21 Day Corporate Prayer & Fast
January 8th thru Janaury 29th
During the
month of January, our entire Cathedral family will begin a corporate journey
for 21 days of fasting and prayer. As believers when we fast and pray we are dedicating ourselves to putting God first in everything we do. This year we will corporately and personally set aside time, resources, and our comfort zones to grow deeper and stronger in our relationship with Him. Also we will be pursuing God through the Daniel's fast...this fast was used strategically in the life of Daniel and is a great guide for all of us today! The Daniel's Fast it is simply a guide and you may use it partially or in totality whatever works best for you. So, over the next 21 days remember we are all on this journey together and above all God is most interested in meeting with you and if you make a date He will be there! We can't wait to hear from you and what God has done over our 21 days together!
*Note: If you have any medical condition(s), such as diabetes, high blood
pressure etc which may be affected by fasting, please consult your physician
before starting this or any fast.
