YOM KIPPUR
Prayer + Fasting Focus
Leviticus 23:26–27 (NLT) Then the Lord said to Moses, “Be careful to celebrate the Day of Atonement on the tenth day of that same month—nine days after the Festival of Trumpets. You must observe it as an official day for holy assembly, a day to deny yourselves (fast) and present special gifts to the Lord.”
October 12, 2024, is Yom Kippur, otherwise known as The Day (Yom) of Atonement (Kippur). God directed Moses to set this day
aside to fast, pray, and place their hope in God. According to scripture, this was the most sacred day of the year. It was the only day anyone was allowed into the Temple’s Holy of Holies, the dwelling place of the Ark of the Covenant (Leviticus 16).

Join us for a day of prayer and fasting on October 12, 2024.
While there are many times of fasting in scripture, the Day of Atonement is the only specific day God ordained to fast. Our world needs a praying and fasting church. We are facing many spiritual giants. Jesus teaches us in Matthew 17:21 (NKJV) However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.”
Fasting is our opportunity to humble ourselves (fast), call on the Lord (pray), and see a move of God (revival). The promise is sure- 2 Chronicles 7:14 (NKJV) if My people who are called by My name will 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.
In 2024, Mosaic is living under the call of God “for such a time as this.” Esther 4:14 (NKJV) For if you remain completely silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father’s house will perish. Yet who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this?” This call for courage from Mordechai to Esther was fueled by fasting.
