When I was a young girl, I attended a small Baptist church in Butler, MO. And, when I say small, if we had 50 people in attendance, it was a good day. I loved that little church, though, because that’s where I met the Lord.
Every year or so, our pastor would invite an evangelist to hold a series of special services throughout the week. The purpose of the meetings was to “fire us up” as a congregation. We called it revival.
I enjoyed those revival services, and they usually did result in a temporary spiritual boost. But what I experienced wasn’t true revival.
True revival is a supernatural outpouring of the Holy Spirit that defies explanation. It involves a sudden, intense desire for the Lord and His Word. Believers and non-believers are awakened to the glory and power of God in a fresh way. Prayer becomes more urgent and focused. The lost are radically saved. Miracles abound. Lives are forever changed.
Frank Grenville Beardsley, author of A History of American Revivals, describes revival this way: “The Holy Spirit takes people to a spiritual depth they could not achieve on their own.”
Revival is initiated by God and completely dependent upon Him. But we do play a part in seeing revival take place. We can ask the Lord to stir our hearts and give us an unquenchable thirst for Him.
God wants to bring revival to our nations, our churches, and our families.
“If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land” (2 Chron. 7:14).
Do you need a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit in your life?
I certainly do. I want a renewed passion for God’s Word. A greater fervency in prayer. A deeper burden for the unsaved. I want and need revival!
Join me and thousands of believers around the world in the January 2017 Online Daniel Fast, January 1-21, 2017. Together, we’ll ask God to awaken our hearts to Him. Our theme for the fast is, “Revive Us Again.”
“Oh, revive us! Then your people can rejoice in you again” (Ps. 85:6 TLB).
I’m believing God for great things as we seek the Lord through the Daniel Fast. I promise, you won’t regret participating in this opportunity to draw near to God and experience His nearness in a unique way. And God will bless you for it!

Is stevia on the Daniel fast?
Hi, Sherry. That’s a good question. It’s really a matter of personal conviction. Since stevia is a plant, it certainly falls within the guidelines. However, some people consider stevia to be an added sweetener and choose not to include it.
This will be my third year joining the Daniel Fast. I am looking forward to this fast, I can’t wait. Praying and believing God for good health, a much stronger walk with him for 2017 and beyond, blessings, and much much more.
Lynda, I’m so glad you’re doing the fast again! Yes, I’m believing God with you for an outpouring of blessings! Praying for revival!

It’s been a challenging year full of changes. I’ve struggled a lot spiritually.

