Twentyone Days
Of Fasting

for Spiritual Breakthrough

Matthew 17:21:

"Howbeit this kind goeth not out

but by prayer and fasting".

Instructions for Twentyone Days of Prayer and Fasting…..

We will start our Prayer and Fast on Monday, January 18, 2010

and collectively abstain from food unless medically required

between the hours of 6:00am and 12:00pm daily.

We are also requesting during evening hours of our fast
that we pull away from some of the distractions

(i.e. TV, video games, talking on the phone)

and read our Bible and Pray.

Daily we will read

3 John 1:2:

"Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper

and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth".

Breakthrough Areas for which we are seeking God……………

1. Blessing of our Pastor and Co-Pastor
2. Blessing of our Country
3. Growth of FBC
4. Financial Provision & Blessing or to get out of Debt
5. Physical Healing for a family member, friend or self
6. Victory over sins
7. Restoration of a relationship
8. To quit bad habits
9. Overcome an addiction
10. Salvation for a family member or friend
11. Promotion or New Job Opportunity
12. Deliverance from Spiritual Oppression

During the Fast, cut back from some of the things that could be holding you back from going to the next level.

For example here are some suggestions:
1. If you drink soda: drink water
2. If you smoke a whole pack of cigarettes: cut back to a half pack
3. If you watch too much TV: read your Bible during that time
4. If you eat "Fast Foods" cook some healthy meals
5. If you like eating sweets, snack on some veggies
6. If you like to sit home and watch TV: go for a walk on the trail or in a store

Examine your life and figure out what areas you need a breakthrough in. Everyone has something different that they are dealing with and during this time we can come together and see the manifestation of our Prayers.

We will collectively end on Sunday, February 7, 2010.

Remember to call into our Prayer line at 6:30am and 12:00pm (712) 432-1699 pin 349644#.
