The Bible declares in Proverbs 18:10 that “The name of the Lord is a strong tower; The righteous runs into it and is safe.”
Let’s get the New Year started off right by seeking God’s blessing, strength, and wisdom for 2024.
Join the Prayer Warriors Ministry for a 21-Day Prayer Consecration starting January 1st where we will focus on Praying the Names of God.

How to Participate:
- Follow along with the devotional reading and scriptures in the digital guide to inform your prayers.
- Consecrate by fasting (see options below) and/or giving up a treasured hobby, favorite food, or other activity.
Guiding Scripture References for a Fast (not an exhaustive list):
- Daniel fasted before he received a vision (Daniel 9:3; 10:2-3).
- In Acts, church leaders fasted to know God's purpose and direction in ministry (Acts 13:2-3, 14:23).
- Jesus fasted before he began his ministry (Matthew 4:2; Luke 4:1-2).
Fasting Options:
As you follow along with us in prayer, you can also participate in the 21-Day Prayer Consecration by doing one or more of the following:
- Daniel Fast - Eat no meat, no sweets, and no bread. Drink water or pure fruit juice. Eat fruits and vegetables.
- Sacrificial Fast - This is a great option if you don’t have experience fasting from food or have health issues that prevent you from fasting from food. This fast involves giving up things like television, social media, unnecessary spending, or hobbies.
- Partial Fast - A partial fast is refraining from food during a certain window of time, for example from 6:00 am to 3:00 pm or from sunup to sundown.
Please note: if you are unable to fast for any reason, you are still invited to pray with us daily!
Make for a Successful Time of Consecration
- Pray about your fast - Ask God what you should give up during the time of consecration.
- Plan to pray - Identify a specific time each day that will be committed to prayer over and above your regular time of devotion then set a reminder in your phone or calendar app.
- Stay plugged in - Join us each week for the Wednesday Evening Prayer Call (check your Allen Temple Email for dial-in information) to get strength and inspiration for the journey.
- Get a partner - Buddy up with a friend who will hold you accountable and commit to the 21 days with you.
- Go with God - If you feel led to pray about something different than the daily prompt, do it!
- Keep going – We’ve got a habit started…let’s keep going! After Day 21, we’ve included some daily scripture readings that you can use to begin your time of devotion and prayer through the end of January.
