Join the Calvary Tabernacle family as we spend 21 days in focused prayer, intentional fasting, and devoted desire to see God's will be done in our lives, community, and nation.

We believe that God has moved on the hearts of the leadership at Calvary Tabernacle to set aside special time to spend in prayer as a church family. The church cannot be silent as the enemy marches through our streets, schools, and homes. We must stand our ground spiritually and pray for God to guide us in what we must do, and pray for God's will to be done in and around us.

SEPTEMBER 22 - OCTOBER 12

CORPORATE PRAYER MEETINGS

We will meet in the Main Auditorium to pray together

Sunday Nights from 6:00PM - 7:00PM

Tuesday Nights from 6:00PM - 7:30PM

PRAYER ROOM OPEN FOR PERSONAL PRAYER TIME

The prayer room (old adult's Sunday School room) will be open for anyone who wants a quiet place to pray before work, during your lunch break, or just during some free time!

Mondays - Wednesdays from 5:00AM - 3:00PM

These prayer times are come-and-go, so come when you can (and leave when you have to)!

Please note: nursery and kid's services are not available for our corporate prayer meetings. We encourage you to bring your little ones with you to pray! One of the greatest things a parent can do for their children is to display a life of surrender and submission to God through prayer.

Scripture does not command Christians to fast. God does not require or demand it of Christians. At the same time, the Bible presents fasting as something that is good, profitable, and beneficial. The book of Acts records believers fasting before they made important decisions (Acts 13:2; 14:23). Fasting and prayer are often linked together (Luke 2:37; 5:33). Too often, the focus of fasting is on the lack of food. Instead, the purpose of fasting should be to take your eyes off the things of this world to focus completely on God. Fasting is a way to demonstrate to God, and to ourselves, that we are serious about our relationship with Him. Fasting helps us gain a new perspective and a renewed reliance upon God.

Although fasting in Scripture is almost always a fasting from food, there are other ways to fast. Anything given up temporarily in order to focus all our attention on God can be considered a fast (1 Corinthians 7:1-5). Fasting should be limited to a set time, especially when fasting from food. Extended periods of time without eating can be harmful to the body. Fasting is not intended to punish the flesh, but to redirect attention to God. Fasting should not be considered a “dieting method” either. The purpose of a biblical fast is not to lose weight, but rather to gain deeper fellowship with God. Anyone can fast, but some may not be able to fast from food (diabetics, for example). Everyone can temporarily give up something in order to draw closer to God.

By taking our eyes off the things of this world, we can more successfully turn our attention to Christ. Fasting is not a way to get God to do what we want. Fasting changes us, not God. Fasting is not a way to appear more spiritual than others. Fasting is to be done in a spirit of humility and a joyful attitude. Matthew 6:16-18 declares, “And when you fast, don’t make it obvious, as the hypocrites do, for they try to look miserable and disheveled so people will admire them for their fasting. I tell you the truth, that is the only reward they will ever get. But when you fast, comb your hair and wash your face. Then no one will notice that you are fasting, except your Father, who knows what you do in private. And your Father, who sees everything, will reward you.'

We encourage you to ask God how He wants you to fast for these 21 days. This is a great opportunity for you to gain greater clarity of His voice and listen to His direction for your life, your family, and our church.
