On Sunday, January 7th, the FMBC Faith Family will kick off our 21-Days of Praying and Fasting. During this time, we will collectively ENGAGE our relationships and walks with Jesus in a more personal and powerful way. This time with the Lord will Equip and Empower us continually throughout the 21 days and beyond.
Perhaps, some of you might be asking “What is Prayer and Fasting?”
I remember hearing a powerful preacher once say; “Prayer is earthly license for heavenly interference”. In other words, Prayer is our ability to connect and commune with God inviting Him to move on our behalf as we listen for His response. Remember, a Praying Church is a Powerful Church!
Fasting on the other hand is a Sacrificial step for a Spiritual Purpose; denying ourselves and disconnecting from the pleasures of this world which makes it easier for us to hear God when He speaks. Simply put, Fasting allows us to deny the desires of the Flesh, so that we may commune with the Father and gain access to greater Power in the Spirit.
A few tools to help you along the journey are:
