Daniel Fast Recipes
Over the next few weeks I will add a lot of recipes to this site. For now, click on the Daniel Fast Recipe Category to the left or the submenus for those already uploaded.
But I want to also point out that if you are entering the Daniel Fast as a spiritual exercise, then it’s important to keep food in context. For example, a person I know went on the Daniel Fast for 21 days, but actually consumed more food while on the fast than during non-fast days. The results where improvement in health, slight loss of weight, and very little spiritual growth.
So it’s important to keep the priorities in order and make sure you think through the reasons you are on the fast.

Thanks,

All whole grains are allowed on the Daniel Fast, including oatmeal.
My church family has begun a 21day Daniel fast for the first time.Please provide me with information in order to support my pastor. Our youngest 21 years old son can not find himself after being discharged from the military. They say he has a personality disorder but my son appears mental ill but refuses to want help.
Please pray with my husband and I.
Thanks so much.
Are there any good bean or soup recipes that anyone would like to share? I don’t have any good from scratch ones. Normal ones with normal ingredients, no tofu please.
Hi Justin, Thanks for your question. Before I answer, please understand that I am not a pastor, physician, or theologian. I am a “sold out for Jesus” Christian and in that position give my thoughts about your question
I think the best thing we can do above everything is seek God. I mean really go after Him. I hope you are spending time in His Word each and every day. You know the saying, “There’s power in the Word?” Well, it’s true. There is supernatural power in the Word of God but the only way you can access that power is by spending time reading, praying the Scriptures, and studying.
I encourage you to create a “Secret Place,” where you meet with the Lord every day. Read Psalm 91 and claim every verse that is in it. Pray through it and ask the Lord to meet you and minister to you. I promise you, He longs for a deep and loving relationship with you.
The writer of Hebrews explains in detail about Jesus being our High Priest. That means He is a minister to us and for us. The High Priest whole purpose is to be for the people He serves. Jesus wants you whole and completely well.
Now here is the sticking point. Throughout the New Testament, we learn that if we are to receive the abundant blessings the Lord has for us that we need only to believe. We need to totally trust our lives into the hands of God and believe that He will do everything He says in His Word. If you are like most Christians today (and like I was not too long ago) you have a lot of doubt in your heart. Doubt and fear cancel out faith and hope.
So what is the solution? You need to “grow your faith.” And how do you do that? “Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God.” Spend time with God and His Word. Take EVERYTHING to Him in prayer, including any doubt and unbelief you may have.
Entering the Daniel Fast “as unto the Lord” is a perfect way for you to devote yourself to the Father. Keep Him at the forefront of your mind and in all you do. Tell Jesus you want to know Him as Lord and Healer. Don’t feel self-centered about wanting to be healed. Jesus wants you healed. The truth is, He already healed you on the cross . . . just as He provided everlasting life to anyone who will receive Him when He died once for all . . . He also provided healing. “By His stripes we WERE healed.” 1 Peter 2:24 Again, it goes back to trust.
I received the Lord’s healing after suffering for many years with a chronic disease. It was not an instantaneous healing, but rather one that took place gradually. Why gradual? For me it was because my belief grew gradually. I am now completely healed!
One more thing that might help you as you work through to your healing: read Matthew 17:20-21. When Jesus talks about “this kind does not go out but by prayer and fasting,” most people think He is referring to the demons in the boy the disciples were praying for. But if you examine the context carefully and compare it to other passages about this same situation along with the whole of Scripture, you will see that Jesus was talking about unbelief. Prayer and fasting is the antidote for doubt and unbelief. So study this scripture, then get a mustard seed . . . you might have some in your spice cabinet. If not, invest a few dollars (spiritual learning aid) and buy a bottle at the store. Jesus says that even with faith the size of a mustard seed . . . that we can move mountains! My guess is that you have faith the size of a mustard seed – but the unbelief is canceling it out.
So, back to the beginning . . . this is a perfect time for you to enter the Daniel Fast.
I hope this helps and please feel free to contact me again. I love talking about the Lord!
I have not actually done a Daniel Fast, but have been experiencing a lot of digestive trouble. It seems like most of the foods that I eat right now are those similar to a Daniel Fast. I have been believing for healing throught out my entire body, but I often doubt Gods healing power as I continually go back and forth with digestive troubles. It seems that when I start eating as if I was on a Daniel Fast my body starts to get stronger, then by faith I think “Oh I am healed” so I start eating off that diet and my body goes right back to digestive upset. I guess the point I am trying to get at is that more than once in the bible it talks about eating vegetables and gives the benefits of doing so. I believe God has a purpose in everything that is written in the Bible and I do want to feel better. So how do I fast with the right mind set of doing it for God and not just to be healed? Also If my body is a temple to God then would fasting for healing be for the wrong reasons?
