Ed Silvoso, founder of Harvest Evangelism, tells the story of apastor who was walking alongthe seashore. As he was tryingto enjoy the scenery a swarmof flies began bothering him.
There is a spiritual truth here, the Lord said. Understand the life cycle of the fly and you will begin to understand how toget rid of the negative spiritualissues in your life. Upon investigation the pastor found that the life cycle of the adult fly is 21 days in the sum-mer. The larva stage of the fly is a few days and the pupa stage is three to seven days.The truth then became clear. If you can get rid of a fly and its offspring, then the cycle of the fly’s generation is broken and you will be rid of all flies.
The Lord the told him to pro-claim truth for forty days. Spe-cifically he told the pastor to take an area of your life inwhich you want freedom. Findforty key biblical verses in that area and proclaim them astruth for forty days.
