21 Day Fast

Greetings New Life!

By all accounts, many of us are excited about the upcoming 21 Day Fast. The Fast will begin this Sunday, February 9 and continue through Saturday, February 29. We are not requesting anyone to Fast for the entire 21 days, unless you are cleared physically and heard from the Lord to do so. We are, however, requesting that everyone in our fellowship partake in this Fast in some way over the 21 days. 

Remember, a biblical fast means we don't eat food, and utilize that time and other times throughout that day to pray and diligently seek the Lord. The Fast could mean not eating for a day, or for a few days. It could also mean eating regularly, but abstaining from eating desserts, or a favorite food. It could also mean not eating, for example each Tuesday for a few weeks, or giving up desserts for the 21 Days. There are many different and acceptable ways to fast. The point is...God is calling us to FAST! 

This Sunday, we plan to address different ways we can accomplish our goal. Please be in prayer this week as to what you can do. Medical concerns as well as personal workload and stresses may need to be considered. But we believe that whatever we do, the Lord will honor our efforts. Amen.

Please read over Isaiah 58:1-12 this week. Lord willing, we will be focusing on this passage as we prepare for our Fast. This we know for sure, "God is a rewarder of  those who diligently seek Him" Hebrews 11:6. Let's put our hearts together and sincerely seek the Lord to move powerfully in our midst in 2020!

All For Jesus,

Pastor Rick and Pamela

"Is this not the fast that I have chosen: 

To loose the bonds of wickedness, 

To undo the heavy burdens, 

To let the oppressed go free, 

And that you break every yoke?" 

Isaiah 58:6
