Why we’re fasting…
We are joining others around the world in a 40 day fast starting on Monday, March 7th. Specifically, as a church family, we are fasting for:
Authority to shift principalities and powers over whole nations. During World War 2, Reese Howell led a small band of intercessors, students at The Bible College of Wales, who shaped history with their prayer and fasting for their nation. Also, check out Shaping History Through Prayer and Fasting by Derek Prince or Reese Howell, Intercessor by Norman Grubb.
A heart for evangelism. We are asking God to set us on fire with the message of the Gospel to win many to Christ.
A greater move of the Holy Spirit in our midst. Every spiritual gift in the New Testament church is available to us today. We are opening our hearts to receive and demonstrate those gifts. Scripture tells us, “To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good.”
Reconciliation with God and others. We will take communion together as a prophetic act for the day when we take it with people we need to reconcile with, and we will open our hearts to opportunities for that reconciliation to happen.
Space to grow. We need a larger space for The Bridge - and more importantly, a place to gather and pray during the week. We are asking God to open that door during this fast.
Church is better together! Bring a friend as we examine John 6 and celebrate communion together.
