The Call
Prepare to embark on a radical 14-day fast from January 3-16, as we boldly seek God for grace, protection, and prosperity in 2025!
Purpose
We'll be fasting for:
extended grace (John 1:16)
divine protection (Psalm 91:1-2)
unmerited prosperity (Proverbs 3:9)
unity (1 Corinthians 1:10)
understanding (Isaiah 11:2-3)
Preparing for The Fast
Physical
In the days before the fast, consume lighter foods to ready the body for the sudden change in routine.
Assess your limits.
Decide the level of sacrifice that best fits you.
Spiritual
Customize your fasting focus to suit your personal needs. For instance, determine what you are trusting God to accomplish in terms of grace, protection, and prosperity.
The Process of Fasting
From 6AM to 6PM EST each day, abstain from consuming food and beverages. This practice is called a dry fast.
During the hours outside the 12-hour dry fasting period, you can eat anything except meat (example: poultry, red meat, fish, seafood, etc.)
Avoid sexual intercourse for the duration of the 14-day period.
Spiritual Practices During the Fast
Personal:
Incorporate daily prayers and meditations.
- Use time traditionally spent eating for spiritual reflection.
Journal your thoughts and experiences.
- Documenting thoughts can enhance self-awareness and spiritual growth.
Corporate:
Meet each morning via Zoom at 3 AM EST
- Unite in prayer before the start of each day
Meet each evening via Zoom at 7:30 PM EST
- Connect with others who are also fasting for shared motivation, prayer and exhortation.
Navigating Challenges
Identify common obstacles.
- Be aware of physical discomfort, cravings, and distractions.
Build mental resilience when confronted with challenges.
- Use techniques like breathing exercises, walks, or reading to manage challenges.
Allow for grace in slip-ups.
- Understand that perfection isn’t the goal; learn from any missteps.
Post-Fast Reflection
Reflect on personal insights gained during the fast.
- Assess the spiritual and emotional growth achieved in during this fasting period.
Make a plan for reintegration.
- Gradually return to normal eating habits to maintain physical health.
Reflect on how to incorporate lessons learned into everyday life.
- Determine ways to continue spiritual practices beyond the fast.
The Work Begins
Fasting is a profound journey that demands significant sacrifice but offers even greater rewards. Instead of focusing on the reward, embrace the journey and the closeness it fosters with God and others. Stay positive, rejoice continuously, pray without stopping, and give thanks in all circumstances.
