PENTECOSTAL SPIRITUALITY AXIS

GUIDE TO THE 21-DAY FAST

START DATE: Wednesday, January 12, 2022

CLOSING DATE: Tuesday, February 1, 2022

BIBLICAL FOUNDATION

DANIEL 10:1-3 “In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia, a word was revealed to Daniel, who was called Beltshazzar. The word was true and the conflict great, but he understood the word and had intelligence in the vision. In those days I, Daniel, was afflicted for three weeks. I did not eat fine food, nor did meat or wine enter my mouth, nor did I anoint myself with perfume, until the three weeks were completed.”

The Full Gospel Church of God in Panama, through the strategic area of integral formation, and its axis of Pentecostal spirituality, is pleased to invite the entire membership of the local churches, the leaders and the entire ministry at the national level to actively participate in the 21 days of Fasting.

In the tenth chapter of the book of Daniel, the twenty-one days of fasting that the prophet undertook for the purpose of finding God's favor, wisdom, and understanding are recorded. In the same way, and in light of the Scriptures, it is equally relevant to carry out this practice in today's Church, where we unite as one body of Christ to open our ears; and thus listen to the will of God with great determination, devotion and spirit of search.

We begin this year 2022 in the presence of the Lord, affirming that fasting places us in a position to receive the blessing in sacrifice, the direction for new challenges and goals; as well as prepare ourselves to reach others for the Lord.

We invite all ministers and local churches to participate in national unity in the exercise and practice of fasting as part of the spiritual disciplines, and thus present ourselves before the Lord with humility of heart, with full certainty that his powerful hand will help us will bless We encourage all members to feel free to participate in this fasting period in the most convenient way. Forward Church of God!!
