Welcome to Castine’s fasting and prayer, 2023!  We have provided many resources to assist you in achieving spiritual growth as you fast and pray. Feel free to choose the resources that you think will be the most beneficial to you, here are some helpful guidelines.

1. Spiritual growth is not a formula or a program. How each person uses the resources will be unique to their own spiritual needs.
   
   
2. Start by picking up the Repentance Questions from the Connection Center. These will be helpful in searching for the sin in your life.
   
   
3. Sin is serious and inflicts great harm on your spiritual life. The sin scriptures resource will help understand what God says about sin.
   
   
4. Sin may create spiritual doubt and shame. Although God will use guilt to identify sin, He always leads to freedom, spiritual power, and joy. You may need to utilize the "Who I Am In Christ" Resource to fully understand who you are in Jesus and the power you have to overcome sin.
   
   
5. The 8 R’s To Walking in Freedom and the Prayer of Repentance resources are specifically designed to help you find freedom from demonic lies and return to God from sin.
   
   
6. If you want to find pride in your life, the Proud vs Broken /Humble People resource will be helpful.
   
   
7. Jesus said the Bible is truth (John 17:17; truth is how God designed the world to work). The Bible Scriptures resources provide many topical, Bible verses of truth to expose cultural lies.
   
   
8. If you enjoy podcasts, listen to our podcasts to learn more about all the topics covered during the
   Fast and Prayer.
   
   
9. The Playlist of Music provides a playlist of music for encouragement and spiritual strength.
   
   

We hope these resources will take you to the next level in your spiritual journey. We are all in this together with sermons, teachings and resources to release God’s power on Castine, to bring His increased light, through each of us to a dark world.
