Overcoming Church
Year of Fruitfulness (3)
This 21-day of Prayer and Fasting guide is designed to provide a daily focus and scripture reading, that as a corporate body we may Read the Word, Study the Word, Pray the Word, Experience the Word, Work the Word, Enforce the Word, and Declare the Word. To declare means to: “make known and speak with a determination until what we pray for becomes evident or manifest”. We believe God has called the church (the body of Christ) to do great things. However, as we move towards Kingdom purpose, there are often set-backs, hindrances, conflict and weariness that come to attack God’s people (the church). Matt. 17:21 “However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting. “As a corporate body let us enter in for a season of fasting, prayer and making declarations; in expectation of spiritual and natural increase coming to the house of God and to every family. As ONEbody, let us pray, believe and receive! Preparation (Spiritually and Naturally) The very foundation of fasting and prayer is repentance. Un-confessed sin can hinder your prayers. Begin to prepare yourself spiritually by meditating on thefollowing: • Confess every sin that the Holy Spirit brings to your remembrance and accept God’s forgiveness (1 John 1:9) • Seek forgiveness from all whom you have offended, and forgive all who have hurt you (Mark 11:25; Luke 11:4; Luke 17:3, 4). • Surrender your life fully to Jesus Christ as your Lord and Master; refuse to blend in with the world (Romans 12:1, 2). • Meditate on the Word of God particularly the character of God, His love, sovereignty, power, wisdom, faithfulness, grace and compassion (Psalm 103:1-8; Psalm 103:11-13). • Begin your time of fasting and prayer with an expectant heart (Hebrews 11:6). • Be prepared for spiritual opposition, the enemy will come to attack and test your commitment during this set-time of prayer and fasting (1 Peter 5:8-9). Preparation (Spiritually and Naturally) • Ask God to fill you with His Holy Spirit according to His Word in Ephesians 5:18 and His promise in 1 John 5:14, 15. • Pray in the spirit (Jude 20) – using your prayer language (tongues). If you have not received the evidence of the speaking in tongues, then seek God for the fullness of all He has in store for you. • Expect God to speak to you personally. Journal any insights or instructions the Lord gives you during this time. Note: Prepare your body by eating smaller meals before starting the fast. Avoid high-fat and sugary foods prior to the fast. Use wisdom if you take prescription medication; consult your physician first while believing God for total healing. Remember fasting is a spiritual discipline that begins in the physical realm. So prepare and command your body to submit. Make the necessary changes in your daily routine (modify exercise and sporting events). Our desire over the next 21 days is that you will experience a closer relationship with the Lord and have greater vision, clarity and focus. How Fasting Crucifies the Flesh • Fasting causes us to hunger and thirst for a deeper relationship with God. • Fasting delivers us from habitual sin—the things that can take us captive. • Fasting delivers us from wrong mindsets. • Fasting delivers us from things we carry such as unbelief and un-forgiveness. • Fasting produces an anointing to destroy yokes (offenses, heaviness and burdens). • Fasting increases our capacity.
