Fast
Daniel
January 8th-28th
21 Days of Prayer and Fasting
Starting January 8th
TFA Church, We are so excited to start this Daniel’s Fast as a church family! James 4: 8 teaches us that if we draw near to the Lord, He will draw near to us. And so over the next 21 days, as we draw close to the Lord, we can expect to experience his presence & transforming power in a lasting way. This is also our opportunity to set our hearts in worship to the Lord and to make Him our priority for 2023. We believe that not only will God move in our lives individually, but that as a Church Family we will have testimonies of God’s faithfulness. TFA, let us unite in heart, mind & spirit this month as we seek God through prayer & fasting.

WHAT TO PRAY FOR
3 WAYS TO FAST
WHAT IS THE DANIEL FAST
The Daniel Fast is based on the prophet Daniel’s fasting experiences as recorded in the Bible. The fast is a biblically based partial fast. According to Daniel chapter 1, the results were: (v. 17) learning, skill, wisdom and spiritual understanding, (v.19) favor and better appearance.
In Daniel chapter 10, the fast resulted in: (vv. 11-12) answered prayer and spiritual insight. One of the great things about the Daniel Fast is that you are not limited to any specific amount of food, but rather to the kinds of food you can eat.
