotiables of fasting 

  • The depth of generational breakthrough fasting can bring 

  • Prayer and fasting always go together

  • What if you don’t have words for your prayers

Quotable Quotes from the Leah:

“I had permission to evolve. It’s something God wanted me to do. The enemy wants to camp in familiar spaces and places, but God is always calling us to more.”

“Jesus didn’t say, ‘Maybe when you fast…” He said, ‘WHEN you fast.’ What is your response to something the Lord requires of you?” 

“It’s not about us. It’s about us presenting our bodies before the Lord. This gets real for me! I do it while I’m fixing dinner for my family with a baby on my hip!”

“Your only WHY can be - because the Holy Spirit told me to. Your YES will bring forth fruit.”
