15-DAY CHALLENGE (NO DRUGS, ALCOHOL OR SUGAR)


DECEMBER 1-15 

We support the many that are struggling to get themselves and their lives back on track, because of drugs, alcohol and unhealthy eating. By faith, we are standing with them in fasting for 15-days for their deliverence and a mighty move of God in our city. We will also be praying everyday from 12 noon to 1 o'clock pm. You are welcome to join us in prayer at Northside Church 348 Preston Street, Spartanburg, SC 29303. Pray for yourself or come "stand in the gap" for someone you care about.

As a church planter in a high-risk innercity community I have met hundreds of wonderful people with tremendous potential that are being robbed of their goals and dreams because of these bad habits. Lives are ruined and families are literally being torn apart. We know that there are people who need professional help and strongly encourage them to get it. We also know that there is NOTHING TO HARD FOR GOD! Prayer is the key and faith unlocks the door. Please Join us December 1st-15th.

"Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, “Why could we not drive it out?” And He said to them, “Because of the littleness of your faith; for truly I say to you, if you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible to you. But this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.” Mathew 17:19-21 NASB

WHY CUT DRINKING?
"Have you ever wondered whether the doctors are right about your drinking habits? Did you ever wonder whether those reports that alcohol is bad for all your organs are true? Well, there are certain truths in this. Drinking is bad for the health. Even if you only have a few units a day or a week, you could benefit from completely quitting your alcohol consumption. Any damage that has happened because of your drinking will be reversed the longer you stay off the booze. You can see the benefits just by reducing your drinking for a month. And once you get the first month out of the way, you’ll find it much easier to keep your drinking to a minimum afterwards." Drinking Alcohol

WHY CUT DRUGS?
"Now that the holidays are here, many people from all walks of life and who are struggling with drug addiction will be finding themselves wishing that they had never tried drugs. Drugs can, and most likely will, ruin the life of anyone who uses them for any extended period of time. What are the best reasons to avoid using drugs? Here are only a few:" Doing Drugs

WHY CUT SUGAR?
"Eating too many of these empty calories has many health effects, the most obvious being major weight gain. Added sugar drives your insulin levels up, messes with your metabolism, and causes those calories to turn right into belly fat. And while losing weight is well and good, that’s just the beginning of the health benefits of cutting back on the sweet stuff. Below are 21 more legit reasons—besides fitting into skinny jeans—to tame that sweet tooth for good" Eating Sugar
