Purpose of the Fast

  • Fasting is a spiritual commitment between you and God.

  • It is an act of honor, worship, and consecration, not a weight-loss plan.

  • The focus is to seek God more deeply and hear His voice.

Type of Fast

Daniel Fast

  • Inspired by Daniel 1:12 – “Please test your servants for ten days: Give us nothing but vegetables to eat and water to drink.”

  • You may consume vegetables, fruits, and water only.

  • Avoid processed foods, meats, sweets, and bread.

Supporting Scriptures

  • Matthew 6:16-18 – "When you fast, do not look somber as the hypocrites do... your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you."

  • Isaiah 58:6 – “Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice…?”

  • Joel 2:12 – “Even now, declares the Lord, return to me with all your heart, with fasting and weeping and mourning.”

  • James 4:8 – “Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you.”

Regular Fast Guidelines

  • Aim for 8 hours of fasting daily (minimal water intake during that time).

  • You may choose a time frame that works for you, but consistency is encouraged.

  • Ultimately, the details are between you and God.
