WHY ENGAGING IN PRAYER AND FASTING FOR CHURCH GROWTH
Every praying church is a growing church.
Isaiah 58:6-9, Jer 29:13, Matt 17:19-21
Fasting is prescribed for facilitating answers to our prayers.
Every forces of hell must always bow to the combined forces of Faith, Prayer and Fasting.
Ezra 8:21-23
Psalm 103:7
You cannot engage the ways of God and not command waves.
Acts 3:26 - Jesus was sent primarily to bless us.
Blessings would always have an audience.
No one ever argues with a blesser.
The easiest form of evangelism is the proclamation of blessing.
2 Chronicles 20:17-22
• We serve a God is increase. Acts 2:47
• We serve a God of increase.
• We serve a God of multiplication.
• We serve a God of great multitude.
• We serve a city taking God.
• We serve a nation taking God.
Engaging our spiritual armour is what makes us destroy demonic installations of the wicked.
This is what leads to irresistible triumph.
It is however prayer that gives value to fasting. When prayer is absent, fasting holds no spiritual value - it is mere dieting.

No, not every praying church is a growing church.
You can't take Old Testament verses and apply them to the church. The church didn't exist then. The promises made to Israel don't apply to the church.
Fasting, faith, and prayer isn't a secret weapon to get what you want from God.
Jeremiah 29:13 says this:
(Jeremiah 29:13 NIV) You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.
The church has already found God. Israel had deserted God so it isn't the same.
There isn't much in your post that's an accurate application of the Bible.
