NEW YEAR FAST 2026
Thank you for joining us for 7 weeks of prayer and fasting. Over the next 7 weeks, starting Sunday, January 18th through Saturday, March 7th, we will be corporately and individually praying, fasting and believing to see miracles, signs and wonders take place. We are asking you to choose any three consecutive days within each of these 7 weeks to fast. Such as: Sun-Mon-Tues OR Mon-Tues-Wed OR Wed-Thurs-Fri OR Thurs-Fri-Sat.
As mentioned, corporately we will be praying for miracles, signs and wonders to be realized throughout the ministry. We will also pray for people to meet Jesus and to be planted in His house. Specific daily prayer directives will be outlined later in this devotional. Individually, your prayer should be very detailed concerning what you are yearning from God. Don’t be afraid to be specific. Why are you fasting? Do you need direction, healing, restoration of marriage? Do you have family issues or other relational issues? Are you facing financial difficulties? Once again, don’t be afraid to be specific. Ask the Holy Spirit for guidance as you pray daily and read the Bible.
We believe these 21 days of prayer and fasting over the 7-week timeframe are going to be instrumental in all that God wants to do this year-in your life personally and throughout all the ministries of Oasis of Love F.G.C.
We encourage you to take part in the 21-Days / 7-Weeks of Fasting and Prayer from Jan.18th – Mar.7th 2026. This will be a season of focused fasting and prayer as a church family. Your personal fast should present a level of challenge / discomfort, but it is very important to know your body, your options, and most importantly, to seek God in prayer and follow what the Holy Spirit leads you to do. It’s typical to fast a single meal, a whole day, or various elements of leisure or pleasure for a specified amount of time. We wholeheartedly believe that the length and the element OF your fast are not as important as the strength of your focus ON God AS you fast.
What is fasting?
Fasting Type Options
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 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 6:00a - 3:00p, or from sunup to sundown. (Adjust according to awake hours)
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 to 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.
Why Fast?
The goal of fasting is to draw nearer to God. Biblical fasting always has to do with eliminating distractions for a spiritual purpose; it hits the reset button of our soul and renews us from the inside out. It also enables us to celebrate the goodness and mercy of God and prepares our hearts for all the good things God desires to bring into our lives.

Prayer Declaration
Our Father, if it had not been you on my side, where would I be? Your grace and mercy brought me through 2023 and now I have seen the beginning of 2024.
Father, I am thankful and appreciate all that You have done for me, my household, the Oasis of Love Family and the church ministry as a whole.
Oh Lord, as we wait on you through intense fasting and prayers this month, let me, my household, and the Oasis of Love Family experience “open heavens” that create spiritual opportunities as a result of You having dominion over our lives, our health, our careers, our relationships, and our finances.
I decree and declare that every spiritual valley in and around my life will be filled with an overflow of God’s blessings. I decree and declare that every spiritual mountain and hill in my way, in my family’s way, in the Oasis of Love Family’s way, will be brought low in Jesus’ name.
I decree and declare that every spiritual crooked place in and around my life will be made straight by your power. I decree and declare that every spiritual rough spot in my pathway, in my family’s pathway, the Oasis of Love Family’s pathway and the church ministry’s pathway will be made smooth.
I pray all these declarations in Jesus’ Name, It is So…So shall it be. AMEN!
***Please make every effort to come early each Sunday in February, because we will be anointing and praying with everyone who comes, to seal all the prayers that will be lifted before God’s Throne of Grace over these 21 days.
