Have you been wanting to fast but truly don’t know where to start?! Well, You are at the right place!
No matter where you are on your walk with God, we want you to Know God and Live out His heart! Here at Nikao, we truly want you to be in relationship with Him. During 7 Days of Prayer and Fasting we will corporately intentionally seek God together! We will be live on our YouTube channel every morning at 6 AM and have an in-person prayer on January 18th at our main campus.
Our first quarter fast officially begins on Monday, January 13th, 2025, and will end Sunday, January 19, 2025.
WHAT IS THE GOAL AND PURPOSE BEHIND PRAYER & FASTING?
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 of the good things God desires to bring into our lives.
