There is a time for everything: a time for peace and a time for war, a time to come in and a time to go out. The Lord awakens us with a resounding question: “What time is it, Canada?”

It is time to "Blow the trumpet in Zion, declare a holy fast, call a sacred assembly. Gather the people, consecrate the assembly; Bring together the elders, gather the children, those nursing at the breast. Let the bridegroom leave his room and the bride her chamber. Let the priests, who minister before the Lord, weep between the portico and the altar. Let them say, 'Spare your people, Lord. Do not make your inheritance an object of scorn, a byword among the nations. Why should they say among the peoples, ‘Where is their God?’” — Joel 2:15-17

This is not only an individual consecration—this is a corporate call. As ONE body, we come to the altar in repentance, aligning with His time, His sovereign plan, and His holy desires.

The charge is clear. Fast all you consume, and consume Me. Hear My voice and obey. Give Me your TIME “All we consume” is not just food—it is everything that takes our attention, focus, and mental space.

We hear the Lord is saying: “I challenge you to make ROOM for Me in a radical way. Fast everything that consumes your time, and let Me consume you.”
