21-Day Consecration

March 23 - April 13

Our 21 days of consecration have begun which involves the spiritual disciplines of prayer & fasting. Remember, the objective is to hear from God! We encourage you to include abstaining from social media, TV, movies—anything that would hinder you from hearing the stillness of the voice of the Holy Spirit.

How should you fast?

We encourage every person at Pentecostal Tabernacle to select the type of fast they would like to complete from the list below:

  1. Daniel Fast (see details below)
  2. Simply skip one meal per day, and then eat what you want for the remaining meals. For instance, if you normally eat lunch, skip lunch and eat what you want for the remainder of the day. If you typically skip one meal however (ex: breakfast), then you should skip two meals during the fast (breakfast and lunch or breakfast and dinner). Be sure to stay hydrated!
  3. Liquid Fast which is liquids (water, juice, etc) only.
  4. Any combination of numbers 1 through 3 during each different week.
