Only by fasting can you break these barriers! | Leo Bigger | ICF Zurich

2025/03/02 | Leo Bigger

In this sermon Leo Bigger (ICF Zurich) argues that fasting with prayer weakens your flesh so the Spirit can grow stronger, unlocking breakthroughs you can’t achieve by effort alone. Drawing on Daniel 9–10 and Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 17, he shows how fasting “cleans the spiritual windows,” sharpens your spirit, and engages unseen battles that may resist before victory comes. Practical takeaway: start small (skip coffee or try a partial fast), clarify the one issue you’re bringing to God, fast with others, journal daily, and plan logistics for a 21-day or shorter fast. He suggests holding a stone each morning as a symbol of your burden. Call to reflection/action: pick one area needing breakthrough, commit to a fasting plan, pray—and partner with God expecting change.
