In the Bible, the purpose of fasting is humbling. Fasting is a scripturally ordained way for us to humble ourselves before the Lord, both personally (Psalm 35:13) and corporately (Jonah 3:6-9; Joel 2:15). Humbling is one of 4 key requirements outlined in 2 Chronicles 7:14 that, when fulfilled, results in spiritual revival, restoration, and healing of the land.

United Prayer invites you to join together with other Christ-believers across Melbourne for a day of prayer and fasting on 18 September 2021 (Saturday). All who want to join this day of fasting are encouraged to engage in a water-only fast, from 6PM of 17 September until 6PM of 18 September (a 24-hour period). Or alternatively, please seek the Lord, as well as medical/expert advice where necessary, for a fast than you can engage in safely and significantly.

United Prayer will also be hosting an online prayer meeting (via Zoom and on Facebook livestream) on 18 September, 9:30-11:30AM. More details to come.

If you’re planning on joining the fast, we would love to hear from you. Please contact us at unitedprayerau@gmail.com.
