Why We Should Do 40 Days of Prayer and Fasting

At New Jerusalem Church, we believe prayer and fasting are powerful tools that bring spiritual renewal and transformation. For 40 days, we set aside time to seek God more deeply, not only for personal growth but also for unity and revival in our church and community.

Prayer connects us to God’s heart, while fasting helps us silence the distractions of the world so we can hear His voice clearly. It’s a time to humble ourselves, repent, and realign our lives with His will.

These 40 days are more than a spiritual discipline, they are a journey of faith, breakthrough, and divine encounter. As we pray and fast together, we believe God will refresh our spirit, heal our land, and prepare us for a greater move of His power.

“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…” — 2 Chronicles 7:14
