We are calling the body of Christ to do a 21-day fast and prayer, if you cannot do 21, do 14, or 7 or 3 days. However we are encouraging a
spiritual discipline where we abstain from certain foods, media, or distractions for three weeks to focus intensely on God, for breakthroughs, direction, healing, or deeper intimacy in 2026.
The examples are the Daniel Fast (no meat, sweets, bread) or complete liquid fasts, and is common fasts for renewal and growth.
**Purpose & Significance**
Spiritual Discipline: Humbling oneself, prioritizing God, and strengthening your faith in Christ.
**Seeking Breakthroughs**
We believe for Holy Spirit encounters, financial, family, and personal miracles.
**Intimacy with God**
Deepening one's relationship and understanding Jesus' heart.
**Renewed Focus**
Shifting focus from worldly desires to spiritual focus.
**Fasting Types**
Daniel Fast: Abstaining from meat, sweets, bread, caffeine/alcohol, focusing on fruits, vegetables, whole grains, water/juice.
**Partial Fast**
Fasting specific meals or times (e.g., morning/afternoon), or abstaining from certain foods daily (6 PM to 6 AM).
**Complete Fast**
Drinking only liquids (water, juice, tea).
**Soul Fast**
Giving up non-food items like social media, TV, or entertainment to refocus life areas.
**How to Do It**
Intentional: Define prayer points (e.g., healing, guidance, spiritual growth).
**Plan Your Fast**
Choose a type of fast that suits your health and experience.
Combine with Prayer & Study: Dedicate the time saved from eating/distractions to prayer, Bible study, and worship.
**Break the Fast Gently**
Slowly reintroduce foods if doing a more restrictive fast.
Biblical Reference: Daniel's mourning for three weeks (Daniel 10:2-3).
Jesus' teaching that believers should fast (Matthew 6:16-18).
Please let me know who would like to join me on any of these fast types over the next 3 weeks.
We are preparing for 2026. We believe that the plans we have the Lord will fulfill. Please do a personal vision board for yourself and your family as well for 2026, that as you pray and fast for the year, that the Lord may grant the desires of your heart. As we prepare, have an expectation of greatness - love, mercy and kindness always. Thats the Lord's heart. However he is holy and just always. God bless you family
Living Jesus
