Join us as we seek the Lord together as a church family in our annual prayer and fasting “SEEK WEEK” on October 21-23.

Prayer and fasting are integral parts of developing our relationship with Christ. It is a time when we quiet ourselves from the distractions around us so that we can hear from God more clearly. Fasting helps focus our prayer and give it resolve. It isn’t about starving or losing weight; it’s about a deeper connection with God.

Prayer Points 〰️

“if my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.” 
(2 Chronicles 7:14, ESV)

1. Revival and laborers for the harvest.

“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.” (Luke 10:2)

  • Pray for laborers to go out into every sector of society to reach the unreached and make disciples: the marketplace, education, government, military, the campus, etc.

2. Multiplying sites, services, and locations locally.

“Almost overnight, that which has been dry and arid is going to bloom. It is not going to stop at services. I already see the number before you’re done. ” (Prophetic word from Pastor Jim Laffoon)

“You are coming into a period of sustained growth that will not be a spurt, for you will grow and grow and grow. And this growth will present space challenges, sight challenges and you will have to be very creative says the Lord. Even to handle this growth for every step of faith you make in the area of space I will fill it.” (Prophetic word from Pastor Jim Laffoon)

  • Pray for serve teams, small group leaders, site planters and locations for new sites and churches.

3. Expansion beyond Hawaii: Nationally and globally.

“There’s another island this church is going to be called to. I dont’ believe it’s a Hawaiian Island…I don’t know Which Samoa it is, but one of the Samoas…You will be asked to pastor something there from this very church.” (Prophetic word from Pastor Jim Laffoon)

“…out of this house I will reshape parts of Japan…In fact this church has a unique destiny where Japan is concerned…” (Prophetic word from Pastor Jim Laffoon)

“…there’s going to be a door that opens into India in this church…” (Prophetic word from Pastor Jim Laffoon)

“What God is doing in this church is so extraordinary it will not only affect the Hawaiian Island region, you will find yourself going down into the West Coast of the United States, down into the northwest of the United States…you’ll see God open Arizona to you…you’ll see 10 churches in the continental United States.” (Prophetic word from Pastor Jim Laffoon)

  • Pray for God to open doors outside of Hawaii (Samoa, Japan, India, Arizona, the West Coast), and for leaders to be willing to go.

4. Next Generation

I am going to reap a harvest cut a suave even through junior highs you will see junior high students prophesying, moving in the gifts of the spirit multiple cells will begin to impact they will go into high schools they will go into community college later then to universities and my fire will begin to burn, says the Lord.” (Prophetic word from Pastor Jim Laffoon)

  • Pray for a revival among the next generation- for middle school, high school, and college students to impact their campuses.

5. Acquisition of land and properties for sites, churches, and another Church Planting Center.

“…the great church planting center you have here will be replicated on the mainland before you’re done.” (Prophetic word from Pastor Jim Laffoon)

“There will even be unique, says the Lord, acquisitions coming to you. Even unique properties seemingly coming out of nowhere, and even though it will be like a holy fire sale, it will stretch you.” (Prophetic word from Pastor Jim Laffoon)

  • Pray for opportunities to acquire land for sites and church campuses here in Hawaii and on the mainland.

Prayer & Fasting Guidelines

  • Jesus fasted.

    “Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. And after fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry.”(Matthew 4:1–2 ESV)

    “And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit to Galilee, and a report about him went out through all the surrounding country.” (Luke 4:14 ESV)

    Jesus knew he was going to need spiritual strength to fulfill his purposes. Fasting makes us spiritually strong and prepares us to do God’s work.

    Fasting is an act of humility and consecration.

    “Then I proclaimed a fast there, at the river Ahava, that we might humble ourselves before our God, to seek from him a safe journey for ourselves, our children, and all our goods.” (Ezra 8:21 ESV)

    As we humble ourselves through prayer and fasting, we receive God’s answers to our prayers.

    Fasting helps us become sensitive to the Holy Spirit.

    “While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, “Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.” (Acts 13:2 ESV)

    When we deny ourselves of natural cravings and worldly distractions, we become more sensitive to God’s voice. Then we are able to better focus on God and submit to His will.

    Fasting brings revival.

    “And your ancient ruins shall be rebuilt;
    you shall raise up the foundations of many generations;
    you shall be called the repairer of the breach,
    the restorer of streets to dwell in.” (Isaiah 58:12 ESV)

    Throughout history, God has brought revival and delivered nations from destruction in response to prayer and fasting. Fasting helps us prevail in prayer and intercession.

    Fasting is healthy.

    Fasting cleanses your digestive system from toxins. Doctors consider fasting a cure for certain allergies and diseases. The discipline of fasting helps break unhealthy addictions in our lives.

  • How should I prepare for a fast? The day before your fast, eat smaller meals and snacks every three hours. To increase your body’s energy levels, eat extra complex carbohydrates(bread, pasta, or rice) during these meals, along with low-fat proteins(low-fat cheese, yogurt, or turkey).

  • A juice fast is recommended for this Seek Week. Avoid citric juices. Drink soft juices like unsweetened apple, apple cranberry, or white grape. Have about 12 ounces of juice for your regular meal times and six ounces every two hours between meals. Drink 2-3 quarts of water spread evenly throughout the day. Avoid caffeinated beverages and strenuous exercise.

  • “Then Joshua said to the people, 'Consecrate yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will do wonders among you.'“ (Joshua 3:5 ESV)

    Pray—Spend time reading the Bible before the fast. Ask the Holy Spirit for guidance in your prayers. Write down your faith goals and specific prayer requests for your family, friends, church, and nation.

    Commit—Pray about the kind of fast you will undertake and commit to it ahead of time. Ask God for grace to help you follow through with your decisions.

    Act—Start eating smaller portions a few days before the fast. Avoid food high in sugar and fat. Plan to limit physical and social activities for the week of the fast. Ask someone in your group to be your prayer partner throughout the fast.

    NOTE: Consult a physician, especially if you are pregnant, nursing, or taking medication. If your situation does not allow you to do a full fast, determine what will work best for you.

  • “[Jesus] answered, It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’” (Matthew 4:4 ESV)

    Focus—Set aside time to work through the devotionals. Be ready to respond to God’s Word and the leading of the Holy Spirit.

    Pray—Join at least one of our prayer pockets. Intercede for your family, church, pastors, nation, campuses, and missions throughout the week.

    Replenish—During mealtime, read the Bible and pray. Drink plenty of water and rest as much as you can. Be ready for temporary bouts of physical weakness and mental annoyances like impatience and irritability.

  • “And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything according to his will he hears us. And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of him.” (1 John 5:14–15 ESV)

    Eat—Reintroduce solid food gradually. Your body will need time to adjust to a normal diet. Start with fruits, juices, and salad, then add more vegetables. Eat small portions throughout the day.

    Pray—Don’t stop praying! Trust God’s faithfulness and timing. Carry your newfound passion for God throughout the year. Be in faith for God to answer your prayers.
