Prayer and Fasting
“Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break every yoke?...Then your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will quickly appear; then your righteousness will go before you and the glory of the LORD will be your rear guard. Then you will call, and the LORD will answer; you will cry for help, and he will say: Here am I.” Isaiah 58:6, 8-9

- We believe in God’s ability to lead, direct and bless our prayers.
- We believe prayer combined with fasting is a biblical approach for spiritual renewal, guidance, healing, resolution of problems and special grace to handle difficult situations.
- We believe prayer and fasting enables us to pray more specifically and strategically.
- We believe that through fasting and prayer we humble ourselves before God so the Holy Spirit will stir our souls, awaken our churches, and heal our land according to 2 Chronicles 7:14.
- We pray expectantly, leaving the results to God.
“If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.” 2 Chronicles 7:14
“I believe the power of fasting as it relates to prayer is the spiritual atomic bomb that our Lord has given us to destroy the strongholds of evil and usher in a great revival and spiritual harvest around the world.” Bill Bright, Founder of Campus Crusade for Christ
