I was up a little after 4 a.m. about a week ago, praying and interceding in the spirit for ailing marriages. “Ailing” is the name that the Lord gave me the other morning when He told me to start the group on Marriages, Couples and Singles. The Lord said that many marriages are ailing, and many marriages are failing because they are ailing. I promise you that with all my heart I will endeavor to speak and write in God’s love, with love, with understanding, and with empathy to those of you who may be in an ailing situation.

First of all you need to know that there is hope for you.
You need to know and realize that you are not stuck where you are.
You need to know and realize that you have a great future ahead of you.
You need to know and realize that you have a great life ahead of you.
You need to know that you have happiness, joy and peace ahead of you,
They are all in your tomorrow.

You need to know and realize that if you got yourself into something,
God has a way to get you out of it, because He is sovereign and all-wise.
You need to know and realize that what you are dealing with is no surprise to God.
You need to know that yes, He has heard your prayers,
He has seen your tears and they have NOW come up to Him before His throne.
You need to know and realize that God has been working on your behalf for His good plans and purpose for your life during all the heartache, headache and pain.

You need to know and realize that you have a testimony through all of this that will bring Him great glory, and that will cause you to bear an anointing
and glory of God in your vessel that has been in the furnace or fiery trial for so long.
And O’ what a glorious vessel you have become in His eyes!!!, says the Lord your God.
You need to know and realize that I am writing under the unction of the Holy Spirit and not of myself, and this is the word of the Lord to you. And I will write boldy,
And declare boldly as God's messenger, to deliver this word to you for Him.

DESPERATION

Another thing that came to me was in the light of “desperation”. How bad do you want it? How bad do your want change? How bad do you want deliverance? How bad do you want salvation for your family for your situation?

You must now look at your situation from a spiritual perspective like never before and deal with it accordingly.

Marriage/home/family is the number one target of the enemy of your soul. Marriage was ordained, instituted and structured by God Himself. The devil hates God, he hates you and anything that has to do with God and you. He hates it to the bone. And because God designed you to be happy, and He designed marriage to be happy and He designed your children and family to be happy, the enemy will go to great lengths and do whatever he can to make sure that you are not happy. He will do whatever he can do to make sure that you are not happy, that you don’t have a happy marriage and that you don’t have a happy family and that you don’t have a happy life. He will go through great extents for this to bring havoc, chaos, division, disruption, strife and so many other things that destroy marriages, families, homes and people.

You must realized that Satan has hired and assigned demons, demonic forces and influences, spirits or whatever you choose to call them, to do this. So what you must do Beloved is realize that you have to deal with the matters of your marriage, home or family in a spiritual way. You must get to the point that enough is enough and you won’t be battered, abused, stress out, suicidal, etc any more. DO YOU HEAR ME? IT IS TIME FOR YOU TO GIRD YOUR SELF WITH ALL THE SPIRITUAL WEAPONRY THAT YOU KNOW. Well you may say I’m too weak, I’m too tired, I don’t even have the mind or the energy any more because I’ve been so stressed out. WELL LISTEN CAREFULLY HERE MY FRIEND, YOU BETTER GET SOME IF YOU HAVE TO GO BUY SOME BECAUSE AS LONG AS YOU ARE AND STAY IN THAT STATE OF MIND THE DEVIL IS GOING TO CONTINUE TO WORK, CONTROL AND REIGN IN YOUR MARRIAGE, YOUR FAMILY AND YOUR LIFE. THE DEVIL IS NOT PLAYING WITH YOU. HE IS OUT FOR THE KILL ON YOUR LIFE. DO YOU HEAR ME? DO YOU REALLY HEAR ME? HEAR ME WELL! HEAR ME WELL! I’M USING THIS EMPHASIS AND THIS TONE TO AWAKEN SOME WHO ARE JUST OR HAVE JUST SAT BACK AND LET THE ENEMY WORK HAVOC IN THEIR HOMES, LIVES AND FAMILIES. YOU MUST BELIEVE THAT GREATER IS HE WHO IS IN YOU, THAT GOD ON THE INSIDE OF YOU IS GREATER THAN ANY MAN, ANY WOMAN, ANY DEVIL, ANY SPIRIT OF FEAR AND ANY OTHER SPIRIT OR FORCE OF DARKNESS OR HOST OF HELL, ON EARTH OR HELL BENEATH, OR IN THE HEAVENLY ATMOSPHERE ABOVE. YOU MUST BELIEVE THIS, YOU MUST BELLIVE THIS. THIS IS THE TIME THAT YOU MUST BE DESPERATE ENOUGH ABOUT YOUR SITUATION TO TAKE SOME KIND OF ACTION TOWARD CHANGE.

