CONSECRATION FAST

February 1-21

Consecration Fast

Guidelines

Some of you may already be familiar with this type of fast, but for those who are unsure how to do this, we have included a list of what you may and may not eat while following a Focus Fast.

This type of fast is base on Daniel 10:2-3, “In those days I Daniel was mourning three full weeks. I ate no pleasant bread, neither came flesh nor wine in my mouth, neither did I anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled.”

We encourage you to read through the surrounding chapters to get a more thorough understanding of why Daniel was led to do this, and follow this plan as you believe the Holy Spirit is leading you.
