The Hidden Power That Changes Everything
Imagine walking into a hospital ward filled with forgotten children, and encountering a 16-year-old boy with Down syndrome who compulsively beats his own face until it feels like alligator skin. This was Mahesh Chavda's introduction to the supernatural power of fasting and prayer. After a 14-day fast, he commanded the spirit tormenting the boy to leave - the child's body flew across the room, hit the wall, and slid down with a sigh as a sulfuric smell filled the air. When the splints were removed from his arms, the boy gently touched his face, realizing he was free. This dramatic transformation launched Chavda into discovering what millions throughout history have experienced - from Martin Luther King Jr. to Gandhi to Jesus Himself - the extraordinary spiritual breakthrough that comes when prayer is combined with fasting. Jesus didn't just save us - He commissioned us with the words: "As the Father has sent Me, I also send you." But there's a crucial progression we often miss. In Luke 4, Jesus was first filled with the Holy Spirit, then led into the wilderness where He fasted forty days while facing temptation. Before this experience, Jesus was "filled with the Spirit," but afterward, He returned "in the power of the Spirit" - a distinction that changed everything. This progression from being filled to walking in power is the key that unlocks miraculous ministry. Being filled with the Spirit is wonderful, but it's only the beginning. The wilderness experience of prayer and fasting removes obstacles to the Holy Spirit's flow, creating a channel for greater power.
