Sacred Season 2026: More Power

January 4, 2026   /   Dr. Allen Griffin   /   Winston Salem First Assembly

 

 

Sacred Season is here!

 

Sacred Season is a specific time for our church family to put first things first. We acknowledge God as our priority by fasting those things that are not sacred to demonstrate our desire for the Lord!

 

This 21-day WS First church fasting, and prayer season is special.

 

Please consider what/how you would like to fast from January 4-25, 2025:

 

  1. Daniel Fast: eliminating meat and sweets/alcohol from your diet.
  2. Liquid Fast: soups and shakes only.
  3. Media Fast: eliminating social media/entertainment.
  4. Sunup to Sundown: eating only predawn and after dusk.
  5. Modified Fast: a personal sacrifice that releases your time for prayer.
  6. One Meal: Give up one meal per day for prayer and scripture study.
  7. Surrendering whatever I adore for the One!

 

We will pray (Monday through Saturday) from 12 noon to 1 pm in the auditorium. All are welcome! We will have worship and prayer each Wednesday evening starting at 6:30 pm

 

 2026 is our year of MORE!

 

In 2026: Our Theme is “More than Enough!” and our proclamation is “More!”


El Shaddai: God Almighty.


When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to him and said, “I am El-Shaddai—‘God Almighty.’ Serve me faithfully and live a blameless life. I will make a covenant with you, by which I will guarantee to give you countless descendants.” At this, Abram fell face down on the ground. 

 

Then God said to him, “This is my covenant with you: I will make you the father of a multitude of nations! What’s more, I am changing your name. It will no longer be Abram. Instead, you will be called Abraham, for you will be the father of many nations. I will make you extremely fruitful. Your descendants will become many nations, and kings will be among them! “I will confirm my covenant with you and your descendants after you, from generation to generation. 

 

This is the everlasting covenant: I will always be your God and the God of your descendants after you. And I will give the entire land of Canaan, where you now live as a foreigner, to you and your descendants. It will be their possession forever, and I will be their God.” Genesis 17:1-8 (NLT)

 

Abram: exalted father  Abraham: Father of nations 

Sarai: my princess  Sarah: Princess 

God inserts the Hebrew letter ה (heh)—a breath sound—into Abram’s name:

  • Abram → Abraham
  • Sarai → Sarah

Jewish tradition notes this as: the breath of God and a symbol of divine life and promise

 

“It’s your turn!”

 

God will add His power to your purpose! He will lend His being to your ministry!
