21-Day Fast

​

As we enter 2026, we recognize this as a year marked by God's Name.

 

In Hebrew understanding, the number 26 corresponds to YHWH — the sacred covenant name of God. When God places His name on something, it is no longer casual or common. It requires reverence, alignment, and intentional living.

​

This 21-day fast is a season of consecration, preparation, and spiritual alignment so that we can carry His Name well in this year.

​

“Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do wonders among you.”  (Joshua 3:5)

​

​

FAST DATES

​

• Start: Sunday, January 11, 2026

• End: Sunday, February 1, 2026

• Length: 21 Days

​

​

THE PURPOSE OF THE FAST

​

During these 21 days, we are seeking God for:

​

• Spiritual cleansing and renewal

• Clear direction for 2026

• Alignment with God’s will

• Increased sensitivity to the Holy Spirit

• Preparation to represent God with integrity

​

This is not a diet, a ritual, or a religious obligation. It is a voluntary act of surrender and a spiritual posture of humility.

​

FASTING INSTRUCTIONS

​

One Unified Corporate Fast

​

During the 21-Day Fast (January 11 – February 1, 2026), we are calling the church to a single, unified fasting approach. Please use wisdom and consult a physician if you have medical conditions.​​ However, we recognize that some individuals may feel led to participate through the Daniel Fast due to health, conviction, or spiritual discipline.

​​

PRIMARY CORPORATE FAST (ENCOURAGED)

​

• One meal per day, moderate portions:

  • ​Meat: Grilled, baked, or roasted.

  • Vegetable: Steamed, roasted, or raw.

  • Light Starches: rice, potatoes, beans, whole grains.  

• No fried food.

• No Bread.

• Liquid (water, tea, broth, natural juices w/ no sugar added) for the remainder of the day.

• No sweets or unnecessary indulgences.

• Reduce entertainment and distractions like social media, television, streaming.

​

ALTERNATIVE OPTION: DANIEL FAST (APPROVED)

​

Daniel Fast Guidelines:

• Fruits and vegetables

• Whole grains, legumes

• Water and natural juices

• No meat, dairy, sugar, fried foods, or processed foods

​

This option should be entered with the same heart posture of consecration and restraint.

​

​The goal is less flesh, more spirit. “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.” (Matthew 4:4 (KJV)
