Fasting is not about earning God’s favor—it is about positioning your heart to hear Him clearly. Choose a fast that is prayerful, sustainable, and Spirit-led.

Suggested Fasts

• Daniel Fast (fruits, vegetables, whole foods, water)
  
  
• Modified Daniel Fast (Daniel foods + limited grains or one protein)
  
  
• Daniel Fast + One Meal a Day
  
  
• Media Fast (fasting social media, entertainment, or news)
  
  
• Combination Fast (food + media)
  
  

Important: If you have health conditions, consult a medical professional and modify as needed.

The Daniel Fast was first observed by the prophet Daniel in the Bible. Scripture gives us some insight (such as in Dan. 10:3) into what Daniel ate and didn’t eat; however, we don’t know his complete menu. On one occasion, Daniel was greatly concerned for his people and sought the Lord’s wisdom during a time of prayer and fasting.

“At that time I, Daniel, mourned for three weeks. I ate no choice food; no meat or wine touched my lips (Dan. 10:2-3).

Most commentaries believe “choice food” would have been bread and sweets. The Message paraphrase sums up Daniel’s eating habits during that time: “I ate only plain and simple food.”

You’ll find some variation in the specific guidelines for the modern-day Daniel Fast, as far as what foods are included and which ones are restricted. The intention of the modern-day Daniel Fast is not to duplicate exactly what Daniel did but the spirit in which he did it. Daniel’s passion for the Lord caused him to hunger and thirst more for spiritual food than for physical food, which should be the desire of anyone choosing to participate in this type of fast.

Try not to get too hung up on the food portion of the fast. The guidelines are given to help you form boundaries, not to push you into legalism. Your fast may look a little different than someone else’s, and that’s fine. Some people may need to be stricter than others in their food choices so that their fast is a sacrifice for them. The most important part of the Daniel Fast is that you deny yourself physically so that you may seek the Lord in prayer and grow closer to him.  (excerpt take from: Kristen Feola - Ultimate Daniel Fast

Fasting doesn’t make God move—it positions us to receive.
What you have carried in prayer, you will bring forth in power.
“What God has ordained cannot be stopped.”

Wow! It is hard to put into words a first time visit to the Holy Land. I was so blessed to be able to go. I am confident that the Lord blessed all those to whom we had the honor of ministering.

Global Missions Project is the amazing organization I have had the opportunity to minister with on my primary instrument, trombone, in nine nations over the past twenty years! I thank God for GMP. I encourage you to learn more about them here.

Thanks to your generosity young students were inspired and engaged by our music. And while we couldn’t speak directly about Jesus to some of them - the love of Yeshua poured through not only our music in our concerts but also through every personal one on one interaction we had with them.  

A Messianic Russian Jewish Church and an Arab Christian Church were encouraged and ministered to by our presence, more so by the presence of the Holy Spirit through us. It was greatly impacting to see their passion for worshiping Jesus amidst frequent turmoil, conflict and hardship.

A highlight for me were the precious Holocaust survivors we performed for in Natanya and Jerusalem at the Friends of Zion museum.

Through one of the local ministries that hosted us we heard testimony of many Jews coming to faith in Yeshua Hamashiach.

Thanks to you and your generosity - I walked where Jesus walked. I was able to pray for Israel and for the peace of Jerusalem while being right there in the Holy Land. The Lord spoke so dearly to my heart and He gave me an even greater appreciation and heart for His chosen people and His land of promise.

Thank you for the opportunity you gave me. And thank you for sowing seed that undoubtedly will go into your heavenly bank account. I pray that the Lord blesses you greatly as a result!
