10. Fasting In Matthew 17:21, Jesus tells the apostles that the demon the apostles were trying to cast out would only come out by “prayer and fasting.” As a result of what Jesus told the apostles on this one situation, this means that sometimes God will be asking you to fast right before you take on a heavier type case. Just be led by the Holy Spirit as to when to fast and when not to fast. You do not want to get into legalism thinking that you have to fast on every single demon case that ever comes your way. The apostles were apparently casting out other demons without having to fast, so again, just be led and guided by the Holy Spirit as to which cases He will want you to fast on. But just realize that this is a very powerful option and strategy that you can use, especially on a heavier inside type of case like what the apostles were apparently dealing with when Jesus told them that this kind of demon will only come out by prayer and fasting.
