Prcicl Guide o Seven Dsof Prer nd Fsing

Throughout history, God has called on His people to humble themselves throughfasting and prayer. Fasting is a spiritual weapon God uses to advance His kingdom,

change the destiny of nations, spark revival, and bring victory in peoples lives.

There is something powerful that happens when we voluntarily humble ourselves,

seek Gods will, and agree with Him for His purposes to be fullled.

As a spiritual family, we begin each new year with seven days of prayer and fasting.

It is our way of humbling ourselves before God and consecrating to Him the

upcoming year. It is also the time when we corporately come into agreement andbelieve together for breakthroughs in our personal lives, families, nances,

and churches.

Over the years, as a result of this time of prayer, we have seen people receive

healing, salvation, promotion, direction, family restoration, miraculous provision, and

tremendous growth in their discipleship groups and churches. One of the highlights

is always seeing and hearing testimonies of how God answers over and beyond

what people ask.

As you begin your fast this year, believe in your heart, by faith, that this is your year

of miracles and answered prayers.

We are calling on everyone to join our annual seven-day prayer and fasting. This

is the time of year when we corporately consecrate ourselves, our families, and

ministries to God. Believe God for victories and breakthroughs in every area of your

life this year.

Declare a holy fast; call a sacred assembly. Summon the elders and all who live inthe land to the house of the LORD your God, and cry out to the LORD.

Joel 1:14

. . . Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the LORDwill do amazing things among you.

Joshua 3:5

When a man is willing to set aside the legitimate appetites of the body to

concentrate on the work of praying, he is demonstrating that he means business,

that he is seeking with all his heart, and will not let God go unless He answers.

1. Jeu fed.1Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desert to be tempted by the devil.2After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry.

Matthew 4:1,2

Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and news about him

spread through the whole countryside.Luke 4:14

Before He began His ministry, Jesus fasted forty days. He knew He was going to

need spiritual strength to fulll His purposes. Fasting makes us physically weak

but spiritually strong and prepares us to do Gods work.

2. Fg c of humy d coecro.. . . I put on sackcloth and humbled myself with fasting. . . .

Psalm 35:13

Humility results in the grace of God. When we humble ourselves in prayer,

we have instant access to the heart of God. As we deny ourselves as an act

of consecration, we are better able to exercise self-control. We can keep our

emotions and desires under control.

3. Fg hep u become eve o he Hoy spr.While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, Set

apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.Acts 13:2

When we deny ourselves of our natural cravings, our spiritual antennas become

sharper. We become more sensitive to His voice as we divest ourselves of

worldly distractions. We are better able to focus on God and submit to His will.

This opens the door for the Holy Spirit into our lives.

4. Fg brg revv.2. . . in the rst year of his reign, I, Daniel, understood from the Scriptures,according to the word of the LORD given to Jeremiah the prophet, that thedesolation of Jerusalem would last seventy years. 3So I turned to the LordGod and pleaded with him in prayer and petition, in fasting, and in sackclothand ashes.

Daniel 9:2,3

Fasting helps us prevail in prayer and intercession. Daniel understood that Israel

was headed for destruction. He also knew that in times like these, there is only

one recourseintercession through praying and fasting. Throughout humanhistory, God has brought revival and delivered nations from destruction in

response to prayer and fasting.

5. Fg hehy.Fasting cleanses your digestive system from toxins. Doctors consider fasting

a cure for certain allergies and diseases. By learning to deny ourselves and

exercising discipline, fasting breaks unhealthy addictions in our lives.

PREPaRING tO FaSt

1. Be fh!Prayerfully and thoughtfully ll out the prayer points page of this guide. Ask

the Holy Spirit for guidance. Be clear and specic about your faith goals in yourpersonal life, family, nances, and church. These are what you will be believingGod for during the fast and the entire year. Expect God to answer. Maintain athankful heart throughout and after the fast.

2. Comm o ype of f.We encourage everyone to commit to a seven-day water only or liquid fast.However, we understand that some are unable to do so because of certaincircumstances, such as pregnancy, a physically demanding profession, and

medical conditions. If you belong to this category, there are alternativesyoumay choose to do a combination fast. You may do a liquid fast for three daysand then a one-meal-a-day fast for the next four, for example, or any othercombination according to your need or situation.

