The Fast of Daniel
What is the Fast of Daniel?
The Fast of Daniel is based on an event described in chapter 10 of the book of Daniel, where for 21 days, Daniel decided to fast to find favour, wisdom and understanding from God.
“During these 21 days, we isolate ourselves, avoiding any secular information, sports, fun, and entertainment; that is, anything that will take our focus away from God. It is hard because people normally want to be well-informed. But during these 21 days, they will distance themselves from the information of this world, and only be informed about the things that happen in the Kingdom of God,” Bishop Macedo explains.
Nowadays, amongst the list of things that get in the way of our relationship with God, distractions are ever-present, and they come in all forms of entertainment and secular information that constantly bombard us. The Lord Jesus said: “He who has ears to hear, let him hear!” (Matthew 13:9). That’s exactly what the Fast of Daniel is for – to open our ears to the voice of God.
