Daniel Fast Devotional

JANUARY 12 - FEBRUARY 1, 2025

Day 1: Consecration – Jan 12
“Draw near to God and He will draw near to
you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and
purify your hearts, you double-minded. . . . Humble
yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will
lift you up” (James 4:8,10).

Prayer for the Day: Lord, sanctify me. I need
You. Nothing else will satisfy me. I want to be filled with the Spirit. Please fill me with the Holy Spirit today. I want to walk in the Spirit. I want to talk in the Spirit. I want to live in the Spirit. I’m tired of living a worldly life. I don’t want to be like the world. I’m coming up higher after You. I’m going to seek You with all of my heart.
Notes:Lord, may I draw ever closer to You until You are indeed my all in all,.. the center of my life!

Day 2: Guidance – Jan 13
“Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying,
‘This is the way, walk in it,’ Whenever you turn
to the right hand Or whenever you turn to the
left” (Isaiah 30:21). “The steps of a good man are
ordered by the LORD, and He delights in his
way” (Psalm 37:23).

Prayer for the Day: Father, You have a perfect
plan for my life. I ask You to give me knowledge
of the path that You want me to walk that I will not
miss Your will. Thank You. God, you know where I
am. You planned my life before I ever showed up;
I ask for Your perfect will now. Show me your way
and direct my life, giving me guidance beyond
my mind into your perfect will. I ask you for it, I
receive it and I believe it. I worship You, Father.
I thank You that You are going to guide me, lead
me, walk beside me. I will be led by Your peace.
I will delight in Your way, O God.

Day 3: Strength – Jan 14
“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens
me” (Philippians 4:23).

Prayer for the Day: Lord I’m Yours. Oh, I need
thee every hour. I really need thee. I offer you my
weakness “for your strength is made perfect in
my weakness…” (II Corinthians 12:9). Empower
me to stay strong through the physical challenge
of the fast and to grow stronger in my faith. All I
need is You. You alone are my Strength, O God.
Thank You, Lord Jesus that You are touched
with the feeling of my infirmities. You see the
struggles in my life, and You know how they have
shaken me. They’ve not shaken You, Lord. Free
me from every fear, every limitation, from drawing
back, from intimidation. You are my Peace, my
Strength.

Day 4: Sanctify Yourself – Jan 15
“So it was, after three days, that the officers
went through the camp, and they commanded
the people, saying, ‘When you see the ark of the
covenant of the Lord your God, and the priests,
the Levites, bearing it, then you shall set out from
your place and go after it. Yet there shall be a
space between you and it, about two thousand
cubits by measure. Do not come near it that you
may know the way by which you must go, for
you have not passed this way before.’ And Joshua
said to the people, ‘Sanctify yourselves, for
tomorrow the Lord will do wonders among you’”
(Joshua 3:2-5).

Prayer for the Day: Thank You, Lord. God, I ask
You to sanctify me as I push back my plate and
as I pull away from the TV and read Your Word
during this period of fasting. Cut off the works of
the flesh. Cut them off so I can be used for your
glory. I seek Your face. I’m hungry for You. Lord,
I want to feel conviction again. I need to raise
my standard. Convict me of it. I lay down, “Every
weight that does so easily beset me” (Hebrews
12:1). I need your touch. I’m coming after You.
There’s a dream in me. There’s a call for my life.
I’m going for it.

Day 5: Freedom from Condemnation – Jan 16
“For God sent not his Son into the world to
condemn the world; but that the world through
Him might be saved. He that believeth on Him
is not condemned: but he that believeth not
is condemned already, because he hath not
believed in the name of the only begotten Son
of God” (John 3:17-18).

Prayer for the Day: Lord, I want to go beyond
courtyard kingdom living, and move into that
“intimate” place with You. I have carried tremendous
guilt and condemnation, but your promise
is, “Therefore now, there is no condemnation
to them that are in Christ that walk not after the
flesh, but after the Spirit” (Romans 8:1). I worship
You, God. I’m entering into Your rest this day. I
receive supernatural peace. I thank You, my Father.
No condemnation, no guilt, no shame, Jesus,
You are my righteousness. Thank You for
dying for me. Thank You for the cleansing power
of Your blood that gives me confidence toward
God. Thank You for loving me while I was yet a
sinner. Oh, I bless You Lord, I bless You Lord.

Day 6: Wisdom in Parenting – Jan 17
“All your children shall be taught by the LORD,
And great shall be the peace of your children”
(Isaiah 54:13).

