: Amen and amen, through the revealed word. Today, Faustino Zamora emphasizes, in his devotional reflection, the importance and necessity of fasting accompanied by prayer; they represent the weapons of our warfare for the destruction of strongholds. In faith and with the help of the Lord's grace, the Holy Spirit will work according to His will.
May God bless you, give you wisdom, and may the anointing of the Holy Spirit of God always guide you to orient and instruct the believer in the word of life and its value in our lives.

: God knows the hearts of men. They may pretend before men, but before God they will present you as you are. We must be authentic and we will be worth as gold. May the Lord give us his holy blessing.

: Beautiful word. About fasting, but if a person finds it difficult to fast, it is the Lord God who will call us to account, and we should not be hypocrites, but rather be sincere with the Lord God. It is very difficult for me to fast. May the Lord God forgive me. May God keep you and bless you always.

It's important to remember that fasting is a spiritual discipline that can be challenging for many, and what matters above all is the sincerity of our hearts before God. He knows our struggles and weaknesses, and values honesty above perfection. May God's grace and mercy accompany you on your journey of faith, and may you find comfort in His unconditional love. May God always keep you and bless you with His love and understanding!

: Today, our devotional message explains the importance of fasting as a method of purifying the mind, body, and spirit. It also helps us to be more in communion with God. It allows us to declutter and rid ourselves of material things, and to send and entrust our requests, while praising and glorifying God. This is a total surrender. God bless you! Amen.
