CHOOSING YOUR FAST
Let’s be reminded that fasting isn’t a form of punishment for the sins you’ve committed since Christ took care of that for you on the cross. It’s the decision to disconnect yourself from your dependence on the world and yourself.
Here are examples of the different types of fasts that you might consider:
Complete Fasting:
Talk to your doctor and consult the Holy Spirit before you participate in this option but a complete fast is just that. For 21 days, you would only drink liquids (i.e. water, light juices, etc) for the entire day or designated portions of the day. We've seen this type of fast in the Book of Esther. Queen Esther called the entire nation of Israel to fast for their deliverance (Esther 4:16). It is amazing how long a human body can stand without food, but not without water. However, if God is calling you to this kind of fast, always follow His leading first.
Selective Fast:
This is the most common type of fast since the Bible talks about abstaining from certain foods or drinks. The Daniel Fast found in Daniel 10 is one example of a selective fast (no meats, breads and sweets for 21 days). Other popular meal plan choices: Whole 30, Vegan/plant based, and Paleo meal plan
Intermittent Fast:
This was a common type of fast for the Hebrew people. For this fast, you’d designate certain times of the day for fasting. For example, no eating from sun up to sundown or choosing to eat only in the morning or the afternoon.
Soul Fast:
A Soul fast typically means removing luxuries and indulgences outside of food. Its purpose is to guard the types of things that enter your mind and heart during this season. This includes but isn’t limited to social media, music, movies & TV, smart phone usage or screen time either for a certain period or the entire period.

Scripture References: Matthew 7:7-8 NIV - Ask, Seek, Knock - “Ask and it will -
7“Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened."
At New Creation Christian Church, we believe in the transformative power of prayer. Engaging in daily prayer isn't just a routine; it is a profound journey that strengthens our spiritual foundation and brings clarity to our lives. Over the span of 21 days, participants will immerse themselves in a series of reflective prayers aimed at inspiring change and fostering spiritual growth. This commitment to consecutive prayer allows you to build habits that not only endure but flourish over a lifetime. Through prayer, we draw closer to God, connect with our community, and discover the beauty of shared faith. Each moment spent in prayer not only aligns us with our divine purpose but also ignites a deep sense of peace and fulfillment within us. Join us on this remarkable journey of faith and reflection. Together, we can cultivate a lasting relationship with God and with one another, transforming our lives and the world around us, one prayer at a time.
