2025 21-Day Fast Guidelines

August 17 to September 6

• Fast Food — Like Daniel, you can fast from junk food, meat, and alcohol. Or you can fast one meal a day, setting that meal time aside for prayer and the Word. I will be fasting from all food, but fasting has been a regular part of my life for years. If this is your first time, fast from one meal a day. Make sure you don’t just work more during that meal time. Instead be intentional about praying and studying the Word.
• Fast Social Media, TV, and Movies — Turn off the noise! If you really need to watch something, watch sermons and Bible lessons. Keep your eyes on things that grow your intimacy with the Lord. Read books that will grow you as a follower of Jesus.
• Fast Secular Music — Listen to worship and praise music.
• Personal Prayer Altar — Set up a specific place in your home that will be your prayer altar (your meeting place with God to study His word, listen quietly to His voice, pray in the Spirit, and lift up your concerns and declarations). And journal.
• Corporate Prayer Altar — Intentionally pray with others, participate in Thursday night prayer meetings, and/or join us for pre-service prayer on Sundays at 3pm. Intentional is a key word during a fast. Be purposeful. This is not “business as usual”. It’s a time to deliberately pursue right alignment individually and as the body of Christ.
• Be Intentional — Intentional is a key word during a fast. Be purposeful. This is not “business as usual”. It’s a time to deliberately pursue right alignment individually and as the body of Christ.
• 1 Corinthians 5:7 TPT — So remove every trace of your “leaven” of compromise with sin so that you might become new and pure again. For indeed, you are clean because Christ, our Passover Lamb, has been sacrificed for us.
• Colossians 3:23-24 TPT — Put your heart and soul into every activity you do, as though you are doing it for the Lord himself and not merely for others. For we know that we will receive a reward, an inheritance from the Lord, as we serve the Lord Yahweh, the Anointed One!

Revive Us & Dwell Here – Psalm 85:6-9 ESV

Lord, bring revival to us and cause rejoicing. Reveal Your love and grant salvation. May we hear Your voice and receive Your words of shalom over us, and may we never return to our rebellion. Restore in us holy fear, reverence, and awe, that our Savior would be enthroned in our midst. May Your glory dwell in our land. May DFW be called the abode of Yahweh’s weighty presence, the home of His resting splendor and honor. We lift this prayer up in the throne-room of heaven, and we declare in the name of Yeshua (Yahweh Saves), let it be so!
