Read aloud the Word according to the chapters or passages assigned for each day in the prayer guide. (The text passage references are listed in this on-line schedule as a reminder in case you have not got the prayer guide with you.) Warfare: Pray the Word! Arise in faith, and in the authority of Jesus's name. claim the promise and power of His Word which is alive and active! Adopt an attitude of prayer as you go about each day's duties at home, at work or at school. Apply what you learnt from Acts in tangible actions. Scale down your normal activities. Slow down. Avoid rigorous exercise such as rock-climbing or jogging. Besides fasting from food, fast from things that distract such as television, movies, internet, computer games, or things things that destroy such as careless words. Break fast gradually and wisely. For health reasons, you should consume small portions as you break fast, avoiding chilli or acidic foods as much as possible.
