DANIEL FAST MEAL PLAN READ TODAY'S DEVO Ways to Fast As you choose a way to fast, enjoy the closeness you find with God when you set aside time in His presence. Choose to fast 1, 2 or 3 meals a day. Opt for a partial fast like the Daniel Fast. Limit yourself to a liquids only fast. Try fasting from sunrise to sunset. In addition to fasting food, also fast media such as TV, movies, and social media. Daniel What is the Daniel Fast? The Daniel Fast is based on the prophet Daniel’s fasting experiences as recorded in the Bible. The fast is a biblically based partial fast. According to Daniel 1, the results were: learning, skill, wisdom, spiritual understanding, favor, and better appearance! In Daniel 10, the fast resulted in answered prayer and spiritual insight. One of the great things about the Daniel Fast is that you are not limited to any specific amount of food, but rather to the kinds of food you can eat. THREE KEY COMPONENTS TO THE DANIEL FAST Only fruits, vegetables, nuts, legumes & whole grains. Only water or natural juice for a beverage. No sweeteners, breads, meat, eggs, or dairy products. RESOURCES The Ultimate Guide to the Daniel Fast Divided into three parts–fast, focus, and food–this book is your inspirational resource for pursuing a more intimate relationship with God as you eliminate certain foods such as sugars, processed ingredients, and solid fats from your diet for 21 days. Author Kristen Feola explains the Daniel Fast in easy-to-understand language, provides thought-provoking devotions for each day of the fast, and shares more than 100 tasty, easy-to-make recipes that follow fasting guidelines. Available for purchase at the Oaks Coffee Co. Store. LEARN MORE How to prepare for the Daniel Fast? The Daniel Fast is a unique type of fast because you can eat, unlike a liquid fast where only water or juices are consumed. But just because you can have food doesn’t mean the Daniel Fast is easy. Fasting, in any form, is difficult because you’re doing battle physically and spiritually. Continue Reading… LEARN MORE DANIEL FAST MEAL PLAN Join us for the 21-Day Devotional Start your new year with a focus on the spiritual discipline of fasting. This plan includes several passages about fasting and others that encourage reflection and closeness to God. For 21 days, you’ll get a daily Bible reading, a brief devotional, reflection questions, and a prayer focus. To join, text the keyword 21days to the number (469) 817-9977. READ TODAY'S DEVO
