This is a one week fast for 2025. The fast begins on January 6 – 12, 2025.
Here’s how this will work.
- When you sign up you will receive a welcome email, please check your spam folder to be sure you receive all the emails.
- The Fast begins on January 6 – 12th. This will give you the time you need to gather the items for the fast.
- During the fast, every day you will receive the email for that day which will have a prayer focus and scripture meditation.
- Each day will be different, and the prayer and scriptures need to be done in the order you receive them for greater results. We also give you the opportunity to submit your dreams to us for interpretation. God speaks to us so much through dreams and there are times when we need help knowing exactly what He is saying.
- By the end of the fast you should notice:
- Clarity
- A sense of freedom and peace in your mind, body, spirit and soul. It is a complete detox.
- Direction on how to move forward in 2025, not from us but from God since the whole purpose of the fast is to get you more focused on Him.
- And the best part, answered prayers! You will learn some prayer strategies on how to get answers and this will result in massive breakthroughs to your prayers.
- Cost: Being willing and obedient to follow what the Lord will reveal to you during this process. Showing up every day to do the exercise and read the Bible verses. Shutting off the social media, TV and any other outlets that will bring the evening news, fear or distraction into your atmosphere. This one week break from the media will allow you to hear clearly. Other than that, it’s free.

Blessings!
I just realized the year’s coming to an end and I haven’t submitted my testimony yet. God has been Faithful! Showing up and showing out! I believe these answers to prayer are as a result of the January 2024 fast. Most of the prayer requests on my list have been answered. Here are some of the answers:
Healing from cancer: Someone I was praying for had cancer at the time of the fast. I am pleased to report that he is now healed! His brother also had cancer, I think he’s also healing. I am yet to get a definitive report regarding him, but I am praising God in advance for that healing! Hallelujah! Praise Jehovah Rapha!
Employment for others: At work again, some of our casual staff who had worked with us for 10 years, finally got a one-year contract offer in February 2024, which meant higher salaries and benefits. They were almost being sent home and their positions were about to be offered to others much younger than them, but God! God intervened mightily! Praise Jehovah Jireh!
Employment for my step-sister: She finally landed a one-year contract with benefits in February 2024. Praise Jehovah Jireh!
Promotion and victory over stagnation: At work, on 22nd Iyyar, 5784, my colleagues and I received a promotion after 13 years of stagnation! Praise the Almighty God for forward movement and progress!
Open door/ Employment for me: A door that I had been trying to enter in 2023 finally opened. I finally got a remote job in addition to my regular job. I had given up on this and it wasn’t even on my prayer list, but God quickened me to start looking for remote jobs on 23rd Iyyar, 5784, as I was spending time with Him. I started applying and got numerous rejections. I landed it on 23rd Av, 5784, after almost 3 months of applying and almost giving up
I believe this job opportunity is also a result of praying for others to get employment. I had over 29 people I was believing in God for employment during the fast. Praise Jehovah Jireh!
Divine direction: I had been asking God for direction regarding something since the 2023 fast, and I finally got the answer when I least expected it while spending time with God on 18th Iyyar 5784. Praise Jehovah Raab!
Intimacy with God: Now it hasn’t been all rosy here, I have been trying to spend time with God and hear from him, then He went silent for a time, then now I can hear from Him. But I can say for sure, that my relationship with Him is certainly growing.
I thank God for His word in Revelation 12:11; “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.”
May God be glorified through my testimony!
Shalom!
I’ve benefited allot from this learned of JOY that the world needs joy and the verse that people should listen to most are not there just about the Y And I am Grateful to be apart of such cause.Without Jesus Christ I’m Dead to Sin because parts of the world they believe Your Bored without sin I feel as tho I should do this everyday
This was a really great fast for me. I started receiving answers to some of my prayer requests on Day 1.
I have been fasting with this ministry since 2021 and my life has never been the same. I have experienced so much growth, healing and deliverance. And the weekly prophetic words really do help.
I encourage everyone to join the annual fasts, sign up to the weekly newsletter and support this ministry through prayers and donations.
