21-Day Fast

Tomorrow, City on a Hill Church and many other people in our community are kicking off a 21-day fast.

While, fasting itself is not a magical ritual that brings any special recognition from God (see 1 Cor 8:8), fasting combined with prayer and giving (ref the context of Matthew 6), brings supernatural power to the believer. TheCall was an event of 12 hours of fasting, prayer and worship at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego on November 1, 2008. The event focused on revival for America, but specifically focused on the preservation of the Biblical definition of marriage. Three days later, California passed Proposition 8 (bill that cemented the Biblical definition of marriage) to the surprise of most every American and certainly most ever Californian. Coincidence? or God-incidence?

What could happen in Culpeper if people fasted for 21-days with a focus of community revival and unity?

Remember, there are many different kinds of fasting and fasting is not always just from food, but from other "time hogs" that distract our attention from God.

Will you join us in dedicating January 1-21 to God's plan for Culpeper? If you do, please comment so I can be praying for you during this time.
