Fresh Start Christian Church
Topic: Peace and Favor
Main Scripture: Romans 8:31-39
What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things? Who shall bring a charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. Who is he who condemns? It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written:
“For Your sake we are killed all day long;
We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.”
Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Prayer and Fasting – Matthew 6:5-18
- Prayer
- Communicating with God
- “The divinely authorized means to access the kingdom of Heaven and to get that kingdom to intervene in the affairs of our earthly life”
- Prayer is ESSENTIAL
- Fasting
- Voluntarily abstaining from food (or something else) for spiritual purposes
- Denying our flesh or starving our flesh and subjecting our flesh to the Holy Spirit
- The primary purpose of fasting is self-humbling (to humble ourselves before God)
- Prayer and fasting are rooted and grounded in relationship, not ritual or routine
- Prayer is about drawing near to God
- When we deny our flesh, walk in the Spirit, and humble ourselves before God through fasting, this allows us to draw closer to God
