A JOURNEY IN FASTING AND SPIRITUAL WARFARE
Empowered Prayer
January 12 – 15, 2025
This life-changing retreat will immerse you in an environment of worship, prayer, teaching, and fasting to empower you for spiritual warfare in these critical times.
“For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.”
– Ephesians 6:12
A Call to
Transform Our World Through
Prayer & Fasting
“For my house will be called a house of prayer for all nations.” – Isaiah 56:7
God’s home address is prayer. It is in the sacred space of prayer that we meet with Him, seek His face, and partner with His kingdom purpose. Yet, as the Body of Christ, we must ask ourselves: Are we truly living as a Church that prays? Are we ready to engage with the most powerful tools God has given us to reshape the world around us?
Throughout history, the greatest movements of God were birthed through corporate prayer and fasting. From King Jehoshaphat calling all of Judah to seek the Lord in prayer and fasting (2 Chronicles 20:3-4) to the Day of Pentecost (Acts 2:1-4), prayer has always been the spark for revival and breakthrough. It is through prayer and fasting that we can transform the destiny of our churches, cities, and nations.
“If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.”
– 2 Chronicles 7:14
Empowered Prayer is an answer to God’s call to stand in unity, humbling ourselves in fasting and intercession. Together, we will seek His face for personal transformation, the healing of our communities, and revival across the globe. Just as the apostles in the book of Acts reshaped history through their obedience, this is our time to rise up and re-write history according to the will of Jesus.
This is a sacred call. God is asking, “Will you be a people willing to pay the price through prayer and fasting, to see My vision fulfilled?”
This retreat is designed to educate, equip, and empower the body of Christ with the knowledge and practice of prayer and fasting. We can no longer be satisfied with praying once a week or watching in dismay at the deterioration of our families, communities, and countries. We must stand and take our place in the battle of the last days.
Over three days, you will encounter God in a new way and experience the profound spiritual power of prayer and fasting. Whether you are new to these disciplines or a seasoned warrior, you will leave feeling refreshed, empowered, and ready to step into the calling God has placed on your life.
Join us as we gather in worship, dive into life-changing teachings, and come together in fervent prayer and fasting. Now is the time to unite in faith and obedience, to unlock heaven’s power, and to transform our world through the mighty act of prayer.
“This kind can come out only by prayer and fasting.”
– Mark 9:29
