Kingdom Culture 7-Day Church Fast
From: Thursday, July 25th
To: Wednesday, July 31st
What to fast: Social media, TV, Movies. It should also have a food component whether it’s giving up a meal, or meat, or doing all liquid. In whatever way you choose to fast, make sure it’s safe yet sacrificial, achievable yet still challenging.
2 Samuel 24:24 I will not offer burnt offerings to the Lord my God with that which costs me nothing.
Why: We are seeking the Lord’s face and His favor. This means that we are disconnecting from worldly pleasure in pursuit of intimacy with Him. This is a week of consecration, setting ourselves apart in preparation for the Lord (Exodus 19:10-11).
We will be having a night of worship and repentance next Wednesday, July 31st at 6:30pm.
Joel 2:15-18 Blow the trumpet in Zion, consecrate a fast, call a sacred assembly; Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, assemble the elders, gather the children and nursing babes; Let the bridegroom go out from his chamber, and the bride from her dressing room. Let the priests, who minister to the Lord, weep between the porch and the altar; let them say, “Spare Your people, O Lord, and do not give Your heritage to reproach, that the nations should rule over them. Why should they say among the peoples, ‘Where is their God?’” Then the Lord will be zealous for His land, and pity His people.
2 Chronicles 7:14 If My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.
