 Christian life is like climbing up the mountain. Sometimes it's challenging and difficult. Jesus said those who follow Me must deny themselves, pick up their cross and follow Me. The path is narrow and the track could be difficult. You don't slide up the mountain, you climb the mountain. Fasting is one of those things that we do that denies our flesh, humbles us, but it puts God on the throne in our life. As we start 2024, let's start this year right. Let's start it with God. The Bible says this in the beginning, God, anytime God is in your beginning, he starts to move powerfully and blesses the rest of the year. I want to invite you to this extended period of seeking God through prayer and fasting. From January 8th till January 28th, we will take time as a church to see God's face in prayer and fasting. You can fast complete fast, just water, no food. You can fast like Daniel's fast or you eat some food or you can do partial one where you just do from six to six, six in the morning to six in the evening. Or if you're pregnant nursing your child or maybe you're in medication, we encourage you not to fast food, but maybe fast other things like media, TV or something else. May God lead you and guide you as you prioritize him during this year and put him first in your life.
