21 Days of Fasting

2025 will be quite a significant year for Renew Life Church, and it’s our desire as a spiritual family to come together and begin to prepare our hearts for what is coming in this new season! We want to hear God clearly and truly be “Spirit-led”-- not led by our flesh (Romans 8:14). With that said, we are excited to be launching a church-wide fast for 21 days beginning on February 3rd, 2025! 

Biblically, fasting is a spiritual discipline mentioned over 70 times throughout the Bible in which a person abstains from food or drink in some way. It is a set-apart time to seek God and go after His presence, cultivate times of intimacy with Him, renew our minds to His Word and align ourselves with His plans and purposes for us. 

Here are a just a few of the benefits of fasting outlined in the Bible:

• To hear God more clearly (Exodus 34:28, Acts 13:2)

• To increase our humility (Psalm 35:1-3, Ezra 8:21)

• To pray for breakthrough/safety/healing (Ezra 8:21-23, Esther 4:16, Matthew 17:14-20)

• To fully submit to the Lord (Joel 2:12, Acts 14:23)
