Derek Prince "The Doorway to Restoration." Quote from the video and video message,
There’s one great pattern of restoration recorded in Old Testament history, it’s the restoration of God’s people from captivity in Babylon to the city of Jerusalem to their own land,
and the record of the rebuilding of God’s temple in Jerusalem. Now if you take the historical books that relate to this particular phase of the history of God’s people, if you take them in order of time, not the order in which they occur in Scriptures, they are Daniel, Ezra, Nehemiah and Esther. And it was a tremendous revelation to me when I realized one day that every one of those persons after whom those books are named was a person who had practiced fasting. And God showed me again there’s a very close relationship between fasting and restoration as indicated in Isaiah 58:12. https://youtu.be/PPprOxh62dk
