2026 Prayer and Fasting / Walking in the Light
Out of the Box Church – 2026 Fasting Guide
A Year of Light | Walking in the Light
WHY WE FAST AS A CHURCH
In 2026, the Lord has called our church to walk in the light with clarity, obedience, and
devotion. Fasting helps us refocus our hearts, remove distractions, and draw near to God.
Fasting does not earn God's love—it creates space to experience Him more fully.
"Draw near to God and He will draw near to you." (James 4:8 NKJV)
OUR FASTING COMMITMENT
As a church family, we commit to a three-day fast at the beginning of every month throughout 2026. Each fast is a spiritual reset—a time to realign our hearts and walk forward in God's light.
"Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path." (Psalm 119:105 NKJV)
THE THEME: WALKING IN THE LIGHT
God is light, and walking with Him brings truth, clarity, and freedom. As we fast, we choose to step away from darkness and step into the life of Christ.
"I am the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life." (John 8:12 NKJV)
TYPES OF FASTS
Choose the fast the Lord leads you to do in faith:
Full Fast: Water or clear liquids only.
Partial Fast: Fruits and vegetables (Daniel-style).
Meal Fast: Skip one or two meals daily and replace with prayer.
Media Fast: Remove distractions such as social media or entertainment.
The goal is not deprivation—it is devotion.
HOW TO FAST WELL
Replace meals with prayer and Scripture. Listen for the Holy Spirit’s guidance. Fast with
humility, not performance.
"When you fast… your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly." (Matthew 6:17–18
NKJV)
SUGGESTED 3-DAY FAST FOCUS
Day 1 – Light Reveals
Prayer Focus: Lord, reveal anything that does not belong in my life.
Scriptures: Psalm 139:23–24; John 3:19–21
Day 2 – Light Cleanses
Prayer Focus: Lord, cleanse my heart and renew my mind.
Scriptures: 1 John 1:7–9; Ephesians 5:8–14
Day 3 – Light Leads
Prayer Focus: Lord, lead me forward in obedience and faith.
Scriptures: Isaiah 60:1–2; Proverbs 4:18
CORPORATE PRAYER
Father, we choose Your light over darkness, Your truth over compromise, and Your presence over distraction. Search us, cleanse us, and lead us. We commit to walk in the light as You are in the light. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
OUR EXPECTATION FOR 2026
As we fast and walk in the light, we believe God will bring clarity, strengthen families, restore joy, and produce lasting fruit in our church.
"The path of the just is like the shining sun, that shines ever brighter unto the perfect day."
(Proverbs 4:18 NKJV)
