What can I eat?

The Daniel Fast may be new to some or confusing to others; however, it can be as simple as you choose to make it. As we deny our flesh and feed our spirit, we have provided some recipes to help make this fast easier and more approachable.

These recipes can always be used as suggestions or inspiration more than anything. Make it your own!
When in doubt, remember these four tips to help you stay in bounds with the Daniel fast:
  • No refined and added sugar.
  • No processed foods.
  • No animal products or meats
  • No caffeine (Black tea, coffee, sodas)

Rather than focusing on “What can I eat?” or “What can’t I eat?”, we encourage you to use these recipes as inspiration, allowing you to spend more time on the true purpose of this season: prayer and spiritual growth.

We hope this helps!

By Deacon Dawnette Manus, Chief Intercessor
Tuesday January 3, 2023
And The Lord says, you're going to forget what you're thinking about so you can hear and discern the concerns of my heart. So don't be alarmed when you forget. Stop, look and listen! I am going to disrupt your daily schedule and rearrange everything in your life.
Because when heaven shifts the earth shifts and you must shift with the shift. See that I Am doing a new thing and it will spring forth as you demonstrate my authority in the earth and then you will have the dominion you are entrusted with says The Lord! For it is not by might nor by power but by My Spirit that you will trample over the adder and destroy the plans of the enemy. Your adversary is adamant about destroying my creation and the earth. Know this, he has no authority, he has no domain and he has not been given that permission. Fear not says The Lord! I Am that, I Am. Many distractions are occurring in the earth. DO NOT be deceived! The deceiver is not your friend, he is your enemy. Open your spiritual eyes and I will fill them with clear vision. And as your vision is sharpened so your discernment will be sharpened. Stay in my presence and you will not be dull of hearing and you will not experience blurred vision. You will develop a boldness to hear and speak the truth as I speak through you. Open up your mouth and I will fill it. Trust and believe that I Am with you. I have never left you and I never will. I Am the Vine; you are the branches. This is not a season to cower when the enemy is present. This is a season of dominion. This is a season of authority. It is a season for you to recognize and walk in your authority. Says The Lord. This is a season of separation. I am separating the wheat from the tares. The enemy knows his time is short but My Ekklesia will discern the times in a new way. Says The Lord! There will be no second guessing.
You will know and move and execute says The Lord!
