Interesting thought and a recipe...

"Solomon, when writing the books of wisdom for Israel, made the point that a cord, or rope, braided with three strands is not easily broken (Eccles. 4:12) Likewise, when giving, praying, and fasting are practiced together in the life of a believer, it creates a type of threefold cord that is not easily broken. In fact, as I'll show you in a moment, JESUS took it even further by saying, 'Nothing will be impossible'(Matt. 17:20)

Could we be missing our greatest breakthroughs because we fail to fast? ... Remember the thirtyfold, sixtyfold, and hundredfold return JESUS spoke of (Mark 4:8,20) Look at it this way: when you pray, you can release that thirtyfold return, but when both prayer and giving are part of your life, I believer that releases the sixtyfold blessing. But when all three---giving, praying, and fasting---are part of your life, that hundredfold return can be released!"~Jentzen Franklin "fasting"