I’m not quite sure how I stumbled upon this ministry. But I must say that I am very glad I did. For almost a year I was going through something where I thought I was going to lose my mind (spiritual warfare). Although I prayed and dealt with it the best I could. Participating in this fasting and teaching not only help bring me closer to my husband but to God as well. And to that I am extremely grateful. We’ve started learning more about how to develop our characters and we’ve also started studying the bible. The bible verses on this website also helped with my purpose to share scriptures to the world on my Facebook, Instagram and Linkedin accounts. I appreciate this fasting and look forward to the future ones. God Bless
I would like to thank missionaries of prayer for their dedicated service to reach the world, and for the way they have shared in making everyone inclusive in the 7 ay fast, I have been doing the fast for the past three years or more, since I found missionaries of prayer. I am blessed to be a part of this great fast. I will like to add that when I got the olive oil from amazon, a day later it fell and broke as I was about to use it, even when cleaning up the spill from the floor, a piece of the glass cut my thumb, I stood there and said devil you lost again and proceeded to pray. I will not be discouraged no matter what? I will forever walk in his will and my desire is to serve him and walk in obedience, I have placed my request before God who is my source and I wait to hear from him, Bless your ministry and continue the good work, I will be donating to your ministry. Thank you.
Nicole, Thank you and Praise God for your “Missionaries of Prayer” ministry. In my 3rd year of participating in the January Fast, this 2024 Fast was especially meaningful and impactful for me. Your visions, prophecies, scripture selections, and prayers during the Fast made me deeply reflect on my Christian journey. You have such a wonderful way and perception on guiding us in growing our spiritual awareness and wisdom. You prepare us well on what to expect through your detailed process—from writing down our spiritual goals and personal prayers for 2024 before the Fast, the daily scriptures and accompanying exercises, daily prayers and communion along with beautiful music offered to facilitate our meditations. At the end of 7 days, I felt so at Peace and Cleansed-ready to go where God is leading me.
In the past three years, I had overcome a bacterial infection that came on suddenly and almost took my life. During emergency surgery, I coded and was clinically dead for 3 minutes. <> Waking back up in the hospital, the surgeon told me it was close but I pulled through the surgery well. I was so grateful to have a second chance at life again. I knew then my illness had been exacerbated by a series of events that eventually led to the loss of my marriage, my home, my family, and my career. I never lost faith during this heartbreaking ordeal. However, I leaned heavily on my covenant prayer partner who introduced me to your ministry, my church family, my extended family to get me through this painful and sinful period of my life. Looking back, I see the hand of God in placing people, experiences, and opportunities in my life to help others. Now, I have finally regained stability in my life, my family, and good health—thanks be to God. Thanks again for all you do and have done for us. Bringing us closer to God, Jesus and Holy Spirit. Lastly, thanks for taping the final Fast wrap-up, so lovely and inspiring hearing all the prayers and joining others in celebration. I feel so blessed and honored.
I must say that before the fast I was burdened and flustered due to ministry. I was so excited about the fast! I knew something good was going to happen internally during the fast.
So yes! I am ready for my rainbow!
I have knew felt freedom in the Lord as I do right now! When Nicole described the chair all I could do was laugh because the day before the live meeting, Holy Spirit gave me permission to laugh, come sit with him and watch cartoons! He said to come as a little child and to come to Him like that always.
That was my true release! Free to worship, Free to laugh, Free to dance! Free Free Free!
YES, I am ready for my rainbow and be fulfilled.
I enjoyed the fast sooo much i want to go back from day 1 and continue praying for my list. I know i will be fulfilled and ready for my rainbow . I will keep you posted.
God bless you All!!!
2024 FAST TESTIMONY
I love gardening and was always in the garden until 2014 when I had a hysterectomy and my love for gardening took a dive.
The last 3 years I just found it strange that there was no gardener available and the one that I had used just never returned (he had done an excellent job)
So I had asked my friend over a birthday lunch in 2023 if I could use her gardener and she said that he kept breaking the machinery (weed eater etc) and her husband decided on a garden service instead.
Over the last 2 years I had nonchalantly asked God to send a gardener maybe 2/3 times.
On the first day of the fast around midday, a friend of mine shared a post from her community chat group of a Gardner who is looking for more customers.His name is Jacob, he is a landscaper, builder and painter …
About 10 mins after seeing the post I remembered asking God to send me a gardener… I became pleasantly surprised and emotional because I realized that this wasn’t a request on my prayer list for the fast, that even on our not so important things God is Listening… he hears everything in our mind and hearts –
(Isaiah 60:22)
He Is a God of More Than!
I just Magnify and give praise to Yeshua
God is faithful. The Almighty has shown me the obstacles that have kept me from growing in Christ During this fasting and pray I’ve released alot of anger frustration in my life Thank you Lord for your mercy and grace amen
Wow, do I have a testimony!
I attempted the Daniel fast twice before. The first time I made it to 5 days. The second time was only 3 days. I was disheartened. When I received the email to attempt it again in 2024, I was trepidatious. If I was going to do it, I wanted to draw closer to God and receive direction for 2024. I did not want to fail at it again.
