AWAKEN DAY 20


Fasting Item : Technology, meats, sweets, & junk food

Daily Scripture Reading : Mark 9


Why did Jesus only take 3 of the disciples up to the mountain? Maybe it's because we give more access to those we're the most connected to. Being close to God doesn't have to happen just during AWAKEN. Keep it going the next 21 days by making prayer, fasting, and devotions a regular part of your life. 

Get alone with God. Disconnect every now and then from your phone and other distractions and you'll find that being close to God can be something you experience everyday.

Keep going the next 21 days... and the 21 days after that.... and so on. What you have practiced in these 3 weeks is super easy to sustain long-term. Prayer, fasting, and personal devotion are all quite simple to make part of your everyday life. During Awaken, you've created space for God to fill. The best way to continue in these same practices

Introduction to AWAKEN Like prayer and Bible reading, fasting is one of the spiritual disciplines of followers of Jesus. The next few paragraphs or to help you get your mind around fasting and help you get started in this powerful Christian. BTW: God is about to do something awesome in your life on this 21 day journey. What is FASTING ? Biblical fasting is, very simply, denying yourself food for the sake of seeking and honoring God. Pastor Stovall Weems says that, "Prayer is connecting with God; fasting is disconnecting ourselves from the world." That's a great way to describe the feeling.
