Fast of Passover (Pesach)

Dear Prayer Leaders,

As we prepare for a significant season of fasting and spiritual renewal, we align with the theme “The Year of the Open Door” from Revelation 3:8. With Passover (Pesach) fast approaching, this is a powerful time to focus on redemption, which is deeply connected to both the Passover story and the Open Door God is setting before His people.

Our spiritual focus for the Passover Fast is REDEEM: “The Lord will Redeem the Lost.” Below are two key scripture verses to anchor this fast, along with seven weekly themes.

Luke 19:10 (NIV) “For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”

Isaiah 43:1 (NIV) “But now, this is what the Lord says—he who created you, Jacob, he who formed you, Israel: ‘Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine.’”

Why these verses? As I prayed, the Lord reminded me that Jesus’ mission was to redeem those who were lost. As we fast, we align ourselves with His heart to restore and bring people back into His kingdom.

The scripture verses speak of God’s redemption:

1. He has already redeemed His people and calls them by name.
2. They reassure us that no one is too lost to be redeemed, aligning with the open door He has set before us (Revelation 3:8).
3. Redemption is personal; God calls individuals by name and claims them as His own.

These verses tie beautifully into the theme of salvation, restoration, and divine invitations to our open door. 🚪
