We challenge God's people to cultivate a desire for fasting.

God’s will is sovereign over all things known and unknown. when God answers our prayers contrary to our desires, we must remember that we should desire God's will rather than our own will be done.

God’s will is sovereign over all things known and unknown. when God answers our prayers contrary to our desires, we must remember that we should desire God's will rather than our own will be done. When we sin, we become out of alignment with God's will. When David realized that his adulterous and murderous sin placed him out of alignment with God, he committed himself to fasting and praying, yielding to God's will when it was revealed. Hezekiah, when he learned he was about to die, put his priorities in order, submitting to God's sovereignty. After Jonah preached to Nineveh, the king and populace fasted and repented, humbling themselves before God. Jesus Christ continually and humbly aligned His will with His Father's will.
Prayer and fasting can still call forth divine intervention on behalf of God’s people and the critical situation in the world today. As intercessor, Queen Esther placed herself in harm’s way, standing between all Jews and those who wanted to destroy them all. She stood her ground in the face of her own possible execution—fasting and praying to her God for three days and bringing about a change of heart in the King. Initiated by Daniel’s fasting and prayer, angels came forth to battle in the heavenlies.
Primarily, the purpose of fasting is self-humbling. Fasting is a means ordained by God for us to humble ourselves before Him. Throughout the Bible God requires His people to fast and humble themselves, seeking God’s Will, protection, Intercession, forgiveness, mercy and deliverance.
The secret things belong to God, but those things that are revealed (through the passages of the Scriptures) belong to us. God knows the end from the beginning, but He does not give us all the details at once, except as they are necessary for us to process in our journey along life's path.
What will eventually emerge for us is a clear understanding of God's will.

God's Will {Be Done}
Our Mission is to support and build “Fast-Families” or fasting families through our Content, Messaging and Products.
At Esther’s Call, we believe it should be every Christian’s desire to align themselves to the will of God. Even Jesus Christ (God made man) sought only to align Himself to the Will of the Father. As shown in Luke 22:42
Our Mission is to support and build “Fast-Families” or fasting families through our Content, Messaging and Products.
At Esther’s Call, we believe it should be every Christian’s desire to align themselves to the will of God. Even Jesus Christ (God made man) sought only to align Himself to the Will of the Father. As shown in Luke 22:42 “Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done.”
In Matthew 12:50 Jesus Christ says “"For whoever does the will of My Father who is in heaven, he is My brother and sister and mother." Jesus Christ also told us that the evidence of our love for Him is shown by keeping God’s commandments. God’s commands are also God’s will for man as shown in John 14:15 ““If you love me, keep my commands.” In essence, Jesus Christ is informing us that the only way to know that we belong to Him is if we seek to align ourselves to His will.
Throughout Scripture, we can see several examples of how God’s people showed their desire to align themselves to the will of God. As with anything of vital importance such as aligning ourselves with God’s will, something has to give. As stated in 2 Chronicles 7:14 “if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land. It is clear that part of aligning ourselves to the will of God requires humility.
A significant way God’s people showed humility in the Bible from Old to New Testament, was through the act of fasting. Moses, David, Elijah, Ahab, Darius, Daniel, Ezra, Nehemiah, the people of Nineveh, Jesus Christ, Anna, The Disciples of John the Baptist, The Elders in Antioch, Cornelius, Paul and Esther all fasted as recorded in Scripture.
Jesus Christ stated in Matthew 9:14-15 “Then came to Him the disciples of John, saying, why do we and the Pharisees fast oft, but thy disciples fast not? And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then shall they fast.”
Jesus Christ informs the Disciples of John the Baptist that when the time comes when He is taken away, that His followers shall fast. It is clear from this passage that God wants us to fast as He shared in this verse. Fasting is a crucial way for us to humble ourselves before God in a sincere effort to align ourselves with God’s will.
At Esther’s Call, we say “FAST” stands for Forsaking-All-Self-Today. Our Mission at Esther’s Call is to create Content, Messaging, and Products that challenge and encourage the Church to incorporate fasting in their prayer life as we seek to align ourselves to the will of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior.
We hope that you will keep our ministry in your prayers. As the Lord leads, please consider supporting us through our unique fundraising campaign. We raise funds by offering our assistance to other ministries and organizations and welcome a donation.

Our Fast-Team works tirelessly to build and support Fast-Families around the world. We produce Content, Messaging, and products that is geared towards encouraging the Christian community to incorporate fasting in their spiritual lives.
We demonstrate a desire to obey God when we fast from our carnal desires and appetites and forcefully bring those carnal desires and appetites under subjection, creating a milieu of humble, contemplative reflection concerning the source of physical and spiritual blessings. Esther’s Call exhorts the servants of Jesus Christ to humble ourselves, using the example of King David, who humbled himself through fasting. Our souls need humbling—and prayer & fasting are keys to that.
We challenge servants of God to commit themselves to praying and fasting for families, cities, states, nations and the world.
We send out weekly Fast-Letters (you guessed it) to all subscribers on our email list about how we are praying and fasting for God's will on current and pressing issues.
Fast-Letters are emailed out every Saturday of each week.
We have weekly Fast-Calls via Zoom once each week on Saturdays only, one Fast-Call in morning (EST) and another Fast-Call late evening (EST) to cover different time zones.
The Fast-Team is available via email, text and call for prayerful support and encouragement on fasting.
