"I believe the power of fasting as it relates to prayer is the spiritual atomic bomb that our Lord has given us to destroy the strongholds of evil & usher in a great revival & spiritual harvest around the world." - Bill Bright

January 9-29 we will be entering our 20th corporate annual fast as a church. For the past 19 years, Heartland has started the year out with a 21-day fast. It is an opportunity to consecrate our hearts and the rest of the year to the Lord.

We want to encourage each of you to ask the Lord how He would have you participate. Some will abstain from all food and drink only water, others will drink only liquid, while others may do a Daniel fast. Whatever you choose to do, we would encourage you to partake in some form or fashion. The benefits from this over the years, individually and corporately, have been immeasurable. Get excited to watch what the Lord will do as we wrap up a season of fasting!

If you are new to fasting, here is a helpful website.

Also, take advantage of the book of the month available in the bookstore, "God's Chosen Fast" to learn more about this important and powerful spiritual discipline.
