Daniel Fast OVERRATED? Why I Fast + Scripture & Quick Meal Ideas #SundaySitdown

What is the Daniel Fast and why do we fast? Let's see what the word says and here are some simple, quick Daniel Fast breakfast, lunch, snack and dinner meal ideas and recipes.

1. Oatmeal Pancakes:
1/2 Cup Oats
1 Banana
1/2 Cup water or Almond/Nut milk

- Add to blender, blend till smooth and batter texture. Pour to a lightly oiled pan (small amounts), turn after 2 or 3mins until it's cooked through.

2. Smoothie:
1 Banana
1/2 Cup Frozen mixed berries
1/2 water
- Blend until smooth, enjoy!

3. Mushroom Breaki:
Fry onion, garlic until soft, then add green bell peppers (optional), once soft, then after mushrooms. Add salt + and pepper 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric for a more curry taste.

4. CousCous salad
Link to the best recipe I have tried (I only leave out most of the spices and tomato paste during the fast)

The rest are mainly roast veg, brown rice (you can make it fried rice with onion and bell peppers for more taste), and potatoes and beans, chickpeas can always be your main starchy (filling) or protein ingredient.

Do it guys! I just completed mine for 21 days and God revealed so much to me :)

[life-agiftthatkeepsgiving]

I am on it for the very first time, it wasn't easy in the beginning, especially the first 4 days but got earlier as I went on... God is faithful, if He made it possible for Daniel and put it out there to our knowledge, He will definitely give us strength and endurance to pull through in this day in age.

I am more disciplined in the things of God, make time for him more and more spiritually grown than before. My communication with God is different and flows differently. I am loving it😇🙏🏽

[kindragkindra]

It elevates our spiritual... The most important is to feed our soul with his powerful word and prayer consistent in HIM 🙌

The energy after the 5th day is unmatched..I love how am feeling

Love this. I had started fasting this month and something said 'stop and redo it at your own time'. I know why I was stopped and didn't even fight it. For me I was taught of how fasting is sacred. People aren't meant to know that you're fasting. Do what works for you and tailor your fast around YOU and not around the fact that everyone is fasting. I understand why you made this video, it's in terms of educating those who do not understand how it works etc, however I hope people understand the depth of Fasting. No one needs to know your fasting period, no one needs to know why you're fasting, what time during the day you spend with God. Initially fasting is a 'secret meeting' with God hence no one needs to know that you're in that period. Great video Mama, loved it.

Daniel first has been my lifestyle all year long for the past 15 years, best decision ever

My favorite quote on prayer and fasting;

“There is a mighty effectiveness in these gospel ordinances of prayer and fasting. The first links us to heaven; the second separates us from earth.

Prayer takes us to the banqueting table of God; fasting overturns the indulgent tables of earth. Prayer allows us to feed on the Bread of Heaven, and fasting delivers our spirits from being encumbered with the fullness of bread that perishes

-Charles Spurgeon”

I am day 15, I started exactly on the 1st


I'm in too strong and trusting God with my life and working on improving my relationships with God.

[gugunkosi]

There is nothing overrated with regards to fasting. As long as it is done with a pure heart and pure intentions.

[Sive_Nyanda]

Love the direction of your channel ❤🤌🏾

[sibongilechabalala]

For me it's not overrated. I'm a testimony of how powerful it is and fast is really just humbling ourselves to God and allowing Him to lead as we kickstart the year. I love how each year there is growth in a number of people joining it.

I'm in day 7 today and I must say when it started it wasn't easy, even reading the Word and praying. The devil is a liar and we almost there guys. Much love❤❤❤❤

This is my 3rd year of doing the DF. I feel that my vision for the year is clearer as I do the fast. I spend time with God and I pen down everything I want. I do see them manifesting throughout the year. Sometimes God reveals things to you but you need that extra push to see them clearly.
The 21 days teaches you to let go of some habits and to usher in great habits for the new year. It also teaches you not to be tempted on earthly things. Sometimes we lose the bone to say "No" so I put myself back in line again by doing the DF as you said "The Flesh is weak".

I talk to God in the morning and at night. Or when I feel off balanced of which happened regularly when I'm fasting (I dont know why).

"At the end of the ten days they looked healthier and better nourished than any of the young men who ate the royal food" The same way Daniel felt after the 10 days I feel exactly like him.
At the end modimo ke star 🌟

First timer doing the Daniel Fast. Your information and encouragement is great wish I found it when I started. I'm doing it for change in my heart mind and soul to be restored back to God coming back to the true heart of worship.

[yangamangisa]

I am in central Europe so it's cold am having smooties though not salads, I am a beliver of beans during this time too. I love chick peas the most❤on day 1 I had withdrawal from tea and coffee😹

I actually don’t mind things being a “trend” especially if they are positive and will build people up. The type of fasting doesn’t even matter that much, the posture and intention is what matters.

Why the beginning of the year? Like you said, it just makes sense 🤷🏽‍♀️. I also think it’s a combination of thanksgiving (for the past year) and a prayer for a clear path and direction (for the new year)

Another aspect of it is that of “first fruits”, dedicating your first few weeks to God, which will hopefully translate into a habit of putting God first.

I absolutely agree with corporate fasts being great. Other people don’t ever get the urge to do it by themselves so doing it together helps.

Kuningi wethu 😭🤣 but I’ll always be a fan of January fasting (and fasting at any other time). Just because something is a “trend” doesn’t make it bad. ❤

[mantombimfumba]

Thank you for narrating the scripture so well.

[Kcmatela]

I believe in the Daniel fast, its honestly between you and God and more than anything, its a heart thing.

[luthomatiwane]

Lol, I’ve always wondered if married couples abstain during fasting 🤣🤣so thanks for mentioning that, putting it my knowledge box for the future 😅

[nonontshakaza]

It’s my 6th day and God is helping me 🙏🙏

[sincerely_sphesihle]

Yes, Yes, Yes. You don't know how much you have refreshed my spirit with this video. 2nd week... Thanks go!!!!
