Daniel Fast January 2025: For Our Families
Enrich Church Daniel Fast
January 5th - 26th, 2025 // Resource Guide
Humble Ourselves Before the Lord in Prayer and Fasting: For Our Families
Welcome to the Enrich Church January 2025 Daniel Fast! This fast is specifically designed to align with our annual church-wide Daniel Fast. Daniel humbled himself before the Lord in prayer and fasting to fulfill God’s Word for Israel through repentance, intercession, and action. In the same way, our corporate fast will establish God’s will for our families, Enrich Church family, and national family system. Fasting is expected by Jesus (Matthew 6:16) and corporate fasts are called by Kingdom leaders (Ezra 8:21-22).
The Daniel Fast
A Daniel Fast refers to the two types of fasts Daniel did in the Old Testament (Daniel 1:1-21 and 10:1-2). Daniel abstained from certain foods for specific periods of time to honor and seek God. In essence, Daniel ate only what grew from a plant, excluding sugars and breads. In the same way, we can humble ourselves before God in prayer and fasting for specific purposes to bring breakthrough for the Kingdom.
If this is your first time, and you are learning how to fast, consider fasting from social media and desserts for the 21 days. Choose and design your fast as led by the Holy Spirit.
Daily Prayer Guide
The Enrich Church January 2025 prayer and fasting will specifically focus on the theme of family. Please utilize the Daily Prayer Guide as a guide to direct your prayers as you fast.
