We commit to fasting the first three days of the month to give God the first fruits of our time! This ongoing commitment reminds us to humble ourselves and deny our flesh as a spiritual discipline to live Spirit-led lives.
Mark 9:29 - "And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting." – Scripture reminds us that some victories will only be seen as we commit to the discipline of prayer and fasting.
WE DO NOT FAST to change God’s mind or to get results. We fast so that we can hear clearly from God that we may receive the instructions and strategy for walking in victory! Victory that aligns with His will for our lives.
AUGUST FASTING DETAILS: Thursday, August 1st to Saturday. August 3rd from 6am - 6pm
Each day we will have water only from 6am – 6pm
During the times we’re not fasting(from 6pm to 6am), we will commit to clean eating and nourishing our bodies with fruits, vegetables, and whole grains—no processed foods!

TIPS + PREPARATION
Plan;organize your food/meals, prayer points, times, etc.
Focus:Avoid TV, social media, and distractions, and stay focused on this time that you’ve dedicated to God. We must actively reject the temptation of busyness during this time.
Attend prayer,our corporate morning prayer time each day, and select additional prayer times throughout your day!
Journal what you’re hearing and seeing throughout this time dedicated to God.
Remember, without faith, we cannot please God; keep your Spirit strong and full of faith for what you believe to be accomplished throughout this fast. We must have faith that God sees and hears us and will be faithful to respond to His people. (Hebrews 6:11)
Clean hands and pure hearts: stay out of gossip, arguments, and ungodly conversations that open doors to the enemy.
Remember, worship is a weapon!
Meditate on God’s Word! Recite scripture out loud, and declare the Word over your life.
