What is Biblical fast? Why do we fast?

​

The Bible teaches us about fasting and mentions it over seventy times. There are also two types of fasting mentioned in the bible, which are public and private fasts. In this case, we are doing public fasting as a student body. Fasting in the Bible (dry fast) is known as abstaining from food or drink for a specified period of time. It is to focus through prayer, to hear God's voice, and seek His will more clearly. It is a time of concentration and sacrifice, denying our flesh to develop a deeper, closer relationship with God. We come boldly to the throne of faith to connect with God in a more intimate way.

​

What is a Daniel Fast: Spiritual aspect is the same. Regarding the food portion the Daniel fast consists of us abstaining from certain types of foods for a specified period.

​

Guidelines for the Daniel Fast:

​

The Daniel Fast focuses on plant-based foods and eliminates animal products, preservatives, and processed foods. You can enjoy a variety of foods, including:

• Beans and legumes

• Nuts and seeds

• Fruits (fresh, frozen, or dried without added sugar)

• Vegetables (fresh, frozen, or dried without added sugar)

• Whole Grain (Quinoa, Barley, Brown rice, Oats)

• Oils (such as olive, coconut, or avocado oil)

• Herbs, spices, and seasonings to add flavor

• Water Only 

The fast excludes:

• Animal products (meat, fish, eggs, and dairy)

• Processed foods and preservatives

• Sweets such as chocolates, ice cream, and sugary treats

This eating plan encourages nourishing, whole foods that align with the principles of the fast.

Fasting Dates and Times:

​

• The Daniel fast is starting, Friday January 3, 2025 - January 12, 2025, for 10 days. 

• This is a full day of fasting and praying all day. 

Please note: Be led by the Holy Spirit, if you are taking medicine, please seek advice from your physician on how to proceed/ We trust the Great Physician, Jesus, for your complete and total healing! Amen.

Focus Scripture for Fast:

​

Isaiah 58:1-14

1 “Shout with the voice of a trumpet blast. Shout aloud! Don’t be timid. Tell my people Israel of their sins!

2 Yet they act so pious! They come to the Temple every day and seem delighted to learn all about me. They act like a righteous nation that would never abandon the laws of its God. They ask me to take action on their behalf, pretending they want to be near me.

3 ‘We have fasted before you!’ they say. ‘Why aren’t you impressed? We have been very hard on ourselves, and you don’t even notice it!’ “I will tell you why!” I respond. “It’s because you are fasting to please yourselves. Even while you fast, you keep oppressing your workers.

4 What good is fasting when you keep on fighting and quarreling? This kind of fasting will never get you anywhere with me.

5 You humble yourselves by going through the motions of penance, bowing your heads like reeds bending in the wind. You dress in burlap and cover yourselves with ashes. Is this what you call fasting? Do you really think this will please the LORD ?

6 “No, this is the kind of fasting I want: Free those who are wrongly imprisoned; lighten the burden of those who work for you. Let the oppressed go free, and remove the chains that bind people.

7 Share your food with the hungry, and give shelter to the homeless. Give clothes to those who need them, and do not hide from relatives who need your help.

8 “Then your salvation will come like the dawn, and your wounds will quickly heal. Your godliness will lead you forward, and the glory of the LORD will protect you from behind.

9 Then when you call, the LORD will answer. ‘Yes, I am here,’ he will quickly reply. “Remove the heavy yoke of oppression. Stop pointing your finger and spreading vicious rumors!

10 Feed the hungry, and help those in trouble. Then your light will shine out from the darkness, and the darkness around you will be as bright as noon.

11 The LORD will guide you continually, giving you water when you are dry and restoring your strength. You will be like a well-watered garden, like an ever-flowing spring.

12 Some of you will rebuild the deserted ruins of your cities. Then you will be known as a rebuilder of walls and a restorer of homes.

13 “Keep the Sabbath day holy. Don’t pursue your own interests on that day, but enjoy the Sabbath and speak of it with delight as the LORD ’s holy day. Honor the Sabbath in everything you do on that day, and don’t follow your own desires or talk idly.

14 Then the LORD will be your delight. I will give you great honor and satisfy you with the inheritance I promised to your ancestor Jacob. I, the LORD, have spoken!”

The Purpose and Focus of these Fasts:

​

• Deeper intimacy with God individually.

• To hear God's voice for clearer strategies, revelation, and manifestation while at the School of Mantles, Master's Academy.

• Breakthroughs for our family, ministry, church, jobs, and business.

• Forgiveness, repentance, and breakthroughs.

• Health, wholeness, and healing for your spirit, soul, mind, and body.

• Supernatural uprising of true prophetic voices, watchmen, and intercessors in this season who will declare God's truth locally and abroad.

• The United States of America, your nation, city, state.

• Pray for the peace of Israel.

• Live, breathe, worship under an open heaven.

• Pray that any plot, plan, and deception of the enemy will be exposed and dismantled.

​

Some Tips:
