Fasting is a powerful spiritual weapon and a demonstration of our love for God. Jesus Himself fasted as did our Old testament fathers in faith and the new testament believers. It is a time when we deny our flesh and give ourselves wholly to seeking God in prayer. Fasting is an amplifier. According to the Word fasting amplifies the power of the believer and simply put, ‘power’ is the ability to get results and the results are tremendous! Prayer is a vital part of the fast so each week, at the end of the week we will be opening the building to pray together and we encourage you to join us. This is also a perfect opportunity to study fasting in your own devotions.
You can look at:

Here are just a few examples of the victories tied up with true fasting: divine protection, abundant prosperity, restoration, salvation of your household, divine direction and provision. Hannah and I are committed to pursuing God in our own lives and in this ministry like never before. We love Him with all our hearts, minds, souls and strength and we love you too! We believe that as we lay ourselves aside and seek Him as a church in this specific way, God will give us victory on every side! 2012 is going to be a year for us like no other.

Fasting is a heart attitude, not a prescriptive or religious activity and essentially it is about giving up fleshly things and taking time out to speak to and hear from God. You might decide you want to give up a particular meal each day, or a particular food type for the month such as caffeine, chocolate or meats. It doesn’t just have to be food. You can choose to fast TV or even the Internet and use the time to pray and read the Word. Whatever it is, it is between you and God and it’s certainly not for the attention of man. God will honour your sacrifice and as we embark on this together we are believing God for tremendous breakthroughs for you individually and as families and in the life of this church and ministry. Thank you for adding your faith to ours. You will never be the same again.

If you want to take part in the gradual fast, you can follow the guidlines below:

Just a note to bring balance! Fasting is a heart attitude, not a prescriptive or religious activity. Therefore if you have special dietary requirements or you might be pregnant, please consult your doctor before deciding to fast.

We will be holding Fast & Prayer every Friday night in January from 7:30pm - 8:30pm here at the building. Come and join your faith with ours! Go to Let's Pray for our church prayer point for this month.

Every blessing

Mark and Hannah
