There are rewards after any fasting or retreat by God’s love expressed through His mercy, grace and favour especially if done according to Isaiah 58, Matthew 6:16-18, Joel 2:12-32.
It has both spiritual and physical rewards. Fasting gives us new garments and new wine (Mark 2:20-22). Find out what that means. There areconsecration by the Grace of God. Nothing come by chance you have to be deliberate. What you peruse or engage that is what you will see or know. Fasting afflict our soul. We must render our hearts not our garments. Since the bridegroom is not around physically we need to fast (Mark 2:18-22). Certain dimensions, levels and realms you enter by fasting, praying, meditating, giving, worship and praising, holiness, purity, dying to self, giving God your whole heart, zeal, passion done in love and truth.
There is before and during but let focus on what to do after a fasting or retreat.
1. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth (Colossians 3: 2). Your spirit is opened or light to receive certain anointing released, impartation, implantation and replication. Be spiritual. Don’t be carnal. Focus more on spiritual blessings since with that you get the physical ones.
2. Our Lord Jesus after fasting came in the power of the Spirit (Luke 4:14) after fasting you receive a measure of power so don’t abuse or misuse the power. It is for the work of the kingdom not for personal use. Don’t use it for asking for materials things for yourself. Be kingdom focus. You work for God so use the power for His work not personal and selfish use.
3. Most of the time during and after fasting or retreat there is heightened dreams, visions, trance, hearing and spiritual intimations so you have to get a journal and record them. Revelations about your life, destiny, ministry and others come more during and after. You may also, use the voice memos on your phone to record. Occasionally go over these revelations and prayer through them. Revelation do not contradict the Scriptures so be alert of what you receive in the name of revelation or mysteries.
4. When you get home release the anointing or power in your room, prayer altar, mantle, etc.
5. Release a thanksgiving sacrifice offering to the altar, men of God and the poor, needy, widows etc as gratitude for the spiritual promotion, soul cleansing, flesh dying, physical discipline gained from every spiritual exercise.
6. Ask the Holy Spirit to find out the specific or exact power received. Also, do spiritual observation to ascertain what has been deposited into your spirit. Observe your prayer life, worship, answers to prayers, healing, miracles before and after fasting. Other mature spiritual brethren or spiritual father can tell you what they seen or perceive has come upon you. You may also know prophetically. The purpose of the fast will reveal what you have gained thus why we fast with a purpose and align all the scriptures and energy to that purpose not always praying for general things.
7. Be careful of temptation. Our Lord Jesus was tempted after fasting. He overcame by what is written so know the scriptures, memorize them. Exercise your authority of the scriptures in every situation( Matthew 4:1-11, Luke 4:1-13).
8. Don’t engage in arguments, quarreling, misunderstandings, fightings, anger after fasting so not to loose who you have received or about to receive or suspensions from what you have gained. Check offenses.
9. Walk in love ( Ephesians 5:2).
10. Don’t start eating heavy food right away. Break the fasting gradually. For dry fasting break with liquids like water melon, rice water check sugar intake, banana, light soup no pepper with rice, coconut water, blended fruits, Be very careful of acidic or peppery foods. A lot of stomach problems is a result of wrong breaking of fasting not the devil. Some do not have money to break so they eat anyhow or whatever is available. Eat well. God punish poverty in Jesus name.
11. Continue in the fasting and prayers don’t just stop at once. Live a fasted life.
12. If there is any stubborn challenge after fasting pray concerning them some will only go after empowerment through prayer and fasting ( Matthew 17:14-21).
13. Store the spiritual energy gained for the right opportunity by the Holy Spirit. Sometimes after fasting or retreat a lot of doors open as a man/woman of God be led by the Holy Spirit.
