The Purpose 10 Day Fast 

​

January 11, 2026  at midnight through Wednesday January  21, 2026 at midnight.

 

The purpose of the fast is to deny ourselves as we seek God for direction, deliverance, and healing for ourselves and others. It’s a commitment to God and not people.

 

The spiritual act of fasting is recorded throughout the bible. The prophet Daniel fasted as noted in the following scriptures:

 

“Prove thy servants, I beseech thee, ten days; and let them give us pulse to eat, and water to drink.”   (Daniel 1:12)

 

“I ate no pleasant bread, neither came flesh nor wine in my mouth, neither did I anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled.”  (Daniel 10:3)

 

Jesus also modeled fasting prior to beginning his earthly ministry. (Matthew 4:1-17)

 

During the fast, schedule solitude time daily to read and meditate on the word of God, and to pray. Journal your journey and what God speaks each day. Also, intentionally come aside from pastimes such as social media, social events, etc.  This will allow for more time spent seeking God.

 

Choose one of the following fast options:

1) Complete fast = liquids only; water and herbal tea (unsweetened protein shakes are optional).

 

2) Partial fast (Daniel Fast) = fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts, seeds, and whole grains; water and herbal tea. 

 

It is recommended that you consult with your doctor prior to fasting; if you are on medication, have  underlying health issues, or have never fasted before.
