I started my Daniel fast yesterday and faltered today by eating cake at my workplace celebrating one of my patients birthday. I feel so guilty and I can feel the difference in my body based on the changes I made in my food..beans nuts water fruits vegetables brown rice... and only eat one time for the day...ain't giving up I've asked God for forgiveness and will continue tomorrow. Pray for me ya'll so I can stay strong and overcome
Hey guys sorry haven't been responding to replies...well, here's the update. Honestly it's been awhile since then. Got so caught up with life and working towards achieving something tho I keep telling myself I'm going to get back I need to get back to that place up to two days ago I was watching a vid online and I said it to myself again but haven't started yet..Tho sometimes there's a little intermittent between but to be truly intune and allow the process to start and be determined and persistent is a bit weak..reason I believe there r somethings about myself that I need to work on but fighting a hard battle to overcome and to stay strong
I am on my 5th day of the Daniel fast trusting in God for 5 items spiritual growth, a better job, empower me in my ministry, marriage and against the spirit of rejection. Please pray with me that God continues to give me strength and encourage me through the holy Spirit. Hallelujah
Matthew 6:16-18 "And when you fast, do not look gloomy like the hypocrites, for they disfigure their faces that their fasting may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received reward. But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, that your fasting may not be seen by others but by your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
YUP. INDEED DO THAT EVERY DAY SO NOBODY KNOWS WHEN YOU ARE FASTING. REMEMBER YOU CAN FAST ANYTHING. YOU CAN FAST A CUP OF COFFEE OR A SLICE OF MEAT, BUT DO IT FOR THE LORD. ITS THE OPPOSITE OF GLUTTONY, THEREFORE IT IS SPIRITUAL. FOR EVERY DAY YOU FAST, HAVE ALSO FEAST DAYS TO THE LORD AT HIS APPOINTED TIMES! SATURDAY SABBATH IS A FEAST TIME BUT PREPARE THE FOOD THE DAY BEFORE, REMEMBER, NO COOKING ON THE SATURDAY SABBATH!
Michael Gallagher - You proved the Bible correct. The Lord said this almost 2000 years ago. Guess he’s not a tooth fairy after all. Thank you for once again proving Jesus right. God Bless you! John 3:20 - “For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.”
I am currently on the daniel fast but doing it for all of Jan instead of 21 days. The last few days have been a struggle but I'm on day 28 and I know I will finish strong. During this time of fasting, God has revealed incredible truth and revelation in my life! God is so good!!
Dearest Stella. I am so happy for you. God is so amazing and has an endless wealth of wisdom and truth to share with us. I'm so glad you've opened yourself to Him. Be blessed as you complete your fast.
It's so powerful and helpful. I'm on it, God is sending so many signs on my way. The Lord is always faithful to the righteous, I'll keep listening to him and follow his law
Thank you for your post, Esther. Our God is so very good and has so much for us to receive from Him. Our part is to turn to Him and listen for His still, small voice. Be blessed on your fast.
He didn't eat pork or shellfish of any kind because of the dietary laws of the Law of Moses these food were unclean and even tho he was in Babylon in the royal court he still didn't want to eat these foods that are unclean according to the Law of Moses he got many blessings!!!!!
Did many fasts, but not of the heart. finally did one with pure focus on the Lord and was an AMAZING experience, scales removed, a catapult to deeper understanding, and an alertness towards God I never had!! Once you experience the true power, you know it is vital in our spiritual walk!
Oh, such a lovely testimony! Yes, our God is so amazing and is eager to be with us and share His awesome truths. He wants to minister to us and lead us into His way and His truths. Be blessed, dear one. Thanks for sharing your experience.
@@shirleymusubika1676 you tell the Lord you are doing this fast for Him and may He make it pleasing to Himself. We are nothing without Him and when we realize we are incapable and ask Him for His capability, we see Him work and not our own self efforts. Isaiah 58 is the true fast! Ask receive believe give thanks 😊
Due to me having an eating disorder (in my teenage years), and always being underweight, I am joining a corporate 21 day fast albeit in a more different way. I know that the original fast was vegetarian/vegan, but due to concerns from my parents with me not getting enough nutrients and further affecting my mental health due to me not eating enough, my mom told me fasting is about the heart. I’ve decided to cut out sugary drinks, soda, snacks, and skipping one meal (I only eat 2 meals a day) out of the day, however, still eating meat and having a full dinner with my family. (I know that this qualifies more as intermittent fasting). But I have committed this time to the Lord, and really seek out what He wants to speak to me about. He has spoken so much about my identity in Christ and how loved I am.
Agree with destiny below. There are either types of fasting as well. You are still crucifying your flesh for spiritual growth. Bless you on your journey
Thank you for posting this. I’ve been struggling about starting the fast but too have struggled with an eating disorder in the past. I feel God saying to cut out coffee and you just helped confirm it for me. Thank you again.
Thank you so much for this Kimberly..I have been struggling about fasting these past few days and what do ... personally have an eating disorder..low appetite very under weight for my age been like this since my elementary and I have kids as well ..but still my eating is zero..am praying to God to guide me on this journey and pour my heart out to him as he sees the whole of me
I love how you said that the Daniel fast is not just about the food since here on RUclips everybody is talking about what to eat and what to not eat etc😢… after my day2, I read in Daniel that while fasting we also need to be get on own knees 3times/day humble ourselves in front of God
You no what god bless you thats discipline and love right there I believe keep the children of god in prayer pray against the enemy and that the lords will be done on earth you sound like you are one who god will listen too .true worshiper. Love to Hear this this kind of sacrifice is whats needed today god bless tou
@@yoyolove3296 yes I see so many Daniel fast videos about dishes and recipes that it really takes away from the point of just sacrificing for the Lord.
God is using you tremendously..This is by far the most beautiful fast I have ever encountered. Some days are hard and filled with the usual doubt but I feel the Holy spirit leading ..It's a new season in Jesus name
Praise God! He is so eager to be near His children. I'm so happy the fast has been a blessing to you. Allowing the Holy Spirit to work in us is life-changing and faith-building. Be blessed!
All praises to God! I completed my 1st Daniel Fast 2 days ago. I kept seeing different elaborate fasting recipes online, but kept the mindset of what Daniel would have had access to. I kept my fasting very simple and felt so spiritually heavy with our God. The morning of my break, I immediately missed my fast, because I didn’t want to lose the ground that I had gained with God. He spoke clearly and showed me things right up until the last hour of the fast. Trust Him, He will bring you through this fast if you want to do it right! 🙌🏾🙏🏾
I did it until day 16 but ate a little meat at a family function.😩 Started again, currently on day two. I did not feel God’s presence how you wrote about it. The video & your testimony were both insightful. Beautiful that you felt God’s presence even in the last hour. What was it like?
I like this video. I’m 17 years old and I just want a simple food meal not with the fancy chia seeds we forgot the whole of the Daniel Fast. Idc how fancy my food is , as long I got food besides the food I need to avoid, I just want to be closer to God and know His will for me❤
Be blessed on your fast. Be sure to check your BS as usual. You will likely find that your blood sugar levels are lowered and you may need less medication. Be blessed on your fast.
I’m on the 2nd day of a 3 day Daniel fast. But, I’ve given in to a cup of black coffee. Ugh. But, I’m still going forward. 1 meal a day of steamed veggies and bowl of fruit. I’m reading the book of Daniel, 4 chapters every day. Prayer. I’ve got a good headache going on. Love you my family in Christ
@@VenekaWithDriveIntoGreatCredit The Daniel diet TEST without meat and sugary wine was only 10 DAYS, and caused fatness (uncorrupted translation). God's laws on eating meat make people strong, healthy and lean, not fat and bloated. Dan1.12,15 “Please test your servants for TEN DAYS, and let them give us vegetables to eat and water to drink. .. 15 And at the end of ten days their features appeared PLEASANT and FATTER in flesh than all the young men who ate the portion of the king’s delicacies.
