CITADEL OF DELIVERANCE 2016 CONSECRATION

21 Days Of Prayer & Fasting January 4-25, 2016

In order to move us ahead in 2016 individually and corporately, time has been identified so that we may be strengthened and be positioned to launch forward into our destiny. We are called into a Solemn Assembly, a time of fasting and prayer to refocus and reposition us. For 21 days, Citadel Of Deliverance will be in a period of consecration: fasting and praying; going before God, breaking strongholds, principalities and powers, and asking God to bring in alignment and restoration. These are 21 days of repentance, consecration, and rededication to the Lord! We are seeking God’s face in prayer and fasting with repentance, wailing, and laying before God. Ask God – What do You want out of my life? What do You want out of our ministry? What are You trying to teach me? What do I need to learn? For these 21 days, set yourself aside in consecration. Be sure to spend time in devotions, prayer, and studying the Word, and refuse all carnality. During the consecration period, please choose one of either the Daniel Fast or Normal Fast. There is spiritual warfare coming against our nation, our economy, our churches, our families, our leadership and ourselves. We must pray it out together; rebuke the enemy and plead the blood of Jesus. Expect God to bring deliverance, restoration, healing and renewal. Believe Him for opportunities, employment, financial breakthroughs and great miracles of every kind. Through prayer, earth can reach Heaven; humanity can touch Divinity; the natural can touch the Supernatural; the ordinary, the Extraordinary. “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 will forgive their

sin and heal their land.” II Chronicles 7:14

 Linwood Dillard, Pastor

DEFINITION OF CONSECRATION Making sacred; dedicating to the service and worship of God; separated from a common use to a sacred one. Metaphorically meaning perfect although not faultless, but bringing to a state of completion and fulfillment; to renew, to complete, mature, reaching the intended goal; to finish a work or duty. Biblical Foundation for Fasting “Is this not the fast that I have chosen: to loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, to let the oppressed go free, and that you break every yoke?” (Isaiah 58:6) What can we expect from fasting?

• Read the entire chapter of Isaiah 58. Verse 8 says, "Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the LORD shall be thy reward." (KJV)

• One may fast to express repentance and the return to God (Joel 2:12; Jonah 3:5-8).

• It is used to humble ourselves before God (1 Kings 21:27-29; 2 Chronicles 7:14; Psalm 35:13).

• It will strengthen prayer (Ezra 8:23; Nehemiah 1:4; Daniel 9:3; Joel 2:12; Acts 13:3).

• It assists us in seeking God's guidance (Judges 20:26-28; Acts 14:23). • It is used to express concern and facilitate the work of the Kingdom of

God (Nehemiah 1:3-4; Daniel 9:3). The three main types of fasting in scripture are as follows: The Partial Fast – This fast is typically known as “The Daniel Fast” – (Daniel 10:3). This type of fast is not a total abstinence from food, but rather a restriction in the types of food eaten. For example, in this fast, one might refrain from eating meats and delicacies, but eat fruits and vegetables. The partial fast can also be accomplished by refraining from eating any food during specific hours. For example, one might eat nothing from 6:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m., but eat one meal during 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. The Normal Fast – This is a total liquid fast, which includes complete abstinence from food for a designated period. (Matthew 2) (From 12 midnight to 3:00 p.m.) The Total Fast – Total abstinence from both food and liquids for a brief period of time, seldom more than three days.

Preparation for Fasting PRAY FIRST! Ask the Lord to show you how to fast and when you are to fast. Individuals who plan to participate in this 21 Days of Prayer & Fasting are advised to seek the consultation and advice of their physician, prior to initiation. Eating Principles

1. Drink at least one gallon of water daily. While fasting, the body has more waste to get rid of. This is why it is important to consume no less than one gallon of water per day. The following schedule is suggested: Morning: drink 1 quart of water (over a 30 minute period) Noon: drink 1 quart of water (over a 30 minute period) Evening: drink 1 quart of water (between 5 and 6pm)

(The overweight person needs to consume an additional glass of water for every 25 pounds of excess weight.) When the body is thirsty water should be taken immediately. This drinking schedule brings the body’s fluids into balance. This causes more fat to be used as fuel. It also alleviates fuel retention, which helps maintain muscle tone and causes a natural decrease in appetite. When the body’s fluids are balanced, the body does not require or crave food as much as when it is out of balance. For better tasting water, squeeze fresh lemon juice into your water.

2. Plenty of cranberry juice should be taken; this helps to flush the kidneys.

3. Abstain from fatty foods, caffeine, sugar, dairy products, and meat. 4. For this consecration “MEAT” is defined as pork and beef. You

may eat skinless chicken and fish. 5. Resist eating fried foods, fast foods, and lessen salt intake.

OTHER GUIDELINES If you are not reading your Bible and praying DAILY during these 21 Days, then you are just dieting. Increase Prayer Time: Begin each day in prayer and devotion. This may include prayer, studying Bible passages, meditating on the Word, and/or being still before the Lord. Increase Your Ability to Hear the Lord: Be selective in how you spend your time. Limit, avoid, or even exclude secular TV, radio, and magazines. Limit or avoid excessive social telephone calls and excessive use of social technology. Spend some time outside. Walking under the open sky is an excellent way to connect with and hear God.

Families with Children: Generate family unity. Parents sit down with your children and have them lead devotion. Help your children choose to avoid fast foods, video games, or other types of foods or activities that they find gratifying. Limit their electronic devices usage. Breaking the Partial or Normal Fast So many individuals complete the fast successfully and then do damage to their physical temples by breaking the fast incorrectly. In breaking the fast, please do not eagerly seek to eat every type of food that was sacrificed during the fast immediately at the end of the fast. Because your body has been through a transition, it is important to slowly break the body in.

To break the Partial or Daniel Fast, slowly increase the intake of foods. Continue to drink plenty of liquids; water is highly recommended. It is suggested that after you feel your body has adjusted, begin to eat small quantities of a healthy diet.

To break the Normal Fast, it suggested that the individual begin with soft foods that are not heavy, such as Jell-O, applesauce, etc. Do this for a day or two. Continue to drink plenty of liquids; water is highly recommended.

PLEASE NOTE Pastor Linwood Dillard and the Citadel Of Deliverance advise all members and participants of this consecration to consider their personal health needs and to consult their personal physician prior to beginning this fast. Therefore, we specifically disclaim any responsibility from any physical reaction from this fast.
