• Your Nation – Government, policy, and revival in the nation.VICTORY CHURCHES begins each year with fasting and prayer.

FASTING

In January, giving God our first, establishes His will in our lives for the ENTIRE year! Although it is up to each church to decide on a date in January to hold a Fast, Victory Churches International will be doing a Daniel Fast from Jan 2-22, 2019 and we encourage you to join us!

Mathew 6:33 - “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you”

Fasting and Prayer is a way for us all to seek God first. Fasting is a discipline that helps shift our priority to put God first and then wait and allow Him to show us His plan, receive His direction and His blessings. If we want success in our lives, in our marriages, in our church—putting God first is the key.

Look at the great Bible Promise for Fasting in Isaiah 58:6-14 For some of the Jewish people, fasting became a faithless, mechanical performance, full of strife and anger. They weren’t truly humbling themselves and repenting of any known sin and wrong attitudes while fasting. Look at what God tells them:

Isaiah 58:6-7 - “Is this not the fast that I have chosen: To lose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, to let the oppressed go free, and that you break every yoke? Is it not to share your bread with the hungry, and that you bring to your house the poor who are cast out …”

Isaiah 58:8-9 - “Then your light shall break forth like the morning, your healing shall spring forth speedily, and your righteousness shall go before you; the glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard. Then you shall call, and the Lord will answer; you shall cry, and He will say, ‘Here I am.'”

What a Promise!

Start the year off right. Discover the rewards of putting God first in all things. Feast on the Lord instead of food. Fasting reminds us that food doesn’t sustain us; God sustains us.

WHAT IS A DANIEL FAST?

A Daniel Fast is a commitment to an extended, partial fast, for a specific purpose, in order to defeat strongholds of darkness, as well as to release the will and purpose of God over His people!

Daniel restricted his diet. He eliminated meats, sweets and breads from his diet and ate fruit and vegetables and only drank water. He also prayed 3 times a day!
Many Fasts to Choose From (Examples)

• 3, 10, 21 or even a 40 day fast
• Full Fast-liquids only
• Pleasant food fast - no meats and no sweets
• Meal fast - skip certain meals each week
• Media fast - no TV and/or radio, video games etc.
