Fasting is a willingness to separate yourself from the things of this world and put your focus solely on the Lord. It has been a powerful spiritual tool used by Christians and ministry leaders the world over and was modeled in biblical contexts throughout Scripture in times of trial, in seeking divine direction, and for deliverance from sin and evil.
Spread the word to your family & friends all over the world that Word of Faith services will now be streamed LIVE on Facebook beginning THIS SUNDAY at 10:30am! Simply log onto Facebook and go to the Word of Faith Facebook page to join our LIVE broadcast.
Fasting is an important element with helping us grow closer in relationship with Christ. This past Sunday, Bishop Butler taught us that our fasting period should be filled with meaningful prayer, sacrifice and service to those in need.
