Prayer & Fasting
- Dave Emmett writes about our three days of prayer and fasting
At the moment in the church there is a real longing and crying out to God that is being expressed through prayer and fasting. Although three days have been given over to corporate fasting and praying together, some are fasting over more extensive periods of time. The issue isn’t how long you fast, but obedience to what the Lord is telling you to do at this time. For some it might mean missing a meal a day over three days, some are fasting for one to three days day over that time, others are only drinking water over a 40 day period. The extra prayer times (each morning at 6.45am and each evening at 7-45pm and Saturday morning at 10am) will be significant as we gather together and pray. The elders of the church would encourage all members to take part in some way.
On the church bookstall 2 books are available that will help and encourage you in praying and fasting:
Arthur Wallis: Gods Chosen Fast
Mahesh Chavda: The Hidden Power of Prayer and Fasting
