The Daniel Fast and Lent 2017

February 17, 2017 By Kristen Feola

Lent 2017

As an author, I’m a big fan of words. I enjoy looking up definitions to understand terms in a deeper way. So when I began writing this blog post about Lent 2017, of course, I had to do research on “lent.”

The word “lent” comes from the Old English term “lencten,” which means “spring.” On the surface, the meaning seems nice and sweet. After all, Spring is a wonderful season of the year. The weather turns warmer. Flowers begin to bloom. Nature comes alive. What’s not to like?

But you can’t experience the beauty of Spring without the harshness of Winter. Frigid temperatures. Brown, barren landscapes. Bitterly cold winds that cut to the bone. All components of Winter. All necessary to usher in Spring.

(You may think I’m chasing a rabbit trail here, but stick with me. I promise it will all tie together.)

Let’s go back to Lent. You may be wondering, What is Lent? It’s OK if you have no idea. I didn’t really either until a few years ago. 

Lent is the season of preparation in the weeks leading up to Easter when believers reflect on Jesus Christ—his life, death, burial, and resurrection. Such preparation often includes days of fasting from certain foods, television, and/or social media. During this time, many Christians also choose to participate in a Daniel Fast.

These types of sacrifices are certainly beneficial. But when I consider the definition of Lent, I have to conclude that its practice should involve more than mere meditation on what Christ did for us. 

Of course, it’s good to remember how Jesus paid the penalty for our sin. Our Lord willingly subjected Himself to the cruelest, most unforgiving Winter of all so we might experience life in Him. His death on the cross may a way for us to experience a wonderful, eternal Spring that lasts forever!

The purpose of Lent is designed to make believers ready for Easter Sunday, a day that’s all about celebrating this new life we’ve been given in Christ. But how can we celebrate to the fullest when men and women around us are still dying in their sin? How can we rejoice in our Spring when people we love are stuck in Winter?

The truth is, we can’t.

If you’re like me, you don’t think about eternity enough. You don’t dwell on the fact that your brother or sister or spouse or child is headed to Hell. But you need to think about it. And so do I.

Hell is real place. It’s not a figment of anyone’s imagination. It’s also not a joke or a party. Heaven is also a real place. People who have accepted God’s gift of salvation will be in God’s presence forever when they die. Those who haven’t, won’t. They will spend eternity separated from God and anything good. Instead of unending joy, they’ll endure utter darkness and misery, being tormented in ways we can’t even comprehend.

I see Lent, then, as a perfect opportunity to pray others into the kingdom of God. Eternity is at stake here. The need is urgent. People are desperate to know the hope we have in Christ. Lent is also a great time to intercede for other believers, who need wisdom, strength, and perseverance as they follow the Lord.

Will you fast and pray during the Lenten season, which is Wednesday, March 1, to Saturday, April 15? If so, indicate your commitment in the comments section below.

Ways you can participate:

  • Do a Daniel Fast (my book, The Ultimate Guide to the Daniel Fast, provides all you need to complete the fast successfully).
  • Fast one day a week during Lent.
  • Do a combination of fasts (water, juice, Daniel).
  • Use a prayer journal to record your requests.
  • Print out my Lent 2017 Prayer Guide and put it where you’ll see it every day, such as on your refrigerator or in your Bible or journal.
  • Subscribe to my Lent 2017 Daily Prayer Points to receive emails that will show you how to implement the Lent 2017 Prayer Guide.

The Ultimate Guide to the Daniel FastThe most important thing is that you pray. “The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results” (James 5:16B NLT). Your prayers make a difference and will change the history of people you know!

My prayer is for the Lord to pour out His power as we seek Him during Lent. May we see thousands of people turn to Him for salvation! May we also be revived in the process!

If you plan to do the Daniel Fast during Lent, be sure to take advantage of the helpful resources in my book, The Ultimate Guide to the Daniel Fast. It provides everything you need, including 21 daily devotions, 100+ recipes, three weeks of meal plans, grocery shopping lists, fasting tips, and more!

