2025 Fast-3 (1).png
INFORMATION

Dates: Monday 1/20 - Sunday 2/9 after service

 

Focus: Personal time with God through prayer, reading the Word, and worship should be your primary focus. Whatever fast you select should be a tool to help you carry out that intention. 

 

Types of Fast: Some examples of fasts are listed below, select one, or even do a combination of them over the course of the 20 days. Either way, make being with Him the main thing, not what you may be giving up.

 

  • Full fast - Water or Natural/non-processed liquids only.

  • Daniel Fast - abstain from meat, dairy, and processed foods. Instead eat only a plant-based diet of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, nuts, and seeds.

  • Time-based/Partial Fast - ie. full fast from 12am to 5pm daily.

  • Combo - Select periods of time to do the different types of fast. (ie. start with, or build up to 1-7 days of a full fast).

 

Prayer Times:

  • Wednesdays 12pm-1pm - Corporate Prayer.

  • Saturdays 8am-9am - Worship & Prayer.

    • The Final Saturday, 2/8 will be the launch of what we will call “Second Saturdays”, our new Corporate Prayer Time.

 

Other Considerations:

  • Families - we encourage you to find ways for your children to participate and learn the spiritual discipline of fasting and consecration. 

  • The dietary guidelines of certain fasts may not be appropriate for every person or situation. Please feel free to adjust, amend or consult your doctor based on your health requirements.

MAKING YOUR SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCE THE BEST IT CAN BE:

Bill Bright, Founder of Cru (Campus Crusade for Christ) 


Receiving God's best blessing from a fast requires solid commitment. Arranging special time each day with God is absolutely crucial in attaining intimate communion with the Father. Devote yourself to seeking God's face, even (and especially) during those times in which you feel weak, vulnerable, or irritable. Read His Word and pray during what were mealtimes. Meditate on Him when you awake in the night. Sing praises to Him whenever you please. Focus on your Heavenly Father and make every act one of praise and worship. God will enable you to experience His command to "pray without ceasing" as you seek His presence.

 

As you enter this time of heightened spiritual devotion, be aware that Satan will do everything he can to pull you away from your prayer and Bible reading time. When you feel the enemy trying to discourage you, immediately go to God in prayer and ask Him to strengthen your resolve in the face of difficulties and temptations. The enemy makes you a target because he knows that fasting is one of the most powerful of all Christian disciplines and that God may have something very special to show you as you wait upon Him and seek His face. Satan does not want you to grow in your faith, and will do anything from making you hungry and grumpy to bringing up trouble in your family or at work to stop you. Make prayer your shield against such attacks.

 

Do not become so caught up in praying for yourself and others that you forget about simply reverencing and praising God. True spiritual fasting focuses on God. Center your total being on Him, your attitudes, actions, motives, desires, and words. This can only take place if God and His Holy Spirit are at the center of your attention. Confess your sins as the Holy Spirit brings them to your attention and continue to focus on God and God alone so that your prayers may be powerful and effective. A renewed closeness with God and a greater sensitivity to spiritual things are usually the results of a fast. Do not be disappointed if you do not have a "mountaintop experience," as some do. Many people who have successfully completed extended fasts tell of feeling a nearness to God that they have never before known, but others who have honestly sought His face report no particular outward results at all. For others, their fast was physically, emotionally, and spiritually grueling, but they knew they had been called by God to fast, and they completed the fast unto Him as an act of worship. God honored that commitment. Your motive in fasting must be to glorify God, not to have an emotional experience, and not to attain personal happiness. When your motives are right, God will honor your seeking heart and bless your time with Him in a very special way.
