A Daniel Fast Cookbook for Life
God first commanded fasting in Old Testament scripture.
The ‘Day of Atonement’ (Lev 16:29-31, 23:26-32, Numbers 29:7) was a required fast.
The terminology used was to ‘afflict one’s soul’. Fasting was something that was done physically for a specific spiritual purpose.
As we fast today we can also benefit spiritually in a variety of different ways.
Fasting in the dietary sense is an abstinence from food and even water for short periods of time.
Fasting can be done as a ‘complete fast’, ‘partial fast’, or even a juice fast.
A fasted lifestyle is such an awesome component to add to our lives.
There are so many benefits that can be derived from this discipline, spiritually and physically.
A Daniel Fast
A Daniel fast is a partial fast consisting of vegetables, fruit, grains, legumes, nuts and seeds.
We find in the book of Daniel he chose to ‘fast’ as it were with two different methods. The first method fruits and vegetables, the second method consisting of no meats or pleasant breads.
In Daniel 1:10-20 Daniel requested that he be allowed to eat vegetables and water for ten days so as not to defile himself with the portion from the kings’ table.
Because he chose to eat this way God gave him and the other three young men ‘…knowledge and skill in all literature and wisdom; and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams’ (Dan 1:17)
On a second occasion Daniel chose to fast and pray humbling himself to seek God, and gain an understanding of the vision God had given him.
In Daniel 10:3 we read; ‘I ate no pleasant food, no meat or wine came into my mouth, nor did I anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled.’
On every occasion Daniel humbled himself to seek God, and gain understanding and knowledge.
By ‘afflicting the soul’ he chose to position himself to hear clearly God’s thoughts and ideas towards the present circumstances and the future.
Whenever we choose to fast, and set time aside to seek God’s face and His ways, He ever faithfully draws near to those of a humble and hungry heart.

Isaiah 58:6-9 “ Is this not the fast that I have chosen:
To loose the bonds of wickedness, To undo the heavy burdens,
To let the oppressed go free, And that you break every yoke? Is it not to share your bread with the hungry, And that you bring to your house the poor who are cast out; When you see the naked, that you cover him, And not hide yourself from your own flesh?
8 Then your light shall break forth like the morning, Your healing shall spring forth speedily, And your righteousness shall go before you;
The glory of the LORD shall be your rear guard. 9 Then you shall call, and the LORD will answer; You shall cry, and He will say, ‘Here I am.’
