FOCUS FAST: JUNE 2026- ABUNDANT RAIN

FOCUS FAST: JUNE 2026- ABUNDANT RAIN

In June 2026, the Lord called ARISE Ministry into a Focus Fast. At the core of this assignment was Jeremiah 33:3, a scripture the Lord used to reveal His desire to pour into His children, provide fresh vision, and release divine strategies for the season ahead.

He also gave me Isaiah 43:18-19 and spoke these words to my spirit:

"Beautiful Surprises Ahead."

Through this post, you will be able to follow along with this Focus Fast journey. Here you will find the daily homework assignments, reflection questions, and links to each live teaching and prophetic word released during the fast.

My prayer is that this Focus Fast helps position you to receive the abundant rain God is bringing forth in this season. May it strengthen your faith, renew your vision, and prepare your heart for the beautiful surprises He has ahead for you.

ARISE FOCUS FAST DAY ONE HOMEWORK 6/12/26

The Tides Have Shifted Good morning, ARISE Family. As we begin Day One of our Focus Fast, I want to encourage you to resist the temptation to rush through today's assignment. The purpose of this fast is not simply to hear me speak. The purpose is to hear God speak. Over the next few days, we are intentionally disconnecting from distractions so we can reconnect with His voice. Many of us have spent months asking God for direction, answers, breakthrough, provision, and clarity. Yet Jeremiah 33:3 reminds us that God is not silent. Jeremiah 33:3 (CSB) «"Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and incomprehensible things you do not know."» Take a moment and really think about that. God is not withholding wisdom. God is not withholding direction. God is not withholding strategy. The invitation is to come close enough to hear. As you spend time with the Lord today, I want you to pay attention to the thoughts, scriptures, impressions, ideas, memories, and revelations that continue surfacing in your spirit. Write them down. Don't dismiss them. Many times God speaks in whispers before He speaks in thunder. One of the themes we will be discussing during this fast is that the tides have shifted. Some people are standing in a new season while still carrying the mindset of an old one. Some are waiting on God to do something new while He is asking them to recognize what He has already done. Isaiah 43:19 (CSB) «"Look, I am about to do something new; even now it is coming. Do you not see it?"» Notice the question: Do you not see it? Perhaps the issue is not that God isn't moving. Perhaps the issue is that we haven't recognized the movement. Today, ask the Lord to help you see clearly. Ask Him to reveal any area where your thoughts, expectations, or perspective are not aligned with what He is doing in this season. --- Scriptures To Meditate On Jeremiah 33:3 Isaiah 43:18-19 Matthew 6:26 «"Consider the birds of the sky: They don't sow or reap or gather into barns, yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren't you worth more than they?"» Read each scripture slowly. Pray over them. Journal what stands out. Ask the Lord what He is highlighting specifically for you. ---

What area of my life still reflects the mindset of a previous season? 2. What is God asking me to see differently right now? 3. If I truly believed the tides had shifted, what would I begin expecting from God?

 

Prayer Focus Lord, Open my eyes to see what You are doing. Open my ears to hear what You are saying. Reveal any thought patterns, beliefs, fears, or expectations that no longer belong in this season. Help me align my vision with Your vision. Give me fresh perspective, fresh hope, and fresh expectation. In Jesus' name, Amen.

Take your time today. Be still. Listen. Pay attention. God still speaks.

