21 days of Prayer and Fasting...

We have decreed a 21 day of Prayer and Fasting as from 22nd February to 14th March...

What does prayer and fasting do for you:
  • Prayer and Fasting are spiritual actions - makes you spiritual instead of carnal. It helps to crucify the flesh and walk in the spirit.
  • Prayer changes you and your situations - in the bible, people called by God to bring great changes had a prayer and fasting life...Moses (Exo.34:28), Elijah (1 Kings19:8), Daniel (Dan. 9:3), Esther (Esther 4:15-16), Anna(Lk 2:37) Jesus (Lk 4:1-2), the early church (Acts 13:1-3, Acts 14:23), Paul (Acts 9:9, 2 Cor. 11:27).
  • Fasting is a form of worship...(Jn 4:24, Acts 13:2)
  • Fasting produces humility and remember James 4:6-10, God gives grace to the humble.
  • Fasting restores spiritual order as God ordained (1 Thess.5:23);
  1. Spirit
  2. Soul
  3. Body
We have divided the 21 days of Prayer and Fasting into 7 titles and expectations...
Today the 22nd is the 1st day and until the 24th, we are praying and fasting for Consecration and Sanctification.
Always pray in line with the word...

Pray...Matt. 6:33 - 2 Chron. 7:14 - Jas 4:7 and Rom. 12:1

Pray and humble yourself before the Lord...Repent and seek the Lord. Listen for God's leading and directions. Pray to develop the character of God (Gal.5:22)

We will be praying and fasting for 3 days.

We recommend:
  • Do not eat anything pleasant - such as chocolates, meat and fizzy drinks
  • Do not eat food sacrificed to idols
  • Drink lots of water
  • Replace your eating time with prayer
  • Avoid distractions such as TV...Take this time to pray and study
  • Start your day with meditation in the Word and Worship
  • Eat fruits and vegetables
  • Listen to Praise and Worship
Recommended times of prayer 6am, 8.30am, noon, 8pm - Ps 55:17, Dan. 6:10-13
BOLDLY DECLARE THAT...
YOU ARE BLESSED IN THE NAME OF JESUS.
CHANGES ARE OPERATING IN YOU, THROUGH YOU AND FOR YOU.
YOU ARE STRONG!
YOU CAN HEAR THE VOICE OF GOD.
