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 9: Your Will Be Done

Scripture: Matthew 6:9-10

TAKING ANOTHER BREAK FROM MOSES’ STORY, TODAY WE READ FAMILIAR WORDS OF JESUS FROM THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT. THESE ARE THE FIRST TWO VERSES OF THE LORD’S PRAYER, OR THE PRAYER THAT JESUS INSTRUCTS HIS FOLLOWERS TO PRAY EVERY DAY. AS WE EXPLORE THE NOTION OF PARTNERING WITH GOD TO JOIN HIM WHERE HE IS ALREADY WORKING, JESUS’ WORDS HERE ARE ESSENTIAL. HOW CAN WE DISCERN WHERE GOD IS WORKING IN OUR LIVES? HOW CAN WE RELIABLY ACCEPT HIS INVITATION TO JOIN HIM AS PARTNERS? JESUS KNOWS HOW TO HELP US EXPERIENCE GOD EVERY DAY. HE GUIDES US THROUGH THIS PRAYER, BEGINNING WITH AN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF GOD AS OUR UNIQUELY-HONORED HEAVENLY FATHER. THE PRAYER THEN MOVES INTO A BOLD REQUEST IN WHICH WE ASK FOR GOD’S WILL TO BE DONE ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN. EXPERIENCING GOD IS ALL ABOUT REALIZING THAT AS WE PRAY FOR GOD’S WILL TO BE DONE, WE BECOME PART OF THE ANSWER TO OUR OWN PRAYERS. JESUS BROUGHT GOD’S KINGDOM TO US, AND NOW WE ARE PART OF THE UNFOLDING OF GOD’S WILL IN HISTORY. EACH OF US HAS GIFTS, RESOURCES, AND RELATIONSHIPS TO STEWARD. AS WE ASK TO SEE MORE OF GOD’S KINGDOM AND GOD’S WILL ACTUALIZED IN OUR LIVES, WE BECOME MORE AWARE OF OUR ROLE IN WHAT GOD IS DOING IN OUR MIDST TODAY.

REFLECTION QUESTIONS:

  1. WHAT DO YOUR PRIORITIES AND THOUGHTS REVEAL ABOUT YOUR WILL IN RELATION TO GOD’S WILL?
  2. WHAT WOULD CHANGE ABOUT YOUR LIFE IF YOUR WILL WAS MORE ALIGNED WITH GOD’S WILL?
  3. WHAT IS SOMETHING THAT YOU ARE ASKING GOD TO DO IN YOUR LIFE RIGHT NOW? WHAT IS YOUR PART TO PLAY IN THE ANSWERING OF THAT PRAYER?
