WHAT IS FASTING?

When we fast, we are disconnecting from the world, while prayer is used to connect with God. Biblical fasting is not starvation or an involuntary absence of food. Instead, it is abstaining from food for spiritual reasons. When looking at Scripture, a Biblical fast is not the same as a hunger strike or a diet; it is a spiritual discipline that draws us closer to God.

WHEN IS IT?

January 6th through January 26th

WHY WE ARE DOING IT?

Then I proclaimed a fast there at the river of Ahava, that we might humble ourselves before our God, to seek from Him the right way for us and our little ones and all our possessions.
Ezra 8:21

The Bible teaches us that there are issues that can only be broken through prayer and fasting. We’re praying and fasting for a spiritual breakthrough in the areas where there is stagnation, limitation, and delay.

1. To humble ourselves before God
