Day 15 - Fasting & Prayer

“Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.”

Good morning,

We have entered the final week of our 21-day fast—congratulations, church family! You’ve come so far in this spiritual journey, and the finish line is in sight. Day 15 is a reminder to reflect on what God has already done during this fast while pressing forward with expectation for what is yet to come.

Psalm 91:8 reminds us that God is at work even when it seems like the forces of evil and chaos are winning. While the wicked may seem to prosper, God assures us that we will see His justice prevail. As we fast, we are aligning ourselves with God’s will and opening our eyes to the spiritual rewards of walking in obedience to Him.

Through this fast, we’ve already seen God moving mightily. Testimonies of breakthrough, healing, and spiritual renewal are beginning to flow. New believers are coming forward, and lives are being transformed. As we continue this final stretch, let us keep our eyes fixed on God, knowing that He is bringing victory and blessing to those who trust in Him.

To those who have been fasting since Day 1: Your perseverance is an offering of faith, and God sees your sacrifice. Keep pressing forward—you are on the home stretch! To new believers or anyone who has not yet joined the fast: It’s not too late! There are great blessings—spiritual, psychological, and physical—waiting for you as you commit to this time of seeking God.

Join us for corporate prayer midweek, where we will seek the Lord together and fan the flames of this spiritual momentum. Then, on Sunday, we will break the fast as a united church family, celebrating and worshiping the God who has sustained us and poured out His Spirit on us.

Throughout this fast, we’ve seen the Holy Spirit moving in powerful ways. People are experiencing peace where there was once anxiety, joy where there was sorrow, and healing where there was brokenness. Chains of addiction are being broken, families are being restored, and new levels of faith are being activated.

Let us continue to pray with expectation for more of God’s power to manifest in our lives and our church. God is faithful to reward those who diligently seek Him (Hebrews 11:6).
