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 8: God's Invitation

Scripture: Exodus 3:7-10

GOD HEARS THE CRIES OF THE OPPRESSED THROUGHOUT THE PAGES OF SCRIPTURE. AS WE RETURN TO MOSES AND THE BURNING BUSH, GOD IDENTIFIES A BIG PROBLEM THAT HE INTENDS TO REMEDY. GOD IS A GOD OF JUSTICE, AND HE IS ALSO A GOD WHO DESIRES RELATIONSHIP AND PARTNERSHIP WITH PEOPLE. SO, GOD’S JUSTICE FOR THE ENSLAVED ISRAELITES COMES IN THE FORM OF A HUMAN AGENT, MOSES, WHOM GOD SENDS TO PHAROAH. EXILED AND ALONE ON A HILLSIDE, MOSES IS CALLED BY GOD TO TAKE UP A NEW VOCATION AS THE LIBERATOR OF AN ENTIRE PEOPLE GROUP. THIS STORY REVEALS TO US THAT GOD NOT ONLY INITIATES A RELATIONSHIP WITH US, HE INVITES US TO PARTNER WITH HIM TO CARRY OUT HIS GOOD PURPOSES IN THE WORLD.

REFLECTION QUESTIONS:

  1. DID GOD GIVE MOSES ALL THE DETAILS OF HIS CALLING HERE AT THE BURNING BUSH? WHY OR WHY NOT?
  2. GOD’S INVITATION TO MOSES TOOK THE FORM OF A COMMISSION IN THIS STORY. HOW HAVE YOU BEEN COMMISSIONED BY GOD TO JOIN HIS WORK IN THE WORLD TODAY?
  3. WHAT INJUSTICES IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD OR CITY CAN YOU HELP TO REMEDY AS AN AGENT OF GOD’S LOVE AND JUSTICE IN THE WORLD?
