Crossroad Life corporate fast

Fast & Prayer (Jan 5 - Jan 25)

The Corporate Fast is upon us!  This year's fast will focus more so on the spiritual with less emphasis on the physical.  Each individual may determine how they fast and what they incorporate in their fast--as led by the Holy Spirit.  You may fast on behaviors, food, or any combination thereof in your journey to get closer to God.  

Disclaimer: If you have medical challenges, and/or are restricted to certain dietary instructions, and/or are in the care of a physician, and/or have questions regarding your health and this fast, it is important that you consult with a/your physician or medical counsel before you begin this fast. This fast doesn’t preempt your physician’s instructions.

Below we have also included information and a free e-book about fasting and guidance on a full Daniel's Fast for anyone interested.

Fasting: What Does It Mean?

There are many examples in the Bible where fasting had a profound effect.  Barnabas and Saul/Paul in Acts, Moses in Exodus, etc.  Jesus even spoke of the power of fasting (& prayer) in Mark.  We fast often, however, have you ever wondered about the nature of fasting?  

What is Biblical Fasting?  Why do we fast?  How do we fast?  How does fasting impact us spiritually & physically?  What are the medical aspects of fasting?

Thanks to our covenant connection with the Christian House Of Prayer in Killeen, Tx, we can offer some additional insight on fasting.  Pastor Valerie Holcomb published a workbook based on the teachings of the late Apostle Nathanial Holcomb's series on fasting.  Download this free resource to bolster your knowledge of fasting as we open the new year on our continued journey to elevate our relationship to God.  Click the red button for access.
