  • In Shansi I found Chinese Christians who were accustomed to spend time in fasting and prayer. They recognized that this fasting, which so many dislike, which requires faith in God, since it makes one feel weak and poorly, is really a Divinely appointed means of grace.

The results recorded in Luke show that history changed forever through the strength and victory the Lord gained by His obedience. Divine power was now His!