Ground provisions is only vegetables, right? If so, yes. And I apologize for the delay in responding. I was on vacation last week and then had the flu for a few days. So I’m just now getting back on my feet!

I am very much interested in this fast for Lent. How do I sign up with you all to make sure that I receive EVERYTHING that you’re sending out during the fast. I will be purchasing your book as well. There are so many attacks coming against my family (my children, grandchildren, and me personally) from so many different directions, it has become UNREAL and almost UNBEARABLE. If I didn’t have such an intimate relationship with God I wouldn’t be here anymore. These attacks are real, but God is real in my life. There are chains that need to be broken and done away with. I need help. Please include me.

I have never fasted for spiritual reasons before. It is on my heart to do the Daniel Fast during Lent his year. I love your idea of focusing on the lost sheep. My heart aches for the “wanderers” that I love- as well as for all of the other mothers out there with holes in their hearts. I ordered you book… Thank you for the encouragement and guidance.

Thank you Kristen for your website. I have tried some of your recipes during our fast I will continue to seek out for of your recipes. they are so easy. My husband is fan of the flat bread(once I got it right. and the kale and tomatoes. I wanted to know, on your double bean burger could I add the sweet potato just like the chipolte burger and baked it instead of pan fried? Would I use the same baking instructions?

Hi Kristen,

A group of us did the Daniel Fast in Jan in preparation for Short term Mission in India, which we have just returned from. I’d like to do the DF again leading up to Easter – would it be legalistic to say ‘Because its a Daniel Fast I can only do it for 3 weeks as per the Old Testament?’ or could I extend it for the whole 6 weeks of LENT?

With thanks, Angela.

He will provide the strength and endurance you’ll need. May God bless you as you intercede! I’m grateful for your commitment to prayer and fasting.

Thanks Kristen in your faithfulness to get back to me. Will chew this over – if you’ll excuse the pun! PS the short term mission to India was actually a Children’s STM, we took 4 children aged 9-11 with us, each child had a parent to accompany them. The Daniel Fast was so appropriate as the children had a first experience of fasting for an extended period (they did 10 days, I continued for the whole 21) but realising that they can still be nourished. The fasting went ahead of truly amazing things that happened in India. So all thanks to your UDF that I found on a Google search late last summer 2016.

Hi Kristen, I will join in the Lenten Fast. My Daughter, Son-in-Love and I did the Daniel Fast with their church in January. It was fun and I was mainly fasting to get my sugar under control. WOW! Within one week my sugar came down from 290’s to 80’s and 90’s. Only God can do that. We ate veggies and fruit and 1 fruit smoothie a day. We all joked about how much we missed “real” food. God is so good. This Lenten Fast I intend to study the bible and pray for my son and wife as they are considering a divorce. I know that God can work in wonderful ways to restore and refresh their marriage. I have your books “The Ultimate Guide to the Daniel Fast” and the one for weight watchers. I will also keep a journal, I’ve kept one in the past and enjoy going back and reading those. God bless you and your husband as you labor to spread the Good News. Thank you for your commitment to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.(Please don’t post my last name)

hi just some thoughts

No problem in fasting.
But saying that we are fasting a Daniel 21 day fast is not scriptural.
Daniel 1:9 Why did Daniel not eat meat or wine ( against Gods law) verse 5 …for 3 years …verse 21 And Daniel remained there until the first year of King Cyrus. Cyrus ruled 17 years after Jerusalem was captured
How long did Daniel fast for ? about 17 years ?
Daniel did not declare a fast he chose TO FAST, not to break Gods commands.
Why not do a Jesus fast? Jesus fasted for 40 days, is IT to much to ask? ( are commanded to fast some one else’s fast?) Daniel fasted for approximately 17 years not 21 days ?

