The Bethel Church 21 Day’s Corporate Fast 
Consecrating For a Purpose 
November 4, 2024 - November 25, 2024

It has been my belief for many years that we live by the application of biblical principles and practical precepts that give governance to our lives. One of my most challenging quotes and beliefs that I try to live by and encourage others to live by say’s this, “Anything that you won’t do intentionally, will never happen accidentally.” Herein lies the reason for this vision step that we must challenge ourselves with as an Apostolic Ministry. Souls are not being won to Christ through the ministry of The Bethel Church. This is an absolute abomination to the Name of Christ for us to be a Church with the power, influence and anointing that we have and yet we are not winning souls. We are the Church on a hill that points to the sky, with a blinking light on top of the cross so that all who fly through the sky can see and avoid possible danger. We must extend our voice to the world beyond the walls of the physical structure, and resist being lackadaisical in our evangelical enthusiasm.

In order to break things in the natural we must break them in the spiritual. We must double down on our commitment to being true living epistle and devoted disciples to the work of ministry. As the Apostolic Overseer of The Bethel Church, I am challenging you to join me in a 21 day Liquid Fast to bring more depth to our spiritual devotion. Not only is the challenge going to be fasting, but there will be 21 days of intentional prayers designed to invoke the presence and  power of God

The Bethel Church 21-day liquid fast plan involves consuming only liquids, such as water, broths, fresh juices, smoothies, and herbal teas. This kind of fast can be physically challenging and may not be suitable for everyone, so it’s essential to consult a healthcare professional before starting. Below are the extensive details and a general outline:

Guidelines:
1.  Hydration: Drink plenty of water throughout the day (8–10 cups) to stay hydrated.
2.  Nutrition: Incorporate nutrient-dense liquids to maintain energy and support the body during the fast.
3.  Rest: Since calorie intake will be lower, it’s important to rest more than usual to avoid fatigue.
4.  Gradual Transition: Prepare your body before the fast by eating lighter meals for a few days leading up to it.

Day 1–7: Intro Phase
This phase helps your body adjust to liquid-only consumption.
• Morning:
• Start with warm water with lemon or herbal tea.
• Follow with a nutrient-rich smoothie (e.g., spinach, cucumber, avocado, chia seeds, almond milk).
• Mid-morning:
• Fresh vegetable juice (carrot, celery, beetroot, ginger, etc.).
• Lunch:
• Pureed vegetable soup (broth-based, blended smooth, such as sweet potato or tomato soup).
• Afternoon:
• Green juice (kale, spinach, cucumber, apple, lemon).
• Evening:
• Bone broth or vegetable broth (for electrolytes and minerals).
• Night:
• Chamomile or peppermint tea for relaxation.

Day 8–14: Detox Phase
During this phase, your body will enter a deeper detox state, and energy levels might dip.
• Morning:
• Start with warm lemon water or herbal tea.
• Follow with green juice (add ginger or turmeric for anti-inflammatory benefits).
• Mid-morning:
• Coconut water for hydration and electrolytes.
• Lunch:
• Blended vegetable soup (broccoli, zucchini, garlic, vegetable broth).
• Afternoon:
• Smoothie with protein powder, almond butter, and greens.
• Evening:
• Pureed butternut squash soup with spices (cumin, turmeric).
• Night:
• Herbal tea (ginger or dandelion root for liver detox).

Day 15–21: Deeper Cleansing Phase
This final phase is more focused on broths, water, and herbal teas to encourage deeper cleansing.
• Morning:
• Warm water with lemon or apple cider vinegar.
• Green juice with spirulina or chlorella for added nutrients.
• Mid-morning:
• Fresh coconut water or light vegetable broth.
• Lunch:
• Clear vegetable or bone broth (you may add blended veggies for thickness).
• Afternoon:
• Fresh juice (cucumber, celery, lemon, mint) or herbal tea.
• Evening:
• Light broth, possibly with miso or seaweed for extra minerals.
• Night:
• Chamomile or valerian root tea for relaxation.

Breaking the Fast (Post Day 21):
Breaking a liquid fast should be done gradually to avoid shocking the digestive system. Start by introducing soft foods like:
• Steamed vegetables or fruit.
• Smoothies.
• Small portions of whole grains like quinoa or brown rice.
Slowly reintroduce solid foods over the next 3–5 days, depending on how you feel.

Additional Tips:
• Supplements: Consider taking electrolytes or a multivitamin to ensure you’re getting essential nutrients.
• Rest: Make time for relaxation, prayer, meditation, or gentle activities like walking.
• Signs to Stop: If you feel extremely weak, dizzy, or experience other negative symptoms, it’s essential to stop the fast and consult a doctor.

   Remember that this fast is not to dictate or limit your liquids, but to serve as a source of direction to help you to get the best spiritual and physical benefits of the fast. You will be denying your flesh, therefore your warfare is going to be very intensive. We will engage in some scheduled spiritual activities to help in building up our spiritual man. God Bless You as you consider joining us in this time of consecration.
