21 Days of Fasted Prayer

Join this transformative approach to living in 2024.

Living in the world is like standing on a down escalator. You don’t really have to try very hard to drift away from God.  Most people that end up  far from God didn’t wake up one morning and say, “I think I am going to move away  from  God.”  We  sort  of  drift  further  and  further  from  God because it is natural when you live in a fallen world.

It is our desire that the entire family participates in this time of fasting. You are never too young or too old to live what  God  has  promised. Josiah at the age of 8 became king (2 Kings 22). Moses was 80 years old when he was called to lead the children of Israel out of bondage (Ex. 3).

Our 21-Day fast this year is a Daniel Fast.   You can access a link below for additional information on the Daniel Fast.  We encourage you to challenge your natural man. If you regularly fast, consider a liquid fast for one or more days a week.  You may also expand your fast to include (a partial fast, social media, technology, etc.) 

During your fasting time, you will be provided a daily devotional.  While abstaining from food and other pleasures, you will draw closer to God, seek clarity for God’s desire for you and your family in 2024.