ARE YOU DESPERATE ENOUGH TO TAKE SPIRITUAL ACTION LIKE NEVER BEFORE.? FOR THE WEAPONS OF YOUR WARFARE ARE NOT CARNAL BUT MIGHTY THROUGH GOD TO THE PULLING DOWN OF STRONGHOLDS, CASTING DOWN IMAGINATIONS, AND EVERY HIGH THING THAT EXALTETH ITSELF AGAINST THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOD AND BRINGING INTO CAPTIVITY EVERY MIND THOUGHT TO OBEDIENCE CHRIST.” 2 CORINTIANS:10:4-5

PUT ON THE WHOLE ARMOR OF GOD AND KEEP IT ON – EPHESIANS 6:13-18

The next thing that came to my mind while I was in prayer and intercession was “Fasting”. I thought about how God honored the sacrifices of fasting in the bible when the people or leaders fasted. Would not God still move for you, for us if we fast today,? HE ABOLUTELY WOULD MOVE FOR US TODAY IF WE FAST.

ARE YOU DESPERATE ENOUGH TO FAST UNTIL YOU GET DESIRED RESULTS?

A decree went out for the Jews to be killed and destroyed. Esther fasted and called for her people and the animals to do a 3-day fast. God reversed the edict of the king. Esther found favor with the king as she entered the king’s presence and had her wish granted; Haman the Jew’s main enemy, the conspirator of the plot to have the Jew killed and destroyed was hung. The day the Jews were supposed to be slaughtered was the very same day that was turned into a day of great rejoicing and celebration. Esther chapters 4 – 9.

In the book of Nehemiah, you will read about how Nehemiah wept, fasted and prayed for His people. He rebuilt the walls of Jerusalem , despite the threats, intimidation and opposition of his enemies.

In Daniel Chapter 10, Daniel went on a fast and the angel of the Lord informed him that his prayers were heard the first day he started his fast and prayed. The angel also came to give him a word of the Lord and a word concerning the future to come. (At the end of this discussion I have included a section on Types of Fasting that will be resourceful and helpful to you.)

WHAT IS THE LORD SAYING TO YOU NOW?

WHAT WILL YOU DO NOW? WHATEVER YOU DO, DO IN THE NAME OF JESUS, AND IN THE POWER AND AUTHORITY OF THE GOD IN YOU. AND DO IT PERSISTENTLY AND CONSISTENTLY WITH INTENT. JUST GET FIERCE ABOUT IT.

For some of you, you will be fasting and praying against some of the following spirits that are working or ruling in your marriage or home. If what you are dealing with is not on this list, then you identify it and call it out and bind it and arrest it in the name of Jesus, and with the power and authority of God:

Spirits of: fear, control, intimidation, manipulation, lust, perversion, pornography, child pornography, homosexuality, adultery, fornication and all other sexual sins, lying, etc. etc.

