21 Days of Prayer & Fasting

On Friday 7 February we invite you to fast and pray with us for 21 Days (until 27th February). If you are able, we encourage you to gather together at 7am, 12pm and 7pm daily to pray. Schedule including locations is attached here: 21 Days Prayer Schedule.

Even if you are unable to commit to the 21 Days, you are invited to join in for any activity that you would like.

Many people in our church community have found the Lectio365 app beneficial for their personal devotional rhythms. It includes a guided scripture and prayer prompt for 'Morning, Midday and Night' which is perfect for the 7am, 12pm and 7pm prayer rhythm. It's a simple process: P.R.A.Y (Pause, Reflect, Ask, Yield) which can be done in 5-10mins or extend much longer if you wish.

If you use the Bible app on your phone you may wish to follow along with a bible reading and devotional plan focused on a 21 day fasting season; if so, this plan from ICF Church may be helpful.

Here are some of the reasons that have led us to have a 21 day season:

• Some of our Aussie Lifestreams churches desperately need breakthrough: more workers, more people coming to faith.
• Many of people need breakthrough in parts of their lives: in relationships, health, work, finances etc.
• This season will extend to the broader Lifestreams Global Family.
• In our 7th December prayer, we received the word: the harvest is coming. The harvest year refers to 2025. We sensed that a 21 day season is a natural extension and the next step to this word.
• Fasting – in terms of fasting, Daniel 10:3 is our guide but we don’t wish to be too prescriptive - this is an invitation only.
