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 20: The Follow-Through

Scripture: Exodus 5:22-6:8

AS WE NEAR THE END OF OUR TOUR LOOKING AT MOSES’ LIFE AND EXPERIENCE OF GOD, WE SEE GOD FOLLOWING THROUGH ON EVERYTHING THAT HE SAID THAT HE WOULD DO. WHEN MOSES WAS OBEDIENT TO JOIN GOD WHERE HE WAS WORKING, GOD WAS FAITHFUL TO ACCOMPLISH HIS PURPOSES THROUGH MOSES. THOUGH WE DID NOT READ FURTHER IN THE EXODUS STORY TODAY, EVERYTHING THAT GOD SAID IN VERSES 6 THROUGH 8 WAS ACCOMPLISHED. MOSES EXPERIENCED GOD BY OBEYING HIM STEP BY STEP, ONE DAY AT A TIME. EVENTUALLY, ALL OF THE ENSLAVED ISRAELITES ALSO EXPERIENCED GOD THROUGH MOSES’ OBEDIENCE AS GOD WORKED THROUGH MOSES. WHEN WE LOOK FOR GOD’S WORK IN OUR LIVES, SEEK TO GROW OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM, AND PARTNER WITH HIM IN OBEDIENCE, GOD ALWAYS FOLLOWS THROUGH ON HIS PART. HE ALWAYS KEEPS HIS PROMISES, ALWAYS DELIVERS. JESUS IS THE PROOF THAT GOD IS STRONGER AND MORE LOVING THAN ANYTHING THAT STANDS IN HIS WAY. AND FOR US TO EXPERIENCE GOD, THE ONLY THING WE NEED TO DO IS OBEY HIM. AS WE DO, HE WORKS IN US AND THROUGH US SO THAT EVEN MORE PEOPLE CAN COME TO KNOW THE LOVE OF JESUS. MAY WE BE THE KIND OF PEOPLE WHO EXPERIENCE GOD EVERYDAY AND PURSUE BEING THE GOOD NEWS OF JESUS IN EVERY PLACE THAT GOD TAKES US!

REFLECTION QUESTIONS:

  1. HOW HAS YOUR EXPERIENCE OF GOD CHANGED OVER TIME AS YOU HAVE FOLLOWED JESUS?
  2. HOW DOES MOSES’ STORY HELP YOU BETTER UNDERSTAND YOUR OWN RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD?
  3. HOW DO YOU HOPE TO EXPERIENCE GOD TODAY? WHAT ABOUT TOMORROW?
