30 Sermon Dos and Dont Prayer and fasting is good in preparation for a sermon, but try the prayer and fasting before you’re even asked to preach. For many, it is easier to pray and listen to the still small voice before a sermon assignment has been added to your workload. If you maintain regular prayer and fasting, the workload of a sermon will not be work at all. The purpose of fasting is to allow us to have a greater portion and awareness of God’s Spirit. If we are in the spirit, we can be in tune with the mind and will of God. If we are in tune with God’s mind and will, spiritual thoughts will abound--sermons will not be a struggle. Prepare when you don’t have to! The best time to start preparing for a sermon is before you are asked to speak! Never let yourself get caught with the ‘What am I going to speak about’ blues. Keep in a daily spiritual frame of mind and your problem will not be ‘what do I say?’ but ‘how am I going to narrow down everything the Lord has shown me!’
