    Seven Spiritual Benefits of Fasting

    1.⁠ ⁠Fasting is an essential way to achieve restoration. By humbling yourself through prayer and fasting, you allow the Holy Spirit to perform His reviving work within you. This process draws you deeper into the life of Christ and enhances your awareness of God's reality and presence in your life.

    2.⁠ Fasting diminishes the power of the SELF, allowing the Holy Spirit to work more intensely within you.

    3.⁠ Fasting is a powerful means of spiritual purification, allowing you to cleanse your spirit and soul according to God's righteousness. It creates a space for reflection and meditation, helping to strip away distractions and foster a deeper understanding of your Christian beliefs and values.

    4.⁠ ⁠Fasting increases your spiritual reception by quieting your mind and emotions.

    5.⁠ ⁠Fasting brings yieldedness, even a Holy brokenness, resulting in inner calm and self-control.

    6.⁠ ⁠Fasting renews spiritual Vision.

    7.⁠ Fasting strengthens your resolve to adhere to God's revealed plan for your life.

  • Why HSIM Fast

    1. It's a response to a command by the Lord

    2. Deepen spiritual intimacy

    3. Seek God's will for the upcoming month.

    4. Strengthen spiritual resolve

    Our ministry will observe a designated fasting period for two day at the end of each month to seek God's guidance and direction for our path forward. This practice is inspired by the biblical account found in Acts 13:2-3, where the church leaders in Antioch engaged in fasting and prayer before commissioning Paul and Barnabas for their missionary journey.

    This moment in scripture emphasizes the critical role that fasting plays in our spiritual lives, particularly in discerning God’s will for our ministry efforts. By stepping away from our daily routines and dedicating this time to prayer, reading our Bible, and meditating on it, we aim to connect more deeply with God, seeking His insight and empowerment for the opportunities ahead. We believe that through collective fasting and prayer, we will gain clarity and strength for the work He has called us to do.

  • Calendar: Why  We Fast Two Days A Month

    Instructions & Guidance

    It's essential to approach fasting with a sincere heart, seeking God's guidance and wisdom, and being open to how He may lead and speak during these times of consecration. Typically, the fast begins on the third Friday of each month, after our Bible study, and ends on Sunday.

    1. Clear your personal calendar as much as possible to accommodate the fasting period.

    2. Consume lighter foods for a few days before starting the fast.

    3. If you are taking medications or are pregnant, it's important to be cautious about fasting. Speak to your doctor if necessary and make any necessary adjustments.

    4. Prepare to drink only water throughout the fasting period (no juices or solid food for two days).

    5. Ensure you are added to the WhatsApp Fasting Group before the fast begins.

    6. Participate in the scheduled corporate prayer times via Google Meet.

    7. Prepare to conclude the fast with communion (using unleavened bread and grape juice) and an offering to the Lord.
