Preparing the ground for revival.

“Before God sends rain, He tills the soil.” These seven days are about alignment, hunger, repentance, faith, and expectancy.

Day 1 - Sunday, January 18
“Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do wonders among you.”  -Joshua 3:5

PRAYER FOCUS: Begin setting yourself apart. Revival doesn’t start with church services; it starts with hearts.

PRAYER POINTS:
  • Ask the Holy Spirit to search your heart and reveal anything that dulls spiritual hunger
  • Confess sin quickly and honestly; receive God’s cleansing
  • Pray for a fresh hunger for God’s presence—not routine, not emotion, but real encounter

FASTING TIP: Start strong. Choose a fast that stretches you but is sustainable. Let hunger turn into prayer.

Tips For Fasting
  1. Check out our resources on fasting and prayer in the BF app. There are helpful articles and inspirational sermons available there to help you.
  2. Before you begin, think it through. Choose a fasting plan that works for you. Write it down so that you don’t waiver or start justifying your appetite during the fast. Make a verbal commitment to the Lord and start with a committed heart.
  3. There are different types of fasts: “full fast” means only water, “liquid only fast” means only liquids, or you can do a modified fast. You can fast one or more meals per day. You can fast frpm certain types of food (meats, sweets, etc.) Choose a fast that stretches you but is sustainable. If you have dietary or medical concerns, consult your doctor before fasting.
  4. If you falter in your fast don’t despair. Seeking God through prayer and fasting is never wasted time. Just get back on the plan and finish strong.
  5. During your normal meal times, get out your Bible and read and spend time in prayer. Fill the time you would normally use to nourish your body by nourishing your soul.
  6. If you’re doing a “Daniel fast” or a “modified fast” do an internet search for fasting recipes that work for you.
  7. Check out books, ebooks, or audiobooks from biblically-based authors to help you grow in this important spiritual discipline. Pastor Seth & Katie recommned the books Fasting by Jentezen Franklin and Fresh Wind, Fresh Fire by Jim Cymbala.
