Pastor Matt Hagee: "The Power That Comes Before the Battle"

Why do some prayers feel powerful—while others fall flat? In this Sunday Conversation, Pastor Matt Hagee teaches on the often-ignored spiritual discipline that intensifies prayer and prepares believers for victory: fasting.

Using Matthew 17, Pastor Matt explains why the disciples were powerless while Jesus moved a spiritual mountain instantly—and why Jesus said, “This kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.” This message reveals how fasting strengthens faith, trains the flesh, confronts unbelief, and prepares believers for spiritual battles before they arrive.

If you want more than routine prayer—if you want spiritual authority, supernatural power, and mountain-moving faith—this message is for you.
