Prayer and Fasting, Supernatural Systems of the Ages: Part 1

Those who do wickedly against the covenant he shall corrupt with flattery; but the people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits.

Daniel 11:32 (NKJV)

Throughout human history mankind has sought ways to enhance itself and its world; it is the reason for so many of today's discoveries and breakthroughs in science and technology. On the other hand, our fascination with the supernatural has opened many destructive gateways into the earth. The contacting of extraterrestrial entities is about to affect mankind and technology detrimentally, and the future of this world is going to be more dangerous than we ever thought.

The days of Noah are upon us, and this is why I believe science and technology will move further and further in the wrong direction, to be used for satanic ends. Someone may wonder whether they cannot be used for the good of mankind. They cannot, for this world is under the sway of the evil one, and it ultimately functions to serve his diabolical and sinister purposes against God and His people. God desires that His people use supernatural weaponry rather than physical, for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal or earthly, but supernatural.

The world hates Jesus, and everything and everyone in allegiance to Him, and so everything that has been done, and will continue to be done, is aimed at hurting us. At the core of technological and scientific advancement is the destruction of humanity, whether or not those who spearhead it are aware of it, though I believe the big players in government, corporations and organisations are part of it. In the future it will become more and more difficult to live in this world. But there is a proven technology, a system, that can not only prepare you for the future but secure your victory, a system so powerful that you can build your entire life around it: the supernatural technology of prayer and fasting.

When God created the earth, He established a law limiting His operations and functions to the invitation, or permission, that man grants Him. This is a concept many struggle to come to terms with, but it should be remembered that the God who creates laws honours them, and the law of earthly intervention depends on man's will to permit God in the affairs of his life and world. This means that for God's will to be done on earth, a man must permit it. That is why prayer and fasting are among the greatest powers afforded to mankind. They are the bridge for the supernatural and the miraculous. They give God the legal platform to act in the affairs of men, and involve Him in the outcomes of the kingdoms of men. They enlarge what is possible for the man who has made a business of them.

Prayer in the name of Jesus can affect anything in the universe, making those who pray the most dangerous force in the world. Prayer and fasting are an interplanetary communication system, and at the same time a supernatural weapons system, because they employ and deploy heavenly resources. Those who are ardent in this activity, and understand its laws, will always have a great advantage in this world, and will confound every technological and scientific advance of the past, present and future.
