Sacred Purpose

Express complete dependence on God and realign hearts with His will

This October gathering reminds us that while God powerfully answers prayer, He Himself is our ultimate reward—the true source of our satisfaction. He is the living water we drink and the Lord we worship.

Understanding Prayer & Fasting

What is Prayer?

Prayer is the vital practice of conversing and communing with God. It involves both speaking to Him and listening for His voice, with the ultimate purpose of aligning our will with His.

We approach God the Father in the name of Jesus, grounded in the truth of His Word, and guided by the Holy Spirit. Through prayer, we worship God, express thanksgiving, present our needs, intercede for others, and seek the advancement of His Kingdom.

What is Fasting?

Fasting is the voluntary abstinence from food for a spiritual purpose. It is a tangible act of humility that expresses repentance, deepens our seeking of God's will, and creates space for greater intimacy with Him.

By setting aside something as essential as food, we demonstrate the sincerity of our desire to draw near to God, humbly seeking His guidance, provision, and spiritual breakthrough in our lives.

Why Should We Fast?

Expected Spiritual Discipline

Jesus instructed, "When you fast..." not "If you fast..." (Matthew 6:16-17). Like prayer, fasting is a normal part of the Christian life.

Jesus Modeled It

Before beginning His public ministry, Jesus fasted for forty days, relying on spiritual strength for the task ahead (Matthew 4:2).

Early Church Practice

The early church fasted for crucial decisions, such as commissioning missionaries and appointing elders (Acts 13:3; 14:23).

Demonstrates Humility

Fasting is a physical act of humbling ourselves before God, which positions us to receive His grace (Psalm 35:13).

Types of Fasts & Guidelines

Normal Fast

Abstaining from all food for a set period while drinking water. Consult a doctor before extended fasts.

Partial Fast

Restricting your diet (e.g., one meal a day, or abstaining from certain foods like Daniel in Daniel 10:3).

Juice Fast

Consuming only fruit or vegetable juices to maintain strength during the fasting period.

Object Fast

Abstaining from a non-food activity (e.g., social media, television) to dedicate that time to prayer.

Important: Consult your doctor before fasting if you are underweight, have chronic illness, are pregnant/nursing, take medication, or have a history of eating disorders.

C.A.S.T. Prayer Pattern

Confession

Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal any sin. Humbly confess and receive God's forgiveness (1 John 1:9).

Adoration

Worship God for who He is. Praise His holy character and attributes.

Supplication

Present your requests to God. Pray for the world, the church, your community, your family, and your personal needs (Philippians 4:6).

Thanksgiving

Thank God for His specific blessings and for hearing your prayers. Approach Him with a grateful heart (1 Thessalonians 5:18).