Thank you for providing the “how to” for doing a Daniel fast. This is our 2nd year to participate. We have so many challenges going on in our family right now and we so need to press in to the Lord. We just ordered your book & plan to study together with our small group. Thanks for being obedient to share what God has shown you!
Hi, Karen! I’m so glad to hear you’re joining the January fast again AND that you’re doing it with a small group! Thanks so much for writing. Your comments encouraged me today!
I’d love to join in
Great! You can click on the link in this blog post to register. I’m glad you’re interested in participating!
Merry Christmas Kristen! We again are joining you and many others for the 2017 Ultimate Daniel Fast. As full-time traveling Evangelists we agree with the need for revival; fasting and prayer is the key. Thanks!
Wonderful, Beth! I’m so thankful you’ll be joining the fast. 🙂
We’ve been doing a 21-day fast with our church for many years, but last year was the first time I participated in your Daniel Fast. Your book is wonderful and so encouraging! The recipes are delicious. I was so excited last year and was able to help several ladies from our church start a Daniel Fast and share recipes with them too. I’m really looking forward to doing this Daniel Fast again; however our church has set January 9 to 29, so I’ll get a late start.
Margi, thank you so much for your kind words about my book, The Ultimate Guide to the Daniel Fast! I’m also glad to hear you’re doing the January 2017 Online Daniel Fast. If you want to go ahead and sign up to receive the emails, you can use them when you start your fast with your church. That way you have them at the right time. May God bless you abundantly in this coming year as you seek Him wholeheartedly!
Kristen. Thank you for the reminder. I did it last year and it was awesome. I am ready for 2017. The issue this time might be financial as I live in Oslo and it’s one of the most expensive places in the world. I am a student mum, but God will provide. Looking forward to starting and joining you.
Hi, Christy! I’m glad you’re interested in participating in the January 2017 Online Daniel Fast. I pray the Lord will provide for you in every way as you step out in faith. May He bless you abundantly!
Thanks,I will participate
Great! Did you get signed up?
I can’t get the link to sign up to work?
Becki, can you tell me what is happening when you click on it?
It takes me to the “Campaigner” home page and asks if I want to start a free no-risk trial or request a free quote
Becki, I’ll check on it. That’s weird! Thanks for letting me know. Here’s the link to register: https://secure.campaigner.com/CSB/Public/Form.aspx?fid=1343145
Still no luck…
Becki, I think it may have something to do with your computer. Have you tried on another device? Because the link I gave you should pop up as a registration form.
Really excited to see what the Lord is going to do through this fast. Thank you for pressing on!
Hi, Barbara! Yes, I’m excited, too! God has great things in store for us. I’m so glad you’re going to be a part of the January 2017 Online Daniel Fast!
I love your recipes! I learned about the Daniel fast from watching Franklin Graham on TBN. Your website was more than perfect. I share your passions for God and honoring His creation. Your website covers alot. I am greatful you chose to share this on-line, it has blessed me ever since I found it, Thank you. And, the recipes are so good it can be difficult at times to control the portions. Although I do not have your book on the daniel fast, I would like to give it a rating. Every recipe has been awesome and your advice and support is an added benefit. I look forward to reading all of your books. I use your recipes even when I am not fasting, and I look forward to it! Thank you Kristen for your inspiration and for sharing how to honor God and take care of the gifts he gave us. Thank you for the work you do for God!
Tracy, THANK YOU for this encouraging message! You blessed me so much today. 🙂 I appreciate your feedback and support so much. It’s truly an honor to serve the Lord in this way. Sometimes I still can’t believe He allows me such an awesome privilege. I’m glad you’re seeking the Lord through the Daniel Fast. May He pour out His favor on you in this coming year in a new way!
how wonderful you have prepared another Daniel Fast. Thank you for being an obedient handmaiden of the Lord. Your last fast truly inspired me and I heard so many things from the Lord. I was encouraged and inspired and felt more healthy too. God bless you Kristen from a sister in the Lord from Down Under ( Australia).
G’day, Lynette! (Sorry, I couldn’t resist!) Thanks so much for your encouragement. Yes, I am also expecting great things from the Lord as a result of this fast. He is faithful! May the Lord bless you abundantly for your commitment to honor Him through prayer and fasting.
Thank you Kristen. Hearing from you brought tears to my eyes as since the fast I have been struggling with life. I thank God for His Faithfulness as even though I have struggled He has seemed to bless me more and my ministry more. I t seems when you drawer nearer to God satan bumps up his attacks. Thank God he is only a paper tiger. Bless you I am so hanging out to begin the fast. I take this opportunity to wish you and your family and the new addition your new puppy a very Blessed Happy and safe Christmas. In Christian love with a holy hug. Lyn
Hi, Lyn! Thanks so much for your comments and encouragement. Yes, I, too have found that struggles often pave the way for greater blessing from the Lord. He rewards us for enduring through trials. I’m thankful you will be participating in the January 2017 Online Daniel Fast. May the Lord fill you with His power and peace as you draw near to Him! Merry Christmas to you as well!
I did it for five years in a row, but I didn’t do it in 2016. I have been only lukewarm with the Lord this year. 😟 I am 🙋🏾ready for a personal revival in 2017. ✝
Hi, Seary! Yes, I remember you! I’m glad you’re back. 🙂 God has something special for you on this fast. May God revive you beyond your wildest dreams!
