This Podcast is from Oct. 19th 2025 with Pastor Travis titled Fasting Forward.
Ezra 1-8 (NKJV) is summarized.
Ahava: the kind of love found between friends, family, or between humans and God. affection, loyalty, and deep emotional connection.
What is a fast? Fasting is a sacrificial form of prayer warfare that produces results available in no other way.
Ezra 8:21-23 (NKJV)
21 Then I proclaimed a fast there at the river of Ahava, that we might humble ourselves before our God, to seek from Him the right way for us and our little ones and all our possessions. 22 For I was ashamed to request of the king an escort of soldiers and horsemen to help us against the enemy on the road, because we had spoken to the king, saying, “The hand of our God is upon all those for good who seek Him, but His power and His wrath are against all those who forsake Him.” 23 So we fasted and entreated our God for this, and He answered our prayer.
Leviticus 19:18 (NKJV)
18 You shall not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the children of your people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am the Lord.
Isaiah 58:3 (NLT)
3 ‘We have fasted before you!’ they say. ‘Why aren’t you impressed?
We have been very hard on ourselves, and you don’t even notice it!’
“I will tell you why!” I respond. “It’s because you are fasting to please yourselves. Even while you fast, you keep oppressing your workers.
(True or False Worship) 58:1-12 Read

Ezra 8:31-32 (NKJV)
31 Then we departed from the river of Ahava on the twelfth day of the first month, to go to Jerusalem. And the hand of our God was upon us, and He delivered us from the hand of the enemy and from ambush along the road. 32 So we came to Jerusalem, and stayed there three
days.