Fear, one of the strongest spirits that come against or stand up against God’s people is fear. YOU MUST REALIZE THAT GOD IS GREATER THAN YOUR GREATEST FEAR OR FEARS. Fear comes to stymie you. Fear comes to paralyze you. Fear comes to stagnate you, keep you from looking ahead and keep you from moving ahead. Fear comes to drain you and rob you of your peace, your physical and mental strength. Fear comes to sabotage. YOU MUST NOW BECOME THE ENEMY OF FEAR. AND FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE BEEN BOUND AND TORMENTED BY THE SPIRIT OF FEAR, I PRAY RIGHT NOW IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST AND BY THE AUTHORITY OF JESUS CHRIST THAT YOU SPIRIT OF FEAR BE BOUND RIGHT NOW IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST. YOU SPIRIT OF FEAR I COMMAND YU AND DEMAND YOU TO LOOSE YOUR SELF FROM ANY PERSON THAT YOU HAVE HAD IN YOUR GRIPS, WHEN THEY READ THIS. I COMMAND YOU MAN, I COMMAND YOU WOMAN TO RISE UP, STAND UP, AND LET THE GOD IN YOU ARISE AND DENOUNCE THE SPIRIT OF FEAR. I COMMAND YOU TO GET IN CONTROL OF THE SPIRIT OF FEAR AND TO DECLARE WITH YOUR MOUTH THAT FEAR NO LONGER RULE IN YOUR LIFE, YOUR HOME. THAT FEAR NO LONGER HAS YOU TIED, GAGGED OR BOUND. THAT FEAR NO LONGER IS YOUR ENEMEY BUT THAT YOU ARE AN ENEMY OF FEAR NOW. I COMMAND YOU TO, I DEMAND YOU TO IN THE MIGHTY NAME AND THE AUTHORITY OF JESUS CHRIST. BE FREE FROM FEAR. THE ANOINTING OF THE HOLY GHOST BRAK THE CHAINS AND YOKES OF FEAR OFF OF YOU, OFF YOUR MIND AND YOUR SPIRIT RIGHT NOW IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS CHRIST, NOW. BE LOOSED FROM FEAR RIGHT NOW, BE FREED FROM FEAR RIGHT NOW FOREVER. IN JESUS’ NAME. DECLARE LOUDLY AND BOLD “I AM FREE FROM FEAR. FEAR HAS NO GRIP OR CHAINS ONN ME, I AM FREE FROM FEAR. I WALK AND LIVE IN THE POWER OF THE LIVING GOD. I WALK AND LIVE IN THE POWER OF THE MOST HIGH GOD, AND THE GOD OF HEAVEN AND EARTH IS WITH ME AND BACKING ME. THE GOD OF HEAVEN AND EARTH AND IS ON THE INSIDE OF ME STANDING UP IN ME MIGHTILY, AND I AM FRRE FROM FEAR AND AM NO LONGER AFRAID OF FEAR. FOR GOD HAS NOT GIVEN ME A SPIRIT OF FEAR, BUT OF POWER AND LOVE AND A SOUND MIND. AND BECAUSE HAS NOT GIVEN ME A SPIRIT OF FEAR I WILL NOT ACCEPT YOU SPIRIT OF FEAR AND I REJECT AND DENOUNCE YOU SPIRIT OF FEAR IN THE NAME OF JESUS.

DO NOT LET FEAR OR ANY OTHER SPIRIT KEEP YOU IN IT’S BONDAGE. CALL ON THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS AND THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST, AND STAND UP TO THAT SPIRIT AND ANY OTHER SPIRIT FACE TO FACE IN JESUS’ NAME. AND IF YOU CANNOT DO THIS TO A PERSON’S FACE, THEN DO IT IN THE SPIRIT FACE TO FACE WITH THAT SPIRIT IN THEM. AND IF YOU EVER GET IN A POSITION WHERE YOU HAVE TO ENCOUNTER SOME ONE FACE TO FACE, THEN YOU LOOK THAT SPIRIT RIGHT SMACK BULL’S EYE IN THEIR EYES AND THEY WILL SEE THE MIGHTY GOD THAT IS IN YOU. SO THE NEXT TIME THEY LOOK YOU IN YOUR EYES WITH THAT SPIRIT, IN THE SPIRIT AND AUTHOIRTY OF JESUS, GO RIGHT ON AHEAD AND LOOK THEM BACK STRAIGHT IN THEIR EYES AND DON’T YOU FLINCH, AND YOU AND THEM WILL SEE GOD AND HEAVEN BACK YOU UP, AND THAT PERSON WILL LITERALLY FLEE AND RUN FROM YOU IN TERROR, BECAUSE THEY WON’T BE SEEING YOUR NATURAL EYES BUT THEY WILL BE SEEING AND LOOKING AT THE EYES OF THE ALMIGHTY GOD, THE ALL POWERFUL GOD, THE MOST HIGH GOD AND THE LORD OF HOSTS FROM OUT OF YOUR BEING. BECAUSE GOD IS IN YOU, AND IF YOU HAVE THE HOLY SPIRIT ON THE INSIDE OF YOU, HE IS IN YOU MIGHTY, ALL-POWERFUL, WONDERFUL AND AWESOME, JUST AS HE IS FROM HIS THRONE IN THE HEAVENS ABOVE.

