THE SPARROW
A 7 DAY FEARLESS DEVOTIONAL PLAN

KEY VERSE:
Matthew 10:29 (NIV) “Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father’s care.”
REFLECTION:
Sparrows are inexpensive and common, yet God cares for them. This demonstrates His concern for the small and seemingly insignificant aspects of creation. If He pays such close attention to birds, how much more does He value and notice you? Take time to marvel at how deeply God is involved in every part of His creation. He doesn’t overlook or forget anything, including you.

Luke 12:6-7 (NIV) “Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God.”

WHY WE FAST
As we step into 2025, we are calling the fearless family to a 7 day fast, starting on MONDAY, January 6 through Sunday, January 12.
We are believing for a fresh move of God in our CHURCH and cities. our prayer is that we would be awakened to the love of God, reminded of His faithfulness, and engage the call on our lives.
TYPES OF FAST
The fast you choose should present a level of challenge, but it’s 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.
Complete Fast
You drink only liquids, typically water with light juices as an option.
Soul Fast
This is a good option if you do not have much experience in 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 can choose to stop using social media 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.
Selective Fast
You remove certain elements from your diet. One example 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 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 6am to 3pm, or from sunup to sundown.