Before I go into the breakthroughs that happened on the fast, I need to give you a bit of background. In early 2021, my wife passed away. In 2023, I was romance-scammed online and lost most of my savings. Which is very unlike me falling for it as I work in law enforcement. Then in the midst of this, I resigned my position with a negotiated 5 month pay and benefits, because of a toxic chief. The VP of HR is also a Christian and really looked out for me, Praise God! I also moved back to the Bay Area, where I thought God was leading me. I took a few months off and visited family to realign with God and refresh. Also, as a side note, I had been searching for my calling and purpose for several years with no clear direction. God had given me dreams and visions when I was about 10 years old that would come to fruition in my late forties (I am 49 now). So, I had an idea of what God wanted me to do but not much else.
Now, the fast, what can I say except Wow!! I had a theoretical idea of what could happen on a fast, but was not prepared for what actually happened. I finished the fast and did the detox with little to no issues. Sure, I was hungry, but I turned my hunger into remembering why I was sacrificing in the first place. Almost every time I prayed, they were answered in a manner of minutes. I received personal intimate direction from the Lord several times a day. My worship sessions were taken up to a whole new level. I would give my Mom daily updates and she was amazed at how much was happening on a daily basis. Praise God!
God revealed His plan for me to be realized in 2024 and I could not believe it. I finally had my answer through God’s perfect timing. He said He has been keeping me in the wilderness, hidden, for the right time for me to step into my calling because the stakes are high. He said the false accusations and trials I have suffered were to prepare me for what lies ahead. He said the scam happened so I could learn to defend myself against deception. He said I had one last thing to overcome to step into what He has for me. I have a had a demonic stronghold in lust since I was a young kid. While there are times throughout my life it has been better, I have never overcome this struggle. I have been celibate since my wife passed away, but there are two kinds of lust. Lust of the eyes and lust of the flesh. This really hit home when we covered the overcoming crowns. I know I have the overcoming crown for forgiveness, because I now am able to forgive almost instantaneously, and I have taken it up to another level and blessing those who are trying to harm me. However, there was no overcoming crown for lust, yet.
I prayed for deliverance all week and when we had the worship/prayer session on day 7, I saw the stronghold destroyed in the spiritual realm, Praise God!! I could also sense God’s immense pleasure. Now, I am no stranger to the enemy’s tactics or spiritual warfare, so I understand this a fresh wound and the enemy is going to pick at it the first chance they get and God has called me to life of purity and righteousness. So, I felt led to join Celebrate Recovery at my church, so I could hold myself accountable until I receive the overcoming crown.
This testimony are just the highlights of God’s love, power, and grace. There were many more wonderful things that happened this last week to include them here. I hope my testimony inspires you to a closer relationship with God.
Yes, yes, oooh yes, l am ready for my rainbow.Thank you Jesus. L was ready for this fast and l enjoyed myself to the end. Day 4 was beautiful. Thank you for sharing. L decide to pray for people in the prayer request list. In the evening while praying for the requests, l was inspired to pray all in the fast. While praying l got this message.
“” They are mine, they have come to me” and l was taken to the Feeding of the five thousand in the bible. They came with all situations to Jesus but when they left, there were different. L thank God for everything he has done for us all in this fast.
Day 7,l struggled to connect to the zoom call. L decided to take my communion and anoint myself and began praying in tongues. When l finally connected l could feel the anointing. Thank you for the powerful prayers. The room l was in was just full of the presences of God. L was praying in tongues and felt this power come on me. The experience came more when l was praying. L jus felt like l was given fresh anointing, so much power withing me. It was a beautiful experience and it took me time to be normal and come down on earth. Sunday was so different after then. It was as if am in a different world and l glorify God for the drop of oil and the lightening bolts.. We are His, and because we had come to Him, He gave us what was important for 2024.l exalt Him.Who else can do this for us except Abba Father.
Thank you MOP. God bless you all.
L am grateful for all the teachings, and being part of this fast. Thank you King of Kings in Jesus name.
Shalom!!!
