"Ch 8 crazy to think one can run a church yet have a prayer life in ruin.
Many leaders have a great practice of 2 hours in morning dedicated to prayer
Some even 7 hrs a day!
Ch 9 some churches have members that dedicate first 7 days to fasting until 7 pm
Some churches fasting never stops, they just take turns.
Matt6:16 when you fast.
Jesus expected his followers to fast.
Some only allow those in fasting to baptize" — Feb 02, 2026 01:02PM
