The Bible teaches us about Prayer and Fasting throughout scripture. Fasting is simply setting something aside (as the Lord leads) that would be a sacrifice and then spending that time & energy in more prayer and Bible reading.

The benefits of prayer and fasting is that your "fleshly desires" are crucified, and your spiritual man that is connected to God becomes stronger and more sensitive to the Holy Spirit.

In the Book of Daniel, we see that he fasted for 21 Days to receive an answer to his prayer and need. We read that there was spiritual warfare in the spiritual realm that tried to hinder his prayer being answered. His fasting along with prayer brought forth the breakthrough that he needed.

Great examples and prominent figures all fasted in the Bible for spiritual reasons. Moses, Elijah, Daniel, Nehemiah, David and even Jesus himself all fasted at different times. Fasting helps our spiritual walk and our hearts become more pliable to the Lord.

Be sure to consult with your doctor and join us for 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting as we seek the heart of God for the beginning of the new year.
