THIS SUNDAY, January 15th , we will begin a new series that we conveniently labeled
“Awakening”. 
Pastor Danielle will kick off this series in double time, this Sunday with a message that I know will bless you tremendously. We are also joining a virtual conference & movement called “AWAKENING” and starting a 21 day FAST.
What is ‘Awakening’? Awakening is an incredible event, consisting of churches and ministries all around the world, coming together in a virtual conference for a 21 day season of prayer, fasting and personal devotion at the beginning of each year.
So what should I do? Every day (beginning January 15th) you can go to this website: http://awake21.org/
Make a choice to join us for this 21 day FAST! Perhaps you will fast 1 day per week or 1 meal per day. Remember one thing: Fasting is NOT DIETING…. It is sacrificing something and then replacing that with more of God (Reading your Bible / Praying etc.) Fasting is not always food related! You can fast other things that take up your precious time.
Then choose to Watch: Videos with Worship + Teaching from some amazing preachers that will be posted 3 times a day; 6am, 12pm (noon) and 7pm. These sessions will be available at the daily scheduled times and on-demand anytime afterwards.
You can also use this DAILY DEVOTIONAL and a fasting calendar
Do you need a breakthrough on something? Do you feel spiritually dry? Do you want to grow deeper with God this year? Don’t just pray to God…but participate with God as He moves! Develop the PUSH attitude “pray until something happens’ during this 21 days of fasting. Don’t stop praying until you get your breakthrough!
God did not just call us to PRAY about HIS will, but also to PARTICIPATE in it. Often Christians are willing to pray about some things and think that they’ve done their part…and then they get angry at God because He did not do something in the time frame they were expecting it to take place.
It’s time that we kick it into ‘high’ gear and break out one of God’s Weapons of Mass Destruction, “FASTING”! Prayer & Fasting is an essential, necessary, commanded and extremely powerful weapon which we should make more use of in the church. Let this be the year that we don’t just pray big prayers…but we take bold steps and believe that as we pray and participate we will see God do amazing things!
Remember these three things; Fasting is: Focused attention, Substitution, and Sacrifice!
