Solemn Assembly Day 13: Fasting—The Key to the "Impossible" Case

Day 13 Devotional Meditation 

By Dr Patrick Elijah Anyomi 

Key Text:

"Then the disciples came to Jesus in private and asked, 'Why couldn't we drive it out?' He replied, 'Because you have so little faith... However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.'" — Matthew 17:14-21

Devotional Meditation:

A desperate father. A tormented son. A demon that laughs at conventional ministry. The disciples—who had previously cast out demons and healed the sick—now face their "impossible" case! They discover that some mountains require more than ordinary faith! Some strongholds demand extraordinary measures! Jesus reveals the master key: "This kind goes out only by prayer and fasting!"

This is fasting that confronts entrenched evil! This is prayer that engages high-level spiritual warfare! The demon in this boy wasn't just resisting—it was refusing to leave! Some battles require more than verbal commands—they demand consecrated warriors!

 Your "impossible" case—that sickness doctors can't explain, that addiction that resists deliverance, that financial hole that keeps deepening—is your "this kind" mountain! But hear this: Jesus didn't say "this kind" CAN'T be cast out—He revealed HOW to cast it out!

As we press into Day 13 of our solemn assembly, recognize that your fasting is building faith muscles for impossible situations! Your prayer is developing spiritual authority over stubborn strongholds! 

The same power that raised Christ from the dead is being amplified in you through consecration! Your empty stomach is declaring to hell: "I want my miracle more than I want my meal!" Your physical denial is telling heaven: "I'm serious about seeing Your power manifest!"

Prayer for Impossible Breakthroughs:

Mountain-Moving God! We confront every "impossible" case in our lives!

· We engage in prayer and fasting for stubborn situations and resistant strongholds!

· We build our faith capacity for extraordinary miracles and breakthroughs!

· We command every "this kind" mountain to be cast into the sea!

· We receive authority over demons, diseases, and circumstances that resist ordinary faith!

· We declare that no case is impossible with You!

King of Glory! Amplify our faith through consecration! Anoint us with "this kind" authority! Let our fasting create spiritual leverage against impossible situations! Demonstrate Your power through breakthroughs that confound the world and glorify Your name! In the mighty name of Jesus, Amen! 

Declaration of "This Kind" Authority:

"My fasting builds 'this kind' faith! My prayer develops 'this kind' authority! No mountain can resist my consecrated warfare! No demon can withstand my amplified faith! I cast out every 'impossible' case in Jesus' name! I am a 'this kind' believer for 'this kind' victory!"
