Original testimony: Another highly recommended video of hers:
When prayer and trusting aren't getting the job done (breakthrough - victory), it's time to consider using the SPIRITUAL "NUCLEAR WARHEAD WEAPON" OF FASTING.
Some things are simply not going to happen we would LIKE to have happen until the SPIRITUAL WEAPON OF FASTING (along with prayer of course) is employed.
Yet don't go off - as it's said - "Half cocked" regarding fasting. Fasting is NOT a "guaranteed formula" to get out of God every time we want Him to do something for us. God is no "Sugar Daddy." However - when we fast because we're impressed of the Holy Spirit ("Be LED by the Spirit"), we can have assured confidence God is going to somehow reward us for fasting - some way. Jesus assures us of it in Matthew 6:16-18:
"Moreover, when you fast, do not be like the hypocrites with a sad countenance. For they disfigure their faces that they may appear to men to be fasting. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. But you, when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, so that you do not appear to men to be fasting, but to your Father who is in the secret place, and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly."
Furthermore, research fasting. Prayerfully consult professional medical advice, though make sure you allow the Holy Spirit to OVERRIDE the counsel of man when you're dealing with MAJOR matters of importance. Doctors are to be greatly appreciated, but Dr. HOLY SPIRIT overrides ALL).
Beware of EXTREMES. Some KIND/S of fasting you may not be ready for. Health issues, safety issues ... are two main things we need to always take into account. Satan would LOVE for us to be traumatized by fasting ... so we NEVER do it AGAIN (because he KNOWS how effective of a spiritual weapon it IS for us).
Here are a couple of recommended resources on the subject of fasting:
