Fasting & Prayer Resources

Fasting is the most powerful spiritual discipline of all the Christian disciplines. Through fasting and prayer, the Holy Spirit can transform your life.

Fasting and prayer can also work on a much grander scale. According to Scripture, personal experience and observation, I am convinced that when God's people fast with a proper Biblical motive-seeking God's face not His hand-with a broken, repentant, and contrite spirit, God will hear from heaven and heal our lives, our churches, our communities, our nation and world. Fasting and prayer can bring about revival - a change in the direction of our nation, the nations of earth and the fulfillment of the Great Commission.

The awesome power can be released through you as you fast through the enabling of the Holy Spirit.


We know that God loves to reward those who diligently seek Him. As we seek God in the next 21 days of Prayer and Fasting, we believe God will renew our faith, remind us of our purpose, and that we will experience a greater intimacy with Him. We believe God will transform not only our lives, but the world around us. 

Below are the explanations of the 4 fasting options for you to chose from:

Fast 1 | Sugar

Sugar fast – (The average American consumes 3 lbs of sugar a week) This is a fast where one will maintain their regular diet but will remove all processed sweets and sugars. Desserts and sugar can often times be a way we deal with or cope with stress. Removing sugar (not including natural sugar in whole fruits) is a way to refocus our attention on Jesus and allow him to bear the weight of our stresses. Matt 11:29

Fast 2 | Freedom

Freedom Fast – Some of us are in bondage to something in our life whether it is an addiction, unhealthy behaviors, or relationships (Examples of things to pick: caffeine, fast food, smoking, alcohol, pornography, credit cards). If this is something that resonates with you, let go of this thing that has you bound and replace it with time in scripture and prayer. You may need to allow someone into this process as we often need each other to step into freedom. Gal 6:2

Fast 3 | Daniel

Daniel Fast – Dan 10:3 This is a fast where one will limit their diet to focus their attention on Jesus and to be filled with the Holy Spirit. Before embarking on any drastic change to your diet, consult your doctor to make sure there are no health issues you need to be aware of. This is not a weight loss program it is a way to help you focus more on Jesus. As to the specifics on the fast; the only foods eaten during the 21 days are:

o Fruits and vegetables

o Whole grains

o Legumes and nuts

o Avoid processed food, sugar, meats, and alcohols

o Dairy can be added for those with dietary needs

Fast 4 | Personal

Personal Fast – Ask the Lord in prayer what He would have you fast and be obedient to what He says. This should be personal and something that you give up in order to gain closer intimacy with the Lord. 2 Chronicles 7:14
