The Awakening

I needed a way to post this on facebook since it wouldn't let me post a document...


Hey ACF! We are excited that you are joining us for the Awakening, and we hope that you are getting prepared for next week. Expect and ask God to move in big ways while we press into Him. If you’ve never fasted before or if you want a schedule to follow for the week – and if you decide to fast from food – this is a good one to try out. This is a “Daniel” type fast, meaning that we will abstain from certain types of food. If you are planning on following a different plan, by all means go for it! But be disciplined and follow through. Run hard after Jesus this week!

From now until Monday the 26th:
-prepare for the fast - cut out sugar and caffeine, and drink lots of water! Sugar crashes and caffeine headaches aren’t fun.

September 26th:
-Fruits and vegetables throughout the day. Drink lots of fluids! Water and juice, but nothing artificial and loaded with sugar.
-Normal dinner – make sure you have some protein in there (fish, eggs, chicken, etc.)

September 27th:
- Fruits and vegetables throughout the day. Drink lots of fluids!
-Normal dinner

September 28th:
- Fruits and vegetables throughout the day. Drink lots of fluids!
-Normal dinner

September 29th:
-Fruits and vegetables only

September 30th: FASTING DAY
-water, juice only

October 1st:
-Small meals throughout the day, water only

**Since you won’t be eating throughout the day, those are great times to be approaching the Lord in prayer. And feel free to meet with your friends and feast (see what I did there?) on the Word and pray together!

"Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied." -Matthew 5:6
