21 Days of Fasting and Prayer - Heaven Come DownНамуна

“Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.” — John 14:12–14 (NIV)

Today’s the day! You’ve decided to take the next 21 days and draw closer to the Lord through fasting and prayer. Most likely, you have already prepared for a strong start – adjusting meal plans, getting rid of those tempting chocolate candies, creating a prayer list, starting this reading plan.

And in the midst of all the preparation, did you also include Heaven coming down as part of your plan for these next three weeks?

Jesus makes a staggering promise in John 14. He’s speaking to His disciples right before His arrest, and instead of preparing them for the worst, He prepares them for power. “Whoever believes in Me will do the works I have been doing,” He says—then pushes the boundary even further: “they will do even greater things.”

This is not exaggeration. It’s an invitation.

As followers of Jesus, our lives are not meant to be marked by survival or religious duty, but by kingdom demonstration. Jesus is not just offering encouragement—He’s establishing expectation. Heaven is not a far-off reality we wait to arrive at someday; it’s the realm of the King that has come near. And through faith-filled prayer and fasting, Heaven begins to move through earthbound people.

The phrase “greater things” means that His work would be multiplied through us through the Holy Spirit. His return to the Father released the power of the Holy Spirit into every believer, equipping us to bring healing, hope, salvation, and bold prayers into the darkest places.

But how do we participate in this “greater”? Jesus says it plainly: Ask in My name. Fasting and prayer are not about twisting God’s arm or proving our devotion. They’re about aligning our hearts with the will of Heaven and recognizing the authority we’ve been given in Christ.

When we fast, we are clearing the clutter. When we pray, we are calling down Heaven.

This 21-day journey of fasting and prayer is an opportunity for you to see God do incredible things in and through your life, but it is also your personal invitation to become a vessel through which Heaven comes down. What if God wants to heal someone through your hands? What if a citywide breakthrough is waiting on your prayers? What if Heaven is poised to come down—through you?

Believe it, ask boldly, and expect Heaven to come down!