YOU MUST NOW DEAL WITH THESE SPIRITS FROM A SPIRITUAL POSITION AND STAND IN YOUR SPIRITUAL AUTHORITY, AND BIND THEM, ARREST, AND DISARM THEM. DECLARE THAT THEY ARE POWERLESS IN YOUR LIFE AND THEY NO LONGER CAN HAVE PLACE OR RULE IN YOUR LIFE OR YOUR HOME. GET SOME PRAYER PARTNERS OR INTERCESSORS TO BE FASTING AND PARYING WITH YOU WHEN YOU DO THIS. THIS WILL BE EVEN MORE EFFECTIVE. BUT PEOPLE OF GOD WE MUST NOW BECOME FIERCE AND DELIBERATE ABOUT OUR SITUATIONS LIKE NEVER BEFORE.

NOW, WE MUST BECOME VIOLENT, FIERCE AND DELIBERATE ABOUT OUR SITUATIONS LIKE NEVER BEFORE.

Beloved I pray that you now realize like never before what you are actually dealing with but more importantly that you realize how and what you must do as it relates to your situation(s). my prayers are continual for marriages, couple, singles and all of God’s people who may be in relationships that are ailing for whatever reason and that have God’s people living in bondage, fear or any kind of oppression.

Beloved your life is hopeful,
Because God is faithful!!!
Lovingly, Dr. Melody Barclay


TYPES OF FASTING

There are different variations of fasting in the bible. You will also find in the bible that there were always results because of the fasting.

Partial Fasting: Skipping meals like not eating breakfast or lunch, only eating dinner; or eating breakfast and lunch and not eating dinner; not eating before a certain time. (

Abstinence: Not eating foods you love for a certain time or period (steak, wings. pizza, coffee, deserts, etc. Abstinence also mean you can give up television, talking on the phone and hanging out with your buddies, eating out, shopping for clothes, shoes or fun, etc. The money that you would ordinarily use for eating out, shopping or entertainment, use it as a seed to sow into your church and God’s kingdom. (Daniel 9:3; Daniel 10:2, 3 “In those days I Daniel, was mourning three full weeks. I ate no pleasant food, no meat or wine came into my mouth, nor did I anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled.”)

Specified Fasting: May include just eating vegetables; vegetables & fruits; just liquids or soups; just water for a day, etc. (Daniel 1:8, 11, 12, “But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s delicacies, nor with the wine…vs.11 “So Daniel said to the steward whom the chief of the eunuchs had set over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. Vs. 12 “Please test your servants for ten days and let them give us vegetables to eat and water to drink.”)

Complete/Total: No consumption of food or water for a specified period of time. (Esther 4:15-17; Chap. 9)

FASTING IS GURANTEED TO GET YOU RESULTS AND CHANGE

IMPORTANT: Always pray or seek the Lord about your fasting, so that He can give you the grace or enablement by His Spirit to fast. Fasting doesn’t have to be tedious or hard. The Spirit of God can give you a ‘grace’ to fast and you will have the mind, will, and desire to fast. Your hunger and appetite will also subside when the Lord gives you the grace to fast. You also might want to ask the Lord to give you the grace/anointing to fast, when you want to fast for long periods of time.
