A Corporate Fast

September 8-21, 2024

“Arise, Jerusalem! Let your light shine for all to see. For the glory of the LORD rises to shine on you. Darkness as black as night covers all the nations of the earth, but the glory of the LORD rises and appears over you. All nations will come to your light; mighty kings will come to see your radiance.” —Isaiah 60:1-3

In case there was any doubt, 2024 has given us even more evidence that we are in the last of the last days! We are living in a time where anti-God decisions are being made all around us, and darkness covers the earth and the people (Isaiah 60:1-3). It’s during times like these that we, as believers, must stay rooted and grounded in the Word of God. One of the ways to do that is through fasting and prayer.

You may have joined us in February of this year for a time of corporate fasting and prayer. We believe the results of that fast have produced, and will continue to produce, many breakthroughs and miracles. While it is dark in the world, darkness can never extinguish the light of Jesus shining through His Church (John 1:5)! That’s why it’s time for us to fast and pray once again, as we continue to contend for the will of God to be done on earth and for as many people as possible to receive Jesus as Lord!

Watch this teaching I gave at Kenneth Copeland Ministries’ Believer’s Institute entitled Lord of the Fast.

A Daniel Fast

Nearly 3000 years ago, Daniel initiated his own time of fasting, known today as the Daniel fast, to set his face toward God in order for his nation to experience breakthrough (Daniel 10:2-3). Daniel and those that joined him sought God for victory and God provided it in great measure. Today, Kenneth Copeland Ministries and Eagle Mountain International Church, in obedience to the leading of the Holy Spirit, are stepping into that same mandate. We are laying aside “pleasant food” and choosing instead to focus our hearts and minds on God.

In this fast, we are not asking you not to eat. “Pleasant food” means not eating or drinking things you crave (such as sugar, special drinks or bread), and it can also refer to what you see, hear and do. The point of this season is to turn our attention to God and listen to what He has to say. So, seek the Lord about what you should fast.

Our Fasting Assignment

We are participating in this corporate proclaimed fast to put an end to the business of the enemy, and to experience mighty breakthroughs. As we fast, we have a focused prayer assignment:

To take authority over corruption in the nation—especially in the upcoming elections.

Our nation is at one of the greatest crossroads in history. Corruption, wickedness, heavy burdens, oppression and demonic strongholds have threatened our future existence. That’s why we, as a church family, for 14 days are laying aside the cravings of the flesh to prayerfully seek the face of the only One who can heal our land.

Victory In Jesus' Name

We stand in faith that America is victorious against corruption and that we will experience the shalom of God (wholeness and completeness, with nothing missing!). So, get ready to join us in this fast and exercise your faith that corruption on every level—local, state and national—shall bow its knee to the Name above all, Jesus Christ of Nazareth!

Mark your calendars for Sept. 8-21 for this corporate time to fast and pray!
