The Global Bridegroom Fast

"Can the friends of the bridegroom mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them? But the days will come when the bridegroom will be taken away from them … then they will fast." (Matthew 9:15)

The Global Bridegroom Fast (GBF) is a monthly global solemn assembly of believers in unified, holy abandonment to Jesus for three days. We are calling believers worldwide to join together in prayer and fasting for revival, motivated by experiencing love for Jesus. This is a time when we are called to listen to God directly, not just the words of man. This is not an event but an entirely new lifestyle in the grace of God; we will continue in this fast until Jesus returns.

"Behold, darkness shall cover the earth and deep darkness the people; but the Lord will arise over you and His glory will be seen upon you." (Isaiah 60:2)

At the International House of Prayer Missions Base in Kansas City, the staff gathers together the first Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of every month, as well as seven days in December to form a "solemn assembly" of fasting and prayer in the pattern of Joel chapter two. Twice a day, at 10am and 4pm, the staff gathers for corporate worship and apostolic intercession, asking for the grace to fast.
