1. Receive Divine Guidance or an answer to a specific problem.
We acknowledge God that he is God. Fasting releases us from the enemies, powers and strongholds. We need to recognize that there is a spiritual warfare going on. And when we designate a time frame that we are going to fast, we are going to seek the Lord. We are going to determine in our heart and in our mind that we truly are going to be focused on what God is doing and how he's speaking to us. And so this is going to help us have the guidance that we have, have the revelation that we have our answers to specific problems.
2. To weaken the power of the adversary
When you have Jesus as your savior, you are in his hands and no one can pluck you out of his hands. And so when we take this time to fast, it's just a time of renewal. And refreshing our spirit with what God wants to do in our life and at that moment in time, the adversaries and not happy and he has to leave.
3. To cope with present monumental difficulties
We all have hard times, have hard days, hard months, hard years. It just happens. This is a very difficult world to live in, but yet fasting, it can help us cope with it. It can just help us to see things from God's perspective. And this is important because you may be going through a job loss, a home loss, a horrific diagnosis or a child issue or a marriage issue and fasting can help you cope with it.
4. To have freedom from bondage.
I'm going to do a little confession here. I have a prayer coach that I meet with weekly and she helps me identify that I had a bondage in one area of my life. And so I am fasting now actually to overcome that bond agent in my life. And so this is what you can do to whatever that bondage is. You can use fasting to help overcome that.
5. To break through a depression.
Now that may sound like a physical benefit and it is, it may sound like a mental benefit and it is, but it's also a spiritual benefit. So when we fast, the physical things that happen is our gut is heal, which increases our mind awareness and decreases our depression and therefore we're able to just worship better. We're able to praise the Lord better when we are not depressed.
6. To be free from evil
We really need to rid ourselves of evil thoughts. You cannot say, well, I must not be a Christian because these thoughts that are in my mind are not Christ. Like we all have thoughts come into our mind that are not Christ. We need to capture them and get rid of them.
7. To be happier internally.
I've noticed in my own personal life when, when I've done fasting and when I have followed the Daniel fast eating, that my gut is healthier, my mind is sharper, and I don't have as many of those thoughts coming in and I am just internally happier, therefore externally happier. And that's what the Daniel fast is all about.
8. To resist temptation.
The Daniel fast can keep you strong and resist temptations ven from items such as pornography and other addictions that can destroy our life and our marriage. This is huge, as we live in a society that doesn't believe in any restrictions and it's just causing chaos
9. To invite God's power to flow through you more mightily.
And to that I say yes Lord Jesus. Amen means I agree with what you're teaching me, Lord, I agree with what you're doing in my life. I may not always understand it, but I do agree with it.
