TWENTY-ONE DAYS OF PRAYER
And Fasting
This is a time when we intentionally seek God every day in prayer; believing for Jesus to move in a powerful way. Together we collectively humble ourselves, posture our hearts towards Jesus and ask Him to move inside of us and around us.
January 15th - February 4th
This year we are asking for REVIVAL. REVIVAL is a return to life, a restoration of dead things, and a renewal of life in order to see our lives and everything around us flourish. REVIVAL is a reclaiming of what is already ours.
2 Chronicles 7:14 says,
“if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”
We are not seeking a religious event but a supernatural experience in which we believe God will meet us and begin to RECLAIM what was stolen and as people, lives, and places come back to life we believe we will see people planted in His Kingdom and flourish in His Presence.
We see an outpouring coming like that of the early church. “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
Acts 1:8
As we seek to reach the ends of the earth with the Gospel, we will begin by asking God to begin to move in us, join us on this journey to REVIVAL.

Fasting.
The goal of fasting is to draw nearer to God. Biblical fasting always has to do with eliminating distractions for a spiritual purpose; it hits the reset button of our soul and renews us from the inside out. It also enables us to celebrate the goodness and mercy of God and prepares our hearts for all the good things God desires to bring into our lives. Remember, your personal fast should present a level of challenge, but it is very important to know your body, your options, and, most importantly, to seek God in prayer and follow what the Holy Spirit leads you to do.
TYPES OF FASTING
Complete Fast.
In this type of fast, you drink only liquids, typically water with light juices as an option.
Partial Fast.
This fast is sometimes called the “Jewish Fast” and involves abstaining from eating any type of food in the morning and afternoon. This can either correlate to specific times of the day, such as 6:00 am to 3:00 pm, or from sunup to sundown.
Selective Fast.
This type of fast involves removing certain elements from your diet. One example of a selective fast is the Daniel Fast, during which you remove meat, sweets, and bread from your diet and consume water and juice for fluids and fruits and vegetables for food.
Soul Fast.
This fast is a great option if you do not have much experience fasting food, have health issues that prevent you from fasting food, or if you wish to refocus certain areas of your life that are out of balance. For example, you might choose to stop using social media or watching television for the duration of the fast and then carefully bring that element back into your life in healthy doses at the conclusion of the fast.