Pray about the kind of fast you will undertake and commit to it. Do not decideon a day-to-day basis. Commit before the fast and be determined. Ask Godfor grace.

3. P your cedr.Limit your physical and social activities during this period. You need to conservephysical energy and devote more time to prayer and reading the Bible.

4. Prepre pruy.More than anything, our annual fast is a time when we believe God for a freshencounter with Him. Be prepared to have the Holy Spirit put His nger on anarea in your life that needs to change. Repentance is the foundation of prayerand fasting. Be ready to repent and change, and be transformed. Surrender

everything to Him. Be completely open.

5. Prepre phycy.Be smart as you enter into this fast. Do not go to a buet restaurant on the eveof the fast, hoping to stock up on food in your body. The key is to graduallyprepare your body. Start eating smaller portions and meals seven days beforeyou begin your fast. Avoid food that is high in sugar and fat. Two days prior tothe fast, eat raw fruit and vegetables only. Consult a physician if you need to.

Go, gather together all the Jews who are in Susa, and fast for me. Do not eat ordrink for three days, night or day. I and my maids will fast as you do. When thisis done, I will go to the king, even though it is against the law. And if I perish,

I perish. Esther 4:16

Fasting reduces the power of self so that the Holy Spirit can do a more intense work

within us.

DURING thE FaSt

1. seek he lord.Commit to prayer and Bible reading the times you usually allocate for meals.Join at least one prayer meeting in your local church. Call your local church

for the scheduled prayer meetings during the fast. Be ready to respond when

you hear from God.

This guide also has a devotional that we encourage you to go through during

the fast.

2. Comm o chge.Whatever God tells you or puts His nger upon, apply it immediately.

If you need to make restitution, immediately contact people you have

broken relationships with. If there are habits that need to change, make

the adjustment immediately. Ask a trusted leader or friend from your

church to hold you accountable.

3. Prcc p

a. Avoid medical and even natural herbal drugs. However, if you are undermedication, these should only be withdrawn upon the advice of your doctor.

b. Limit your physical activity and exercise. If you have a workout routine,

adjust it accordingly. A daily two to ve kilometer walk should be your

maximum amount of exercise during an extended fast.

c. Rest as much as you can.

d. Maintain an attitude of prayer throughout the day. Intercede for your family,

pastors, church, nation, our missionaries, world missions, etc.

e. Drink plenty of clean water.

f. As your body adjusts, be prepared for temporary bouts of physical weakness

as well as mental annoyances like impatience, irritability, and anxiety.

16When you fast, do not look somber as the hypocrites do, for they disgure theirfaces to show men they are fasting. I tell you the truth, they have received theirreward in full. 17But when you fast, put oil on your head and wash your face, 18so

that it will not be obvious to men that you are fasting, but only to your Father,who is unseen; and your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.Matthew 6:16-18

The record of the whole Bible indicates that prayer and fasting combined

constitute the strongest weapon committed to Gods believers.

CONCLUSION

BREaKING thE FaSt

1. Reroduce od food grduy.You should break your fast the same way you prepared for it. It will take yourbody just as many days you fasted to adjust to a normal diet. Begin eating

gradually. Dont eat solid food immediately after your fast. Start with fruits,juices, and salad. Then, you can begin adding vegetables and boiled potato.Take it slowly from there. Eat small portions spread throughout the day.

2. Coue pryg.Dont let your prayer life end on the day you nish the fast. Build from themomentum you gained during the fast. Let it transform your prayer anddevotional life. Carry the newfound passion with you throughout the year.

3. Be expec.Be in faith and believe God to answer your prayers soon! Dont give up,persevere in prayer even if you dont see the answers immediately. Make sureyou keep the copy of your prayer points. You can check it at the end of the yearand see how God has answered your prayers. It can be your thanksgiving list atthe end of the year.

Paul and Barnabas appointed elders for them in each church and, with prayer andfasting, committed them to the Lord, in whom they had put their trust.

Acts 14:23

If our fasting is not unto God, we have failed. Physical benets, success in prayer,

the enduring with power, spiritual insightsthese must never replace God as the

center of our fasting.