So true...I just completed 21 days of the Daniel fast.....no sweets, no tv, no meats, dairy...really anything that I love to eat...I ate fruits and vegetables and fish. I woke up each morning and prayed, every evening I prayed and worshipped, throughout the day I listened to the Spirit of God....you will restrict your flesh from the activities of daily life. God has already begun to answer my prayers and I am truly blessed to have experienced His way. We are taught about the Daniel fast wrongly. We don't get the fullness of the blessings of God because we are fasting for the wrong reasons.
The Daniel fast doesn't include fish; the protein you eat on a Daniel fast would be nuts, seeds, legumes likes peas, beans, lentils. You can eat whole grains ( not bread) , they have protein in them. Tofu might be processed, so I don't know about that.
I am 1 day away from completing my first daniel fast. I went into this only preparing the day before because my sister wanted to do this together. I have to say my prayer life is becoming more consistent and helping to bring prayer consistently to my marriage. I am actually looking forward to doing this again with more family and friends.
I so appreciate the part about the fact that it is not about pleasing God. It’s like faith, it’s a gift from God so that no man can boast. I believe that going into the fast rightly causes us to experience it rightly. The discipline is for us to draw closer to God. Such a good reminder. Thank you for this!
Blessings to you, Jessica. God provides to much for us and the benefits of walking in the Spirit are truly beyond our natural understanding. We can access so much of what God has for us as we focus on Him during spiritual fasting. I appreciate your message. Thank you and be blessed on your fast.
Starting the 21 day Daniël fast tomorrow. I’ve been struggling with my path and God put it on my heart. Genuinely excited to focus on our Heavenly Father these three weeks, when my relationship with God is strong life is so peaceful and good. 🙏🏻🤍
@@vidhichudasama1393 so far so good thank you!! I sometimes struggle with what to eat but then I remember it’s about the Lord and not the food :). did have a terrible headache the first few days because I didn’t drink caffeine. But that’s long gone and I’m truly trying to focus on getting to know Jesus the next two weeks!
Thank you! Not only is it not about the food, the people who try to teach people others about the food are using the wrong food. Most of them don't even quote the scriptures.
Thank you for your message, Joshua. God is so very good. He calls us to walk in the Spirit and not the flesh and the ways of the world. He blessings are rich and powerful as we choose Him in all areas of our lives. Be blessed and thanks again for taking the time to write.
Yes, you're so right, Tutsiral. The great news is that the fast provides a "real time" bootcamp to learn about yourself and about denying the flesh. You can see how much your flesh has power over you. I believe this is one of the most valuable lessons we can learn on the fast. Be blessed on your fast. And know for sure that your Father loves you and is with you ever step of the way on your fast as you turn to Him.
You are so welcome! God has placed in me a love for teaching (that is all about Him), because I used to be very shy about public speaking and putting myself out there. But that all changed as leaned more into Him and stopped allowing my "self" to hinder me and the work He wants me to do. He also gave me this "voice." I never thought about it, but so many people mention it to me. God is good. I praise Him and thank Him for all He is doing for the people who turn to Him. He has been so very good to me. Thank you, Tasha. I appreciate and thank God for you.
Thank you Jesus!!! For sending you!! I needed clarity because all the youtube videos is exhausting. I know what I should restrict myself from that I've been indulging in. I drink coffee daily and I haven't been eating so well and I'm so distracted by shopping online and social media, I'm overwhelmed with my job to the point of disinterest (which I know is the attack from the enemy). Im so fsr from my normal connection in Christ, I'm blowing in the wind! I need God all the time and I know when I'm moving on my own occurred; i need direction because I'm wasting time following my own road map.
Dearest Kathaine, it seems the Spirit of God (who is within you) is calling you to walk in the Spirit with Him and learn how to deny the flesh and the ways of the world. His invitation is calling you to peace, blessings, love, care, and so much more. We each have the choice and it appears that you are making the choice to turn to Him and experience more of Him in your life. Be blessed and thank you for your heartfelt and very powerful message.
Your comment, "blowing in the wind" reminded me of something Dr. Dharius Daniels said in his sermon today. He spoke at Elevation Church- you should check it out. Many blessings to you. :)
Blessing to you. Yes, I am in prayer for all those on the fast and those who God places in my circles of influence. I hope the very best for you on your fast.
My mother in law just started the fast. I believe fasting is an important discipline for Spiritual maturity. On this video you mentioned that it should not be done to please God but it can lead to a life of pleasing God more. Fasting does not automatically please God because motives can be wrong but according to Isaiah 58:5-8 God gives us some good reasons to fast.
Thank you so much for your insightful message, PD. Yes, fasting is powerful when it's practiced as God intended. But we don't fast to show God our worth or gain approval from Him. Jesus has already done that and He's the only one who can make us righteous before God. God's word says that He rewards those who diligently seek Him. When we keep our focus on God during the fast, we do please Him and He does reward us. He is so very good.
Very insightful I’m actually in week 3 the last week of my fast... I believe this fast does take discipline because like you said many can get confusing with feastIng due to the fact we are able to eat... but it’s all able fasting, abstaining from food or worldly things for a spiritual connection with our Father... I thank God for the strength to do what has commanded me to do... for those who may thing that can’t just know IF HE CALLED YOU TO IT HE WILL BRING YOU THROUGH IT... Trust God not yourself 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
You answered my question. ! So Daniel is a vegan diet which honestly takes more time to prep Meals so I was really confused about that because your gonna spend more time in the kitchen ad NOT seaking GOD!
I've seen so many changes in my Daniel fast, God is doing Miracles in my life, the voice of the Lord is powerful, Good people please learn to listen to the voice inside you its not just a voice its God speaking giving you directions
Thank you! This is the first time I’ve fasted and where I understand what fasting “is” but could not implement, comprehend, grasp it ..... in full. I struggled with dishes and then felt like I was losing my connection. After all running to McDonald’s use to take zero effort. But in the kitchen I began spending time with God. And then my flesh would fight again, questioning my fasting. But it was the enemy making me believe I wasn’t connecting with God. I am on week 3 now. And I want to say THANK YOU! The words you spoke so eloquently are answers to my prayers in trying to focus on my true purpose of seeking God while my flesh kept trying for me to break. This last week has been the toughest but it is a sign that God is working in me as I seek Him more and just want to live out my Purpose in HIM for His Glory to reach others. May God Bless You and again Thank You from the bottom of my heart. - Erica
I am seeing this just hours before I am starting my Daniel Fast! I am very nervous about it all, but seeing this will be my motivation to do this fast! This is not about the food, but about my heart, about who I am, and in my relationship with Him! I am heading to a retreat with God! Thank you for this!
Thank you for this amazing video. I’m on day 5 of my Daniel fast journey and so far, I’ve been very strong; of course, only through Christ. I couldn’t be happier to be doing the fast as I had been wanting to do it for a while. God bless 🙏🏼
Thank you for this, I've been doing 40 Days FASTING every year but 2021 I felt in my spirit to do Daniel Fast few days ago and this video came in time and it's definitely a confirmation ❤️, I did it once and grew so much SPIRITUALLY.
Praise God! He is so very good and clearly your heart is open to Him and His heart! Fasting is a powerful time of spiritual growth if we keep our focus on Him and keep our souls open to His truths. Be blessed
Amen!!! Thank you so much! Today is my first day of my Daniel fast. I went out and bought Daniel fast approved foods, but I definitely needed to hear this. I’ll definitely keep it simple, and focus on spending my time with God. Thank you. 🙏🏽
Today is my first day and I can admit im so heavily focused on what i can or cannot eat!!! It’s making my head hurt lol so yeah I with you sis keeping it simple and focusing my attention on GOD ✨ praying your fast is effective and life changing GOD bless !!!
