14 Days of Prayer & Fasting
As a church family we will spend intentional time in prayer and fasting for 14 days (January 5-18). We have found this practice to be necessary and important as many of us are desperate for breakthrough, something that a practice of fasting brings forth. Join us Mon-Fri at 7 AM for prayer via Zoom (passcode: 316360), and 7PM-8PM for prayer at Motivation Church. We will also have a Night of Worship on January 7th at 7 PM.

Types of Fasting
Selective Fast
This type of fast involves removing certain elements from your diet. One example of a selective fast is the Daniel Fast, during which you remove meat, sweets, and bread from your diet and consume water and juice for fluids and fruits and vegetables for food.
Complete Fast
In this type of fast, you drink only liquids, typically water with light juices as an option.
Partial Fast
This fast is sometimes called the “Jewish Fast” and involves abstaining from eating any type of food in the morning and afternoon. This can either correlate to specific times of the day, such as 6:00 am to 3:00 pm, or from sunup to sundown.
