The Philadelphia Seventh Day Adventist Church in Burlington, North Carolina USA
Welcomes you to our 1st Daniel Fast!
Hello Saints,
I am pleased to accompany you on this Daniel Fast journey as we begin 2022 together. We are approaching two years since our lives have changed with this worldwide pandemic and I can confidently say that God truly is good.
We remember the story of the three Hebrew boys who were faced with adversity when taken into Babylonian captivity. Daniel and his three friends were asked to eat unclean meats from the king’s royal table. While eating from the king’s table was considered an honor, they quickly realized that they could not honor God and King Nebuchadnezzar. They chose to honor God rather than man and requested for a diet of only vegetables and water for 10 days. The Bible shares with us that at the end of their 10 day fast, they were 10 times better than the wise men of Babylon!
The Hebrew boys were a witness in a strange land. I believe we have the same mission today. The purpose of this fast is for God to intercede on behalf of whatever is most important in our lives right now. It maybe our health, marriage, finances or children. Whatever it is, please spend these 21 days asking for God’s power to move in our lives and the lives of others. I also encourage you to invite friends and families to join. While this is a fast for 21 days, they can join anytime.
Our mission for 2022 is iReach. I believe our church is special in its willingness to reach our community. We also have an online revival entitled, “Reach Up, Reach Out” which begins January 23rd – February 5th 2022. We will meet nightly at 7pm with special guests joining us from across the country. Please invite your family and friends to attend. God Bless.
