Fasting & Prayer

Corporate Prayer and Fasting - beginning January 7th - 28th 2008

LORD, SEND A REVIVAL AMONGST US!

If you read the book of Acts you’ll find that most of the church growth (souls being added and multiplied) happened as a result of God moving in a corporate gathering. CONSIDER YOUR OWN LIFE! I want to see us all go to the next level—but it is going to take prayer! That is why we are excited about special times of fasting and prayer. Our hearts are crying out, "LORD TOUCH YOUR PEOPLE AGAIN! LORD DO SOMETHING NEW IN OUR LIVES AND IN OUR WORSHIP SERVICES!"

We must set aside time to focus on praying and receiving His Spirit in our lives. 

Here are some suggestions to help you in your prayer times and also Corporate Prayer times:

We understand that there are many different ways to pray as there are Christians, but these guidelines will help us all stay on track.

1.  Set yourself apart for the LORD. Switch off TV, Video games, other "meaningful"  distractions and pick up your Bible and begin to READ the Word of God - the Bible.

  2.  Establish a daily time and a place for prayer. Do not allow anything or anyone to take this time away.

  3.  You can fast one meal, two meals or go on a dry fast, where you will not eat any meats, sweets, breads, but drink water and eat dry bread / toast or have clear soups. Please consult your doctor if you have any health conditions.

  4. Come to Church service with your Bible, come prepared to express your love towards the LORD. Join in to praise and worship the Lord and to have extended time of ministering unto the LORD.

  5. Beginning January 7th, daily take 30 minutes to pray (kneel if you can) and repent of those things that God will remind you. Ask your family to forgive you if you have offended them or ask forgiveness of one another. Forgive others. Ask the LORD to forgive you, the Holy Spirit is going to bring conviction upon your heart as your soak in prayer.

  6. Read the Word of God daily for 30 minutes. We encourage the congregation to read the entire book of Deuteronomy during these days.  Commitment to doing this on a consistent basis is very important.

  7.  Join us during the week for corporate time of prayer and worship. This may require you to sacrifice some outside activities, but with proper planning your schedules you will be able to prioritize these times of prayer. Everyone is encouraged to come on these days, They are marked with dark shade in the calendar.

  8.  If you do not know what to pray, read the Psalms and pray those prayers unto the LORD. Remember, repentance will bring in times of refreshing from the Father God. (the devil may try hard to keep you distracted but you have to keep all these distractions out of your life)

  9.  Pray for the following points: a) Salvation of souls; b) Personal Renewal; c) Marriages to be strengthened; d) Hearts to be prepared; e) Physical and emotional healing to take place; f) Holiness to be established in your life; g) Hearts to be softened for the move of God; h) Families to be restored; i) children to be filled with the Holy Spirit; j) Youth to be revived for the LORD, worldly influence to break off; k) Hearts to be become obedient unto the LORD in the area of commitment, worship, prayer and giving; l) God to bring in the increase; m) Academic success in the lives of the students; n) Financial increase; o) Families to be filled with joy and peace in the Holy Spirit.
