WAYS TO ENGAGE

- CHOOSE A FAST:

The goal of fasting is to draw near to God. It hits the reset button of our soul and renews us from the inside out. When deciding on a fast, we encourage you to seek God in prayer and follow what the Holy Spirit leads you to do.

Types of Fasting:

Selective Fast - involves removing certain elements from your diet
Partial Fast - involves abstaining from eating any type of food between certain times of the day or certain meals
Complete Fast - in this type of fast, you drink only liquids, typically water with light juices as an option.
Soul Fast - a great option if you do not have much experience fasting food, have health issues that prevent you from fasting food, or if you wish to refocus certain areas of your life that are out of balance. For example, you might choose to stop using social media or watching television during this fast.

- SET A TIME AND A PLACE TO PRAY:

- READ THE BIBLE EVERYDAY:

Read the Bible everyday: one of the ways we get to Know God better is through His word. The Bible is God’s word written to us personally. We encourage everyone to participate in this 21 day devotional.

21 Days Of Fasting And Prayer Devotional

- ATTEND CHURCH EVERY SUNDAY

- SERVE THOSE AROUND YOU:

Fasting isn’t just about giving something up. It’s also about giving of yourself.

Serve on the Revitalize Dream Team
Show acts of kindness wherever you go (i.e. pay for
someone’s coffee, open the door for other people,
etc.)
Smile, encourage those around you.