Prayer for the Day: Father, I know that only
homes with Christ positioned in the middle of
every day living will succeed in this wicked
time. I need You, Lord, in order for me to be the
man/the woman that You call me to be in my
home. Give me wisdom to create a place of
physical rest and of spiritual rest where my family
can bring a crisis and lay it on a “bed” of faith.
Help me to communicate with my spouse and
my children. Your Word is a lamp unto my feet
and a light unto my pathway. God, we really
need You in our home. We want our home to be
a little church. God, I give You everything; take my
home; take my family; take my future; in Jesus’
Mighty Name.

Day 7: Household Salvation – Jan 18
“And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus
Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house”
(Acts 16:31).

Prayer for the Day: Oh God, save my children.
My cry Father, is save my children. Touch my children.
Straighten their paths. I paint them as a target
for Your Spirit to touch them and mark them.
Anoint them this day. I thank You and praise You
that salvation will come to this house because of
the blood of Jesus. Even when it looks like it is
not working, I thank You that the blood of Jesus
covers my family. “No weapon formed against us
shall prosper.” Your promise is that if the enemy
comes one way, he flees seven.

Day 8: Marriage – Jan 19
“Therefore a man shall leave his father and
mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall
become one flesh” (Genesis 2:24).

Prayer for the Day: Lord, we need You in our home.
We need You in our marriage. We need
You in our family. We need You, Father, to be
the Lord of our rings. Forgive us, Lord, for
angry words spoken. Forgive us Lord for wrong
actions taken. Forgive us if we have broken the
covenant. Help us today Lord, to love You by
loving our mate. Allow our children to see
parents who care, who love, who touch, who
talk and who communicate, because the marriage
they will duplicate will be the one they see
between us. So help us, Lord. We need Your
supernatural power in our marriage. Help us
and strengthen us to keep You as the focus of
our marriage.
 
Day 9: Finances & Provision – Jan 20
“The LORD will open to you His good treasure,
the heavens, to give the rain to your land in its
season, and to bless all the work of your hand.
You shall lend to many nations, but you shall not
borrow” (Deuteronomy 28:12).

“And you shall remember the LORD your God,
for it is He who gives you power to get wealth,
that He may establish His covenant which He
swore to your fathers, as it is this day” (Deuteronomy
8:18).

Prayer for the Day: Father, I thank You that You
are my source of supply. I thank You that You
know how to break bondages off your people.
Help me to attack my lack by applying the wisdom
of Your Word. Oh God, You said, “I’ll bless
the work of your hands.” I’m going to pay my
debts and live on the rest. I ask You that the
anointing of the Holy Spirit break every yoke of
bondage, break the yoke of borrowing, break
the yoke of overspending from my life. I decree
that this is the year of the Lord’s release.
I receive it and thank you, Lord. Father, in the
Name of Jesus, I thank You that You will bring
increase and cause me to profit even right in the
middle of a famine.

Day 10: Career – Jan 21
“And when he had called the people unto
him with his disciples also, he said unto them,
Whosoever will come after me, let him deny
himself, and take up his cross, and follow me”
(Mark 8:34).

Prayer for the Day: Father, in the Name of Jesus,
I come to You today, and I want to be a cross
bearer in the marketplace. I want people to see
You through me. I want You to anoint me with a
kingly anointing. I receive this high call that is
just as sacred as the call to preach. I understand
my purpose and I WILL go into the marketplace
with a fresh anointing. In my job I will carry Your
cross. In unseen and unspoken ways, people
will know there’s a difference on my life. I receive
that anointing right now as I dedicate myself to
You. Use my life for Kingdom authority. Help me
to be a culture changer where I work. Help me
to change the culture in my workplace until it’s
actually abnormal for somebody to take Your
Holy Name in vain…not because I preached a
sermon to them, but because Jesus has shined
through me into that darkness. I give You the
praise for that Lord. In Jesus’ Name I will not fail
You in my calling.

Day 11: Pastors – Jan 22
“Let the elders who rule well be counted worthy
of double honor, especially those who labor in
the word and doctrine” (1 Timothy 5:17).

Prayer for the Day: Father, I pray for our pastors,
for their wives and for their precious children. In
Jesus’ Name, Lord, Let Your Kingdom come, let
Your will be done in their lives and in my church
as it is in Heaven. I pray for my church. I pray for
every ministry and for every pastor to be led by
Your Spirit and to walk in peace. May they enter not
into temptation, but deliver them from evil. Anoint
them with fresh oil. Your anointing makes the
difference. Your anointing breaks yokes. Thank
You for Your precious anointing, Holy Spirit. I
stand against every spirit of division, in Jesus’
Name. Touch our pastors, Lord. I pray that You
bring a spirit of unity to our church. Father, I ask
You to release Your glory in our church, in Jesus’
Name.

