21-Day Fasting Guide

(Choose one)

Daniel Fast (Option #1)

  • Week One:  Fruits and Vegetables (Lots of Water)
  • Week Two:  Fruits and Vegetables (Lots of Water)
  • Week Three:  Liquids (Lots of Water)

While everyone is encouraged to seek the Lord on how they are too fast, please consider the suggested model of fasting by eating only fruits and vegetables (weeks one and two) and all  liquids, meaning 100% fruit and/or vegetable juices (Store bought or by juicing through blender and so forth) and water. (week three). Remember to limit or avoid television, electronics, or any other distraction that may  dampen your spiritual focus. For maximum spiritual benefit, set aside  ample time to be alone with the Lord and write your thoughts from the daily devotions. Listen for His leading. The more time you spend with Him, the more meaningful your fast will be.
