Understand The Importance of These 21 Days
Get ready for The Fast of Daniel, that’ll begin Sunday, June 25th, 2023. It’ll be a moment to get closer to the presence of God.
The purpose of this fast is to receive the Holy Spirit. During 21 days, we avoid the pleasures of this world in order to seek Him wholeheartedly. The Fast of Daniel is an opportunity for anyone regardless of your religion or background. It’s for anyone who would like to begin a new life.
The Fast of Daniel is based on the Book of Daniel, chapter 10, in the Bible. For three weeks, Daniel fasted to have more communion with God and to find favor, wisdom, and understanding. The Fast of Daniel isn’t a fast restriction of certain foods but of the distractions that bring entertainment and pleasure from the world.
Those who desire to have a closer relationship with God are encouraged to join the movement. It is a way of showing God with actions that He is the first in our lives. For 21 days, we will fast from the pleasures and entertainment that occupy our thoughts and distract us from Him.
For 21 days, we will abstain from secular entertainment, secular music, and secular news or information. As Daniel did not eat from the delicacies, we will avoid consuming what secular television, the internet, and social media have to offer, content that brings pleasure to the flesh.
During the 21 days, we will pray, meditate on the Bible, and watch Christian content that benefits our faith and feeds our spirit. We encourage you to watch our new super production, Genesis. It airs on weekdays at 9 PM ET only on LFN.
Avoid social media. Those who work with the internet, news, and social media, may connect to perform their work and avoid it in their free time. You need to have your mind always connected to the Holy Spirit.
