Daniel Fast: 7 Steps To Success

This week I'll be doing a blog series on "Daniel Fast: 7 Steps To Success". Click here to learn more about our fast.

Most of this information is from the book “Fasting For Spiritual Breakthrough: A Guide to Nine Biblical Fasts” by Elmer L. Towns. Not on the fast? It's never too late! Join us for this final week and you will discover that this is something you can do. Fasting combined with prayer, can lead to a great spiritual breakthrough in your life.

Why live the same old life, facing the same old problems? Begin Moving Forward in 2008 by disciplining yourself and humbling yourself before the Lord.

Daniel Fast: 7 Steps To Success:



STEP #1- BE SPECIFIC Daniel was not vague in his objection to the Babylonian diet. He defined the problem immediately.

1. The king’s food was against dietary laws.
2. Daniel and his friends had vowed against wine.
3. The king’s food had been offered up to idols/demons.

STEP #2 - FAST AS A SPIRITUAL COMMITMENT The Daniel Fast involves a spiritual commitment to God. “Daniel proposed in his heart that he would not defile himself” (Dan. 1:8).