Hi, from Pretoria, South Africa. I bought your book as a birthday present to myself in 2015. But this is the first time I'm preparing for this 21 day Daniel fast. I fast regularly every Friday until 4pm and Sunday until 12pm. As far as possible... I accept Jesus' invitation to come to Him. Starting 1 July 2024, my birthday month.
Amazing video! This is my first time doing the Daniel fast, I’m on the second day! Great information and much needed reflection. It’s not about the food, it’s about the connection with God almighty. Thank you, God bless you!
I am actually 2 days away from completing my 21 day fasting and this was my first time. However I didnt do any research prior to but along the way I did research an now discovering things I was supposed to know from before. My advice to anyone reading is plan b4, know what you are to do an allow God to do the rest. I find myself now praying more times a day even though I work full time b4 I eat my fruits I pray. This journey will help me later on so that I can continue with the lifestyle of praying more and not partaking in too much junk food after my fasting.
Hey Danielle. I am starting tomorrow and I also breastfeed. I am a bit concerned though if this will be okay for my body. My baby is big (over 1year) and she doesn't breastfeed that much but still. How is your experience? Looking forward to hearing about it 😊
Thank you so much, Jean. Our God is so very good and I thank Him for giving me this work. I appreciate your encouraging words. ! Be blessed on you fast.
Just want to give you some encouragement I am 2 days away from completing an I did get frustrated last 2 sundays but in the jist of it all satan will try to discourage you cuz he know that your sprit wants to succeed. Fight the temptation an COMPLETE it 😇
Yes I did a Daniel fast for the first time and the Is clarity I got and also im Vegan wasn't trying to be that though but jus water, vegetables, fruit, praying ,reading, worship, what came out of me I said I never want to eat meat again lord knows I felt good, I've be vegan now 2years ,and let me tell u I hated alot vegetables and fruits but I would spend so much time with God but I couldn't take it no more I had to eat ,No season it was hard but definitely worth it ,And God did alot in my life I jus Google Daniel fast and went from there, but you already know God is so so good 🙏 🙌❤ praise his holy mighty name amen 🙏 🙌
I agree with the simplicity of the fast. I've never tried this fast yet but when I do would rather eat the foods fresh. Fruits, vegetables, raw nuts, & salads. Thank you for the clarity of purpose of the fast. God bless you.
wow, this is so so timely. no way i just so happen to come across this video, because im currently doing Daniel fast now. however, it has been about the food for me and i have been breaking fast every day...
Hello Hui. The good news is that now that you know better you can do better. Be blessed as you focus on the Lord and His ways and minimize attention on the food. God is so very good.
Wow im an avid coffee drinker ending day 3 of the daniel fast, and you pinpointed exactly what my bodys been going through. Leg cramps so bad, headaches, and horrible fatigue. Had no idea i had to ween from coffee. Thank you for this information
Hi, i'v heard the voice of God for me to do a 40 day fast almost 2 yrs ago.i havnt been obedient..I'm constantly seeing the number 44 everywhere in go..as much as I love the Lord..fasting seems to be the most difficult for me to do.more than overcoming an addiction..thankyou for this Video sister in JesusChrist! Pls pray my strenghth in the lord to be Obedience.and TRULY SURRENDING ALL TO GOD!
I have been thinking of Daniel fast since last month, just after i finished my Esther fast, Daniel fast came into my mind, kept seeing videos about it, now been watching videos since last night want to start tomorrow. So help me God💜🙏
Thank you. I’m preparing for my very first Daniel fast and I’m so excited for what I know is going to be life changing for me. This is the first place God sent me in preparation. Thank you and God bless you!!
Thank you God for your reassurance❤️ I started fasting 12 days ago. I first received I should fast social media. So a week prior to fasting I slowly went off social media. And a day before my fast I felt I should fast meat and just stay away from any fast foods I usually enjoy on the weekends. But then I heard my brother was doing the Daniel fast. And I felt maybe I should just fast dairy too. I already eat gluten free and very wholesome foods. Because I have food sensitives, But I just went full force. I was feeling great and doing great up until two days ago. I became very fatigued. Super tired. And yesterday and my blood sugar dropped and I almost fainted 🥺 And I had to eat eggs. And drink some milk. I felt like I was brought back to life. Last night I felt so guilty. But I also know my health is important and I’m constantly moving and I workout. I asked God to forgive me. I didn’t want to just fast in vain. And that’s been a repetitive prayer, on my heart, for about a few days. Prior to almost passing out. And this video just brought me so much reassurance. It’s about the heart, not about the food. I know you know my heart lord. I will better prepare myself next year. I’m still fasting meat. And social media. And the fast food I love to eat on the weekends. Just now instead of vegan, it’s vegetarian. Again I know now it’s not about the food. And I kept hearing that as well, but didn’t quite understand until today. After the experience I had and having Asked God for reassurance. Since I did feel guilty.
I want to start the Daniel fast from the 8th this year but it's my first time and my heart is telling me that i should do it but only with water so please keep me in prayer its my first time blessing to you
Thank you Jesus it is about the word of God, prepare yourself to the spiritual thing for the things of the kingdom of God, you are right sister, God open the eyes of your people to no as to fast and pray. Thank you
Greetings. I am glad I took the time to look at this video. I am using the workbook and journal and while writing down one of my desires for today, God's answer led me to find support online. A couple of other people were set to do this together; however, it has not worked out so far. I've always wanted to do this; so when I was asked to do it in the group, I was excited. Even though the group thing has not worked out so far, I believe that the invite was simply God's way of opening the door. The sacrifice of my flesh is what appeals to me the most, as does not eating flesh. Hope that makes sense. I am grateful that you listened to The Most High and took the action to write the book. I have directions/vision/gifts that I have been holding in for a long time. I am on day four and I can already see how this discipline gives my soul the release it needs to be my highest self...the self God intended all along. Love and blessings to all❤
Thank you for the information. I only started a week ago. But what you have presented brings a whole new perspective to what I am committing myself to. To be honest this first week has been about how and what do I eat more than the time set aside to draw nearer. I didn’t realize that til watching this
God is so good, Sonia, and how that you know better you can do better. Seek God on your fast as you learn more about yourself and your relationship with Him. He treasures you and you give Him pleasure as you walk with Him in the Spirit. Be blessed, dear one .
Needed more clarification on this fast thank you. It was put on my heart to do it but i haven’t been preparing my body nor the study material to read. Also i definitely felt convicted because i was focused on what not to eat instead of getting closer to God ...heart was in the wrong place. Thank you so much Susan! God bless and keep waking in your purpose
Thank you! I needed to hear this! It's my first time doing the Daniel. (starting this week) and I see people on RUclips making videos about all the food they buy and all the recipes they try, and I think to myself "doesn't this defeat the whole purpose of a FAST?" I think that if, for medical reasons, you can't do a full blown water fast, then the Daniel fast would be a substitute so that you can have a few fruits and veggies during the day, but not to go all out! From what I understand, a fast is done so that we substitute physical food for spiritual food.
“I like to think of the Daniel fast as entering into a personal retreat with God”. I love that! That gives me a whole new perspective on biblical fasting! I have only done 2 other legitimate biblical fasts before and I can say that I was more focused on denying myself of fleshly desires. However the other important part of the equation is filling yourself with God and setting aside more intimate time with him!
I'm on day 6. I feel like giving up. I didn't prepare, I'm addicted to sugar. I'm feeling very crazy, if I could have bread it would help. Idk if I'm praying/reading enough -I try for 3X a day. I speak to God throughout the day but I feel like nothing is happening. It makes me feel like I'm doing it wrong.
You are so very welcome, beautiful woman of God. Be blessed as you draw near to God and experience even more of his amazing love. Thank you for your encouraging comment. 💕💕💕
This is what l have been searching for for so long. I am impressed with the true meaning of a Daniel fast and want to do it correctly. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. There is so much misinformation out there and methods of what a fast ( biblical )means.
