Instructions:
Today, the first day of the 40-day prayer and fasting journey, is an opportunity to focus on seeking God’s presence and guidance, repentance for yourself and the body of Christ, for cleansing, strengthening your faith, and aligning your heart with His will.
Here are suggestions:
Prayer:
Acknowledge God’s Presence:
Begin by thanking God for the opportunity to engage in this spiritual discipline and for His unwavering love and grace.
Seek His Guidance:
Pray for God to lead and direct you throughout this 40-day journey, revealing His will and purpose for your life.
Ask for Strength and Endurance:
Request the strength and endurance needed to persevere through any challenges or temptations that may arise during this period.
Pray for Others: The Church and Leadership
Remember to pray for the needs of your family, friends, and the wider community – the Church and Leadership on the 7 mountains, seeking God’s blessings and provision for all and praying through John 17 and Isaiah 62.
Specific Prayers:
You can also incorporate specific prayers based on your personal needs and desires, such as asking for healing, deliverance, or breakthroughs in a particular area of your life. Not failing to include the church and Leadership in your prayers
Fasting:
Consider Your Fast:
Determine the type of fast you will be following, whether it’s a complete fast from food and water, or a partial fast where you abstain from certain foods or drinks. Say, till 12 pm, 3pm, 6pm, 9pm, or 12 midnight. We encourage taking loads of water during this time.. You want to open the channel of your spirit to tune in to God
Purpose of Fasting:
Remember that fasting is not just about physical deprivation, but about spiritual discipline and seeking God with a sincere heart as you prepare your heart to pray for the church and leadership.
Replace Time with Prayer and Scripture:
We have outlined the reading plans above. Follow this outline as much as you can. There is a reason we placed revelation as next reading right after Genesis.. discoveries will blow your mind as the Holy Spirit brings insights. This process came to me by revelation and you will do well to follow the outline
Dedicate the time you would normally spend eating to prayer, Bible study, and seeking God’s presence.
Additional Tips:
Set Daily Goals:
Establish specific goals for each day of prayer and fasting, such as a particular scripture passage to study as outlined above or a specific prayer focus as for praying for church and leadership
Seek Accountability:
Check in with the God’s Eagle ministry Intercessory group and the GEM community larger group to chat up others or any any information that can grow your faith as we will be placing content daily to all focused
Be Patient and Persistent:
Remember that spiritual growth and stamina takes time and effort. Be patient with yourself and trust in God’s timing and guidance.
Reflect and Evaluate:
At the end of each day, take time to reflect on your experiences and evaluate your progress, especially with the scripture reading. What are you learning? What is God saying to you? What are the new insights the Lord is bringing your way that you have never contemplated before? As you seek God’s wisdom and guidance for the days ahead.
