Prayer and Fasting Continues

This is day 18 of the 21 day prayer and fasting time throughout the churches of the nation and possibly over the world. We continue to seek the Lord's face. Remember the Scripture says in Hebrews 11:6 ". . .he that cometh to God mut believe that He is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

Eleazar prayed and fasted a day to seek God for Isaac's wife.

Moses went into the mount to pray and fast to seek God.

Elijah went into the mount and prayed and fasted to seek God.

Jesus went into the wilderness to pray and fast and seek His Father.

Daniel mourned and prayed and fasted for three weeks to seek God for return to Jerusalem.

Esther and the jewish people prayed and fasted three days to seek God for protection and deliverance.

Samuel and Israel joined together to pray and fast for revival.

Nehemiah mourned, fasted and prayed to seek God for restoring the walls.

All the people of Nineveh (and even their livestock weren't given food) fasted and prayed to God to seek repentance and forgiveness.

Saul prayed and fasted three days after being encountered by the risen Christ on the road to Damascus. He was transformed into the Apostle Paul.

Peter was on the housetop praying and fasting when he received the vision to go minister to the Gentiles.

The early Christian church prayed and fasted to the Lord before sending ministers out to do mission work.

Do you know of others you would include here? Let us continue to pray and fast unto the Lord.
