Hip Hope International -21Days of prayer & fasting
[Monday, March 21st - Sunday,
April 10th]
The purpose of this prayer & fast is intimacy and breakthrough. This fast will cause us to go deeper in our intimacy with Christ. My hope is that the Lord will reveal more of himself to you during this time. Finally, Jesus told is disciples "This kind can come out only by prayer" (Mark 9:17-29). In Mark 19, the disciples had difficult accomplishing the task Christ told them to do because they had not spent adequate time in prayer. As a Christian we have been given authority to preach the gospel, cast out demon and heal the sick(Mark 6:7, 12-13) but prayer helps us walk in the fullness of this authority. As we plan for the outreach/missions trip in Chicago we need breakthrough in the spirit and this only comes through prayer. if you can't fast that is okay, it is more important to pray through the prayer point daily. Please fast as you are lead to do by God. Please take your health into consideration when you are fasting.
