Greetings in the Name of Jesus Christ,

From the realm of the prophetic, 2017 is a significant and anointed time for the Body of Christ! In spite of the many global challenges and personal issues that confront us, members of the body will find ourselves coming into a greater dimension of understanding and clarity as it relates to our life's assignment. Simultaneously, God will be glorifying the saints and exposing our true value. 2017 is the year for the people of God to DREAM AGAIN.

God is on schedule to abundantly bless the saints in 2017. A special anointing has come to the body of Christ to:

• ACCOMPANY us on our life's journey • GUIDE us through the waiting period • RELEASE us into our specific assignment • EQUIP us for our time of appointment • EMPOWER us to press beyond our crisis, chaos and challenges

Accepting that God has planned a productive and progressive future for all who trust Him and believe in His word, 2017 is not the year to be stagnant. While the threat of uncertainty and the looming darkness contest our hopes and dreams, it's time for the believers to DREAM AGAIN! This is an appointed time for the body of Christ to dream dreams that have never been dreamt. I prophetically declare that a new chapter is being birthed in our lives. As Isaiah 43:18 declares, "Behold I do a new thing, shall you not know it?" Now is the time to get into strategic Kingdom alignment and dream again! Amazed by His grace, Bishop Eddie L. Long

DECLARATIONS

As the glory of God's presence fills us and overtakes our individual and corporate destinies, we declare and decree that we:

• RESIST the spirit of weariness and discouragement • REMOVE ourselves from people who don't have a progressive Kingdom mindset • RETURN to the drawing board and revisit God's blueprints and plans for our lives • REVIVE our spirits by bringing ourselves into proper alignment with our Kingdom

purposes • REACTIVATE ourselves through constant and consistent prayer, fasting, sowing, serving,

and giving. 2017 is a time where the prophetic word is ready to be fulfilled. The season of running with the foot soldiers has ended. Now is the set time to run with horses and PURSUE, OVERTAKE, AND RECOVER ALL!

2017 is the Year of Victory! Living God’s Dream For Your Life

6 “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? 7 Is it not to share your

bread with the hungry, And that you bring to your house the poor who are cast out; When you see

the naked, that you cover him, And not hide yourself from your own flesh? 8 Then your light shall

break forth like the morning, Your healing shall spring forth speedily, And your righteousness shall

go before you; The glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard. 9 Then you shall call, and the Lord will

answer; You shall cry, and He will say, ‘Here I am.’“If you take away the yoke from your midst, The

pointing of the finger, and speaking wickedness,10 If you extend your soul to the hungry And satisfy

the afflicted soul, Then your light shall dawn in the darkness,And your darkness shall be as the

noonday. 11 The Lord will guide you continually,And satisfy your soul in drought, And strengthen

your bones; You shall be like a watered garden, And like a spring of water, whose waters do not

fail. 12 Those from among you Shall build the old waste places; You shall raise up the foundations of

many generations; And you shall be called the Repairer of the Breach, The Restorer of Streets to

Dwell In.” (Isaiah 58:6-12)

FROM VISION TO VICTORY

In this consecration, we go from Vision - gaining a greater dimension of understanding and clarity as it relates to our life's assignment - to Victory - a productive and progressive future as we trust God and believe in His Word. This is a special time set aside to seek the Lord. God promises to answer when we call Him. Ask the Lord to define and refine your understanding of the purpose for which you were created. Expect for your eyes to be opened to see what you have never seen before as the Holy Spirit gives fresh revelation. Give yourself permission to dream again! The combination of prayer and fasting can bring about transformation in you, revival in the church and reformation in the community. Prayer is the way we communicate with God to seek His face and His will. Fasting is an act of worship and honoring God. Biblical fasting is abstaining from physical food for a period of time for a spiritual purpose. However, the purpose of fasting is not to focus on food. It is about denying your flesh to feed your spirit. Jesus taught His disciples to fast and set fasting as an expected discipline for their spiritual growth and development (Matthew 6:16-18; Matthew 9:14-15; Matthew 17:21). There are many instances in the Bible when individuals and groups fasted and positioned themselves for extraordinary blessings. Fasting without prayer is just a diet. Prayer must be a priority as we consecrate ourselves unto the Lord. Prayer brings supernatural power to natural situations. Prayer invites God in to move us from vision to victory. Over these 21 days, you will experience a closer relationship with the Lord. You will receive greater vision, clarity of your purpose and focus for the future. You are positioned for victory. As a church family, we are being more centered in the will of God to receive more clarity of our mission and vision; and operate in strategic wisdom to continually accomplish our God-given assignment. FASTING INSTRUCTIONS This is a progressive fast. Each week, as we draw closer and closer to the Lord, the suggested choices of foods change. This is a 24-hour fast. You may eat or drink everything that is included at any time with no time restrictions. Guidelines for weeks one, two and three are below. If you have significant challenges as we move to the next level of fasting, try staying with the guidelines from the previous week or making adjustments but do not give up. If you are seasoned with fasting, feel free to maintain one type of fasting throughout the 21days. Those who have medical conditions should consult their physician prior to starting the fast and decide together what is feasible. If you are unable to fast from food for health reasons, you may surrender other activities that hinder your spiritual growth or distract you from fulfilling your purpose and replace that time with prayer and studying God’s Word.

JOURNALING “I will stand my watch and set myself on the rampart, and watch to see what He will say to me, And what I will answer when

I am corrected. Then the LORD answered me and said: Write the vision and make it plain on tablets, that he may run who reads it. For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for

it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.” (Habbakuk 2:1-3)

Every day, record what the Lord shows you about yourself, your future, and those for whom you pray. Write down what He shows you in the Word and how it applies to your life. ACCOUNTABILITY “Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, one will lift up his companion. But

woe to him who is alone when he falls, for he has no one to help him up.” (Ecclesiastes 4:9-10) Identify an accountability partner. Check-in with one another periodically to support and encourage each another during this consecration. CHURCH ATTENDANCE “Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the

more as you see the Day approaching.” (Hebrews 10:25) Make it a priority to attend church during these 21 days. Being around other believers will encourage you to keep going and being unified will strengthen us as a church family.

“For You are my hope, O Lord GOD; You are my trust from my youth.” (Psalm 71:5) Children and youth are encouraged to participate in the Corporate Fast by choosing with their parents an activity or type of food to surrender. Consider giving up desserts or sodas. Perhaps, for certain periods in the day the whole family can sacrifice television, social media, video games, secular music or using cell phones/texting (except for emergencies and contacting parents). Parents should use their discretion in adjusting the fast for their children in a manner which will be successful for them and not be perceived as a punishment. The activities or types of food sacrificed can be changed throughout the fast. Show your children the power of fasting by leading by example. Make it a family fast where your family not only gives up something together, but also increases some things together such as family conversations and activities, time reading and discussing Bible stories, or watching Biblically-based videos.
