This spiritual practice is designed to help break through spiritual and personal stagnation. The focus is on using fasting, prayer, Bible verses, symbolic actions (coconuts and candles), and water to cleanse and renew one’s spiritual state. Here’s how you can do it step by step:
Instructions for the 7 Days of Fasting and Prayer
Day 1 to Day 7
- Fasting and Prayer: Begin by fasting for the day. The fast can be from food or from anything that distracts you spiritually. It should be done with a sincere heart, focusing on seeking breakthroughs and deliverance from stagnation.
- Bible Verses: Each day, select a Bible verse that addresses stagnation, spiritual renewal, or breakthrough. This will serve as your spiritual focus. Here are 7 Bible verses to use, one for each day.
- Breaking the Coconut: On each day, take one coconut, crack it open, and break it inside a river or well water. This is symbolic of breaking the barriers, releasing old negative energies, and making room for spiritual renewal.
- Lighting the Candle: Light one white candle each day as you pray. The candle symbolizes divine light, guidance, and the burning away of stagnation.
- Reading a Bible Verse in Water: After cracking the coconut, read the Bible verse aloud while standing near the water, either the river or well water. Then place the verse inside the water as a symbolic act of “planting” your prayer into the water, asking God to cleanse and renew you spiritually.
- Prayer: At the end of each day, pray a short prayer against stagnation, asking for God’s divine intervention to break every spiritual barrier and bring forth growth and progress.