DAY 2 HOMEWORK

ARISE FOCUS FAST DAY 2 HOMEWORK
WILL YOU OBEY BEFORE YOU UNDERSTAND?
Good morning, ARISE Family. Yesterday we spent time seeking God for fresh vision, fresh direction, and fresh perspective. We reflected on Jeremiah 33:3 and Isaiah 43:18-19, asking the Lord to help us see the new thing He is doing. Today we are taking the next step. Vision is important. But vision alone changes nothing. At some point, faith requires obedience. At some point, God will give an instruction. The real question becomes: **Will I obey before I understand?** Many times we ask God for clarity, but what we are really asking for is certainty. We want to know how everything will work out before we move. We want all the details before we say yes. We want the guarantee before we take the step. But throughout Scripture, God often asks His people to trust Him before they fully understand Him. Naaman wanted healing, but he didn't like the instructions. Peter wanted fish, but he didn't understand the strategy. Abraham wanted the promise, but he didn't know the destination. Faith often begins where understanding ends. As you spend time with the Lord today, I want you to pay attention to any areas where you may be resisting God's leading because it doesn't make sense yet. Sometimes the greatest breakthrough comes through simple obedience. Not dramatic obedience. Not perfect obedience. Just obedience. --- Scriptures To Meditate On Proverbs 3:5-6 (CSB) "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own understanding; in all your ways know him, and he will make your paths straight." --- Isaiah 55:8-9 (CSB) "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, and your ways are not my ways." This is the LORD's declaration. "For as heaven is higher than earth, so my ways are higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts." --- Romans 12:2 (CSB) "Do not be conformed to this age, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind..." --- Jeremiah 33:3 (CSB) "Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and incomprehensible things you do not know." Read these scriptures slowly. Ask the Lord what He is highlighting. Write down any thoughts, impressions, ideas, instructions, or confirmations that come to your spirit. ---
Journal Prompts 1. What area of my life am I struggling to surrender because I don't fully understand what God is doing? --- 2. Has God already given me an instruction that I have delayed because it didn't make sense to me? --- 3. What would change in my life if I trusted God's character more than my own understanding? ---
Prayer Focus Father, Help me trust You when I don't understand. Help me surrender my need to have all the answers. Give me the courage to obey even when the path ahead is unclear. Reveal any areas where fear, pride, control, or doubt may be keeping me from following Your voice. Teach me to trust Your heart when I cannot see Your hand. In Jesus' name, Amen. ---
Today's Challenge Throughout the day, whenever you feel the urge to figure everything out, pause and ask yourself: **"Am I trying to understand God, or am I being invited to trust Him?"** Be still. Listen. Pay attention. God is often speaking in the space between the instruction and the understanding.
DAY 3:
DAY 3 | ABUNDANT RAIN IS HERE | ARISE FOCUS FAST

DAY 3 HOMEWORK

ARISE FOCUS FAST DAY 3 HOMEWORK ABUNDANT RAIN IS HERE

 Good morning, ARISE Family. Today is our final day of the Focus Fast. Over the last two days, we have been asking God for fresh vision, new strategies, and the courage to trust Him even when we don't fully understand what He is doing. Today, we shift our attention to expectation. One of the greatest challenges after a long season of waiting is learning how to expect again. Disappointment has a way of lowering our expectations. Delayed answers can cause us to stop looking. Long seasons of drought can convince us that rain is never coming. But in 1 Kings 18, Elijah heard something before anyone else did. He heard the sound of abundance. The sky was clear. The evidence wasn't visible. The drought had not yet broken. Yet Elijah declared: "The rain is coming." Today I want you to ask yourself a simple question: What if God is closer to fulfilling His promise than I realize?** Many people are looking for a thunderstorm while God is sending a cloud. Many are looking for a harvest while God is sending the first signs of increase. Don't miss what God is doing because it appears small. Small clouds can carry big rain. Scriptures To Meditate On Jeremiah 33:3 (CSB) "Call to me and I will answer you and tell you great and incomprehensible things you do not know." --- Isaiah 43:18-19 (CSB) "Do not remember the past events; pay no attention to things of old. Look, I am about to do something new; even now it is coming. Do you not see it?" --- 1 Kings 18:41 (CSB) "Then Elijah said to Ahab, 'Go up, eat and drink, for there is the sound of a rainstorm.'" --- 1 Kings 18:44 (CSB) "There is a cloud as small as a man's hand rising from the sea." --- Matthew 6:26 (CSB) "Consider the birds of the sky: They don't sow or reap or gather into barns, yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren't you worth more than they?" ---

 Journal Prompts 1. What promises from God have I stopped expecting because of the length of the wait? --- 2. Where do I already see signs that God may be moving, even if the full manifestation has not arrived? --- 3. If I truly believed the rain was coming, what would I begin preparing for today? ---

Prayer Focus Father, Thank You for speaking to me throughout this Focus Fast. Thank You for fresh vision. Thank You for new direction. Thank You for teaching me to trust You more deeply. Today I ask You to restore my expectation. Help me to recognize the small clouds that signal bigger things ahead. Open my eyes to see what You are doing. Strengthen my faith where disappointment has weakened it. Teach me to expect Your goodness, Your provision, Your favor, and Your promises. I choose to believe that the promise still stands. In Jesus' name, Amen.
