2023 Breakthrough Fast

Get Ready for 21 Days of Breakthrough!

Get ready for 21 days of breakthrough fasting! We’re so glad you will be joining us for our annual 21 Day Breakthrough Fast. This year our theme is “Kingdom Ready!” Think of it—prior to his ascension, Jesus had a little less than 6 weeks to put the finishing touches on his disciple-making, and on what does he focus? Kingdom readiness. It says in Acts 1:3, “He presented himself alive to them after his suffering by many proofs, appearing to them during forty days and speaking about the kingdom of God."
 
Jesus wants all his disciples to be kingdom ready. Kingdom readiness is the heart of the Gospel of Christ.
 
During these 21 days of breakthrough, Christ wants to equip you to be kingdom-ready, just as he equipped his original disciples to be kingdom-ready.
 
As we begin our fast tomorrow, keep in mind that a spiritual fast comes in many forms, but ultimately a fast is for one primary purpose: growing more in love with Jesus. When your spiritual hunger is greater than your physical hunger, it’s time to fast. When you are more eager for spiritual breakthrough than to fulfill selfish ambitions, it’s time to fast.
 
When churches and families agree to fast together it becomes a dynamic tool that they can use to break the power of darkness, set captives free, and release God's blessing on those we love. Isaiah 58:6 says, “Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break every yoke?" Fasting not only fills our spiritual appetite for more of God’s presence, it also releases a new level of spiritual, physical, mental, and emotional breakthrough in our lives. 
 
So prepare today for how you will fast (liquids only fast, giving up certain meals, etc.) and prayerfully begin writing down specific breakthroughs you will be seeking God for over these 21 days.
