Fasting Instructions for Children and Youth God gives us pastors according to His heart who will feed us with knowledge and understanding (Jeremiah 3:15). We must obey our pastors for they watch over our souls (Hebrews 13:17). Parents should teach and guide by their example the importance of following the leadership of our pastors. When Pastor Caldwell proclaims the fast, children and youth are capable of obeying and participating. Parents, please prayerfully consider including your children and youth in the Church Family Spiritual Fast. It will be a blessed experience for them, and it will begin to lay a foundation for their future. Your support and encouragement are recommended to maximize your child’s success. I. What is a Fast? The Hebrew word for fasting means “to cover the mouth.” Fasting has been a part of Christianity through the ages. It is a form of spiritual and scriptural sacrifice. Fasting does not change or impress God. Fasting changes us. Through fasting, Christians are empowered to discipline their daily relationship with the Lord. II. Why Should Children and Youth Fast? • To have a closer relationship with God our Father and Jesus Christ; • To become more sensitive and responsive to the Holy Spirit; • To present the opportunity for you to spend more time waiting on the Lord; and • To build your prayer life. As children and youth fast, they, too, will receive the benefits and blessings of obedience and fasting. III. How to Fast • Eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner. • Eat healthy vegetables, fruits, meats, breads, milk, and cereal. • Eat a healthy snack between meals such as fruit, vegetables, etc. • Drink WATER, 100% JUICE, and MILK as the only beverages. NO SWEETS, PIZZA, FRENCH FRIES, CHIPS, CANDY, CHEWING GUM, SOFT DRINKS, OR ANY OTHER JUNK FOODS! IV. What Are We Praying About During the Fast? Please help your child (ren) pray each prayer on the appropriate day as designated by the Prayer Topic Calendar. 7

Prayer Topic #1: A Prayer for Grace During the Extreme Heat in Houston Scripture Reading: Psalm 5:11, James 1:11 Scriptural Prayer: Our Father, thank You for being the most high and allowing us to live in your shelter where we will find rest in Your shadow. Thank You for Your shadow that is like a shield that covers us from the highest of heat and will not allow Your children to be burned by the flame of hatred. Thank You for being our refuge and place of safety, for You are God and we trust You. Righteous Father, we declare Your word of hope and restoration over excessively high temperatures and for people who cannot control their anger during hot times. We know that the generous will prosper and those who refresh others will themselves be refreshed. We trust that we will not be harmed by this heat physically or emotionally. Your word says that ‘we can rejoice, when we run into problems and trials, for we know that they help us develop endurance.” And this heat is a trial that we will triumph over and learn more than ever how to cleave to Your word. Holy Spirit, Your children need You to help us get through these hot months. Teach us to be patient and find cool places. We ask that you keep us from feeling the sting of this hot weather when it comes to our electric bills, heat stroke, and other heat-related injuries, people who get intensely angry in hot weather, people who do not have the means to cool their homes, people who have jobs that keep them in the heat, and the enemy who relishes the heat and enjoys the chaos that it causes. For as the deer longs for streams of water, so we long for You, O God, and thirst for You to bring your cooling rain. Merciful Father, forgive us when we do not read Your word and use it to bless each other. Your word says, “For where two or three gather together as My followers, I am there among them”. So, we are missing so many blessings when we do not gather and pray for each other, the elements, the world and so much more. Forgive us for forgetting that we can do everything through Christ who strengthens us. Help us to remain faithful and follow Your word by forgiving others who have wronged us. Help us to seek out people quickly that we are holding a grudge against so that we may offer swift forgiveness. Holy Spirit, help us not to yield to temptation but deliver us from the evil one. Great is the Lord! He is most worthy of praise! He is to be feared above all gods. The gods of other nations are mere idols, but the Lord made the heavens! Honor and majesty surround Him: strength and beauty fill His sanctuary. In Jesus name, Amen! Scripture References for the Written Text: Psalm 91:1-2, Proverbs 11:25, Romans 5:3, Psalm 42:1-2, Matthew 18:20, Philippians 4:13, Matthew 6:13, Psalm 96:4-6 10

