SUMMARY:The 21 Day Daniel Fast for OWBC
DESCRIPTION:\nOne Way Baptist Church\nSamuel L Buhl, Sr., Senior Pastor\nAnnual\n“21-Day Prayer and Fasting”\n“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).\nThe intention of the modern-day Daniel Fast is not to duplicate exactly what Daniel did but the spirit in which he did it.\nPreparing for Our 21-Day Prayer and Fasting\nTake time to study passages in the Bible that have to do with fasting. It will help you gain insight on people fasted, the ways God responded to their prayers, and what God requires of His people on a fast. Suggested passages are Isaiah 58, 2 Chron. 20:1-4, Ezra 8:21-23, Neh. 1:1-4, Est. 4:15-17, and Matt. 4:1-11.\nJanuary 5 – January 25\nThe Daniel Fast is an opportunity for us as a church, and individually, to draw closer to God through fervent, focused prayer. Family, as we prepare to enter this sacred season of prayer and fasting, it’s important that we do so wisely, prayerfully, and intentionally. Fasting is not about punishment or perfection—it’s about positioning ourselves to hear God more clearly.\n1. Prepare Your Heart (Spiritual Readiness)\n\nBegin praying now about why you are fasting.\nAsk God to reveal areas that need surrender, healing, clarity, or renewal.\nSet clear spiritual goals: direction, discipline, deliverance, gratitude, or deeper intimacy with God.\nRemember: fasting without prayer is just dieting—prayer is the focus.\n\n2. Decide Your Fast (Personal Commitment)\nNot everyone fasts the same way. Choose what you will give up prayerfully and realistically:\n\nDaniel fast (fruits, vegetables, water)\nPartial fast (one or two meals a day)\nMedia fast (social media, TV, unnecessary screen time)\nSugar, caffeine, sweets, or specific foods\nCombination fast (food + media)\n\nThe goal is sacrifice that creates space for God, not harm to your body.\n3. Prepare Your Body (Physical Wisdom)\n\nIf you’re fasting food, ease into it—start reducing heavy foods, sugar, and caffeine.\nDrink plenty of water.\nIf you have medical conditions, take medication, are pregnant, or have health concerns—please consult your doctor and modify your fast as needed.\n\nGod honors obedience, not risk.\n4. Set a Prayer Plan (Daily Discipline)\n\nChoose a consistent time each day to pray.\nRead Scripture daily—even short passages.\nKeep a journal to write what God reveals.\nReplace what you remove (food, media) with prayer, worship, and the Word.\n\n5. Expect Resistance — but Stay Focused\n\nYou may feel tired, distracted, or tempted to quit—this is normal.\nStay encouraged and stay connected.\nDon’t compare your fast to anyone else’s.\nIf you stumble, don’t stop—just keep going.\n\n6. Go In With Expectation\n\nExpect clarity.\nExpect conviction.\nExpect confirmation.\nExpect growth.\nExpect God to meet you right where you are.\n\nFamily, this fast is not about being seen—it’s about being set apart. We believe God is going to speak, strengthen, and shift things during these 21 days.\nLet’s go in humble, hungry, and hopeful.\nIf you want help with food, you can find three weeks of meal plans in The Ultimate Guide to the Daniel Fast.\n\n
