The symptoms that accompany detox process might be light or more pronounced: headaches, leg cramps, fatigue, nausea and even light depression. You might experience detuning from food addictions, such as: caffeine, processed or unnatural foods, chemicals and sugar. For some the change is going to be very dramatic. Our bodies are most definitely going to be affected as we change our diet for 21 days. Invite the Holy Spirit to guide you and to reveal areas in your life that need purification What Happens During the Fast? THE BODY Keep a journal of your revelations, of what God is speaking to you. When you are fasting, set time aside for prayer, worship, meditation and Bible study. Write expecting the Holy Spirit to partner with you as you seek a greater level of intimacy with your Father. Most men and women on the Daniel Fast find it helpful to journal during their consecrated time of prayer and fasting. Gather books and study materials to help feed your spirit and guide your quiet time. Then make a plan for your prayer and study time. Invest some quality prayer time… and decide on a purpose for your fast. So prayerfully consider the focus of your fast.įor example, what is your greatest need at this time in your life? Do you want to learn to trust God in a deeper and more consistent manner? Could your marriage be stronger? Do you have financial pressures? Do you have family members who don't yet know the Lord or have walked away from the Christian life? Otherwise, without a purpose, you will be merely dieting. Fast with a Purposeīefore you begin, decide on the purpose of your fast. Take the time to prayerfully consider the reason of your fast. Without a purpose, you will be simply dieting. Fasting should be done with a PURPOSE! Before you begin the fast you should decide on the purpose of your fast. During fasting we take charge of our flesh, making it a servant to our spirit, and thus we are able to get in tune with what the Holy Spirit is speaking to us.įasting is not a diet! Fasting is not done for weight loss! Fasting is ALWAYS done for spiritual purposes. When we satisfy our flesh with everything that it demands we tend to drown out God’s voice because we become very preoccupied with self-gratification. It is done not so we can change God’s mind, but rather to get quiet before Him, so we can hear what He is speaking. So, to truly benefit from the fast one would have to restrict/change their normal food intake.įasting is a spiritual discipline. The Hebrew word for fast means “to cover the mouth.” The Greek word for fast means “to abstain from food.” While we do need to get away from everyday destructions of our lives and spend time alone with God, away from people, fasting is always about restricting food! Everything else is self-discipline and dying to our flesh. However, these people misunderstand what fasting is and isn’t. What is Fasting?įasting ALWAYS involves FOOD! You might have heard some say: “I am fasting my friends,” or “I am fasting television,” etc. In the next few paragraphs, we will talk about the What, Why and the How of the Daniel Fast.
