A lot of us have negative spirits driving us, some will come off without prayer and fasting.
James 4:4
4Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.
• We must resist the devil.
• There are spirits that have been assigned to us.
• Fasting helps us to deny our flesh.
Proverbs 10:4
4He becometh poor that dealeth with a slack hand: but the hand of the diligent maketh rich.
• We have to work on being diligent, there is warfare waged against us.
• Fasting helps to make us disciplined and to keep our flesh under control.
Proverbs 13:4
4The soul of the sluggard desireth, and hath nothing: but the soul of the diligent shall be made fat.
• We must be able to control ourselves and keep our mouths shut when needed.
Proverbs 12:24
24The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be under tribute.
• Our flesh wants to be in control, we must control it.
• The enemy wants to brand us and take control of our lives.
• We must commit to crucify our flesh.
Exodus 20:9-17
9Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: 10But the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: 11For in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it. 12Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee. 13Thou shalt not kill. 14Thou shalt not commit adultery. 15Thou shalt not steal. 16Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.
17Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's house, thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his ass, nor any thing that is thy neighbour's.
• Our greatest sin is covetousness (covetousness is unrestrained or wrongly desirous of wealth and possessions, greedy.)
• We must not covet.

Romans 12:1-2
1I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. 2And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
• You cannot fully renew your mind without prayer and fasting. It encompasses denial.
• We must be disciplined.
• The more you discipline yourself, the greater the reward.
• The world wants us to conform to its values and flesh wants to do what the world does.
• G12 men and women are part of an elite team and it requires self denial.
• Fasting is absolutely required.