Richard Foster

Our annual seven-day prayer and fasting gives us the opportunity to realignour lives according to His will and consecrate the coming year to Him. As wehumble ourselves corporately to Him in prayer, we can expect Him to movemightily in our midst. Gods will is for all of us to experience breakthrough andvictory in our lives. Be in faith for God to move miraculously in your life thisyear beyond what you can ask or imagine. You have a fresh mandate. Be readyto accomplish greater things for God this year!

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine,according to his power that is at work within us . . .

Ephesians 3:20

Fasting in the biblical sense is choosing not to partake of food because your spiritual

hunger is so deep, your determination in intercession so intense, or your spiritual

warfare so demanding that you have temporarily set aside even eshly needs to give

yourself to prayer and meditation.

So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the sinful nature.Galatians 5:16

Live b e Spiripreparing for the fast

RESPONDGet a prayer partner.Pray for Gods Word to

illuminate your hearts

and minds. Believe that

God will enable you to

walk in His ways.

REFLECtThe same matter that Paul wrote about in Galatians was addressed at the Jerusalem

Council and recorded in Acts 15:1-35. Read the chapter and consider the following:

1. What teaching was Paul disputing (v.1,5)?

2. According to Peter, how are we saved (v.7-11)?

3. How did James and the other apostles describe

the eect of the false teachings (v.19,24)?

Live by the Spirit! This exhortation is both inspiring and challenging to ustoday. We all desire to grow in our relationship with God and live a life of victoryover sin. Yet, how exactly can we do this? The Apostle Paul addresses this veryissue in his letter to the Galatians.

Paul had just found out that there were false teachers who inltrated the

church, questioned Pauls authority as an apostle, and were teaching that theGalatians needed to adhere to certain Jewish laws and traditions in order toensure their salvation. This teaching was totally contrary to the gospel that Pauland the other apostles preached. Paul wrote to oppose the false teaching andappeal to them to keep their relationship with God centered on Christ alone,trusting in His nished work.

Pauls deep concern over the state of the young church, as well as his frustrationover their lack of discernment, permeates his words. This false gospel, if left

unchecked, threatened the very life of the young church. The Galatian issue isstill signicant for us today: What does it mean to be a Christian and how dowe live out our Christianity? Is it a matter of observing laws and regulations orreceiving His power to live righteously?

As we seek God in this season of prayer and fasting, may we grasp the liberatingmessage of the gospel of Christ, learn what it means to live by the Spirit, andbear the fruit of true freedom and grace in our lives.

6I am astonished that you are so quickly desertingthe one who called you by the grace of Christ andare turning to a dierent gospel-7which is really no

gospel at all. Galatians 1:6,7

Living by the Spirit begins with an accurate understanding of the gospel. TheGalatians were being taught that a person is saved by believing in Jesus ANDby obeying Jewish laws and traditions. Though this teaching sounded good,logical, even intuitive, Paul calls this teaching a perversion of the gospel ofChrist. In fact, he qualies that this dierent gospel is really no gospel at alland warns that believing it would ultimately result in eternal condemnation.

So, what is the gospel? The word gospel means good newsin this case, thelife, death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. By denition, the gospelrefers to a past, historical event. Contrary to what the false teachers taught,Paul preached that the gospel was NEVER about following a set of rules butabout receiving and believing news about what Jesus already did. The gospeldierentiates Christianity from every other religion in this wayreligionteaches DO, Christianity says DONE!

Also, this news is good. Good news is often really good only to the degree thatwe realize that the bad news is really bad. Pauls argument was this: Can wefulll Gods requirement of holiness and perfection? If we could have gainedright standing with God on the basis of our own merit and eort, why did Jesushave to die? The truth isthe bad newswe couldnt; we fell short. The goodnews is that Jesus could, and did! Now, we are free to relate with God and haveaccess to every spiritual blessing in Christ. Praise God for the good news that

saves us and sets us free!

the gospel.

Meditate on Galatians 1:10

2. What does grace mean? According

to Ephesians 2:8-10, how are we saved?

What role does good works have in

our salvation?

