DANIEL FAST 2021
~The Daniel Fast is biblically-based. (Daniel 1:1-21) The Focus: shall
be “Lifestyle Change”-which consists of the longevity of 40 days Maximum, where one agrees to
“Fast, Pray, Meditate, and read scriptures, striving to pray 3 times per day
(morning, noon, and Evening prior to bed}
Option: For Beginners: make a
concerted effort to stay with it for at least 7 days, If you make it to
that mark, then push on for 14 days, That will be Great!!
In the midst of travailing. Then continue to “Go Forth!” To 21 days,
28, 35 days, If you become more motivated/inspired/excited-You might just reach
the finish line of the totality of 40 days. Congratulations!!! YOU DID IT!!!!
THE REASON AND GOAL OF PRAYING:
• Renewal and
Restoration
• Connected to the
“Right Relationship w/God
• Diligently
striving to always-“Practice His Presence”
PRAYER W/FASTING:
Know This: Fasting is one of the utmost “Keys” of Prayer. The most
serious matter to be conscious of; is that it calls for unusual sacrifice with
a focus on devotion, dedication, commitment, and to be steadfast on the daily
walk of life for good health and regiment of exercise routines. Such as
Cardio, Stretching, Strength, Resistance, Pilates, and Core Abdominal Muscles
God reveals thru the prophet Joel, who commanded his people to return
to him “with all your heart…the act of fasting, weeping and mourning.
Also Jesus at the onset of his
earthly ministry prepared Himself for the challenges ahead, by committing to 40
days of fasting {Mt 4:2}. One should become conscious and more aware of the process
of denying self. When you deny yourself of the daily demands of the flesh and instead
focus your attention on God. You can do this through Keeping God in
'front-of-mind-consciousness' and always endeavor to "Practice The
Presence of The Lord."
It
is then, when one can go more deeply and
intently into being “prayerful focus”. The ultimate outcome is for God to get
the ‘Glory’. When times of difficulty, strain, stress, anxiety, even depression
raise its ugly head-but thru prayer you can make the connection to God for the
manifestation of the “break-through”. Thus one being thankful is when the
Glorification to God kicks in. The Hebrew word hallelujah is the command to
Hallel (praise) Yah (the Lord). Therefore, Let’s
“Praise The Lord!!!”
As we all fast, pray, and meditate together it means we’re united in
appealing to God and has an expectation of hearing from Him. When it is done in
all sincerity God consistently honors it.
Remarks: During the daily routine,
include in your prayer time, the asking of the Lord to: “To help you to be more
obedient to him; comprehend the importance of forgiveness, and to help all of
us grasp the full understanding, of what it means, to Trust him, Depend on him,
Lean on him, and know he, and he alone; is the Source for all our needs
As we read and re-read, (Daniel
1:1-21 it shall become crystal clear, the approach, and the reason, why Daniel
choose to follow God’s revelations and instructions, rather than King
Nebuchadnezzar’s mandate to eat kosher meats from the pantry and drinks branded
wine from the king’s cellar. Instead, Daniel chooses to have pulse and water {fruits, veggies, grain, fiber,
oats, nuts, and protein, etc,. Also, drink
alkaline water. {I.e. smart water or core water. If you are not able to buy it
you can convert tap or regular bottle by simply adding fresh lime juice or
fresh lemon juice and/or concentrated lemon juice
Other suggested Scriptures: Galatians 5:22-26, {But
the fruits of the spirit…} Isaiah 61:1-4, [the spirit of the Lord…} Isaiah
58:12 {the repairer of the breach}

Brief Glimpse concerning Insights and
Spiritual Intel about Daniel
Daniel save Solomon; possessed a special dispensation of blessings
bestowed upon him from almighty God. Which gifted him with a keen mind and
insights, as he was anointed with extraordinary wisdom, knowledge and
understanding, and the ability to interpret dreams, explain riddles and solve
very difficult problems?
Daniel being full of such wisdom, knowledge & understanding made
him much more aware regards what the King ordered them to eat was not
‘on-point’ nutritionally, nor was it very healthy. Therefore, he stood Stanch in his belief, Bold in the Spirit with the Lord. He
was resolute and determined to partake & consume the Graze of the land & the earth plants and trees. Daniel
requested pulse to be brought to him {fruits
& veggies} to eat and water to drink.
Note: As we continue to read the scriptures daily we will soon see the
Divine outcome and results that Daniel obtained. Which influence the King to
recant and/or reverse himself regards his original order for food consumption
for everybody. To God Be The Glory!
