This year’s topic is “Intercession” and we are so excited about it! We are convinced you will be blessed and transformed through the process. As always, here are a couple of encouragements as you go:
- Fasting is voluntary and unto the Lord. You won’t be judged for your participation. If you opt to not follow this schedule, thinking it too intense, we encourage you to determine your own level of fasting and then follow along with the daily readings and prayer. There is power in all genuine sacrifice. Also, if you have any concerns about fasting that are related to medical issues, consult your doctor before participating. Seriously, we would visit you in the hospital, but we don’t want to have to. ;-)
- Fasting is about denying ourselves those things that are normal and natural to surrender more of our attention to that which is normal and supernatural – His Presence. That is why we include the modern element of media in our fast. Many of those innocent diversions consume massive amounts of energy and focus. Gifting that time to God reaps amazing rewards.
- Fasting doesn't earn us brownie points with God, but it does clear space within and around us for Him to move and speak and reveal in ways we may have yet to experience. Expect your level of sacrifice to be met with new levels of grace, faith, power and, yes, PRESENCE!