Prayer Topic #2: A Prayer for Our Families Scripture Reading: Psalm 145:1-13, Deuteronomy 6:1-9 Scriptural Prayer: Awesome Father, our souls honor You! Thank You for creating families and for Your Word that instructs husbands and wives, parents and children how to treat each other. Thank You for surrounding our families with favor like a shield. Thank You for opening doors for us so that Your plans and purposes for us can be realized. Lord, You are great and Your power is absolute. Your understanding is beyond comprehension. We exalt You, our God and King, and praise Your Name forever and ever! Glorious Father, we confess that You are a sun and a shield for our families; You bestow favor and honor. No good thing will You withhold from those who do what is right. And as we approach You confidently for good things, we will keep on asking, and we will receive what we ask for. We will keep on seeking and we will find. We will keep on knocking, and the door will be opened to us. For Your promise is everyone who asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone who knocks, the door will be opened. By faith, we declare that our families will not forget to do good and to share with those in need, for these are the sacrifices that please You. The love of God will reign supreme in our homes and our families will obey Your Word. We will always be humble and gentle. We will be patient with each other, making allowance for each other’s faults because of Your love. Holy Spirit, we ask that You give our families one heart and put a new spirit in each member. Help us to understand through God’s Word His love for our families, His will for our success and His wisdom regarding family unity and responsibilities. Show our families how to trust God through the challenges and changes of life and how to support and show favor to each other. Encourage our parents and help us to make wise choices that lead to daily achievements. Bring comfort, peace and healing to those families that are mentally and physically divided and, when needed, guide us towards appropriate counseling. Help children to respect and obey our parents. Motivate families to balance schedules so that we may spend quality time together; give us creative ways to connect and have fun. Merciful Father, please forgive families for all acts of sinfulness. Forgive us when we allow responsibilities such as jobs, school and extracurricular activities to have greater priority over our families. Forgive us when we take Your blessings as well as our loved ones for granted. Forgive those who do not pray for our families consistently. Lord, forgive me for any sins that I may have committed. Holy Spirit, remind families of those we need to forgive and help us to be quick to forgive. As for me, bring to my remembrance those I need to forgive. Holy Spirit, help families not to yield to temptation but deliver us from the evil one. Sovereign Lord, You are King! You are robed in majesty and armed with strength. The world stands firm and cannot be shaken. Your throne has stood from time immemorial. You are from the everlasting past. In Jesus’ name, Amen. Scripture References for the Written Text: Psalm 5:12 (NKJV), Psalm 147:5, Psalm 145:1, Psalm 84:11, Matthew 7:7-8, Hebrews 13:16, Ephesians 4:2, Matthew 6:13, Psalm 93:1-2 11

