Call to Prayer and Fasting

21 Days of Prayer and Fasting

FOCUS:
In conjuction with our "Breaking Point sermon series , I believe this is a great opportunity
for us to enter in to a time of Prayer and Fasting.

The fast is a spiritual discipline designed to better connect us with God. As a church,
we are fasting to prepare our hearts for what God is going to do, and to stretch our faith to
 believe Him for Big Miracles. The best way to do this is to redirect our food source.
This is accomplished through substituting our regular food intake with Bible reading,
praying, and journaling. The overall goal is to experience a genuine hunger for spending
time with God and to grow our faith in what God Can Do!

TIMELINE:

Sunday, September 29: Begin the “Daniel Fast”
At dinner, we will begin to introduce meals with pure foods of fruits and vegetables.
This plan will continue for the next 21 days.

Wednesday, October 18: Break the Fast

MENU:

The Daniel's Fast is a partial fast, which means that we will eliminate some common things
 from our daily diet, but will have generous options available. We will focus on eating fruits
and vegetables that are pure and simple. We have included a list of foods to eat and goods
 to avoid.

If you have any condition which would prohibit you from being a part of the Daniel Fast,
there are other options. Choose somethig from your daily routine (i.e. specific foods or
beverages, television, other technology, etc.) and fast in that manner for the next 10 days.
Remember, the details are not as important as the spirit in which you participate.

*If you have any known medical conditions or suspect such conditions, consult your doctor
 before beginning the fast.

FAST FORWARD:

God is certain to bless your life in new and exciting ways during the fast.
We encourage you to write down your prayers and the many ways God reveals Himself to you.
Praise Him for the relationship you have with Him and the work He is doing in your life.

Join me in this awesome time:

Blessings
Danny

    Hi Pastor Danny,
    I am very excited this series is starting. You can count me in to join the church in the fast and watch God reveal his blessings not only to me and my immediate family, but to our church family as well.
