We are on Day 2 of a 21 Days of Prayer & Fasting at Victory. Many people are fasting many different things. Everything from media to certain foods. (some of our staff here wanted to fast some of our meetings ... not a chance.)
This is an exciting time, but it can also be very challenging as well. So, let me just take a little time to explain WHY we are fasting at Victory Church. During this season of prayer and fasting, we seek the Lord in these areas:
- Believing God for answered prayer to our specific needs.
- Declaring our dependence on God in every area of our lives.
- Asking God for clarity on our NEXT STEP as a church. (land, building, another site?)
- Asking for forgiveness for our sins and the sins of our land.
- Praying for the completion of the Great Commission.
- Inviting the Presence of God in our church and our lives.
- Crying out to God for revival in our generation.
Also, here are a few resources:
- Daniel Plan
- Read The Circle Maker & Fasting (you can get a journal, DVD, the book, etc.)
- Pick up a "21 Day Devotional" or download it here (scroll to the bottom of the page)
- Also, go to facebook and tell us your story and keep up with my video blogs.
Remember, ditch the whole idea of, "This is awesome, I can lose a few pounds AND be super spiritual too!" Just deny the physical and crave the spiritual.
Wow, I found this post and this is exactly what the Lord was speaking to my heart about. I started my fast today. This confirmed what God was leading me to do.I am trying to stop letting social media and technology from distracting me from doing what God is calling me to do. I find myself side tracked every day. I'll tell myself I will just check Facebook real fast, my emails, twitter, blogs, news etc... and before I know it hours have passed by. Praying for self-discipline. Have a blessed day. Kim