I needed this confirmation. I’m wanting to do the Daniel fast but so many videos are about the food . I’m a chef so I can hook up the most restrictive of diets but I was wanting something more simple. “ I ate no choice food” so I figured it should be extremely simple, humble meals .
Thank you so much Susan for clarity. Not all RUclips videos of Daniel’s fast is valid. I like how specific you said it’s not about food. Which truly isn’t. Thanks again and God bless you.
Thank you for making this video. I’ve always done the Daniel fast alone and i don’t care what i eat. But this time God has been waking up my Husband and he has joined the fast with me but he is sooooo picky about food that i started going crazy. Watching your video just REMINDED me why i began this fast! 🥺 Thank you for this video!
Thank you for this video, God bless you. I’ve just started the fast and I did some research because I didn’t know where to start from and all I could find was meals and food prepping and replacements. I’m glad I’ve come across this video because I was in doubt and I started to think isn’t this wrong? Isn’t a fast supposed to be spending quality time with God and enhancing our faith. This video has confirmed any doubts I had. It’s confirmed to me that the Daniel fast is not about the food and food replacements. It’s about filling our spirits with the words of the Lord.
I am embarking on a fast and I’m so glad I found this video. There are so many things that I don’t know and I need God to teach me and guide me. I want to be closer to Him and get to know Him.
im so glad your making this video. ive been fasting for years as a millennial. and i have never done the Daniel fast ive only done dry fast but since being on dialysis Daniel fast is better for me and i could not believe all the youtube videos of the recipes more on Daniel fast than actually preparing! i thank you so much for this. i want to fast but i don't have an objective yet so will prepare first.
Totally totally agree with the concept of small, simple meals for the fast. The word says Daniel ate no choice foods. I intend to eat Oats with water, fruit and vegetables, water to drink and at the most hot water with lemon. And eating Just enough to take of the edge of the hunger and drinking just enough to not be dehydrated. Thank you for this video
Thank you for sharing about the terrible leg cramps. It was only one nite but I have never had anything like that. I thought it was a spiritual attack. Fasting has been difficult for me. I am learning to trust God more; as well as the benefits of getting to know my father better. He is lovingly showing me myself as I surrender to the love. Good teaching . It’s about God .
Lovely video, thanks. As soon as I recovered from Covid I'm going grocery shopping so I can go vegan for 30 days and so the Daniel fast. I'm all excited. I've been longing for the Lord and I know this fast is key.
God is so good, Nancy. Stepping into the fasting experience as the spiritual discipline God designed fasting to be is a blessing with so many priceless rewards. Be blessed as you continue to pursue Him and His truth.
I hope alot of people get to see this before watching this Daniel fast always seemed to sophisticated but now my eyes are open anyone whose heart is set on having an encounter with God can do this
So guilty😭😭 I just had a wake up call😞💔!!! Thank you for your information so very helpful and encouraging to do better and focus on the spiritual way of doing thing's right. Blessings🙏
Thankfully you can put the guilt behind you as you now you know. When you know better you can do better and all is well. Be blessed on your fast and thank you for your great message. God is so very good!
Thank you so much. Last year I made it about the food and I really missed out on my experience with God becauseI would think about what kind of interesting meal I can make with all the ingredients i bought😓. I really feasted, it didn't even feel like a fast. This year I prepared and this video has actually helped me a lot, our church is on day 2 now so I'm glad I caught this at the beginning of our fast. Now that I'm doing it properly, I must say it's quite challenging, but even in these two days I've already seen how much I've catered to my flesh, this going to be quite a tough spiritual discipline for me but I really need it. Thanks again for this video and pray for me😅🙏🏾
Oh, Yolisa! You get it. Your experiences speak to why making the fast about the food steers us away from God's blessings rather than toward Him and His revelations. You are His treasure and I am so glad that you are experiencing Him. That truly is what He wants and what biblical fasting is all about! Be blessed, beautiful woman of God!
This was a great video... I would like to add... fasting is also spiritual warfare. We are coming in the front lines with the enemy, and he is not happy. When we fast we are getting spiritually stronger. As we wrestle not with flesh and blood. Thanks for your video. I needed to see this.
“Learn how to trust God. Learn how to only believe.” I truly I love those words, and receive all the blessings of this video. I am also the host of the spiritual discernment imparted, and stand to fully benefit for the kingdom of God, through the Spirit of the Holy One that abides in me. Thank you for obedience.
Thank you, Jesse. Yes, I can tell that your discernment leads in your thoughtfulness and choices. Our God is so very good and as we lean into Him our lives always get better, for us and for Him. Praise God! Be blessed on your fast.
Awe, thank you, Yolanda. God is so very good and I have a responsibility to Him to speak truth. I always try to do my very best for Him and for the people He's called me to serve. I appreciate your encouragement. Be blessed on your fast.
I am so grateful you posted this, I was thinking so much about the food that I realised how frustrated I was getting at myself, those around me & even God. I guess it is all rooted in the heart. Your truthful, warm explanation is something I really appreciate too, it reminded me of the Father! Thank you!
I am on the 12th day of my Daniel fast. I thank God He has taken me through this far in the midst of all temptations and having to cook for family .I have definately done some mistakes you mentioned. I pray that God will guide me to the end. This is my first Daniel fast and am learning a lot of self control
I started my Daniel fast yesterday and faltered today by eating cake at my workplace celebrating one of my patients birthday. I feel so guilty and I can feel the difference in my body based on the changes I made in my food..beans nuts water fruits vegetables brown rice... and only eat one time for the day...ain't giving up I've asked God for forgiveness and will continue tomorrow. Pray for me ya'll so I can stay strong and overcome
Hey its been 6 months, how did it go?
🙏 Asending
it’s been a year… update? ❤️
Hey guys sorry haven't been responding to replies...well, here's the update. Honestly it's been awhile since then. Got so caught up with life and working towards achieving something tho I keep telling myself I'm going to get back I need to get back to that place up to two days ago I was watching a vid online and I said it to myself again but haven't started yet..Tho sometimes there's a little intermittent between but to be truly intune and allow the process to start and be determined and persistent is a bit weak..reason I believe there r somethings about myself that I need to work on but fighting a hard battle to overcome and to stay strong
That's my update
I am on my 5th day of the Daniel fast trusting in God for 5 items spiritual growth, a better job, empower me in my ministry, marriage and against the spirit of rejection.
Please pray with me that God continues to give me strength and encourage me through the holy Spirit. Hallelujah
Matthew 6:16-18 "And when you fast, do not look gloomy like the hypocrites, for they disfigure their faces that their fasting may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received reward. But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, that your fasting may not be seen by others but by your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.
Amen...to God be the glory great things he has done
Amen
YUP. INDEED DO THAT EVERY DAY SO NOBODY KNOWS WHEN YOU ARE FASTING. REMEMBER YOU CAN FAST ANYTHING. YOU CAN FAST A CUP OF COFFEE OR A SLICE OF MEAT, BUT DO IT FOR THE LORD. ITS THE OPPOSITE OF GLUTTONY, THEREFORE IT IS SPIRITUAL.
FOR EVERY DAY YOU FAST, HAVE ALSO FEAST DAYS TO THE LORD AT HIS APPOINTED TIMES! SATURDAY SABBATH IS A FEAST TIME BUT PREPARE THE FOOD THE DAY BEFORE, REMEMBER, NO COOKING ON THE SATURDAY SABBATH!
Not much hope for a brainwashed deluded fool like you do you believe in the tooth fairy
Michael Gallagher - You proved the Bible correct. The Lord said this almost 2000 years ago. Guess he’s not a tooth fairy after all. Thank you for once again proving Jesus right. God Bless you!
John 3:20 - “For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.”
I am currently on the daniel fast but doing it for all of Jan instead of 21 days. The last few days have been a struggle but I'm on day 28 and I know I will finish strong. During this time of fasting, God has revealed incredible truth and revelation in my life! God is so good!!