Prayer Topic #3: A Prayer for God’s Favor Scripture Reading: Psalm 103:1-8, Isaiah 61 Scriptural Prayer: Our Father, we give thanks to You for You are faithful even when we have been faithless. You are the Most High God, the only true and living God. You are excellent in all of Your ways. The heavens are Your throne and the earth Your footstool. Lord, You are good and Your faithful love endures forever. You are the great I Am, the Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father and Prince of Peace. You are our Creator and Savior. We will continually sing praises to You and declare that You are the King over all of the earth! Righteous Father, we declare that favor surrounds us like a shield! We will stand on Your Word and speak Your truth. Your Word is a lamp to our feet and a light unto our path. Lord, it is Your will that we live life abundantly. Therefore, we confess that we will walk by faith and not by sight as we trust in Your precious promises. Lord, we trust and believe that no good thing will be kept from us as we walk uprightly before You. Lord, we expect You to put a wall of protection around us so that we will prosper in everything we do. Holy Spirit, please show us Your ways, teach us Your paths and lead us in Your truth. Help us to consistently demonstrate our gratitude to the Father for the abundant blessings in our lives and to always bring Him glory. Give us wisdom and vision so that our relationships bring honor to You. Strengthen us as we tell of Your favor to encourage our families and all those who are not seeking You. Lord, protect us from hurt and harm, fill our hearts with Your joy. Holy Spirit, forgive us for all acts of sinfulness including jealousy, rivalries, violence, injustice, hatred, oppression, greed, idolatry, pride, slander, lewd behaviors, selfish ambition, abuse of any type and division. Forgive those who choose not to trust in You. Forgive those who are Christians for not sharing Your Gospel with their family members, co-workers and others with whom they interact. Holy Spirit, remind us of those we need to forgive and help us to be quick to forgive. As for me, Holy Spirit, bring to my remembrance those I need to forgive. Holy Spirit, help us not to yield to temptation but deliver us from the evil one. Lord God Almighty, You are holy and righteous. You are great and deserving of praise. We love You and will bless Your Name forever. Yours is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Prayer Topic #4: A Declaration for Justice Scripture Reading: Psalm 118:1-9, Psalm 140 Scriptural Prayer: Eternal Father, we thank You for being the just Judge. Thank You for hearing us when we call to You for help for our nation. Thank You for moving on the hearts of Your people to establish peace, justice and righteousness in the earth. Lord, we will praise You with all of our hearts. Your love for us is so very great, we will give glory to Your Name forever! Lord, You have rescued us from the depths of death. Your unfailing love will last forever. Your faithfulness is as enduring as the heavens. Immortal Father, we command justice to run down like water and righteousness like a mighty stream within our judicial system in America. Your Word says that justice and righteousness are more acceptable to You than sacrifice. Righteousness and justice are the foundation of Your throne. We confess that justice and righteousness will prevail in our nation, homes, workplaces, churches, schools and communities. You are the Lord who loves all of humankind; You are no respecter of persons. Lord, we believe that You will raise us above the injustices of racism that our nation has witnessed lately. We will not discriminate against anyone because of their race, their sex, or their age. We will not pay back evil with more evil, but we will always do things in such a way that everyone can see that we are honorable. Holy Spirit, please help our nation to heal from the wounds that the instances of injustice have inflicted on the American people. Remind the members of the Body of Christ to not sin by letting anger control them. Grant each of us the desire and commitment to daily walk in Your justice and righteousness without prejudice or partiality. Deal with the hearts of those Christians who practice this ungodliness. Remind them to walk in Your Spirit and not in their flesh. Guide parents on how to talk with their children about this subject in a way that will not instill fear, anger, or hatred. Holy Spirit, I ask that You search my heart for areas of hidden discrimination or bias and remove it immediately from me. Abba Father, forgive us for any acts of racism, sexism, and ageism. Forgive our nation for its injustice, prejudice, and oppression, for loving power and things instead of people. Please forgive those persons who are presently practicing racism, sexism, and ageism. Father, forgive me for any sins that I may have committed. Holy Spirit, remind us all of those we need to forgive and help us to be quick to forgive. As for me, Holy Spirit, bring to my remembrance those I need to forgive. Holy Spirit, help us all not to yield to temptation but deliver us from the evil one. Triumphant King, You are greater than any other god. You do whatever You please throughout all heaven and earth, and on the seas and in their depths. You cause clouds to rise over the earth. You send lightning with the rain and release the winds from Your storehouses. Your Name, Lord, endures forever, Your fame is known to every generation. Yours, Lord, is the Kingdom, the power, and the glory, forever. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Prayer Topic #5: A Prayer for Physical Healing Scripture Reading: Psalm 145:3-21, James 5:13-16 Scriptural Prayer: Righteous Father, we thank You, for sending Your Word to heal us, and for snatching us from the power of death. Thank You, Jesus, for shedding Your blood so that people may be healed. Thank You, Holy Spirit, for empowering the Word to provide healing when we speak it. Father, we praise and honor Your Name. Your Name is Lord and we will rejoice before You. You have been our home through all generations. We praise You, Lord God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. Lord, what a variety of things You have made. In wisdom, You have made them all. The earth is full of Your creatures. Lord Jesus, You personally carried our sins in Your body on the cross so that we can be dead to sin and live for what is right. Therefore, by Your wounds, we are healed. According to the authority that You have given us to heal the sick, we command Your Word to be operative in our bodies. Lord, we command our cardiovascular, digestive, endocrine, exocrine, lymphatic, immune, muscular, skeletal, nervous, renal, urinary, reproductive, respiratory and sensory systems to operate perfectly. We command our red blood cells to carry the appropriate oxygen throughout our bodies and our white blood cells to