Global Bridegroom Fast
|
Can the friends of the bridegroom mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them … then they will fast.
|
| — Matthew 9:15 |
In January 2002, the Word of the Lord came, saying, “I am raising up a global Bridegroom fast; ask Me to release one hundred million believers worldwide to come before Me in one accord for three days each month until I return.”
The Global Bridegroom Fast (GBF) is a monthly, three-day “global solemn assembly” of believers unified by the Holy Spirit in worship, prayer, and fasting. Focused on and sustained by experiencing the love of Jesus as the Bridegroom God (Matt. 9:15), this fast is a worldwide concert of prayer when believers unite to seek the Lord’s face—at the same time, with the same burdens, and in the same Spirit.
| Then King David said, "… I will surely buy it from you for a price; nor will I offer … to the LORD my God that which costs me nothing." |
| — 2 Samuel 24:24 |
