We are kicking off 2024 with a prayer and fasting emphasis, January 8-28. During these 21 days, we’ll meet corporately for prayer at the church Monday-Saturday. Make plans to come – there is power as we join our hearts and voices in intercession!

Mon. – Fri. 6:00-7:00 AM

Sat. – 9:00 – 10:00 AM

“When you fast, do not look somber as the hypocrites do…But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face, so that it will not be obvious to men that you are fasting, but only to your Father, who is unseen; and your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.”  -Jesus

Possible Methods:

Pick the whole period, or so many days a week, to do:

  • A Daniel fast – fruits, nuts, and vegetables only
  • A juice fast – fruit (or vegetable) juices only
  • A water fast – water only
  • Once a day fast – eat only one meal a day for the duration of the forty days.
  • Media fast (for youth and possibly others)

Breaking fast on Sunday is fine in moderation…it is traditionally a feast day.

Tips:

Fasting is to be done with:

  • Humility
  • Secrecy
  • A joyful spirit of self-denial
  • Expectancy that God will reward

This DaySpring fast is to be done with the prayer requests below in mind.

Declare a Holy fast; call a sacred assembly…and cry out to the LORD. (Joel 1:14)

Pray for these items daily. Expect miracles.

  • For an unsaved friend or relative or associate or neighbor. Write down the name of this person.
  • For three special personal requests.

Be…

joyful in hope,

patient in affliction,

faithful in prayer.     (Romans 12:2)