Dearest Stella. I am so happy for you. God is so amazing and has an endless wealth of wisdom and truth to share with us. I'm so glad you've opened yourself to Him. Be blessed as you complete your fast.
It's so powerful and helpful.
I'm on it, God is sending so many signs on my way.
The Lord is always faithful to the righteous, I'll keep listening to him and follow his law
AMEN
Dang, i can only do 7
This is absolutely right... Fascinating indeed... Daniel fast is not about food but your heart!
Thank you for your post, Esther. Our God is so very good and has so much for us to receive from Him. Our part is to turn to Him and listen for His still, small voice. Be blessed on your fast.
Thanks so much.
He didn't eat pork or shellfish of any kind because of the dietary laws of the Law of Moses these food were unclean and even tho he was in Babylon in the royal court he still didn't want to eat these foods that are unclean according to the Law of Moses he got many blessings!!!!!
@@SusanGregoryAuthor ok thanks you will do
Did many fasts, but not of the heart. finally did one with pure focus on the Lord and was an AMAZING experience, scales removed, a catapult to deeper understanding, and an alertness towards God I never had!! Once you experience the true power, you know it is vital in our spiritual walk!
Oh, such a lovely testimony! Yes, our God is so amazing and is eager to be with us and share His awesome truths. He wants to minister to us and lead us into His way and His truths. Be blessed, dear one. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Please teach me....
Isaiah 58
@@shirleymusubika1676 you tell the Lord you are doing this fast for Him and may He make it pleasing to Himself. We are nothing without Him and when we realize we are incapable and ask Him for His capability, we see Him work and not our own self efforts. Isaiah 58 is the true fast! Ask receive believe give thanks 😊
Wow just read that. A brother told me this as well, but reading it is incredible.😊
Due to me having an eating disorder (in my teenage years), and always being underweight, I am joining a corporate 21 day fast albeit in a more different way. I know that the original fast was vegetarian/vegan, but due to concerns from my parents with me not getting enough nutrients and further affecting my mental health due to me not eating enough, my mom told me fasting is about the heart. I’ve decided to cut out sugary drinks, soda, snacks, and skipping one meal (I only eat 2 meals a day) out of the day, however, still eating meat and having a full dinner with my family. (I know that this qualifies more as intermittent fasting). But I have committed this time to the Lord, and really seek out what He wants to speak to me about. He has spoken so much about my identity in Christ and how loved I am.
That's completely fine lovely, God sees your heart and understands xx
Agree with destiny below. There are either types of fasting as well. You are still crucifying your flesh for spiritual growth. Bless you on your journey
@@destinyxo9535 THATS FINE. GOD UNDERSTAND ALL THAT. HE SEES THE HEART.
Thank you for posting this. I’ve been struggling about starting the fast but too have struggled with an eating disorder in the past. I feel God saying to cut out coffee and you just helped confirm it for me. Thank you again.
Thank you so much for this Kimberly..I have been struggling about fasting these past few days and what do ... personally have an eating disorder..low appetite very under weight for my age been like this since my elementary and I have kids as well ..but still my eating is zero..am praying to God to guide me on this journey and pour my heart out to him as he sees the whole of me
I love how you said that the Daniel fast is not just about the food since here on RUclips everybody is talking about what to eat and what to not eat etc😢… after my day2, I read in Daniel that while fasting we also need to be get on own knees 3times/day humble ourselves in front of God
I’m on the Daniel Fast now and I only eat one time a day and only veggies, peas and beans. Just keeping it simple while worshiping and praying more.
Praise God. Simple and modest is a good way to go. I hope you are receiving the many revelations that God has for you. Be blessed on your fast.
You no what god bless you thats discipline and love right there I believe keep the children of god in prayer pray against the enemy and that the lords will be done on earth you sound like you are one who god will listen too .true worshiper. Love to
Hear this this kind of sacrifice is whats needed today god bless tou
Same once a day after prayer around dinner time
@@yoyolove3296 yes I see so many Daniel fast videos about dishes and recipes that it really takes away from the point of just sacrificing for the Lord.
Same here ,I keep it simple 🙏🏾
God is using you tremendously..This is by far the most beautiful fast I have ever encountered. Some days are hard and filled with the usual doubt but I feel the Holy spirit leading ..It's a new season in Jesus name
Praise God! He is so eager to be near His children. I'm so happy the fast has been a blessing to you. Allowing the Holy Spirit to work in us is life-changing and faith-building. Be blessed!
All praises to God! I completed my 1st Daniel Fast 2 days ago. I kept seeing different elaborate fasting recipes online, but kept the mindset of what Daniel would have had access to. I kept my fasting very simple and felt so spiritually heavy with our God. The morning of my break, I immediately missed my fast, because I didn’t want to lose the ground that I had gained with God. He spoke clearly and showed me things right up until the last hour of the fast. Trust Him, He will bring you through this fast if you want to do it right! 🙌🏾🙏🏾
I did it until day 16 but ate a little meat at a family function.😩 Started again, currently on day two. I did not feel God’s presence how you wrote about it. The video & your testimony were both insightful. Beautiful that you felt God’s presence even in the last hour. What was it like?
I like this video. I’m 17 years old and I just want a simple food meal not with the fancy chia seeds we forgot the whole of the Daniel Fast. Idc how fancy my food is , as long I got food besides the food I need to avoid, I just want to be closer to God and know His will for me❤
Doing this fast as a diabetic..pray strength.
Be blessed on your fast. Be sure to check your BS as usual. You will likely find that your blood sugar levels are lowered and you may need less medication. Be blessed on your fast.
me too
I’m on the 2nd day of a 3 day Daniel fast. But, I’ve given in to a cup of black coffee. Ugh. But, I’m still going forward. 1 meal a day of steamed veggies and bowl of fruit. I’m reading the book of Daniel, 4 chapters every day. Prayer. I’ve got a good headache going on. Love you my family in Christ
God is so very good, Erik. Your Father has so much for you. You are wise to open your heart to Him. Be blessed as you continue your fast.
Jesus bless you, brother
love you too.
I know I'm late but eating almonds can help with headaches/migraines
@@VenekaWithDriveIntoGreatCredit The Daniel diet TEST without meat and sugary wine was only 10 DAYS, and caused fatness (uncorrupted translation). God's laws on eating meat make people strong, healthy and lean, not fat and bloated. Dan1.12,15 “Please test your servants for TEN DAYS, and let them give us vegetables to eat and water to drink. .. 15 And at the end of ten days their features appeared PLEASANT and FATTER in flesh than all the young men who ate the portion of the king’s delicacies.
So true...I just completed 21 days of the Daniel fast.....no sweets, no tv, no meats, dairy...really anything that I love to eat...I ate fruits and vegetables and fish. I woke up each morning and prayed, every evening I prayed and worshipped, throughout the day I listened to the Spirit of God....you will restrict your flesh from the activities of daily life.
God has already begun to answer my prayers and I am truly blessed to have experienced His way.
We are taught about the Daniel fast wrongly. We don't get the fullness of the blessings of God because we are fasting for the wrong reasons.
The Daniel fast doesn't include fish; the protein you eat on a Daniel fast would be nuts, seeds, legumes likes peas, beans, lentils. You can eat whole grains ( not bread) , they have protein in them. Tofu might be processed, so I don't know about that.
I am 1 day away from completing my first daniel fast. I went into this only preparing the day before because my sister wanted to do this together. I have to say my prayer life is becoming more consistent and helping to bring prayer consistently to my marriage. I am actually looking forward to doing this again with more family and friends.
I so appreciate the part about the fact that it is not about pleasing God. It’s like faith, it’s a gift from God so that no man can boast. I believe that going into the fast rightly causes us to experience it rightly. The discipline is for us to draw closer to God. Such a good reminder. Thank you for this!
