The corporate fast and prayer is well underway at Vida Nueva Christian Ministries. We are at Day 9 today. 2 Chronicles 7:14; “if my people who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”
Fasting is a privilege and allows for the Christian to grow closer to God. It is also a very powerful weapon. During our fast, let us be specific about our prayers. Remember that our focus during this fast is to pray for the youth! This generation is under attack and we must intercede for them during these very trying times. 1 Peter 2:9 says, “But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who called you out of darkness into His marvelous light.” Let us declare this verse for our youth!
If you need a copy of the outline we are following or would like to send it to someone, use this link (FASTING OUTLINE).
A few things to keep in mind during the fast:
- Meet with the Father daily! Set a time from your busy schedule to sit with the Master and Creator of the Universe! He always has time for you!
- Pray without ceasing! Just because you have finished praying during your scheduled time, doesn’t mean you have to stop praying. As you go through your day, be open to pray for others as the Lord leads.
- Keep a journal. There are some incredible things He has done, and will do in your life. This is a good way of keeping record of answered prayers or experiences.
- Trust Him for your miracle! “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.” (Proverbs 3:4-6)
- Have a spirit of expectation! When you meet with the Lord, know that He too has set that time aside just for you, so be expectant that He is there with you, hearing your cry and listening to your heart.
- Seek after Him fervently! For…”He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him!” (Hebrews 11:6)
Let us know your experience during this fast so far. We would love to hear from you!

Mark 9:24
Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!”
As I was glorifying the Lord this morning, He reminded me of this verse. We are fasting and praying for our youth, for our children, the next generation of leaders in our Country…but most of all, our Legacy. Our seed, the seed the enemy wants to kill, steal and destroy.
We will stand, in unity, declaring that this seed, the seed of our womb, will serve the Lord! We claim them for His Kingdom, for His eternity. We will see it in the Land of the Living. Our eyes will see the Glory of the Lord in our youth. In Jesus name. Amen.
