2 Dear Northstar Family, As we run into 2019, my heart is overflowing with the joy and excitement of a new season of life and ministry here at Northstar! I am convinced in my spirit that this will be our best year yet for the Kingdom of God in our city. Our spiritual DNA runs deep with the power of corporate prayer. We have seen the Father do so many supernatural things in our history as a direct result of prayer and this year will be no different. In light of all this, I am calling us to a 21-day season of seeking the Lord with all our hearts in prayer and fasting. Fasting is denying yourself of something physical in order to draw nearer to God. So, from Monday, January 7 to Sunday, January 27 we will all be walking together in an intentional journey to hear from the heart of God. I hope that you will use this guide as a tool during this spiritual journey. Our desire is to shut some things off in our lives and set some consistent time each day to clearly hear from God, and in the process establish some very specific life, family, and ministry goals for the new year. So just remember, what we remove from our lives during these 21 days is not near as important as what we replace them with; the power and presence of the Lord. I m so excited to see how the Lord honors his word and our time with Him in the days just ahead! Blessings- Pastor Scott

3 * Special thanks to Church of the Highlands for highlighting the different types of fasts. For additional resources on fasting, please visit

4 DURING THE NEXT 21 DAYS, I AM PRAYING SPECIFICALLY FOR THE FOLLOWING: PRAYER DATE ANSWERED DO YOU HAVE A WORD, VERSE, OR THEME THAT YOU BELIEVE GOD IS CALLING YOU TO CLAIM AND PURSUE IN 2019? Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you declares the Lord. Jeremiah 29:12-14 Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know. Jeremiah 33:3

5 WEEK 1: Day 1 SEEK GOD FIRST Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need. Matthew 6:33 What are specific things you can do over the next 21 days to intentionally seek God first? Day 2 MY HEART Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from your presence, and take not your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and uphold me with a willing spirit." Psalm 51:10-12 Day 3 THE ARMOR OF GOD Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints. Ephesians 6:11-18 Day 4 MARRIAGE AND FAMILY Be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love. Ephesians 4:2-3 Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers a multitude of sins. 1 Peter 4:8 What can you do this week to demonstrate love to your spouse or someone in your family? Day 5 OUR CITY & OUR NATION But seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile. Pray to the LORD for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper. Jeremiah 29:7

6 Day 6 NORTHSTAR MISSION Let your light so shine among men that they may see your good deeds and give glory to your Father in heaven. Matthew 5:16 Northstar s mission statement reads, We exist to bring glory to God by leading people to become fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ. Pray that we would be a church that engages our neighbors, our nation, and our world for the sole purpose of leading people to become followers of Jesus Christ. Day 7 SUNDAY GATHERINGS And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near." Hebrews 10:24-25 WEEK 2: Day 8 A HEART FOR THE LOST And Jesus came and said to them, All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age. Matthew 28:18-20 Pray of opportunities to engage in gospel conversations. Day 9 NS KIDS I will open my mouth with a parable; I will utter hidden things, things from of old, things we have heard and known, things our ancestors have told us. We will not hide them from their descendants; we will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the Lord, his power, and the wonders he has done. Day 10 NS STUDENTS Don t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith and in purity." 1 Timothy 4:12 Day 11 OTHER CHRISTIAN CHURCHES ACCOSS OUR CITY

7 May they all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me. The glory that you have given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one. John 17:21-22 Day 12 A HEART FOR MISSIONS "And this gospel of the kingdom will be proclaimed throughout the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come. Matthew 24:14 Ask God how you can step out of your comfort zone to pursue and support biblical missions. Day 13 OUR PASTORS AND LEADERS So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up. Ephesians 4:11-12 Day 14 LIFE GROUPS & D GROUPS "And they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers. And awe came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were being done through the apostles. And all who believed were together and had all things in common. And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need. And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts, praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved. Acts 2:42-47 Pray that God would allow our life groups and D-groups at Northstar to be places of deep, meaningful connection with other believers. Pray that these groups would continue growing deeper in love for each other and deeper in their devotion to God. Pray that God would use these groups to minister to our neighborhoods and community in a way that points people toward Jesus. WEEK 3: Day 15 SUPERNATUAL HEALING For nothing will be impossible with God. Luke 1:37 Day 16 FINANCIAL PROVISION And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19

8 Day 17 OUR CALING IN THE WORKPLACE May the favor of the Lord our God rest on us; establish the work of our hands for us yes, establish the work of our hands. Psalm 90:17 Day 18 PERSONAL FREEDOM Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 2 Corinthians 3:17 Day 19 WISDOM If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. James 1:5 Day 20 VISION If people can t see what God is doing, they stumble all over themselves; But when they attend to what he reveals, they are most blessed. Proverbs 29:18 Day 21 MORE WORKERS Then he said to his disciples, The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest. Matthew 9:37-38 REFLECTIONS OF MY 21 DAY PRAYER & FASTING JOURNEY What has been the most meaningful or challenging prayer point for me? What prayers has God already answered? What am I still believing God for? As a result of this prayer and fasting journey, what is God asking me to change or do next?