I really appreciate thy Lord’s doing in this year fast and This ministry.. My experience is awesome, summary of my fast experience and also testimony on 6th Saturday before the fast i was distracted during my devotional morning prayer but I’ve this urge to pray on which I didn’t continue. That Saturday was so peaceful but minutes before 3pm the urge to pray came again because i was busy making list for the fast. I left the making my fast and something else took my attention till past 7pm… The voice said bath your son and make him to sleep, I carried him and feed and put water for his bathe immediately i left him in the room to collect my phone in the sitting room he followed me,i was still pressing my phone to send a message on youtube,the voice said this boy playing is feeling sleepy i just looked at him and was writing on my phone. Like a flash my son failed down,i thought is just ordinary fall before i know he is already in a pull of blood, i shouted “thy Blood of Jesus”I carried him to the bathe room to control the bleeding ive already soaked in blood. I was still pleading the blood of Jesus Christ, over him,and i asked for thy Lord’s mercy and forgivenss for negligleting what i ought to do, thy Lord came through for me and had Mercy on me and opened my nose to perceive this offensive foul odour in between my sitting room and dinning room… I work in the hospital but this foul odour was horrible. While was still praying Thy Lord so kind i controlled the bleeding that night, and I asked thy Lord to help me on what to apply on the wound,since is already late and i dont have any medication in my house. He equally open my eyes and showed me that the little medications and ointment i had HE will work miraculously. Even around 3am when my boy wake up and was restless, asked thy Holy Spirit to take over him and please heal him so that even if the doctors says there’s a broken skull let there be an evidence the hand writing of Almighty is seen all round my son. Thy Lord heard me, who are mine thy Lord in mindful of me… I give Him all the praise,adoration, hallelujah to thy most high God, Hosanna to one who sits on throne,honour and glory forever and ever. Amen… I learn the that partial obedient is total disobedience…
Yes Nicole, I am very much ready my rainbow in 2024.
I am so grateful to God for all He has accomplished in my since He placed mein this family of His.
Sunday I had to leave for church service just after 30 minutes of the zoom call.
But my fasting was one of practicals. I had gone away from home specifically for this fast with another sister of mine in the Lord.
To our suprise both when we arrived in the place of retreat the rooms where one can be alone with the Lord were not available, and they had mentioned it in our communication with them as we were booking but we both missed it.
So we had to settle for the one available and it rained so heavy that we had to be indoors. We both surrendered and opened ourselves to His flow.
The Lord opened my eyes to see that she wounded, the Lord granted me the grace to help her see it too.
I ended up ministering to this precious woman of God, who have been wounded in her journey with the Lord.
So we were indoors day 1,2&3 and were receiving the email in the evening.
Day 4 the rain cleared and the email came through in the morning, and boom ! my eyes were opened to see that this is my crown the Lord was confirming that He has healed me from my own wounds and now it’s time to arise and release the Balm of Gilead to others .
This is so powerful, there is a lot to glean there.
Thankyou so very much
Blessings in abundance
Hey Nichole,
Yes!
I am ready for the rainbow year, glory to GOD!
Each year of fasting is always magnificent; I was one of the many that got up on Sunday morning and sat in the waiting room for over an hour for the meeting to begin, ( I couldn’t wait 😁) I didn’t want to be left behind either.
So I was on for the entire time but got bumped off just when you begin to speak thus saith the LORD, but could I rejoin?
I believe that was the moment the Holy Spirit was in high movement, but I felt a peace in spite of; now, before the call got disconnected I was also sitting in an Adirondack chair also; (when I saw you wrote the name of the chair I thought to myself, what chair has such name?) amazingly the LORD allowed one of my friends to travel over three hours to my parish, paid my reservation in an hotel, so I could sit in an Adirondack chair on sunday morning lol…
So while prayers where going up I saw my full name written in green, the green looks shocking color; it dawned on me that the LORD is giving me access or go ahead in this rainbow year and I am so excited woot woot.
Thank you MOP for creating opportunity for us to come together through fasting and prayer annually and to draw closer to the Lord, dedicating ourselves to Him at the beginning of the year. May the Lord bless you.
I was in awe to read (on 17th) that the day before the end of fast prayer gathering
(Zoom prayer call) you saw us all being anointed- each head with a drop of oil. I would like to share my testimony that during the Zoom prayer meeting I heard “ There IS an oil over flow, gather all the jars you can get because there will be too much oil flowing.”
In my spirit I sensed “plurality”- that this message was not only for me, but for all who were connected to the live call (Zoom) and those who would connect post the live call through the recording.
I need to acknowledge that I do hear from the Lord and confess that I always seek confirmation before I give the word because I need to ascertain that my over active brain is not playing tricks on me. In this case, I got two confirmations, yours being the second (Please pray for me in this regard because I am aware that some given words are time sensitive & I do not wish to be a stumbling block in God’s work).
May the Lord replenish us all according to His will and abundance in 2024. May our cups run over. We give glory and praise to our God, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, for His grace is sufficient for us!
