Consecration is to devote or to set apart anything to the worship or service of God. We are taking the first month of this year to hear from God about His direction for our lives so that we can move forward with clarity. We want to posture ourselves to get closer to God by taking this time to pull away from the noise and to lock in on the things that He wants us to do in life. Click here to listen to the Set Apart series for more on consecration.

Limit use of the internet, social media, movies, television, cellphones and recreation during the consecration. This does not mean you can’t use the preceding for needful or spiritual things. Please use wisdom. Spend your time praying or reading your Bible or other Christian books. Spend a minimum of 15 minutes of prayer & personal devotion individually or as a family. Listen to gospel music only. Click here to access the Consecration Playlist.

Fasting is defined as abstaining from food, or to restrict oneself to a meager diet, either as a religious observance or as a ceremonial expression of grief; to go without food; also (contextually) to go without drink; to pass (time) fasting; to keep or observe (a day, etc.) as a time of abstinence.

We are asking everyone to participate in a total fast, where we only consume water, until 1:00pm on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays. Feel free to take additional days to fast if you desire.

This fast is not designed to cause you any physical, emotional or mental harm; so it is extremely important to follow your doctor’s orders/instructions. Please consult with your physician to clarify what you are able to do/level of participation, particularly if you are on medication or have existing health conditions.

As we fast on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays, we will cover the next year with prayer. The schedule below is a corporate guide for our church family to focus on. Feel free to allow your personal prayer time to extend beyond the items on this list and daily even on Thursdays through Sundays when there is no required fasting.
