The Authority Fast is more than a fast—it’s a powerful opportunity to deepen our spiritual connection and overcome obstacles.
As we focus on healing, unity, and seeking God’s wisdom, we will break free from limitations, foster harmony in our relationships, and pray for the growth of our church community.
I ate no delicacies, no meat or wine entered my mouth, nor did I anoint myself at all, for the full three weeks. – Daniel 10:3

Breaking free from the spirit of Jezebel

Asking God to guide us in all our steps
