2025 40 Day Fast

Daily Devotionals

Please follow these new guidelines as you participate in the 2025 40 Day Fast.

Saints in observance of the 40-Day’s Fast (12:00 midnight to 12:00 noon) beginning  January 1, 2025, through February 9, 2025, we as believers need to fast and develop a  closer relationship with God. Fasting, Praying, and Sacrificing are the quickest ways to  get power from God. We cannot navigate through the End-time storms of life if we do not  practice fasting, praying, and sacrificing things that take up more of our time than our  time with God. “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present  your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable  service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of  your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of  God.” (Romans 12:1-2) 

For this Fasting period, the Spirit of God has moved me to ask the Saints to give up  something (or some things) that they have been holding on to, and that have put distance  between them and God. Only you can decipher what things you need to give up. It could  be deception, anger, unforgiveness, unfaithfulness, neglecting to tithe or support your  church financially, backbiting, sins that go against maintaining a healthy body, etc. This  can go along with the refraining of eating/drinking during the hours of 12 am – 12 pm.  Please know that the condition of your internal body health can improve greatly if you take this  time to give up things that are harmful to your body (the temple that the Holy Ghost dwells in).  During these 40 days of sacrificing and praying, choose to take better care of yourself. 

So many people of God are suffering with sicknesses today, and even death, because of  hidden sins, negative thoughts that cause stress, unprofitable conversations and  gossiping, overeating, and the lack of exercise. This different type of Fasting, Praying and  Sacrificing will begin the practice of a different lifestyle that will enhance your living and  give you a closer relationship with God. The more you practice positive changes and  repent for your sins, you will permanently become a better person and be rapture ready. 

While fasting, spend more quality time and intimacy with the Lord in worship; reading  scriptures and positive literature; in singing spiritual songs and hymns; and in thankful  prayers to God. Internalize Ephesians 5:19-20 “Speaking to yourselves in psalms and  hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;  Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord  Jesus Christ;” 

Finally, as you fast and pray, take time to read and focus on the scriptures and prayer  focuses for each day. I am praying for your spiritual success for these 40 days. Remember  “…with God all things are possible”. (Matthew 19:26). 

In His Service,
