The Fast

This past Sunday in GRID 29:11 we discussed the building block in our foundation of faith of fasting. Here is a snap shot of the message:

• Fasting is denying yourself something that you desire in order to align yourself with God, spend more time in prayer and the word and to overcome things in your life.
• We all have weaknesses, sin, ways of thinking, or brokenness in our life. Some of these things only come out with prayer and fasting.
• Read Isaiah 58:6-12 - This is what fasting is all about.

Beginning Monday January 26 to February 1st the youth ministry a.k.a. GRID 29:11 is going to fast. Here is what I am asking you to do:

1. Pick one thing in your life you want to overcome, this is what you will be fasting for.
2. Pick one thing you will fast. As I said on Sunday I don't want any body fasting food all six days. You can fast texting, Twitter, Internet, TV, Music, One day no food, next day eat, next day no food, etc... You can fast meat and only eat veggies. You can fast one meal a day. Pick something that will be difficult and challenging yet does not make life impossible.
3. ASK YOUR PARENTS. Go to mom and/or dad let them know you want to fast and what you want to fast and make sure they are okay with it.
4. Sunday the 25th pick up the reading plan with prayer points and participate!
5. Believe God to free you from the one thing and believe for God to move this year powerfully in GRID 29:11.
