When Fasting and Prayer Bring Chaos

Sometimes when you fast, pray, and stand in faith for breakthrough, things don’t just stay the same, they seem to get worse. Like all hell is breaking loose. Why?

Imagine a squatter being evicted from a house by the bailiff (because that is what your prayer and fasting is doing; evicting the enemy and taking back territory).

As he walks out, he stands on the sidewalk for a moment, screaming, cursing, and making threatening gestures. That’s the backlash. But does he still have rights to the house? No. Does he still have the keys? No. He’s barking on the public road, but he can’t get back inside.

Your prayers evicted the squatter. The chaos you now see in your life? It’s the eviction tantrum. The enemy’s furious because his legal right is gone, his access revoked. He’s screaming on the sidewalk, but he can’t get back in.

The backlash proves your authority worked. Stay locked in prayer and expectation. Stand firm.
