21 DAYS OF BREAKTHROUGH

WE INVITE YOU TO JOIN US FOR OUR 21 DAYS OF PRAYER AND FASTING. THE DISCIPLINE OF PRAYER AND FASTING IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO TAKE EVERYDAY THINGS THAT WE EAT OR PARTICIPATE IN AND TURN THEM INTO OPPORTUNITIES TO SPEND TIME PRAYING TO GOD. TRADE-IN SOMETHING GOOD FOR SOMETHING GREATER!

FOR SOME, THIS MAY BE THE FIRST TIME HEARING ABOUT PRAYER AND FASTING OR IT'S A REGULAR PRACTICE IN YOUR CHRISTIAN WALK. WHEREVER YOU MAY LAND, WE WANT TO ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO PICK JUST ONE THING FROM WHICH TOO FAST FOR THE 21 DAYS. DURING THIS TIME WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO READ, PRAY, JOURNAL, AND MEDITATE ON HIS WORD. AS WE DO THIS, WE ARE ABLE TO PURSUE A DEEPER RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS CHRIST, THROUGH THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. IF YOU COULD FAST FROM SOMETHING FOR 21 DAYS TO FEAST FOR 344, WOULD IT BE WORTH IT?

WHAT IS FASTING?

FASTING IS A TIME WHERE WE AS BELIEVERS TEMPORARILY ELIMINATE DISTRACTIONS, SO THAT WE CAN GIVE OUR UNDIVIDED ATTENTION TO GOD. WE DO THIS SO WE CAN SET ASIDE OUR OWN DESIRES AND DISTURBANCES, HUMBLING OURSELVES, SO THAT GOD’S VOICE CAN BE HEARD. THE FOCUS IS TO DRAW CLOSER TO GOD, NOT TO STARVE.

TYPES OF FASTS

DANIEL FAST

FOR THREE WEEKS, DANIEL, WHO WAS A PROPHET DURING A TIME WHEN ISRAEL LIVED IN EXILE, ABSTAINED ONLY FROM “DELICACIES” LIKE MEAT AND WINE (DANIEL 10:3).

DURING THIS FAST YOU WILL REMOVE MEATS, SWEETS, BREADS, AND ONLY CONSUME PLANT-BASED MEALS.

ITEM FAST

THIS OPTION IS GREAT FOR THOSE THAT DON’T HAVE EXPERIENCE IN FOOD FASTS OR HAVE HEALTH RESTRICTIONS. IT WILL ALLOW YOU TO REFOCUS YOUR LIFE.

YOU WILL FAST THINGS THAT CAN BE DISTRACTING, SUCH AS, SOCIAL MEDIA OR TELEVISION UNTIL THE END OF THE FAST AND THEN BRINGS THESE ITEMS BACK SLOWLY.

PARTIAL FAST

IN THIS TYPE OF FAST YOU WILL ABSTAIN FROM EATING ANY FOOD DURING THE MORNING OR THE EVENING.

THIS CAN BE FOR A SPECIFIC SET OF TIME SUCH AS 6:00 AM TO 3PM OR FROM SUNRISE TO SUNSET.

COMPLETE FAST

A COMPLETE FAST MEANS TO DRINK ONLY LIQUIDS, USUALLY WATER AND JUICES.

Day 10: There's a Catch

Scripture: Luke 5:1-11

AS WE SEEK TO EXPERIENCE GOD IN OUR DAILY LIVES, WE MUST BE WILLING TO OBEY JESUS. IN LUKE 5, JESUS BORROWED PETER’S BOAT FOR THE DAY TO USE AS A MOBILE AMPHITHEATER FOR HIS TEACHING. IMAGINE PETER, SITTING IN THE BOAT AND LISTENING TO JESUS, PERHAPS DOZING OFF FROM STAYING UP TOO LATE FISHING THE NIGHT BEFORE. WHEN JESUS WAS READY TO CALL IT A DAY, HE INVITED PETER TO CAST THE NETS OUT FOR A LAST-MINUTE CATCH. DESPITE CATCHING NOTHING ALL NIGHT AND BEING TOTALLY EXHAUSTED, PETER OBEYED JESUS. AND THAT’S ALL IT TOOK — SIMPLE OBEDIENCE! THE NEXT THING HE KNEW, PETER WAS PULLING UP NETS THAT WERE BURSTING WITH FISH. JESUS IS MORE THAN JUST A GOOD TEACHER. HE IS GOD’S VERY LIFE IN HUMAN FORM, AND HE HAS WISDOM THAT CAN CHANGE EVERYTHING FOR US. ALL WE NEED TO DO IS SAY YES TO JESUS, AND GOD WILL HELP US CATCH ONTO THE MIRACULOUS WORK THAT HE WANTS TO DO IN OUR LIVES.

REFLECTION QUESTIONS:

  1. HOW HAVE YOU EXPERIENCED GOD THROUGH ONE OF YOUR HOBBIES OR ROUTINES?
  2. WHAT HAS JESUS BEEN TEACHING YOU THROUGH EXPERIENCE LATELY?
  3. REFLECT ON A TIME WHEN YOU SAID YES TO JESUS. WHAT HAPPENED NEXT?
