DAY 3

CONFESS TO GOD

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

1 John 1:9 NIV


•  Be still so you can focus on the needs of your heart
• Take account of your sins which need His forgiveness
• Ask God to forgive you
  
Have faith, knowledge and confidence that you are forgiven. Don’t let the enemy tell you different.

21 Days Of Prayer & Fasting

Our 21 Days of Fasting and Prayer will begin March 18-19. We hope you will join us as we pray for opportunities to share our faith with family members, friends and coworkers and have the boldness to invite them to a Grace Family Church Easter Service.

All the Grace Family Church locations will be hosting a prayer time as we pray for our family, friends, neighbors, and co-workers to attend an Easter service.

  • COMPLETE FAST - In this type of fast, you drink only liquids, typically water with light juices as an option.
  • SELECTIVE FAST - This type of fast involves removing certain elements from your diet. One example of a selective fast is the Daniel Fast, during which you remove meat, sweets, and bread from your diet and consume water and juice for fluids and fruits and vegetables for food.
  • PARTIAL FAST - This fast is sometimes called the "Jewish Fast" and involves abstaining from eating any type of food in the morning and afternoon. This can either correlate to specific times of the day, such as 6:00 AM to 3:00 PM, or from sunup to sundown.
  • SOUL FAST - This fast is a great option if you do not have much experience fasting food, have health issues that prevent you from fasting food, or if you wish the refocus certain areas of your life that are out of balance. For example, you might choose to stop using social media or watching television for the duration of the fast and then carefully bring that element back into your life in healthy doses at the conclusion of the fast.