I have been crucied with Christ and I no longer live,but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I liveby faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave

himself for me. Galatians 2:20

What happens when we believe the gospel? Paul chose a legal term todescribe our new status in Christ: justied. To be justied is to be declaredrighteous. Before believing the gospel, we stood condemned by our sin.But the instant we put our trust in Christs redemptive work, we areimmediately declared NOT GUILTY, just as if we have never sinned! Our sinswere put on Christ and judged on the cross: His righteousness was creditedto our account!

This is why Paul declared I no longer live, Christ lives in me! The gospel isntonly good news about a past event, it is a current status that we have by faithin Christ. In Him, we are righteous. In Him, we are accepted. In Him, we are free.We identify with His life, death, and resurrection. When God looks at us, He nolonger sees our sinfulnessHe sees Jesus perfection. Though we are moresinful than we ever dared perceive, in Christ we are more loved than we ever

dared believe. In fact, God loves us just as if we had been the ones who livedJesus sinless life!

Does that mean we can just keep on sinning? Not at all! Gods grace is soeective that the more we let the gospel ood our hearts, the more it willproduce a new motivation and lifestyle in us. We begin to act in line withthe truth of the gospel. We lose our appetite for sin. We live godly lives, notto earn Gods approval, but BECAUSE we are accepted in Christ. We long forfamily and friends to know Christ as we do. And we cannot help but give our

all to the One who loved us and gave Himself for us.

achievements in Philippians 3:4-9. What was

. . . After beginning with the Spirit, are you nowtrying to attain your goal by human eort?

Galatians 3:3

How do we live out this Christian life? This was the crux of the Galatiancontroversy, and the Apostle Paul didnt mince words in clarifying that living bythe Spirit is having continuous faith in the work of Christ, reminding ourselvesdaily that the gospel is the power of God, not just for salvation, but also fortransformation, sanctication, and spiritual growth.

Though we may agree with the idea that it is only the gospel that cantransforms us, like the Galatians, it is possible for us to actually begin in faithand then attempt to attain godliness in the esh. We say, God, thank You forsaving me. Now let me take it from here. Let me x my life. Youve done somuch for me, now its my turn to do things for you. We work hard to live a lifedeserving of His sacrice. We do our very bestwe read our Bibles, we resisttemptation, we try to be more loving, we fast and prayall to be more pleasingand acceptable to God and others. After all, we think, God helps those who

help themselves.

However, the gospel is good news precisely because we could not, cannot,and never will be able to help ourselves. We can only walk out our Christianitythe same way we began itby trusting and treasuring Christ! Human eortcan only restrain the heart and deal with external behavior. Only the gospelthat has the power to transform our deep motivations. As we learn to embraceand rejoice daily in Christs provision on the cross, His grace bears the fruit ofgodliness and Christlike character in our lives.

exhorted to live out our Christianity? How

are we brought to fullness and completion?

The Scripture foresaw that God would justify theGentiles by faith, and announced the gospel inadvance to Abraham: All nations will be blessed

through you.Galatians 3:8

The Galatians were being taught that they needed to obey the law of MosesAND believe in Jesus Christ in order to be saved. The Apostle Paul, as heargues his case that the true gospel is by grace through faith, chooses theexample of Abraham as his main defense. Why Abraham, and how is this stillrelevant to us today?

Abraham predates Moses and the institution of Jewish laws and traditions byseveral centuries. Paul points out that God made a covenant with Abrahamto bless him and Abraham simply believed God and it was credited to himas righteousnessAbraham was justied by faith. Abraham, therefore, isthe father of all who believe. Like Abraham, all who believe in the gospelof Christ are declared righteous by faith and become spiritual heirs to all hisblessings. In Christ, we can claim every single one of Gods covenant promisesto Abraham and his descendants just as if He promised them directly to us!

Paul also shows that Gods promise that all nations will be blessed throughAbraham was a precursor to the gospel and was ultimately fullled inChrist. Abraham was right when he declared that God Himself will providethe Lamb (see Genesis 22:7,8). Jesus is the ultimate Son of Promise. Bornthrough miraculous circumstance, He lived a life of complete obedience tothe Father, even to the cross. His sacrice satised our debt and now provideslife for all who believe.

. . . The only thing that counts is faith expressingitself through love.