Blessings to you, Jessica. God provides to much for us and the benefits of walking in the Spirit are truly beyond our natural understanding. We can access so much of what God has for us as we focus on Him during spiritual fasting. I appreciate your message. Thank you and be blessed on your fast.
Amen so true
Starting the 21 day Daniël fast tomorrow. I’ve been struggling with my path and God put it on my heart. Genuinely excited to focus on our Heavenly Father these three weeks, when my relationship with God is strong life is so peaceful and good. 🙏🏻🤍
May GOD most high help you through in Jesus name I pray.amen
@@udokankwocha4080 thank you so much God Bless 🤍🙏🏻
How iss it going?
@@vidhichudasama1393 so far so good thank you!! I sometimes struggle with what to eat but then I remember it’s about the Lord and not the food :). did have a terrible headache the first few days because I didn’t drink caffeine. But that’s long gone and I’m truly trying to focus on getting to know Jesus the next two weeks!
@@demiadira lekker bezig
Thank you! Not only is it not about the food, the people who try to teach people others about the food are using the wrong food. Most of them don't even quote the scriptures.
You are absolutely right! Finally someone is speaking with spiritual experience!
Thank you for your message, Joshua. God is so very good. He calls us to walk in the Spirit and not the flesh and the ways of the world. He blessings are rich and powerful as we choose Him in all areas of our lives. Be blessed and thanks again for taking the time to write.
Kingdom of God. Yes Lord, deny yourself. Sanctification and consecration. Yes Lord.
Be blessed, beautiful woman of God. 💕💕💕
I find this to be the most difficult fast. It really calls for discipline to the flesh which is very hard. However its very rewarding
Yes, you're so right, Tutsiral. The great news is that the fast provides a "real time" bootcamp to learn about yourself and about denying the flesh. You can see how much your flesh has power over you. I believe this is one of the most valuable lessons we can learn on the fast. Be blessed on your fast. And know for sure that your Father loves you and is with you ever step of the way on your fast as you turn to Him.
Day 8 or 9 all I do is crave food it’s annoying, I want to focus on the Lord
Just prayed for you! Keep strong from the enemy’s tricks! Worship, sing, dance... whatever helps you
I find it to be the easiest especially when I add bananas and nuts. I find water fast the most difficult
Your voice is so calming and reassuring. Thank you for this!
You are so welcome! God has placed in me a love for teaching (that is all about Him), because I used to be very shy about public speaking and putting myself out there. But that all changed as leaned more into Him and stopped allowing my "self" to hinder me and the work He wants me to do.
He also gave me this "voice." I never thought about it, but so many people mention it to me. God is good. I praise Him and thank Him for all He is doing for the people who turn to Him. He has been so very good to me.
Thank you, Tasha. I appreciate and thank God for you.
@@SusanGregoryAuthor thanks I'm also not good at speaking in public and I really need God to help me
Thank you Jesus!!! For sending you!! I needed clarity because all the youtube videos is exhausting. I know what I should restrict myself from that I've been indulging in. I drink coffee daily and I haven't been eating so well and I'm so distracted by shopping online and social media, I'm overwhelmed with my job to the point of disinterest (which I know is the attack from the enemy). Im so fsr from my normal connection in Christ, I'm blowing in the wind! I need God all the time and I know when I'm moving on my own occurred; i need direction because I'm wasting time following my own road map.
The way o can relate to/with this comment scared me...
Dearest Kathaine, it seems the Spirit of God (who is within you) is calling you to walk in the Spirit with Him and learn how to deny the flesh and the ways of the world. His invitation is calling you to peace, blessings, love, care, and so much more. We each have the choice and it appears that you are making the choice to turn to Him and experience more of Him in your life. Be blessed and thank you for your heartfelt and very powerful message.
Your comment, "blowing in the wind" reminded me of something Dr. Dharius Daniels said in his sermon today. He spoke at Elevation Church- you should check it out. Many blessings to you. :)
Wow, that’s me right now.....
Going to start this fast tomorrow with my sister. Keep us in prayer 🙏
All the best ❤️
Blessing to you. Yes, I am in prayer for all those on the fast and those who God places in my circles of influence. I hope the very best for you on your fast.
I have started this fast 3days ago and i need a partner to pray with me during this 21day period, thanks for the information.
Today is the last day of the fast for me and my sister. What an awesome experience. 🙏
Your very right on this Ma’am everything you said , especially when you said “This is not about food” , “we shouldn’t eat like it’s a feast”
My mother in law just started the fast. I believe fasting is an important discipline for Spiritual maturity. On this video you mentioned that it should not be done to please God but it can lead to a life of pleasing God more.
Fasting does not automatically please God because motives can be wrong but according to Isaiah 58:5-8 God gives us some good reasons to fast.
Thank you so much for your insightful message, PD.
Yes, fasting is powerful when it's practiced as God intended. But we don't fast to show God our worth or gain approval from Him. Jesus has already done that and He's the only one who can make us righteous before God.
God's word says that He rewards those who diligently seek Him. When we keep our focus on God during the fast, we do please Him and He does reward us. He is so very good.
Very insightful I’m actually in week 3 the last week of my fast... I believe this fast does take discipline because like you said many can get confusing with feastIng due to the fact we are able to eat... but it’s all able fasting, abstaining from food or worldly things for a spiritual connection with our Father... I thank God for the strength to do what has commanded me to do... for those who may thing that can’t just know IF HE CALLED YOU TO IT HE WILL BRING YOU THROUGH IT... Trust God not yourself 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Great to have a personal relationship with the Lord.
God bless you Dear sister for your good words to the people of the world.
You answered my question. ! So Daniel is a vegan diet which honestly takes more time to prep Meals so I was really confused about that because your gonna spend more time in the kitchen ad NOT seaking GOD!
Powerful message... We get so distracted with the food or weight, that we miss out on our experience with Lord.
I've seen so many changes in my Daniel fast, God is doing Miracles in my life, the voice of the Lord is powerful, Good people please learn to listen to the voice inside you its not just a voice its God speaking giving you directions
Praise God. He is so very good and He calls us to His truth and His ways. Be blessed on your fast.
@@SusanGregoryAuthor ❤️
Thank you! This is the first time I’ve fasted and where I understand what fasting “is” but could not implement, comprehend, grasp it ..... in full. I struggled with dishes and then felt like I was losing my connection. After all running to McDonald’s use to take zero effort. But in the kitchen I began spending time with God. And then my flesh would fight again, questioning my fasting. But it was the enemy making me believe I wasn’t connecting with God. I am on week 3 now. And I want to say THANK YOU! The words you spoke so eloquently are answers to my prayers in trying to focus on my true purpose of seeking God while my flesh kept trying for me to break. This last week has been the toughest but it is a sign that God is working in me as I seek Him more and just want to live out my Purpose in HIM for His Glory to reach others. May God Bless You and again Thank You from the bottom of my heart. - Erica
Thank you for sharing your experience
Wow that’s thanks for sharing
I am seeing this just hours before I am starting my Daniel Fast! I am very nervous about it all, but seeing this will be my motivation to do this fast! This is not about the food, but about my heart, about who I am, and in my relationship with Him! I am heading to a retreat with God! Thank you for this!
All the best sister stay in the presence of the lord 🙏 ❤
Thank you for this amazing video. I’m on day 5 of my Daniel fast journey and so far, I’ve been very strong; of course, only through Christ. I couldn’t be happier to be doing the fast as I had been wanting to do it for a while. God bless 🙏🏼
Praise God. Be blessed on your fast. Your Father has so much for you. Thank you for your message. 💕💕
Thank you for this, I've been doing 40 Days FASTING every year but 2021 I felt in my spirit to do Daniel Fast few days ago and this video came in time and it's definitely a confirmation ❤️, I did it once and grew so much SPIRITUALLY.
