"In prayer you shall perceive ... the way out of every situation that has no exit." 
                                                                                                           - Medjugorje March 28, 1985

"Do novenas of fasting and renunciation so that satan be far from you and grace be around you"                                                                                                             -  Medjugorje July 25, 2005

This week is one of the most special in the year.  We are in the midst of the nine days leading up to this Sunday’s feast of Pentecost, the day that changed everything.

Heaven’s quote in Medjugorje could not have been more poignant regarding the night and day impact of having the Holy Spirit in our lives:

Whenever you pray, pray first for the Holy Spirit because when you have the Holy Spirit, you have everything.

Everything as in:

Wisdom.

Health.

Joy.

… the Power of God.

Here are the lyrics from Francesca Battistelli’s song, Holy Spirit

There's nothing worth more
That could ever come close
No thing can compare
You're our living hope
Your presence, Lord
I've tasted and seen
Of the sweetest of loves
Where my heart becomes free
And my shame is undone
Your presence, Lord

[Chorus:]
Holy Spirit, You are welcome here
Come flood this place and fill the atmosphere
Your glory, God, is what our hearts long for
To be overcome by Your presence, Lord
Your presence, Lord

There's nothing worth more
That could ever come close
No thing can compare
You're our living hope
Your presence, Lord
I've tasted and seen
Of the sweetest of loves
Where my heart becomes free
And my shame is undone
Your presence, Lord

[Chorus]

[x4:]
Let us become more aware of Your presence
Let us experience the glory of Your goodness

What a consideration – the Spirit is what human hearts need most and nothing can compare to of fill the void of His presence …

Your glory, God, is what our hearts long for
To be overcome by Your presence, Lord

And the petition, to become more aware of His whispers, His insights, His counsel in every area of our lives…

Let us become more aware of Your presence
Let us experience the glory of Your goodness

And to experience the glory of His presence… glory that Jesus said was so extraordinary it would allow us to perform greater miracles than Jesus did … greater than raising the dead or walking on water.

As we head into Pentecost this Sunday, let us implore The Father to pour out The Spirit upon us as He did at the original Pentecost and transform the church into courageous miracle working followers of our Lord … what the world needs.

Holy Spirit - Performed by Francesca Battistlli

Thank you for fasting with us today.  You will be glad you made the effort for all of eternity.

Why We Fast – Our Core Fasting Intentions

1) We add the new fasting intention of taking back the church from evil. We submit the three-step process to achieve this victory is 1-Repent, 2-Prayer & Fasting and, 3-Imitate our Savior by throwing the evil leadership from the church. We will seek to emulate the Savior in our effort to End The USCCB, an organization that has been devastating to the church.  (“You shall know the spirit by the fruits” - Matt. 7:16)

2) For the Holy Spirit to reign down upon America, renewing our land as the Christian, capitalist meritocracy we were founded to be.

3) For the protection of our police, firefighters, military and their families from harm and that the Lord bless their courageous generosity on our behalf.

4) For the protection of the families who fast with us, and for God’s blessings of abundance upon them and that true to His word, we will be able to witness that He prospered us in famine.

Would you like to learn more about fasting?

We maintain a repository of ideas and information we have learned over the last decade while fasting weekly for America. From scientific studies on the benefits of fasting, to the differences between intermittent dieting vs intermittent fasting, to scriptural references regarding the power of fasting to the history of first century Christians who stated believers are obligated to fast weekly, we hope you will find numerous insights with our free resource located here.

Together let us also implore Heaven while fasting for intentions you have highlighted:

4) For all patriots who put themselves on the front lines in combatting evil and for all of the warriors who are stepping up around the nation to fight for the gospel – May The Father cover them in the blood of our savior,  protect them and their families from evil and bring victory to their endeavors.

5) For priests, ministers and all who aspire to lead others to the Lord, that the Holy Spirit will reign down upon them as at Pentecost filling them to overflowing. 

6) For the Americans jailed after January 6th who were admitted to the Capitol building by the police, and who were not found to have destroyed any property at the capitol yet who have been held captive ever since on our own soil - That God's Spirit will move quickly to bring justice back to this land and free them.
