Restoration Tabernacle 2026 “Divine Adventure” Daniel Fast
A Call to 40 Days of Prayer and Fasting
February 18-April 4, 2026
Blessings in the precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ! As we approach Resurrection Sunday 2026, I invite you to join me in a sacred season of prayer and fasting. This is a holy opportunity to draw closer to the heart of God, to experience His renewing power, to hear His voice with greater clarity, and to welcome His divine work in every area of our lives. For 40 days, let us set our hearts before Him with humility and expectation, trusting that He will meet us in profound and life -changing ways. As you prepare for this journey, I encourage you to seek the Lord about what He is calling you to bring before Him during this season. Allow His Spirit to reveal the areas of your life where He wants to bring growth, healing, surrender, and transformation. May this be a time when the Lord deepens your faith and awakens new spiritual hunger within you. Our time of prayer and fasting will begin on Wednesday, February 18, 2026 at 9:00pm and will conclude on Saturday, April 4, 2026 at 9:00pm. To guide us each day, I have prepared a prayer and fasting devotional designed to encourage you, strengthen your focus, and help you engage with God in meaningful and intentional ways. As we enter this season together, let us commit ourselves to seeking the Lord with pure hearts, steadfast devotion, and unwavering faith. I believe that as we unite in prayer and fasting, God will move powerfully among us and accomplish great things in our lives.
May this time be an adventure marked by His presence, His direction, and His glory.