Galatians 5:6

The Apostle Paul warns against two pitfalls that believers who have notcompletely grasped the gospel fall into. First is the tendency to revert to anI am acceptable to God because of what I do approach to life (v.1). This isnot living for God, this is self-preservation. Paul says that we are saved bygrace, therefore we are liberated from trying to save ourselves and earn Godsacceptance and love. Grace is not grace if it is earned.

The second danger is to see our freedom in Christ as permission to live aswe please (v.13). Grace does not give us license to sin. On the contrary, graceactually teaches us to say no to ungodliness (see Titus 2:11-14). Thinking Ican live any way I want now that Im forgiven reveals that our hearts are notcentered on loving Christ but rather on self-indulgence. Freedom from the lawdoes not mean freedom to create our own standards of behavior and morality.Living by the Spirit is having the law of God written in our hearts. We must not

abuse our freedom in Christ and enter into lawlessness.

We avoid both errors by preaching the gospel to ourselves everyday. Weremind our hearts on why the gospel is good news and meditate on ouridentity in Christ. This discipline of daily celebrating Christs provision resultsin a new motivationdeep passion to live for God and others replaces ourselsh drive to live for self. Those who realize theyve been forgiven of muchend up loving much. Our ability to obey the greatest commandmentlove God

above all, love your neighbor as yourselfis the proof and expression of thegospel bearing fruit in our souls.

2. Consider Romans 13:8-10 in light of Galatians

5:6,13,14. What debt are we to continue to

have? What does the gospel free us to do?


13/16

Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step withthe Spirit.

Galatians 5:25

How exactly does the gospel change us? The Apostle Pauls answer: By theSpirit! From the moment we trust in the gospel, the Holy Spirit enters ourhearts and produces in us a new natureone that hungers for more of Godsholiness, longs to reect His glory, and desires to do His will.

This new God-desiring nature is in constant conict with our old sin-desiring,

self-relying nature. In Christ, we are able not to sin; before Christ, sin was allwe knew. We keep in step with the Spirit when we daily pursue the God-honoring desires produced by the Spirit in us instead of giving in to the selshlusts of our esh. When we respond to the Spirits leading, we overcome theesh and experience true Christian liberty. We feel free to be who we werealways intended to be and do what we were originally created to dolive livesthat glorify God.

Walking by the Spirit, then, is the constant, daily practice of abiding in Christ,meditating on His Word, and yielding to the Spirits leading. This lifestyle keepsour hearts rested, satised, and rejoicing in God, resulting in a loss of appetitefor sin and the fruit of Christlike character in our lives.

The Holy Spirit works in us to change our motivations and conform ourthoughts, feelings, and habits to be more like Christ. And just as we beganby the power of the Holy Spirit, we rely not in our own willpower but in the

fullness of Christs provision and on the Spirits enablement for our renewingand sanctication.

Let us not become weary in doing good, forat the proper time we will reap a harvest if we donot give up.

Galatians 6:9

The Apostle Paul brings his letter to a close by reiterating his main warning:Do not be deceived! False teachers, our own sin nature, conict within thechurchthese all present real dangers to derail our journey in Christ. Heuses the illustration of sowing and reaping to both warn and encourage us tocontinue resisting deception and hold to the true gospel.

First, we will reap what we sow. So, if we want to reap rice, we do not sowcorn. At the same time, we will reap what we sow. Though some seedsmay take longer than others, it is only a matter of time before the seeds wesow come up and bear fruit. If we keep sowing to satisfy the sin nature, it isinevitable that we will reap corruption, fear, envy, destruction, and death. Wecannot blindly believe for a dierent outcome. In the same way, if we never tireof sowing to please the Spirit, we will in due time reap such a bountiful harvestof life, love, peace, joy, godliness, and every other blessing in Christ!

Therefore, do not give up! Do not lose heart! Abide! Keep in step! Love oneanother! We can be in faith and follow through in Christ even in the midst ofseeming dryness for we have the Spirit who sustains us and we know that it isonly a matter of time until we reap a harvest of righteousness, peace, and joy.As we end this season of prayer and fasting, may we rejoice daily in the gospel,yield to the Spirit, and persevere in faith until the end. May we overow in loveand good deeds to the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ!
