So our worship team at the moment is talking about fasting!  It’s the most powerful spiritual discipline that is kind of missed in a lot of Christians lives.
We believe that fasting should be a lifestyle, something we live out every week of our lives.  It’s defs good for shedding a few pounds, which we all like to do at times, but inside of us all, is a yearning to be so much closer to God.  To be intimate with our God, to hear His voice clearly, to enjoy His company, to know His thoughts, to share in His glory.  For us to have such access to the All Mighty God is really a privilege and an honor.  It’s a responsibility not to take lightly.
So many things in our world need fixing, need to be rebuilt, transformed, thoughts need to be reshaped, lives need to be helped, and prayer and action only get us halfway there.  If we can embrace the spiritual discipline of fasting again, there is no stopping God from revolutionizing humanity as we know it.

1 Chronicles 7:14 says “Then if my people would humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land.”

The best days for the Church of Jesus Christ are definitely RIGHT NOW.  God can heal lives, churches, communities, nations and the world.  That same transforming power lives within us, and when we fast, humble ourselves before God, deny our self, our soul, and pray and seek God, ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE.

So we encourage you guys, seek God wholeheartedly, try it out, pray and fast and see God radically change your life.

Here’s just a little info on fasting for ya!
Be blessed.

What is Fasting:
Fasting is “afflict soul or self,” is to practice self-denial.

Why do we Fast:
To humble ourselves before God and seek His face!

Psalm 35:13 David said, “I put on a sackcloth and HUMBLED myself with fasting.”

The 5 ways of Fasting.

1-Normal Fast – No food, water only
Produces greater humility and deeper repentance.
2-Total Fast – No food, No water
Only if God is really leading you to do it and you have spoken to a pastor to help walk you through it.
3-Daniel Fast – Daniel 2:10; Fruits, Vegetables, and water.  No bread, no juices, no meats or desserts.
4-Partial Fast – This is about cutting flesh addictions (especially for those that cannot fast food).  Ex. T.V., Movies, Facebook/Twitter, anything that matters a lot to you and could be taking time away from God.
5-Corporate Fast – A normal fast with a corporate group.  Brings power and unity within a group.

So much love
