20 DAY FAST FOR IFEC FEB 16 - MAR 7 2026
A guide to technological fasting WHAT IS FASTING?
Fasting is a physical exclamation point at the end of the phrases:
“I need you! I want you! I long for you! You are my treasure! I want more of you! Oh,how I long for the day when you’ll return! Maranatha! Come, Lord Jesus!”
THE HEART OF IT IS LONGING
BEFORE YOU START READ:
Reason for fasting:
Matthew 9:14-17
The right attitude to fasting:
Matthew 6:5-18
How you do it, is up to you! But what is a REQUISITE is
that you SEPARATE from entertainment and
distractions TO BE WITH THE LORD!
A Warning about fasting:
Isaiah 58
• PRAYER,
• READING, STUDYING AND MEDITATION OF THE WORD,
• WORSHIP AND FELLOWSHIP WITH YOUR CHURCH FAMILY IS ESSENCIAL
Replace your physical desires and yearnings for food and entertainment with INTENTIONAL SURRENDER and SACRIFICE to seek God, feeding your Spirit instead of your body to GROW CLOSER TO YOUR SAVIOR IN HEART, SOUL, MIND AND STRENGTH.
LETS CONSECRATE OURSELVES TO THE LORD AND HE WILL TRANSFORM US AND GLORIFY HIMSELF IN US AS HE RESTORES AND UNITE US!
DON’T FORGET TO WRITE DOWN WHAT THE LORD TELLS YOU AND REVEALS TO YOU DURING THIS TIME.
JESUS WILL BE EXALTED AND GLORIFIED IN YOU!
