We appreciate you taking the journey with us on this 21 Days to the Acceptable Fast. Isaiah 58 shows us the necessary ingredients for an acceptable fast. We pray that once you are finished you have matured after time well spent in prayer and fasting that will be the catalyst that will transfiorm their entire year..
There are so many reasons to pause and give ourselves to fasting at this time, so here are just a few:
-
It’s the start of a new year! Fasting (and prayer, as we will discover) is a great foundation for new beginnings
-
In Ezra 8, a fast was called to know the mind and will of God for the leaders and their families. We want to know the will of God for our lives!
-
They were also fasting for God’s help, and brothers and sister, we need HIM now more than ever.
-
We are desiring to draw closer to God, the first part of James 4:8 says, “Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you.” The greatest benefit of drawing close to God in fasting is that he will respond in drawing close to us.
Join us and see what happens!

THE FAST WE'RE DOING - INSPIRED BY DANIEL
There are several ways to fast and this year we are starting off with what is referred to by many as The Daniel’s Fast.
Some scriptural references are: Daniel 1:8, 12, 15 and 10:2-3
"...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
Our Daniel’s Fast consists of eating with certain restrictions: No breads, no meat, no sweets, no sodas, coffee tea, etc. You can follow that pattern or choose an acceptable fast because the priority is doing something for 21 days.
Share the Lamb Ministries does have a fasting resource that you can request by completing the form at the bottom of the page.
There has to be first a devotion - What are you willing to give up? What are you willing to give God in faith that Gof will give to you.
In addition to total devotion to his God, that devotion was observed by others and yielded great results for this man, Daniel.
Daniel 5:12 - "Forasmuch as an excellent spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, interpreting of dreams, and shewing of hard sentences, and dissolving of doubts, were found in the same Daniel..."
Daniel 5:14 - "I have even heard of thee, that the spirit of the gods is in thee, and that light and understanding and excellent wisdom is found in thee."
Daniel 6:3 - "Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit was in him; and the king thought to set him over the whole realm."
As we embark upon a whole new year, we want to have the best spirit, God’s wisdom and his favor in every area of our lives.
