21 Days of Prayer and Fasting
January 6, 2020 - January 26, 2020
We are so excited about our 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting coming up in January from the 6th to the 26th! Join us as we posture ourselves to encounter the Lord in new ways and welcome him into our lives daily by removing distraction. Check out the resources below to start planning and believing today!
Throughout the book of Daniel we see that fasting resulted in wisdom, spiritual insight and breakthrough in answered prayer. We are going to align ourselves with scripture and start the year off with a church-wide Daniel Fast and read the Book of John together, one chapter each day.
The Daniel Fast is a partial fast in which we abstain from specific food groups. This takes our delight off of food and onto God’s presence. Fasting is not about trying to prove or earn anything, it is simply a posturing of our lives to hunger and thirst for more of Jesus. Below you will find a full list of foods to sustain you throughout the fast, what to cut out of your diet, and other resources to grow in intimacy with the Lord throughout the fast.
3 components of the Daniel Fast:
- Only fruits, vegetables, nuts, legumes, and whole grains
