WHAT IS GOD ASKING OF YOU? 


STEP 1:  Choose a Fast

Fasting is an invitation from the Lord for us to engage with Him in a heightened way. There is no right or wrong way to fast, and there are many different kinds of fasts to choose from. Here are several ways you can participate:

  • 1-day fast each week for the entire day
  • 3-day liquid fast
  • 7-day Daniel fast or liquid fast
  • 1 meal per day

Common Fasts:

  • Water fast: Abstaining from all forms of food and drink other than water
  • Juice fast: Abstaining from all solid food and only drinking juice and water
  • Daniel fast: Eating only vegetables and abstaining from meats, sweets, etc.
  • Selective meal fast: Abstaining from certain meals and snacks throughout the day and only eating a reduced amount during a single designated mealtime

Regardless of the type of fast you choose to participate in during the prayer and fasting, it’s important to pray about what God is leading you to do, as well as consult a doctor and educate yourself if you have any questions or health concerns.


STEP 2:  Remove Comfort

We encourage you to set aside some of the comforts that consume your time and spend extra time seeking God’s face. Here are a few comforts that you can abstain from:


  • Social media (Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, TikTok)
  • Entertainment (movies, TV, YouTube)
  • Buying material items (instead, donate and give to the poor)
  • _________ (fill in the blank)



STEP 3:  Pray and Intercede

Scripture teaches us that something unique and powerful happens when believers gather together in faith to seek God and cry out to Him with one voice. Here are some ways to engage through prayer and worship:

  • Attend our prayer meetings
