GTCF Corporate Daniel Fast
From Monday 9th to Sunday 29th January 2011 to GTCF will be engaging corporately in a 21 day Daniel Fast. It is important that we as a Church fully understand why we fast and the purpose of fasting. Quite often we attempt to start the new year with various declaration\resolutions, some of which is not in line with God’s Will for our lives.  

To start 2012, we at GTCF want to be aligned to God’s Order and purpose for His Church and over every area of our lives to be in order, functioning the way God purposed it to be. So let us together fast and pray.

What is Fasting? Fasting
A voluntary abstinence from food (Vines), and fleshly activities for spiritual purposes. It was an accepted part of the religious duty among the Jewish people in the days of Christ, and was continued among Christians;

The Hebrew word tsoom means "to cover over" as pertaining to the mouth. Webster’s dictionary definition is "to abstain from food, beyond the usual time; to omit to take the usual meals, for a time; as, to fast a day or a week; to abstain from food voluntarily, for the mortification of the body or appetites, or as a token of grief, sorrow and affliction; to abstain from food partially, or from particular kinds of food   What Does Fasting Do? Once we understand what fasting does for our lives, we will want to engage in a time of fasting as we understand what it does in our lives. Fasting will put you in a position of higher faith.
