January 1st – January 22nd 

 Join us in prayer during this fast in the main auditorium on Monday-Thursday anytime between 6:30AM – 8AM and 11:00AM-1:00PM.

 We are so excited for the new year and to start this fast with you!  

 
In Matthew chapter 6, Jesus said "WHEN you give, WHEN you pray, and WHEN you fast."  As followers of Christ, these areas are not merely suggested, but expected.  Whether you've never fasted before, or you've already discovered the power of this Biblical practice, we are excited for you to partner in faith with us!

The goal of fasting is first and foremost to draw nearer to God. Biblical fasting hits the reset button of our soul and renews us from the inside out. It also enables us to celebrate the goodness and mercy of God and prepares our hearts for all the good things God desires to bring into our lives.  Perhaps you are believing for breakthrough in a specific area. Whether it's direction, finance, family, or healing, fasting denies your flesh and builds your spirit, realigning your focus on God!  

Remember, your personal fast should present a level of challenge with the ultimate goal of seeking God in prayer and drawing nearer to His heart. It should follow what Jesus outlined in Matthew 6:16-18 and not be legalistic or bragging, but done with a humble heart before God. "One of the greatest spiritual benefits of fasting is becoming more aware of our own inadequacies and God's adequacy; becoming more aware of our own failings and His self-sufficiency. The purpose of all disciplines, including fasting, is to change us so that we may become more Christ-like. Fasting helps us to listen to what God wants us to be and do and opens doors we could never open without the anointing that fasting brings." - Jentezen Franklin