form a protective shield against all sicknesses. Your Word will penetrate deep into our hearts and bodies. Holy Spirit, we ask You to strengthen those of us who are weak and increase power to those who have no might. Remind those of us who are battling with illnesses to confess Your Word daily; just as we would take prescribed medicine. Give medical practitioners wisdom to provide effective treatment. Remind us all to eat healthy foods, exercise and get the proper rest. Help those who are struggling with receiving help to accept the kindness of others. Holy Spirit, please help them to guard their hearts and minds from doubt and unbelief. Holy Spirit, please give us all comfort and help us to walk by faith. Loving Father, forgive us for all acts of sinfulness, including worry, fear and for walking in doubt and disobedience. Forgive those who do not diligently seek after You. Lord, forgive me for any sins I may have committed. Holy Spirit, remind us all of those we need to forgive and help us to forgive. As for me, Holy Spirit, bring to my remembrance those I need to forgive. Holy Spirit, help us all not to yield to temptation but deliver us from the evil one. Lord, You are greater than we can understand. Your years cannot be counted. You draw up the water vapor and distill it into rain. Only You know where light comes from and where darkness goes. You direct the movement of the stars, binding the cluster of the Pleiades and loosening the cords of Orion. Holy and triumphant is Your Name! In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Thank You for blessing us with Your perfect peace as we keep our thoughts fixed on You. We sing praises to You, our Father, and declare that You are the King over all of the earth! Wonderful Father, You are the Light and Salvation for all in our communities, so we will not be afraid. You are our fortress, protecting us from danger so we will not tremble. By faith, we declare that we will live peacefully and safely in our dwellings and that our homes will be places of rest and relaxation. We will be kindhearted neighbors, working together to maintain a peaceful community. Lord, we expect You to place a wall of protection around us, our homes and properties. When our enemies come against us like a flood, we are confident that You will raise up a standard against them. Lord, we trust and believe that no good thing will be withheld from us as we walk uprightly before You. Holy Spirit, help us to share Christ with our unsaved neighbors. Incline their hearts to seek You first and search Your Word for wisdom as we all live peaceably among one another. Impress upon us to extend our gifts and talents to community opportunities, such as nearby schools and businesses. Unify our communities and help us to stand against violence, crime and injustice. Remind us to watch out for our neighbors, especially the children and seniors; let Your Spirit of love permeate our communities. Holy Spirit, forgive our communities for all acts of sinfulness including gossiping, lying, fornication, adultery, idolatry, profanity, deception, drunkenness, gluttony, drug abuse, theft and all other sins. Forgive us for rebellion and selfishness. Lord, please help us to forgive any past mistakes and hurts caused by neighbors so that You can heal us. Remind the people of our communities of those they need to forgive and help them to forgive. As for me, Holy Spirit, bring to my remembrance those I need to forgive. Holy Spirit, help our communities not to yield to temptation but deliver them from the evil one. Eternal Lord, You are the blessed and Sovereign One; the King of kings, and the Lord of lords, who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no man can see. Yours is the Kingdom, the power and the glory forever and ever. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Prayer Topic #7: A Prayer of Salvation Scripture Reading: Psalm 99, Ephesians 2:1-10 Scriptural Prayer: Heavenly Father, we thank You for Your tender mercies and unfailing love. Thank You for providing a way for sinners to be reconciled back to You. Thank You for enlightening our hearts to say “yes” to You when You called us. Lord, You are very great and Your power is absolute. Your understanding is beyond comprehension. We come clapping our hands and shouting joyful praises to You, our God. Most High, You are awesome. You are the great King of all the earth. Our Father, it is Your desire that all people be saved and understand the truth. We confess that Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth and the Life. He is the only gate by which people are saved. We commit to sharing the Gospel with our unsaved family members, friends, co-workers and enemies. We will not be afraid or intimidated, but we will share the Good News of Jesus Christ with boldness, confidence and love. We declare that when our unsaved family members, friends, co-workers and enemies confess with their mouths, the Lord Jesus, and believe in their hearts that You raised Jesus from the dead, they will be saved. Father, we declare that they will know the truth, and the truth will set them free. Gracious Father, we cry out to You to clear the way so that Your Gospel may be preached in every city, state, country, and continent. Surround the unsaved with the counsel of the Godly so that they may be washed in the water of Your Word; stripped of the old sinful nature and all its wicked deeds, and put on their new nature so that they will be renewed as they learn to know their Creator and become like Him. Holy Spirit, we ask You to circumcise the hearts of those who are in a backslidden state. Like the prodigal child, help them to come to themselves and return to You, their first love. Remind them that nothing can ever separate them from God’s love; not death, life, angels, demons, fears for today or worries about tomorrow, not even the powers of hell can separate them from the Father’s love. Help us, the Body of Christ, to present the Gospel with compassion, hope, and patience. Precious Father, forgive the unsaved and backsliders for not acknowledging You or Your Son. Forgive them for disobedience, hatred, rebellion, idolatry, and rejection of Your Gospel. Please have mercy upon them and extend Your grace toward them. Forgive us, the Body of Christ, for not sharing Jesus and the Gospel with more people. Forgive us for being timid and reserved about sharing the Gospel. Lord, forgive me for any sins that I may have committed. Holy Spirit, remind the unsaved and backslider of those they need to forgive and help them to be quick to forgive. As for me, Holy Spirit, bring to my remembrance those I need to forgive. Holy Spirit, help the unsaved and backslider not to yield to temptation but deliver them from the evil one. Blessing and honor and glory and power belong to You, the One sitting on the throne and to the Lamb forever and ever. For Yours is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