Lets see what Daniel fasted for ? Daniel 9:1-5 Daniel …pulled out his hair…, why? he failed to remember Jeremiahs prophecy. So Daniel with a heart of repentance and not of NEED, he fasted and prayed with sackcloth and supplication. Here we see that NO time period or WHAT he eat during this fast is mentioned.
Daniel 10 why did Daniel do for 21 days? did he FAST or did he “MOURNE” for 21 days, and in those days they usually moaned for 30 days. Verse “2 At that time I, Daniel, MOURNED for three weeks. 3 I ate no choice food; no meat or wine touched my lips; and I used no lotions at all until the three weeks were over.” Why was he “MOURNING” ? ….a great war?
Fast but do not use Daniel fast if it does not pertain to us. Daniel chose to live according to the law of God by keeping a diet, how can we change this to a fast AND THEN DECLARE THIS AS A DOCTRINE OF GOD.
Our so called fasts everyone knows we are doing it (SHOULD EVERYONE KNOW?). If fasting becomes a hunger strike, we know that hunger strikes brings no supernatural outcome?

Mario, thank you so much for your comments. I appreciate your honesty! The whole idea behind the Daniel Fast is not to imitate exactly what Daniel did (because we don’t know for sure) but to follow his example of prayer and fasting. The Bible does give us some guidelines in Daniel 10, so that’s why we exclude meat and “choice foods,” which most commentaries agree included breads and sweets. On a Daniel Fast, we choose to set aside certain foods as an act of sacrifice and worship. It’s not meant to be legalistic at all. The Daniel Fast is an opportunity for believers who have never fasted before to be introduced to this powerful spiritual discipline.

I have very rarely participated in Lent. As an Apostolic Pentecostal, I have done various fasts at various times of the year, but I can’t recall a time when we did it during the Lent season. However, this year, as I am continually positioning myself to be elevated into the call of ministry that the Lord has given me, I have been seeking more ways to get into His presence and to seek His face for strength, wisdom, and guidance. So, yes, I am committing to all of the above, not only for myself and my wayward children but for those who have never known Him, those that have known Him and are now back sliders, and those that have known Him and want to go deeper & higher in Him, despite whatever obstacles they are facing.

Praise the Lord! Rose, I’m so glad you are pressing in to know God in a deeper way. He will certainly draw near to you as you draw near to Him (James 4:8).

Yes, Kristen, I will commit to fast and pray during Lent 2017. My husband & I did your Daniel Fast (again) this year — it was awesome! Ron has always been a meat & potatoes guy, but HE told me there was not one recipe of yours that he did not enjoy — and have recommended your book to others as well. We so appreciated Justin’s participation this year — loved your videos & outtakes 🙂 I had also purchased Spiritually Strong & hope to start that soon. Our daughter actually graduated from Evangel U in 2013 so we’ve attended James River AG a number of times. It was how I found you when searching for ‘a’ Daniel Fast to do a few years ago. I read some things you wrote — mentioning your pastor (John Lindell) — and recognized his name. Ron & I love to take leisurely drives back to Springfield (i.e. 16 hour trip) so perhaps we’ll see you at James River sometime. Thank you so much for what you do! May God continue to pour out His blessings on you, your family and your ministry.

Hi, Karin! I apologize for the delay in responding. Your comment got flagged as “spam,” and I just found it today! Thank you so much for your kind words and encouragement, especially about this year’s fast and the videos. 🙂 I’m glad you’ll be participating in another fast during Lent. Be sure to check out my latest blog post for resources that will help make your fast more effective. May God bless you as you seek Him! And, yes, when you visit James River Church, please let me know. I’d love to meet you and Ron!

Hi Kristen,
I am trusing God that i will be able to fast during LENT. I however had one question, during this period of fasting, will one be required to do the food plan for Daniel fast?

Hi, Patricia! The way you fast is up to you. You can do a Daniel Fast, water, or just. You can also do a combination of the three. Some people may choose to do a water fast one day a week through Lent. Just ask God what He would have you do. He will show you!

I pledge to fast and pray for the salvation of the lost during this Lenten season! May the glory of the Lord illuminate us all as we surrender our fleshly desires over to the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit, and may God be glorified as we turn our hearts and minds towards interceding for lost souls.
Amen

girl reading bible“Before you pray, bow quietly before God, just to remember and realize who He is, how near He is, how certainly He can and will help. Just be still before Him, and allow His Holy Spirit to waken and stir in your soul the childlike disposition of absolute dependence and confident expectation.” – Andrew Murray
