January Fast Day One | Faith Over Formula | 1.7.26

This powerful session marks Day 1 of our January 2026 WOW Fast and sets the spiritual foundation for the yearwith the theme: God-Sized Dreams Require Radical Faith. This teaching is a call to radical obedience, deeper trust, and releasing the limits we’ve placed on God through logic, strategy, and self-reliance.

During this live Command Your Morning and WOW Wednesday Sister Call, we gathered in expectation and alignment to begin our 3-Day Fast from January 7–9, fasting from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM with water only. This was not about ritual or routine, but about positioning our hearts to hear God clearly, obey Him fully, and step into God-sized dreams that require radical faith.

This session confronts small thinking, surface-level belief, and formula-based faith. We explored what it truly means to surrender our plans, our timelines, and our need for control, and instead ask God what He desires, what He is building, and where He is sending us. This is about faith that moves before clarity comes, obedience before strategy, and trust beyond what our eyes can see.

Key themes covered in this session include:
• Faith over formula and obedience over outcomes
• Releasing small thinking and self-imposed limits
• Moving from goal-setting to God-listening
• Radical faith that requires movement before explanation
• Trusting God beyond logic, numbers, and circumstances
• Cleansing the heart, mind, and belief systems during fasting
• Hearing God clearly through surrender, prayer, and worship

Scriptures

Jeremiah 1:7–8 AMP | “But the Lord said to me, ‘Do not say, “I am only a boy,” because wherever I send you, you shall go, and whatever I command you, you shall speak. Do not be afraid of them, for I am with you to protect you and deliver you,’ says the Lord.”

Matthew 17:14–20 TPT | Jesus said, “Because of your little faith… 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. Nothing will be impossible for you.”

2 Corinthians 5:7 NIV | “For we live by faith, not by sight.”

Deuteronomy 28:12–13 MSG | “God will throw open the doors of His sky vaults and pour rain on your land on schedule… You will be the head and not the tail, always on top and never at the bottom.”

WOW Notes For You To Apply:

1. Ask yourself honestly: Where have I brought God my goals instead of asking Him for His will?
2. Identify areas where logic, fear, or past disappointment have limited your belief.
3. Declare out loud: I will go where You tell me to go, and I will say what You tell me to say.
4. Release the need to see all the steps before taking the first one.
5. During this fast, prioritize hearing over asking and obedience over explanation.
6. Spend intentional time in prayer, worship, and the Word, allowing God to cleanse your thinking and expand your faith.
7. Surrender what feels “small,” safe, or manageable and invite God into what feels impossible.

This replay is for every woman who knows there is more, but has felt stretched, unsure, or hesitant to move without certainty. God is calling His daughters into a deeper posture of trust, a higher level of obedience, and a faith that is no longer driven by formulas, trends, or strategies, but by His voice alone.
