Acts 10:30 recounts the story of Cornelius, who fasted and prayed as he sought God’s guidance. His faithfulness in fasting led to a supernatural encounter with a messenger of God. The fast was a part of Cornelius’ devotion to God, showing his humility and desire to hear from the Lord. Fasting and prayer are not merely rituals but acts of faith that position us to receive from God. Cornelius’ story reminds us that when we fast in sincerity, seeking God’s will, He will respond with revelation and direction. The connection between fasting, prayer, and vision is powerful—fasting opens our hearts to God’s messages, and prayer strengthens our faith to receive them. This story encourages us to continue seeking God through fasting and prayer, knowing that He honors our devotion and is faithful to respond to our spiritual hunger.
