First Friday Fast or "FFF" is a special focused time of fasting and prayer for our Church's Relocation Ministry Campaign. Below you'll find some information to help you get started. God bless you as you give up something good for the sake of something better.
Declare a holy fast...
-Joel 1:14
While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said...
-Acts 13:2
Some Helpful Things to Keep in Mind
- Fasting is going without food for spiritual purposes.
- Fasting is a spiritual discipline of surrender to God - the motivation is to seek God, not to manipulate Him.
- Time gained by fasting affords the opportunity to spend time with God - listening, worshiping, interceding, journalizing, etc.
- If you are new to the practice of fasting, consider beginning with a single meal or two or doing a partial fast - juice only.
- Abstaining can also include certain foods or activities like shopping, watching TV, or going on the Internet.
Some Helpful Suggestions:
- Decide ahead of time when and what your fast will be.
- Take some time to pray during your time of fasting.
- Jot down any thoughts, insights, or prayers that the Lord gives you.
Ongoing Prayer Requests
- We are experiencing some delays in construction and in the design of the buildings. Pray that we'll get accurate information needed to keep on schedule with the construction and design.
- Pray for wisdom and God's leading in making decisions about fund raising.
- Praise Report: We continue to be blessed on the project by the benefit of the decomposed granite on site instead of just regular dirt and rock. The DG is being processed so that it can be used as fill for trenches, and base for parking lot. This saves time and money.
- Praise Report: Hazard Construction continues to do a great job and the City of Vista is taking notice of the good work and is appreciative of it.
- Praise Report: The workers of Hazard Construction know people are praying because the project is going so smoothly.
