21-Day Fast, Day 1
Congratulations! You are now beginning a 21-day period of fasting and prayer. During these next 3 weeks, we will believe together for miracles, for breakthrough in our spiritual lives, and to lean into God like never before. For some, this may be a tried-and-true practice and part of your ongoing relationship with God. For others, this may be the first step towards a deeper relationship with our Creator and Saviour, Jesus. Wherever you find yourself on this journey, know that although this will be difficult, the rewards are a sharpened spirituality for you and a stronger church as each one of us plays our part. Also, know that you are not alone, but are joining together with many others who will be doing this together. Here are some things to keep in mind over the next 21 days.
What is a fast?
A Biblical fast means to go without food for a period of time to humble ourselves so that we can be free to seek God. (2 Chronicles 7:14) We put aside earthly appetites to develop the right spiritual appetites.
What does this look like for me?
Although a true Biblical fast is going without food, the principle of abstaining from something in order to pray and seek God is an honorable practice. We encourage you to find a plan you can do for the full 21 days. Whatever you choose to do, make sure to consult a medical professional before making any drastic dietary changes. Here are some other options for you:
Only eat one meal a day for 21 days
Skip a meal once a day for 21 days
Abstain from a certain food that you really like
Abstain from all social media
Do 1 or 2 days without any food and give up coffee 7 days
These are just a few suggestions but make sure you spend time every day on your own in prayer. Fasting without prayer is just a diet.
What should I pray about?
We want to lean into God like never before and we are a church that prays. Pray for the breakthrough you are believing for, pray for the salvation of those in your world who don’t yet know Jesus, pray for our pastors and leaders, pray for our government and elected officials, pray in the Spirit, pray in the morning, pray at night, thank God for what He has done and who He is, pray when you’re hungry, pray that God’s Kingdom would be established on the earth. Pray, pray! Pray for these needs of New Beginnings Church.
