FASTING

This year, we are inviting our church body to journey with us through a 7-day corporate fast during our 2021 vision series. This year, the fast will be in conjunction with Revival Week. We believe that when God’s people give up comfort, in this case food and culture, and gather in His name, He will pour out His presence on us and life-change will happen.

To get updates, reminders, and content throughout Revival Week, subscribe by texting "Revival Week" to 31996.

Every year at Waymaker.Church, we start our year by fasting and praying. What does Biblical fasting look like? Biblical fasting is abstaining from food for a spiritual purpose. Why? Because physical hunger deepens our spiritual hunger. As we start this year, we want to begin by removing distractions and deepening our spiritual hunger, so that we can focus on what it truly means to encounter God with His gathered church. This year, we are also asking everyone to “fast” from cultural norms such as social media, TV, entertainment, etc. so that you can focus on what God has for you during Revival Week.

 

 

TYPES OF FASTS

Normal

Abstaining from All Food  
Example: Jesus "ate nothing during those days and at the end of them was hungry" (Luke 4:2)  
Basics: No food and mostly water to drink.

 

 

Partial

Abstaining from one or two meals a day.  
Basics: Choose a *meal(s) you normally eat and abstain from it once a day during the fasting period.
*If you normally do not eat breakfast or another meal, don’t count that as abstaining. Make a true sacrifice.