Praise God! He is so very good and clearly your heart is open to Him and His heart! Fasting is a powerful time of spiritual growth if we keep our focus on Him and keep our souls open to His truths. Be blessed
Amen!!! Thank you so much! Today is my first day of my Daniel fast. I went out and bought Daniel fast approved foods, but I definitely needed to hear this. I’ll definitely keep it simple, and focus on spending my time with God. Thank you. 🙏🏽
Today is my first day and I can admit im so heavily focused on what i can or cannot eat!!! It’s making my head hurt lol so yeah I with you sis keeping it simple and focusing my attention on GOD ✨ praying your fast is effective and life changing GOD bless !!!
Hallelujah, This was God putting me back on track and using you faithful servant to remind me whats its really about! Thank you for your obedience! ❤
God is so very good, Michelle. Thank you for your lovely message and I praise our Father that He used me to serve you! Be blessed on your fast.
This was right on time! Thank you GOD
I'm so very glad the message was helpful for you. God is so very good and He has so much to share with Him people as we put our trust in Him.
Starting sunday🙏🏾
Hi, from Pretoria, South Africa. I bought your book as a birthday present to myself in 2015. But this is the first time I'm preparing for this 21 day Daniel fast. I fast regularly every Friday until 4pm and Sunday until 12pm. As far as possible... I accept Jesus' invitation to come to Him. Starting 1 July 2024, my birthday month.
Amazing video! This is my first time doing the Daniel fast, I’m on the second day! Great information and much needed reflection.
It’s not about the food, it’s about the connection with God almighty.
Thank you, God bless you!
I’m on the Daniel fast too day 3
Yes I'm doing it
Day 6
I am actually 2 days away from completing my 21 day fasting and this was my first time. However I didnt do any research prior to but along the way I did research an now discovering things I was supposed to know from before. My advice to anyone reading is plan b4, know what you are to do an allow God to do the rest. I find myself now praying more times a day even though I work full time b4 I eat my fruits I pray. This journey will help me later on so that I can continue with the lifestyle of praying more and not partaking in too much junk food after my fasting.
Third day on the Daniel Fast and a breastfeeding mom. Thank you for this
Be blessed, lovely woman of God.
Hey Danielle.
I am starting tomorrow and I also breastfeed. I am a bit concerned though if this will be okay for my body.
My baby is big (over 1year) and she doesn't breastfeed that much but still.
How is your experience?
Looking forward to hearing about it 😊
So well done! Spot on. Thank you for saying it, “it’s not about the food!”
God bless you Susan. I love your spirit!
Thank you so much, Jean. Our God is so very good and I thank Him for giving me this work.
I appreciate your encouraging words. !
Be blessed on you fast.

I agree with the simplicity of the fast. I've never tried this fast yet but when I do would rather eat the foods fresh. Fruits, vegetables, raw nuts, & salads. Thank you for the clarity of purpose of the fast. God bless you.
I am on Day 7 and I just saw you video it truly Blessed me I Thank God for you keep keeping on in Jesus Name
Heart posture and to desire to be filled with his word and to listen to him.
wow, this is so so timely. no way i just so happen to come across this video, because im currently doing Daniel fast now. however, it has been about the food for me and i have been breaking fast every day...
Hello Hui. The good news is that now that you know better you can do better. Be blessed as you focus on the Lord and His ways and minimize attention on the food. God is so very good.
Wow im an avid coffee drinker ending day 3 of the daniel fast, and you pinpointed exactly what my bodys been going through. Leg cramps so bad, headaches, and horrible fatigue. Had no idea i had to ween from coffee. Thank you for this information
The good news is now that you know you can do better next time. Be blessed on your fast. God has so much for you. 💕💕💕

Pls pray my strenghth in the lord to be Obedience.and TRULY SURRENDING ALL TO GOD!
Amen in Jesus name
I have been thinking of Daniel fast since last month, just after i finished my Esther fast, Daniel fast came into my mind, kept seeing videos about it, now been watching videos since last night want to start tomorrow. So help me God💜🙏
Thank you. I’m preparing for my very first Daniel fast and I’m so excited for what I know is going to be life changing for me. This is the first place God sent me in preparation. Thank you and God bless you!!
Thank you God for your reassurance❤️ I started fasting 12 days ago. I first received I should fast social media. So a week prior to fasting I slowly went off social media. And a day before my fast I felt I should fast meat and just stay away from any fast foods I usually enjoy on the weekends. But then I heard my brother was doing the Daniel fast. And I felt maybe I should just fast dairy too. I already eat gluten free and very wholesome foods. Because I have food sensitives,
But I just went full force. I was feeling great and doing great up until two days ago.
I became very fatigued. Super tired. And yesterday and my blood sugar dropped and I almost fainted 🥺 And I had to eat eggs. And drink some milk. I felt like I was brought back to life. Last night I felt so guilty. But I also know my health is important and I’m constantly moving and I workout. I asked God to forgive me. I didn’t want to just fast in vain. And that’s been a repetitive prayer, on my heart, for about a few days. Prior to almost passing out. And this video just brought me so much reassurance. It’s about the heart, not about the food. I know you know my heart lord. I will better prepare myself next year. I’m still fasting meat. And social media. And the fast food I love to eat on the weekends. Just now instead of vegan, it’s vegetarian. Again I know now it’s not about the food. And I kept hearing that as well, but didn’t quite understand until today. After the experience I had and having Asked God for reassurance. Since I did feel guilty.
I want to start the Daniel fast from the 8th this year but it's my first time and my heart is telling me that i should do it but only with water so please keep me in prayer its my first time blessing to you
Thank you Lord for showing me this video before I’m starting my fast tomorrow
Thank you Jesus it is about the word of God, prepare yourself to the spiritual thing for the things of the kingdom of God, you are right sister, God open the eyes of your people to no as to fast and pray. Thank you
Be blessed on your fast, Mary. Thank you for your message. Be blessed as you continue to grow in the love and knowledge of Jesus.
Greetings. I am glad I took the time to look at this video. I am using the workbook and journal and while writing down one of my desires for today, God's answer led me to find support online. A couple of other people were set to do this together; however, it has not worked out so far. I've always wanted to do this; so when I was asked to do it in the group, I was excited. Even though the group thing has not worked out so far, I believe that the invite was simply God's way of opening the door. The sacrifice of my flesh is what appeals to me the most, as does not eating flesh. Hope that makes sense. I am grateful that you listened to The Most High and took the action to write the book. I have directions/vision/gifts that I have been holding in for a long time. I am on day four and I can already see how this discipline gives my soul the release it needs to be my highest self...the self God intended all along. Love and blessings to all❤
Thank you. The part people ignore while on a Daniel's fast: No Choice Foods.
Thank you for the information. I only started a week ago. But what you have presented brings a whole new perspective to what I am committing myself to. To be honest this first week has been about how and what do I eat more than the time set aside to draw nearer. I didn’t realize that til watching this
God is so good, Sonia, and how that you know better you can do better. Seek God on your fast as you learn more about yourself and your relationship with Him. He treasures you and you give Him pleasure as you walk with Him in the Spirit. Be blessed, dear one .
Needed more clarification on this fast thank you. It was put on my heart to do it but i haven’t been preparing my body nor the study material to read. Also i definitely felt convicted because i was focused on what not to eat instead of getting closer to God ...heart was in the wrong place. Thank you so much Susan! God bless and keep waking in your purpose
Thank you! I needed to hear this! It's my first time doing the Daniel. (starting this week) and I see people on RUclips making videos about all the food they buy and all the recipes they try, and I think to myself "doesn't this defeat the whole purpose of a FAST?" I think that if, for medical reasons, you can't do a full blown water fast, then the Daniel fast would be a substitute so that you can have a few fruits and veggies during the day, but not to go all out! From what I understand, a fast is done so that we substitute physical food for spiritual food.
