Acts 1:6-8 (ESV)
So when they had come together, they asked him, “Lord, will you at this time restore the kingdom to Israel?” He said to them, “It is not for you to know times or seasons that the Father has fixed by his own authority. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”
As we gather once more to pray and fast, we say, “Lord, I am empty. I am longing. I do not know how and when You will do it, but You will. I will trust You with what I do not have. And with what I do have from You—the Spirit, the power, the mission—this I shall do. Let me seek first Your kingdom and righteousness, and all the other things I shall trust in You.”
Have you experienced collective prayer and fasting?
The spiritual practices of prayer and fasting play essential roles in the life of every disciple. It is in prayer that we connect to God as He, too, communicates with us. Similarly, in fasting, we abstain from something — such as food, objects, or activities — to devote time and energy to spend with God.We pray and fast on our own, but these practices take on a whole new meaning when they are done as a community. When we pray and fast together, we create opportunities to carry each other's burdens as the Lord had commanded us in Galatians 6:2. Alone we are weak and vulnerable. But together, we are stronger. Collective prayer and fasting strengthen the church as one body.The Christian Bible Church of the Philippines regularly observes RESET – a three-day prayer and fasting period for the entire church. The church gathers every night at 8:00 pm to pray as one body, as one church.
