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?

TRADE IN SOMETHING GOOD FOR SOMETHING GREATER

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 17: Adjustable

Scripture: Exodus 4:18-19; 4:27-5:21

EXPERIENCING GOD REQUIRES ADJUSTMENT. WHEN JESUS BEGAN HIS MINISTRY, HE TOLD EVERYONE TO REPENT, OR CHANGE THEIR WAY OF LIFE. AFTER MOSES RECEIVED ALL THAT HE NEEDED FROM HIS CONVERSATION WITH GOD, HE HAD TO MAKE SOME BIG LIFE CHANGES. MOSES HAD TO RELOCATE HIS WHOLE FAMILY TO EGYPT. HIS BROTHER AARON WAS ALSO PACKING A BAG TO ACCOMPANY MOSES ON HIS NEW JOURNEY. AND WHEN MOSES FINALLY GOT IN FRONT OF PHAROAH, HE HAD TO BE WILLING TO ADJUST WHEN HIS REQUEST WAS FLAT-OUT DENIED. IN ORDER FOR US TO JOIN GOD IN WHAT HE IS DOING, WE MUST ALWAYS MAKE MAJOR ADJUSTMENTS. AS WE HAVE SEEN IN MOSES’ LIFE, GOD WORKS IN SURPRISING AND COUNTERINTUITIVE WAYS. GOD LOVES TURNING THINGS UPSIDE DOWN AND FLEXING HIS POWER IN WAYS THAT NOBODY WOULD EXPECT. IF WE ARE GOING TO RESPOND FAITHFULLY TO GOD’S VOICE AND JOIN HIM WHERE HE IS WORKING, THEN WE WILL NEED TO CONSTANTLY REPENT, REEVALUATE, AND MAKE ADJUSTMENTS EVERY DAY.

REFLECTION QUESTIONS:

  1. LOOKING AT THE CHALLENGES THAT MOSES FACED IN THIS PASSAGE, WHAT WOULD BE THE HARDEST ADJUSTMENT FOR YOU TO MAKE?
  2. WHAT SUCCESS OR COMFORT COULD TEMPT YOU TO RESIST GOD’S INVITATION TO GO DO SOMETHING ELSE?
  3. HOW WILL YOU ADJUST YOUR EXPECTATIONS, DREAMS, AND PRACTICES TO BE USED BY GOD HOWEVER HE CHOOSES?