Thank you for sharing THAT the Danielle fast is about getting closer to GOD AND JESUS HIS SON THANK YOU SO MUCH
“I like to think of the Daniel fast as entering into a personal retreat with God”. I love that! That gives me a whole new perspective on biblical fasting! I have only done 2 other legitimate biblical fasts before and I can say that I was more focused on denying myself of fleshly desires. However the other important part of the equation is filling yourself with God and setting aside more intimate time with him!
I'm on day 6. I feel like giving up. I didn't prepare, I'm addicted to sugar. I'm feeling very crazy, if I could have bread it would help. Idk if I'm praying/reading enough -I try for 3X a day. I speak to God throughout the day but I feel like nothing is happening. It makes me feel like I'm doing it wrong.
I am on day 7 of the Daniel fast, and your video has truly blessed me. Thank you for this!
Thank you women of God...you are yielded. I am so humbled by your guidance. Thank you God. In Jesus name.
You are so very welcome, beautiful woman of God. Be blessed as you draw near to God and experience even more of his amazing love. Thank you for your encouraging comment. 💕💕💕
Thank you for this eye opener
I am on my day 3 I thank you for boosting my faith and the guidance till I finish my 21 days
This is what l have been searching for for so long. I am impressed with the true meaning of a Daniel fast and want to do it correctly. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. There is so much misinformation out there and methods of what a fast ( biblical )means.
Thank you for pointing this out. I’ve felt very weak during this fast. I’m seeking God for healing direction and for concentration.
I needed this confirmation. I’m wanting to do the Daniel fast but so many videos are about the food . I’m a chef so I can hook up the most restrictive of diets but I was wanting something more simple. “ I ate no choice food” so I figured it should be extremely simple, humble meals .
Thank you so much Susan for clarity. Not all RUclips videos of Daniel’s fast is valid. I like how specific you said it’s not about food. Which truly isn’t. Thanks again and God bless you.
Thank you. I was convicted earlier about the way I’ve been fasting and now this video has confirmed it. God bless you
Thank you for making this video. I’ve always done the Daniel fast alone and i don’t care what i eat. But this time God has been waking up my Husband and he has joined the fast with me but he is sooooo picky about food that i started going crazy. Watching your video just REMINDED me why i began this fast! 🥺 Thank you for this video!
Thank you for this video, God bless you. I’ve just started the fast and I did some research because I didn’t know where to start from and all I could find was meals and food prepping and replacements. I’m glad I’ve come across this video because I was in doubt and I started to think isn’t this wrong? Isn’t a fast supposed to be spending quality time with God and enhancing our faith. This video has confirmed any doubts I had. It’s confirmed to me that the Daniel fast is not about the food and food replacements. It’s about filling our spirits with the words of the Lord.
This came right on time as am about to start with my Daniel fast ,am grateful l came across it
May it go well ☺️
I am so happy for you, Keneiloe. God is so very good. Be blessed as you draw nearer to Him.
@@SusanGregoryAuthor can you use salt and pepper seasoning on the Daniel fast?
I am embarking on a fast and I’m so glad I found this video. There are so many things that I don’t know and I need God to teach me and guide me. I want to be closer to Him and get to know Him.
im so glad your making this video. ive been fasting for years as a millennial. and i have never done the Daniel fast ive only done dry fast but since being on dialysis Daniel fast is better for me and i could not believe all the youtube videos of the recipes more on Daniel fast than actually preparing! i thank you so much for this. i want to fast but i don't have an objective yet so will prepare first.
Totally totally agree with the concept of small, simple meals for the fast. The word says Daniel ate no choice foods. I intend to eat Oats with water, fruit and vegetables, water to drink and at the most hot water with lemon. And eating Just enough to take of the edge of the hunger and drinking just enough to not be dehydrated. Thank you for this video
Thanks for sharing your truth about the Daniel fast I thinking of doing it🙏🏼😇
Thank you for sharing about the terrible leg cramps. It was only one nite but I have never had anything like that. I thought it was a spiritual attack. Fasting has been difficult for me. I am learning to trust God more; as well as the benefits of getting to know my father better. He is lovingly showing me myself as I surrender to the love. Good teaching . It’s about God .
Lovely video, thanks. As soon as I recovered from Covid I'm going grocery shopping so I can go vegan for 30 days and so the Daniel fast. I'm all excited. I've been longing for the Lord and I know this fast is key.
This has been so helpful as I prepare to fast
Praise and honour God for you! Nothing is to hard for him , 🌎🙏🏽💓 ♾️
Blessed are thee King of the Universe
Which is, which was, and which is to come! The Almighty 🙌🏽
Thank this is the first time I tuned in to this awareness in simplicity. Truly lead by the Holy spirit. Thank you for the change.
God is so good, Nancy. Stepping into the fasting experience as the spiritual discipline God designed fasting to be is a blessing with so many priceless rewards. Be blessed as you continue to pursue Him and His truth.
I hope alot of people get to see this before watching this Daniel fast always seemed to sophisticated but now my eyes are open anyone whose heart is set on having an encounter with God can do this
Thank you day 2 for me
So guilty😭😭 I just had a wake up call😞💔!!! Thank you for your information so very helpful and encouraging to do better and focus on the spiritual way of doing thing's right. Blessings🙏
Thankfully you can put the guilt behind you as you now you know. When you know better you can do better and all is well. Be blessed on your fast and thank you for your great message. God is so very good!
AMEN ❤️, I'M THANKING GOD FOR IS DISCIPLINE.
Ma'am, you stated this so eloquently. Wonderful job! Amen and God bless you!
Thank you so much! I am so glad you found the message helpful. Be blessed.
Thank you so much. Last year I made it about the food and I really missed out on my experience with God becauseI would think about what kind of interesting meal I can make with all the ingredients i bought😓. I really feasted, it didn't even feel like a fast. This year I prepared and this video has actually helped me a lot, our church is on day 2 now so I'm glad I caught this at the beginning of our fast. Now that I'm doing it properly, I must say it's quite challenging, but even in these two days I've already seen how much I've catered to my flesh, this going to be quite a tough spiritual discipline for me but I really need it. Thanks again for this video and pray for me😅🙏🏾
Oh, Yolisa! You get it. Your experiences speak to why making the fast about the food steers us away from God's blessings rather than toward Him and His revelations. You are His treasure and I am so glad that you are experiencing Him. That truly is what He wants and what biblical fasting is all about! Be blessed, beautiful woman of God!
This was a great video... I would like to add... fasting is also spiritual warfare. We are coming in the front lines with the enemy, and he is not happy. When we fast we are getting spiritually stronger. As we wrestle not with flesh and blood.
Thanks for your video. I needed to see this.
“Learn how to trust God. Learn how to only believe.” I truly I love those words, and receive all the blessings of this video. I am also the host of the spiritual discernment imparted, and stand to fully benefit for the kingdom of God, through the Spirit of the Holy One that abides in me. Thank you for obedience.
Thank you, Jesse. Yes, I can tell that your discernment leads in your thoughtfulness and choices. Our God is so very good and as we lean into Him our lives always get better, for us and for Him. Praise God! Be blessed on your fast.
I love her she is so honest
Awe, thank you, Yolanda. God is so very good and I have a responsibility to Him to speak truth. I always try to do my very best for Him and for the people He's called me to serve.
I appreciate your encouragement. Be blessed on your fast.
Just learning about the Daniel fast. Great info. Will do it tommorow.
Thank you for bringing the fear of God in the conversation. ❤️
That was extremely helpful, thank you very much 🙏
I am so grateful you posted this, I was thinking so much about the food that I realised how frustrated I was getting at myself, those around me & even God. I guess it is all rooted in the heart. Your truthful, warm explanation is something I really appreciate too, it reminded me of the Father! Thank you!
I am on the 12th day of my Daniel fast. I thank God He has taken me through this far in the midst of all temptations and having to cook for family .I have definately done some mistakes you mentioned. I pray that God will guide me to the end. This is my first Daniel fast and am learning a lot of self control
