Staying in the Word while fasting will help as well, and as FB said, PRAY.

You are right... reading the Word is important too.
I know that my brother also said that in walking with God, we think we have conquered things of the flesh, but in fasting, we can also be shown hidden things in our hearts or bring to surface things that we need to deal with. Reading the Word while fasting can make you more sensitive to understanding as you are reading.
I know that when I am studying and not understanding some things, I will pray, dedicate a fast for a time of studying and things will become more clear as I study.
