In this message, Pastor Jack teaches from the book of Ezra about anticipating the adversary through fasting and prayer. Drawing from the account of the exiles returning to Jerusalem, Pastor Jack explains how they prepared for potential attacks by fasting before crisis struck, rather than waiting for trouble to arrive. He challenges the congregation to adopt this same proactive spiritual warfare strategy during critical seasons in the church’s life, calling them to specific periods of fasting – ten days for matters concerning the building and fifteen days leading to Easter for release of ministry.
