FASTING SECRETS REVEALED | Secret # 4

By Charles A. Rhodus
Image
 The Secret of Daniel's 21 Day Fast Do you know why fasting is so difficult? Because it is the strongest weapon against the flesh and the lusts thereof. When you fast, your prayers are magnified in power. The devil was so intimidated by Jesus' fasting in the wilderness that he actually tempted him to stop his fast! You will not change the mind of God when you fast but you will crucify your flesh and build your faith. Below is an excerpt from chapter four of Fasting Secrets Revealed The man Daniel was no better or special than us, but he made himself noticeable by prayer and fasting. God took notice and sent a messenger. Dan 10:13-17 But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia. 14 Now I am come to make thee understand what shall befall thy people in the latter days: for yet the vision is for many days. 15 And when he had spoken such ...

FASTING SECRET # THREE

 FASTING SECRET # THREE Overcoming The Sinful Nature Here is an excerpt from chapter three: 1 Cor 9:24­27 Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.  25 And every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible.  26 I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air:  27 But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway. I want to show you several Bible versions of 1 Corinthians 9:27. They are quite enlightening. 1 Cor 9:27 but I discipline my body and make it my slave, so that, after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified. NASU 1 Cor 9:27 but I buffet my body, and bring it into bondage: lest by any means, after that I have preached to others, I myself should be rejected. ASV ...

Fasting Secrets Revealed | Secret # 2

By Charles A. Rhodus
Image
Fasting Secrets Revealed | Secret # 2 is from chapter two of my book by the same name. I hope you are inspired by the following excerpt from chapter two. It is about the misteaching of the mustard seed. Jesus did not refer to the size of the seed but he said if you have faith "as" a mustard seed. The word "as" refers to the character of the seed.  If you need a miracle, do not depend on a small amount of faith to get the job done. Push back the plate as Jesus said and go into prayer. Nothing shall be impossible unto you. With extreme situations, we must take extreme measures to see it turn around. " Matthew 17: 20 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. 21 Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting.   Mark 9:25­27 When Jesus saw that ...

Fasting Secret Number One | You Must Overcome Yourself

By Charles A. Rhodus
Image
  Fasting Secret Number One | You Must Overcome Yourself Learn how to fast for breakthrough, healing, and salvation for those you love. Below is an excerpt from chapter one of my book, Fasting Secrets Revealed | Breakthrough Fasting. I want you to have that strong miracle faith. Jesus wants you to have that strong miracle faith. The way we get it is by pushing back the plate and seeking his face. We are not seeking power but direction, boldness, faith, and humility. Praying and fasting are more about the relationship than anything. When our old man is dead, we can hear from God. Our flesh is that veil, like the veil of the temple in Matthew chapter 27 that separated the holy place from the most holy place. As Jesus' body was ripped to shreds on the cross, our flesh needs to be ripped to shreds, so to speak by fasting and prayer. If we die with him, we can live with him. If we humble ourselves, he will exalt us in due time. The "easy believeism" and microw...

A MESSAGE FROM HELL

By Charles A. Rhodus
Image
  I just released my eighth book entitled "A Message From Hell | A Fictitious Plea of a Man in Hell". The teaching of  Hell  today is almost non-existent. The Bible says much about Hell. Matter of fact it refers to Hell much more than it does Heaven. If you do not believe in  Hell  as a place of forever punishment of the sinner, you no doubt do not believe in Heaven either. Christians of today have overdosed on the love of God, so much so that, many believe that a just and loving God will not do what He said about an eternity of  fiery torment . I believe in Hell because the Bible tells us about it. I believe in it because Jesus taught much about it. In this writing, I do my best to make  Hell  and its torments as real as possible, using the Bible and my own imagination. It is a story of a fictitious man crying out in torment, warning the sinner and ungodly to turn toward God in full repentance. I strive to show how this lost soul experiences Hell...

CLOSET PRAYERS | Learn How to Pray

By Charles A. Rhodus

  Learn How to Pray Matt 6:5-8 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. 6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet , and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly . 7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. 8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him. Thayers Lexicon says that a closet is an inner chamber or secret room.   Re- Matthew 6:6 thy closet / Prayer is the most secret intercourse of the soul with God, and as it were the conversation of one heart with another. The world is too profane and treacherous to be of the secret. We must shut the do...

PREACHING ON PRAYER

By Charles A. Rhodus

  Preaching and Teaching on Prayer Audio Visit: charlesarhodus.com for discounted reading material and more! The following is an excerpt from my book "The Urgent Need of the Hour | Revival Praying" "When a person takes importunity into their closet, mighty things can happen. When Jesus talked about closet praying, He meant what He said. There is an open reward for those that pray secretly. Your ability to stay with God in prayer will affect your faith. Too many never pray in their “closet”. They are too busy. Prayer for them is the spare tire. It is the flare in the trunk in case they break down one day. Prayer should be our compass, our steering wheel. Praying on your way to work is good but it is not a closet. Your closet could be your basement, your attic or for most, it is their bedroom. A place of seclusion and privacy.   Importunity may be the single most important point in prayer. Without it, prayer can be of a lazy value. It may be sleepy and without faith.  You...
