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 14: A Crisis of Belief

Scripture: Exodus 4:1-17

TODAY WE ONCE AGAIN FIND MOSES OBJECTING TO GOD’S CALL ON HIS LIFE. IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT WHEN WE HEAR GOD SPEAK, WE OFTEN WILL EXPERIENCE A CRISIS OF FAITH. GOD’S WISDOM CUTS AGAINST THE GRAIN OF HUMAN INTUITION. FOR MOSES, THAT MEANT CARRYING A STAFF THAT COULD ALSO BECOME A SERPENT! GOD’S MEANS OFTEN APPEAR TO US AS INEFFECTIVE OR INEFFICIENT WHEN IT COMES TO SECURING ENDS, YET HE CHOOSES TO WORK IN UPSIDE-DOWN WAYS. MOSES WHO IS INELOQUENT IS SENT AS GOD’S MOUTHPIECE TO PHAROAH. JESUS WHO DIES ON A CROSS IS SENT AS GOD’S SAVIOR TO THE WORLD. WHEREVER GOD IS WORKING, WE CAN BE SURE THAT WE WILL BE CHALLENGED TO TRUST IN HIM OVER OUR OWN METHODOLOGIES, STRATEGIES, AND PLANS. WHEN WE FIND OURSELVES IN A CRISIS OF FAITH, WE LEARN WHAT WE TRULY BELIEVE AND WHERE OUR ALLEGIANCES TRULY LIE. THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT GOD WANTS TO PARTNER WITH US, EVEN IN OUR UNBELIEF. TWICE IN THIS SHORT PASSAGE GOD ASSURES MOSES THAT HE WILL HELP HIM SPEAK AND TEACH HIM EVERYTHING HE NEEDS TO KNOW. GOD IS WILLING TO DO THE SAME FOR YOU TODAY.

REFLECTION QUESTIONS:

  1. AT WHAT POINTS DID MOSES EXPRESS HIS CRISIS OF FAITH IN THIS PASSAGE?
  2. WHAT DO MOSES’ QUESTIONS REVEAL ABOUT HIS VIEW OF HIMSELF?
  3. WHAT DOES THIS PASSAGE TEACH YOU ABOUT GOD?
  4. ARE YOU EXPERIENCING A CRISIS OF BELIEF? IF SO, WHAT DOES TRUSTING GOD AND TAKING A NEXT STEP IN OBEDIENCE TO HIM LOOK LIKE PRACTICALLY?
