INTRODUCTION :

TRUSTING GOD'S FAITHFULNESS.

Fasting is a sacred act of dedication that draws us closer to God, aligns us with His will, and empowers us to overcome challenges. It reminds us of our dependence on Him and strengthens our spiritual resolve. Jeremiah 1:19 reassures us of God's presence and deliverance even in the face of adversity.

This promise of divine protection and provision is our anchor as we dedicate ourselves afresh. Fasting is a powerful tool that humbles us, focuses our hearts on God, and strengthens our prayers. It's a time of spiritual cleansing and renewal, allowing us to draw closer to God and receive His guidance. Let us enter this Mountain with expectant hearts.

Fasting also sharpens our spiritual focus, enabling us to discern God's voice and fight spiritual battles effectively. Remember, fasting is not just abstaining from food; it is a time of consecration where we prioritize prayer, worship, and meditation on the Word. Just as Jeremiah was assured of God's presence in his calling, so are we in our journey of faith. Let this fast ignite your spirit and renew your dedication to God.

"Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen: to lose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break every yoke?" – Isaiah 58:6

remember God is faithful to reward those who diligently seek Him (Hebrews 11:6). Stay strong, for your fasting will break chains and bring breakthroughs, strengthen your faith, realigns your heart to God, and empower you to overcome spiritual battles. Amen.
