Seek is a time where Real Life seeks the Lord for His guidance, provision, and favor. We understand that God accomplishes His work by the power of His Spirit and through the prayers of His people.

Zechariah 4:6 “So he answered and said to me: ‘This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ Says the Lord of hosts.’”

Matthew 7:7 “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.”

Seek is designed for everyone. It does not matter how young or old you are. It doesn’t matter if you’re new to Real Life, or you have attended the church for years. Seek is a time for God’s people to join their hearts in seeking the Lord until He comes and pours out His Spirit upon us.

Hosea 10:12 “Sow for yourselves righteousness; Reap in mercy; Break up your fallow ground, For it is time to seek the Lord, Till He comes and rains righteousness on you.”

Our call to seek the Lord is found in Psalm 27:8 “When You said, ‘Seek My face,’ My heart said to You, ‘Your face, Lord, I will seek.’” God wants Real Life to seek His face not just His hand of blessing. Will we respond like the Psalmist who said, “Your face, Lord, I will seek.”

Tuesdays & Thursdays the sanctuary will be open for individuals to pray at their own pace. Come as you are for a time of meditation and prayer.

Sunday morning prayer is held every Sunday at 8:15am, all throughout the fast.

1. Choose a fast.  There are many different ways to fast.  Whatever fast you choose, remember to set your heart on God while you fast.

• Try to fast a few days each week in a variety of ways:

— Fast 1 meal of the day

— Fast sunup to sundown

— Fast a 24 hour period and drink water and/or juice

— Fast a 24 hour period with only water

— Fast consecutive days such as 2-3 days in a row

• 21 Day Daniel Fast.  You eliminate sweets, meats, and your favorite beverage.
• 21 Day Daniel Fast.  You eat one meal a day for 21 days.

2. Remove Distractions.  Our hearts can be distracted with the cares and pleasures of life.  Let’s eliminate some of the distractions of the internet or television during our 21 days. (Choose one or both).

•         You eliminate or reduce television and movies for 21 days.
•         You eliminate or reduce social media for 21 days.

3. Pray and intercede.  When we fast but not pray, it is simply a diet.  But when we fast and pray, God bends down from Heaven and listens.  Seek is designed to be a corporate time of fasting and prayer.

•         Please attend as many prayer meetings as you can.
•         Please attend as many church services as you can.

4.   Read the Word.  Let us saturate our hearts with God’s Word.  God will speak to us from His Word when we fast. (Choose a Scripture reading challenge.)

•         Read a chapter of John, a Psalm and a Proverb each day.
•         Read the four Gospels and the Book of Acts.
•         Read the entire New Testament.

5.   Journal.  Let us reflect on what God is saying to us through our reading of the Word and our prayers.  Let us meditate on God’s promises and treasure His Word in our hearts.

Join us for an extraordinary evening of worship as we finish the 2024 SEEK journey of fasting and prayer.
