Is this not the fast that I have chosen?
to loose the bands of wickedness, to
undo the heavy burdens, and to let the
oppressed go free, and that ye break
every yoke?
Pray throughout the day for yourself, your growth,
your relatives, your church family, your pastor, our
city, our country and in governmental leadership.
GUIDELINES FOR DANIEL FAST
Study your Bible and apply what you
read to your life.

Media Fast: Limit daily media intake of
TV/Radio to either 2 hours/day or less of
religious programming or news. No
secular entertainment.
OVERVIEW OF THE FAST
The Daniel Fast drastically restricts normal food
intake by cutting away many of the foods you
commonly eat to satisfy your appetite. Usually we
gratify our flesh by eating what we want
whenever we are hungry. During the Daniel Fast,
there will be a sense of hunger much of the time
and a sense of sacrifice even when we eat.
SIDE EFFECTS
You may experience moderate to severe
headaches for the first day or two as your body
rids itself of caffeine, salt, sugar and various
impurities.
IMPORTANT EXCEPTIONS
1. Anyone with a medical condition related
to eating or under the treatment of a physician
must consult their doctor first.
2. Children, especially small children, will
have special needs that must be considered.
Under these conditions, find some sacrifice
in the area of food that can be made without
endangering health.
3. Pregnant women use wisdom and
discretion. If necessary, consult your physician
for the proper foods to supplement a modified
version of the fast.
4. If you have extreme difficulty with the fast,
such as impairment of your ability to work at
your job, you will have to make adjustments.
BASIC GUIDELINES
1. Read the Bible daily. Meditate on what you read
and be fed spiritually.
2. Anoint yourself with Oil. Deut. 28:40; Mark 14:3-9
Anoint your head that you might
think Godly thoughts.

potential.
Anoint your ears that you might hear the
voice of God.
Anoint your nose that you might have
sensitivity and discern what is right
and wrong.
Anoint you mouth so that your all words
would be pleasing to God.
Anoint your hands that you might
work diligently in all of your tasks.
Anoint your feet that you might walk in the
character of Christ.
Anoint your heart so that it might be
good ground for The Word of God.
3. Take Communion when offered. 1 Corinthians
11:23-32, Matthew 26:26-29

10:12. Get use to praying for people daily. Keep a
