Pastor Claude calls the church to begin the new year with consecration(dedication, devotion, commitment) through prayer and fasting, moving beyond resolutions and religious performance into true dependence on the Holy Spirit. Rooted in Joshua 3:5, this message reminds listeners that while God brings the victory, believers prepare their hearts by living connected to Christ. Through the invitation to a three-week Daniel Fast, Pastor Claude emphasizes fasting as an act of worship and surrender, highlighting that real transformation comes not by self-effort, but by living and being led by the Spirit.