We will praise You every day and forever. Lord You are great and most worthy of praise; no one can measure Your greatness.

We will choose not copy the behavior and customs of this world, but we will let You, Father, transform us into new people by changing the way we think. Then, we will learn to know Your will for our lives, which is good and pleasing and perfect. Lord, we decree that Your chosen fast will be operable in our lives through the Promise of Giving as we feed the hungry and help those in trouble. As we do this, our light will shine out from the darkness, and the darkness around us will be as bright as noon. Father, we will be diligent in prayer without ceasing during this time of fasting.

We confess that we will not be like those who steal, murder, commit adultery, lie, and bow to the gods of this world and then run into Your house declaring that we are safe, only to return to the same evil again. During this time of repentance, we will be honest with You and ourselves about the condition of our lives. We are a people who love You wholeheartedly and trust You with our lives. Holy Spirit, as You show us our sins this week, we will repent and turn away from them. As a Church Family, we choose to discipline our bodies and minds and bring them into subjection; so that our witness to other people is genuine and we will not later find ourselves disqualified. Holy Spirit, help us to overcome pride and any obstacles that keep us from growing in God. We know that a heart without God is deceitful above all things, and it is desperately wicked. So, please search our hearts and test our minds. Create in us a clean heart and renew in us a right spirit.

Holy Spirit, we thank You for bringing God’s Word to our remembrance which tells us to celebrate this special Feast each year from generation to generation. O God, You are our God; we earnestly search for You. Your unfailing love is better than life itself; how we praise You!

