Getting Ready

This 21 Day Fast is strategic! 

We really feel that God is going to deposit something truly powerful to us both corporately and individually through these 21 days. God has made things very clear as we have been getting ready for this next season. He has strategically planned this out for this time. He has given us a blueprint on what to do and how to do it. Stay with us!

The ways you can take part:

PRAY - Jesus made it so clear just how important it was to pull away and spend time with our Father, this is vital for where He is leading us.

COME - We will be meeting corporately  (in the sanctuary) every night at 7pm through these 21 days for strategic prayer and worship. These services will be available on our website only for anyone that cannot be here in person. Please make every effort possible to attend.

PARTICIPATE - As stated earlier, this Fast is strategic... Therefore we will remain in step with our Father even in our reading. Papa has been so gracious to highlight even specific reading for each day of this 21 day fast. Please make every effort to digest what He is trying to speak to us both corporately and individually. This reading plan will be made available every morning through our church App. or on our website linked HERE

PREPARE
As was stated a couple of weeks ago the time is now to prepare for our fast. We don't want to just try to figure things out last minute. As we begin this fast on January 2, 2022 we want to be able to dive right in and focus!

How do I prepare for this fast?

I am glad you asked. We truly believe that what God is focused on getting us "in step" with Him. In order to do this, we've got to make sure that we are including Him in the conversation. It's simply sitting with Him in order to gain His thoughts, His ways, His desires for you and our church community through this time.  Let's make this real practical; in the coming days (prior to Jan.2, 2022) set aside a few minutes each day to sit with Papa and ask Him the following questions;

Father, what would You like me to fast during these 21 days? (often times we have a preconceived plan that we come up with - though God honors our hearts desire to sacrifice, He may have a different plan for you - sorry to say this but.... His plan is always better than ours!) What you fast is between you and Him only.

Father, is there anything going on in my life that will be a distraction for me through this fast? If so, what can I do to remove this distraction?  (Many things can distract us from being able to really dig in with Him. Unforgiveness, financial issues, family problems, job issues, etc. He has a divine strategy to deal with all distractions if we will just ask.)


Father is there anything else you would like me to do in preparation for this fast? (Once again, fasting without seeking His heart will be less effective than doing it with Him)


This is not an exhaustive list of questions for you to ask but rather examples of the types of questions that I believe, He wants us to ask. The whole point of a fast, is to get SELF OUT OF THE WAY. Its telling ourselves that God is more important than anything else! It's getting out of my flesh and into the Spirit.


Last but not least...

Commit, Commit, Commit!  Society has a way of looking at things through the lens of "instant results". That is not the way that this works. YOU CAN DO THIS! Even if you mess up along the way, don't be religious about it. Get right back to it and finish this through! There is something powerful about enduring to the end. Jesus said "By your endurance you will gain your lives" Luke 21:19
