The Purpose Of A Purposeful Fast part. 2 By. PASTOR BISMARK TORGLO Gospel Life Missions

Spiritual and purposeful (Esth. 4:16)
This is where the fast is declared in desperation with clearly defined and stated objectives.
Esther 4:16
[16]Go, gather together all the Jews that are present in Shushan, and fast ye for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day: I also and my maidens will fast likewise; and so will I go in unto the king, which is not according to the law: and if I perish, I perish.
THINGS TO NOTE ABOUT PURPOSE:
1. Purpose is key to power (Gen. 32:24-28)
Anytime anywhere that anyone must see power there must be purpose in place. Nothing we do can be powerful until we do it purposefully.
Genesis 32:24-28
[24]And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.
[25]And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him.
[26]And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.
[27]And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob.
[28]And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.
