Fasting Guide
Hill City Fam!
As we close out 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting, we wanted to share our fasting guide for your review throughout the year. We encourage you to seek the Lord and fast throughout the year when you need some dedicated time with the Lord, or when you feel led in your spiritual journey.
We are so excited to how God is growing our community and building the church. First, please to stay connected to The City Blog. Next find, read through the guide that is included on this email.
As a guide, please commit to pray at least 15 minutes above and beyond your normal daily prayer time. Also, you can participate at any level that is healthy for you. There are different types of fasts:
A total fast is consuming water only.*
A partial fast is abstaining from certain foods. The following are some examples:
The Daniel Plan. Daniel 1:8-16
Fruits and vegetables only.
No Sweets.
Other variations of fasting include:
Fasting from social media
Fasting from television and movies
Fasting from alcohol or other substances (this is is a great time to get help from a habit that has you).
Fasting from soda and other sweets (this is a great time to kick soda out of your diet and reclaim your health).
Whatever you do it as unto the Lord (Col. 3:17) and be sure to be intentional in times of prayer. God is always speaking. We are believing that this time of setting aside specific time to pray will only make our relationships with God stronger.
*Please consult your physician before a total fast. It is not healthy to engage in this type of fast for prolonged periods of time.
Thanks,
Pastors Tim and Jill
