Vision is entering 2023 with so much excitement and anticipation. There has been tremendous growth, both physically and spiritually as church body. To begin 2023, we are going to set aside 21 days to intentionally connect with God and disconnect from the world.

Throughout scripture, God's people intentionally connect with God through prayer. Prayer is vital in a person's relationship with God. The goal of prayer is not to get something from God, but to know God and to be with God.

Also, many people fasted to disconnect from the world. Biblical fasting always has to do with eliminating distractions for a spiritual purpose; it hits the reset button of our soul and renews us from the inside out. It also enables us to celebrate the goodness and mercy of God and prepares our hearts for all the good things God desires to bring into our lives.

“Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.”

Isaiah 40:31

common Types of fasts

Complete Fast

In this type of fast, you drink only liquids, typically water with light juices or broth as an option for the entirety of the fast.

Selective Fast

This type of fast involves removing certain elements from your diet. One example is the Daniel Fast, in which you remove meat, sweets, and bread from your diet and consume water and juice for fluids and fruits and vegetables for food.

Partial Fast

This fast is sometimes called the “Jewish Fast” and involves abstaining from eating any type of food in the morning and afternoon. This can either correlate to specific times of the day, such as 6:00 am to 3:00 pm, or from sunup to sundown.

Soul Fast

This fast is a great option if you don't have much experience fasting food, have health issues that prevent you from fasting food, or if you wish to refocus certain areas of your life that are out of balance. Examples include stop using social media, watching television, etc.
