21 Day Fast Focus
The Bridge is fasting April 5-25. You can participate no matter where you are!
A focused fast can bring clarity and purpose. An unfocused fast is discouraging!
It’s good to focus on several levels. Let’s face it - sometimes we need to pray for ourselves! And we also need to set our sights higher to pray for others and the work of God on a global scale.
Personal: Ask for a Unique Tenderness before the Lord.
Life is hard and it makes us hard. Fasting can soften our hearts to respond to Him in ways we may not have when doing business as usual. Use these 21 days to ask Him to give you a tender heart and unusual perception of His voice.
The Bridge: Pray for God’s direction to be revealed.
Pray for a depth of community that exceeds anything we’ve ever experienced. Pray for ministry opportunities that we have yet to have perceived, and for leaders to rise up in those areas. Pray that we impact our world with the good news of Jesus.
Global: The Revelation of Jesus to Jews.
Recently, Lou Engle as he shared his thoughts on the story of Ruth, a gentile woman who pledged her devotion to her Jewish mother in law. Ruth knew that her future was knit to this Jewish woman. She followed her back to the land of her people..
After studying the book, Lou felt the Lord spoke to him and said, “When Ruth begins to glean in Israel’s field by praying for her salvation, then she will begin to reap the full gentile harvest blessings of the kinsman redeemer in the line of Boaz, Yeshua, the Messiah himself.”
Ruth’s pledge, “Your people shall be my people, your God shall be my God”, stands as a call for the modern Gentile church to cry out in prayer for the salvation of God’s chosen people, the Jews, knowing that seeing the salvation of the Jews, we will also hasten the day of the Lord
Join us in person for worship, prayer and sharing!
Join us at Joel Richardson's studio at 13162 State Line Road at 7pm on Tuesdays and Fridays during the fast.
It’s located in the Village of Seville shopping center, just next to The Breakfast Spot restaurant.
We will also make it available via zoom for those who can't get there in person.