Lord, we will come before You joyfully declaring that this festival will be a happy time of celebration. For seven days, we will celebrate this festival to honor You, Lord, at the place You choose, for You have blessed us with bountiful harvests and have given us success in all our work. We declare that this festival will be a time of great joy for all. While we remember that You brought the children of Israel out of Egypt and had them live in temporary shelters, we will remember that Jesus Christ has become our permanent shelter. We anticipate Your glory “tabernacling” among us during this exciting feast. We are expecting your presence, anointing, healing, power, joy, peace, and love. Heavenly Father, we pray for Your provision of both the time and the resources to celebrate this festival in a way that will be pleasing to You. Grant us favor with our employers during the festival. Holy Spirit, bring to our minds the special gifts we should bring to the Lord on each of the seven days of the festival. Help us to be grateful for God’s bountiful provision of all that we need so we may be generous in our giving. Holy Father, when You brought Your people out of Egypt, they refused to obey and did not remember the miracles You had done for them. Instead, they became stubborn and appointed a leader to take them back to their slavery in Egypt! But You are a God of forgiveness, gracious and merciful, slow to become angry, and rich in unfailing love. You did not abandon them. In Your mercy, Father, forgive those of us for being slow or reluctant to be grateful for the many blessings You have bestowed upon us. Forgive those who are disobedient to Your Word and fail to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles with joy and gratitude. Lord, forgive me for any sins I may have committed.

Holy Spirit, help us all not to yield to temptation but deliver us from the evil one. Lord, You are King! Let the nations tremble! You sit on Your throne between the cherubim. Let the whole earth quake! You sit in majesty in Jerusalem, exalted above all the nations. Let them praise Your great and awesome Name. Your Name is holy! Mighty King, lover of justice, You have established fairness. You have acted with justice and righteousness throughout Israel. We exalt You, Lord our God! We bow low before Your feet, for You are holy! In Jesus’ name, Amen!

The Lulav & The Etrog During this fall harvest festival, we are giving thanks to God for meeting our needs and for being present with us. God often uses physical symbols to remind us of important spiritual concepts. One tradition associated with Sukkot is the making of a "Lulav" (LOO-lav) or bouquet of three branches. One, long-held interpretation of the three different "species" present in the bouquet is that the grouping reminds us of how our body is built to serve God. 1. The PALM ("Lulav" in Hebrew) reminds us of the backbone of a person. We are called to be "upright" in our lifestyle. (Psalm 11:7) 2. The MYRTLE corresponds to our eyes. We must develop spiritual eyes to see as God sees. (Matthew 7) 3. The WILLOW refers to our lips. We are to speak as God would have us speak and to learn to pray. (1 Peter 3:10) The Etrog is a lemon-like citrus fruit from the citron tree. During the Feast of Tabernacles, it is used as a visual symbol, along with the Lulav bouquet. The Etrog can represent the human heart. It is the place of understanding in wisdom within a person. Only God can give us a pure heart as we open up to His Word and to His love. During the Feast of Tabernacles, the Lulav and Etrog are used in prayer during the eight days of the festival. Please see the attachment below for instructions on how to pray using the Lulav and Etrog. HOW TO MAKE A LULAV: Go to a florist shop, Home Depot, Wal-Mart or any store that has a nursery, and purchase a palm frond (18-24"), a sprig of myrtle, and a sprig of willow (each 8-12"). Tie the non-leafy ends together with string or ribbon. Make sure the leaves are still free to "shake" at the top. Option: Take a nature walk. Find 3 different species of branching leaves (i.e., pine, oak, & sweet gum). Tie them together and use them as your Lulav. This is a great opportunity to spend time with the family. 28

Family/Group Celebration Activity: The Feast of Tabernacles is a celebration (a Holy Ghost party!) of God’s presence with us in the Person of Jesus Christ--our Emmanuel--and it is also a celebration of God’s provision for us, as we thank Him for the harvest of good food to eat. So, put on some upbeat, God-honoring music. As a family or group, take time to brighten your home with party decorations and seasonal fruits and vegetables! Decorating Suggestions: Put up colorful streamers; put out palm branches; put out a fruit bowl; put dried squash and corn on the mantel; make a lulav (LOO-lahv) and display it proudly in your home. Make “Feast of Tabernacles” posters, paintings, drawings, etc. with images of a house with Jesus living in it and/or pictures of God giving us food. 29
