Drink only water?

Image via Wikipedia

There is a recipe here that says to drink organic tea from lipton. I thought that only water was aloud during this fast? The scrpiture says only water.. i'm confused. Jannah

Sorry for the confusion. You are correct:

Daniel 1:12 I beg you, try your servants ten days. And let them give us vegetables to eat and water to drink.

However, this is a Daniel Fast for today. We are following the Daniel Fast created by Rev. Elmer Towns, which was created by him to help people today experience spiritual breakthrough. It is not focusing on an exact copy of Daniel's experience hundreds of years before Christ. Today, we are addicted to foods that are poisoning our bodies and destroying our health. Rev. Towns is encouraging us to remove these bad foods for a short term, to improve our spiritual and physical health.

If you desire to avoid more foods than Rev. Towns advises, that is OK. But please don't judge others who are following this modern version of Daniel's Fast.

Raw or Cooked?

Sweet potato image via Wikipedia

I am doing the Daniel Fast for ten days. I would like to know if there is anything that specifically says whether or not you can cook vegetables or if you have to eat them raw. Julia

Good question Julia. There are good reasons to eat your food raw, but that is not a requirement of the Daniel Fast. Read more about raw food in the Hallelujah Diet Books. You may cook your Daniel Fast foods, if you so desire.

Food Addiction and Emotional Eating

Image by Wikipedia

"I need deliverance from food addiction and emotional eating including anger/intolerance/control. My husband and I are separated, my children are in bondage and I am in debt. My ministry needs much help and support. Please pray for my grandchildren and my mother, brothers and sisters are having health problems. God bless. This is my first Daniel Fast." Name withheld

Dear Heavenly Father. So many of us are experiencing these same issues. Heal each one with Your mighty power. Give us self control from your Holy Spirit. In Jesus name we pray. Amen!

Thank God for the Daniel fast!!!

Image by Alessandro Pinna via Flickr

"I have been on this fast for 4 days now (which I commited to doing 7 days)and I can truly say that I have been tempted to go back to my regular way of living. The more I have been tempted the more I have been praying and asking God for help. Since being on this fast I have been able to hear God clearly and he has told me the things that I need to work on within myself. I understand now that my eyes are the open doorway to sin and doing things outside the will of God. Thank God for the Daniel fast!!! My life will never be the same." Name withheld
