I really liked the part about the daniel fast being one to do in search of understanding/wisdom and a liquid fast being in search of power. It really helped that you backed it all up with scripture too. Thank you for sharing!! I was on the fence on what fast to do myself but this has really cleared it up for me! Blessings to you
I think much of fasting and prayer is us letting go of ourselves and fully depending on God and seeking Him first, through obedience. If we fall to our knees and pray, together with cleansing our bodies from refined sugars and such, God will clear our mind and thoughts and we will be ready to hear Him speak to us through His Word and listen to His guidance.
Great insights Brian, thank you for sharing this. We're embarked on a 21 day liquid fast right now and are looking forward to God breaking through some immovable circumstances. However, it's great to hear someone expounding on the differences between the fasts.
Came across this teaching, looking for Videos on The Daniel Fast, that were biblical I will have to say, I was surprised, that this was a really good teaching and I believe the LOrd led me here, to get some insight, I didn't see before Thanks for the upload and God bless
Oh wow, I have never heard this before. I didn't even know different fasts do different things. This is so cool. I've been led at times to do a Daniel fast but felt like maybe its not as effective. Knowledge is power. Thanks Brian. You have just opened up something so profound to me.
Thank u so much, I had to listen x2. To make sure no stone unturned. Every time I think I got it the HS takes me back to baby class, what a teacher He's the HS. Blessings brother
wow! Here were are again, after going through my videos and seeing what needed to be cleared out and it seemed like it has been years I don't know who will read this, but I am amazed to have been introduced to Liz Wright's teachings and Eric Gilmore and I have been surprisingly blessed and brought to a new awareness of God Praying for all those that would watch this on the replay and need a word of encouragement or just need to know someone is praying for you now, as you read by faith in Jesus Christ mighty name!
funny this popped up in my recommended… i don’t have a healthy view of fasts and earlier at work i thought “ really what’s the point of the daniel fast and what even is it?” always seen fasting under a christian performance lenses and i’ve had it with religion/performance and i want to put on a new mindset about fasting. thanks brian.
Hi Brian. I have a more practical question related to the Daniel fast, since I want to start it and there are many variations out there. What type of foods do you eat and.. raw or cooked? Thank you very much. Your videos are a huge blessing for me.
I'd like to know your opinion about the exact nature of this fast, is it supposed to be vegetable only, or is it enough not to eat sweets or any other alternative, as they teach us?
Beautiful_N Flawless :) thank you for responding to my question. I know what the book of Daniel says about Daniel's fast, but I was more interested in Brian's opinion about it and how he personally does it, since many people practice variations, e.g. not eat sweets/coffee/whatever they usually like. I believe the Daniel doesn't give us the exact formula for this fast, but rather one of the ways to approach it. What do you like to do, if you do Daniel's fast?
Tomas Hrubovcak well since I have a sugar habit I get rid of sugar cause sugar is my weakness and you have to remember you're denying your flesh! Sweets are not allowed in the fasting! Daniel refrained from fasting while on it cause it's a distraction! And figure out what God wants you to fi during your fasting not how Brian does be genuine in your fasting! It's all about seeking the lord for wisdom :)
Tomas Hrubovcak I do a lot of research on vegan food it helps a lot! Fast and pray read scriptures and eliminate distractions! Indulge your self in worship music to help you get through when temptation comes! Before U go shopping make sure you clear out your fridge though lol so u won't mix your fasting food with regular food
I'm not an expert or experienced in this area, but I also go to vocational college and did a normal fast for a day and nobody recognized anything. Except God. Our times of fasting are known before heaven. They are revealed before God, even if nobody else recognizes it.
I did the daniel fast for 4 days, I noticed God dealing with my heart, in the hours I spent with him, then day 3 I got a ton of energy and was distracted by busy work around my house. I feel like I kind of failed. I just havent felt that energy in a long time, but I felt obsessed with cleaning. Do you have any advice? I feel like a little kid spiritually!
I just have the impression, that God sees your heart. He's not mad on you because you cleaned the house. He's proud of you and he sees your heart. He loves you. ❤
