In every generation, God raises men and women who hunger for more than ordinary Christianity. They are not satisfied with surface-level faith β they long to walk in the kind of power and intimacy with God that transforms lives, shifts atmospheres, and changes nations.
In his book Fasting and Prayer: Godβs Nuclear Power, Steven Brooks reminds us that fasting is not a relic of the past β itβs a timeless key for those who want to see God move in extraordinary ways.

Why Fasting and Prayer Matter
Fasting and prayer are not just religious duties. They are spiritual weapons β what Brooks calls βGodβs nuclear power.β
When believers humble themselves through fasting, their hearts become more sensitive to Godβs voice. The noise of the world fades, and divine clarity begins to rise. Fasting clears the channel for revelation, breakthroughs, and miracles.
Throughout Scripture, we see how fasting changed outcomes:
- Daniel received wisdom and prophetic insight.
- Esther won favor and saved her people.
- Jesus fasted before stepping into His public ministry.
Every major move of God has been fueled by prayer and fasting β not by might, not by power, but by the Spirit of God.

What Happens When You Fast
Steven Brooks explains that when we combine fasting with sincere prayer:
- Spiritual blockages are broken β things that seemed stuck begin to move.
- Faith grows stronger β as the flesh weakens, the spirit rises in boldness.
- Heavenβs power is released β miracles, healing, and deliverance follow.
- Direction becomes clear β fasting sharpens your ability to hear God.
Itβs not about earning Godβs favor, but about positioning yourself to receive what He already desires to give.
A Call to the Church Today
We live in times that demand more than casual faith. The challenges facing families, communities, and nations require a church that walks in spiritual authority. Steven Brooksβ message is both a reminder and a challenge β that the secret place still holds the greatest power.
If believers today would return to the discipline of fasting and prayer, the results would be explosive β not in human strength, but in divine power. The kind of power that shakes strongholds, heals the sick, restores families, and revives hearts.
Fasting and prayer are not easy. They require sacrifice, humility, and focus. But as Steven Brooks puts it, they release βGodβs nuclear powerβ β a force that can change everything.
So whether youβre seeking breakthrough, clarity, or a deeper walk with God, this is your invitation: set aside time to fast and pray. Heaven is ready to respond.