Day 12: Protection – Jan 23
“He that dwelleth in the secret place of the
most High shall abide under the shadow of the
Almighty. I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge
and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust”
(Psalm 91:1-2).

Prayer for the Day: Lord, I want You close in my
life; I want to be under the shadow of the Almighty.
You are my refuge. You are my fortress. You are
my God. I will not be afraid. I will not fear because
I will call on that Name that is above every Name,
JESUS. Lord, teach me to appreciate my life in
this season. Help me to quit looking into the future,
never living in the now. You will be with me
in the day of trouble. I worship You, Jesus. Thank
You for the blood path right into the secret place
of the Almighty. You lift me out of depression, out
of unfounded fears, out of the strike of the adder
and the attack of the lion. I praise You, Lord. I
praise You. I worship You, oh God. Lord, I enter
into that tent where every provision is made…
even for protection from fears and protection for
my family. You are worthy, Lord. I worship You,
Jesus. You are my refuge, You are my fortress,
You are my strong tower, Jesus. Whom shall
I fear?

Day 13: Health – Jan 24
“‘For I will restore health to you, And heal
you of your wounds,’ says the LORD” (Jeremiah
30:17).

Prayer for the Day: Lord, thank You that You are
our Healer. You were wounded for our transgressions
and You were bruised for our iniquities.
Through Your stripes we are healed! And Lord, I
just claim miracle healing in my life and the lives
of my loved ones. I worship You, Jehovah-Rophe,
the God that healeth. Your Words “are life unto
those that find them, and health to all their flesh”
(Proverbs 4:22). Thank you for sending your
Word to heal me. “…my Hope is in you God: for
I shall yet praise You, You are the HEAL TH of my
countenance, and my God” (Psalm 43:5). I give
you praise and thank You today that my body
is being healed by the life-giving power of Your
Word, in Jesus’ Name! Thank You, Lord.

Day 14: Worship – Jan 25
“But the hour cometh, and now is, when the
true worshippers shall worship the Father in
spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to
worship him” (John 4:23).

Prayer for the Day: Father, I humble myself
before You today to seek Your face. I repent for
complacency in my worship. I repent for being
content in my worship. I repent. I’m not “face to
face” with You like Moses was, but I do want to
know You more intimately. Like Paul said, “I have
not apprehended.” I’m not satisfied. I’m hungry
for You, O God. I love you and I praise You, Lord.
Worthy! Worthy! Worthy are You, Lord! Blessed
be the Name of the Lord! Oh, God it all flows
out of You; I’m coming after You. You are my
Reward, not success, not material things. You
exceed all of those things! In Your presence is
fullness of joy. If I am in Your presence, then I
get joy. Out of that joy comes strength. Out of
that strength comes spiritual power to resist the
devil, and he flees from me. I want to be close to
You more than anything. Here I am. I give You
my all. I give everything to You. Thank You that
in Jesus’ Name, I enter into Your rest, enter into
Your peace, and enter into Your grace. I worship
You Lord. I worship you. Hallelujah!

Day 15: Release, Restorationand Reward – Jan 26
“Turn ye even to me with all your heart . . . with
fasting and with weeping . . I will restore to you
the years that the locust hath eaten, the canker
worm, and the caterpillar, and the palmerworm
. . . ye shall praise the name of the LORD your
God . . . and my people shall never be ashamed”
(Joel 2:12, 25-26).

Prayer for the Day: Father, in Jesus’ Name I
humble myself before You in fasting. Thank You
for releasing me from my past & forgiving all my
sins. Thank You for restoring my life and giving
me the reward of eternal life. I give You praise
and glory and honor. Bless Your people as we
continue to fast and pray. Bring the “spirit of release”
causing Your people to walk in financial
freedom. “Release” our loved ones. “Release”
those that are bound by fear, depression and
abuse. Release those bound by nicotine, gluttony,
alcohol, drugs and other addictions. Release them
from all bondage. Loose the bands of wickedness.
Undo the heavy burdens. Let the oppressed go
free. Release our families from every shame and
guilt. Thank You that the wicked bands will be
broken! Hallelujah! Lord, the palmerworm has
attacked the roots of Christian heritage in our
families. But You said, “I will RESTORE THE
FAMILY TREE OF FAITH!” I give You praise. My
family IS GOING TO WALK IN THE SPIRIT! Oh
Hallelujah! Father the greatest “reward” is You.
Thanks for the stuff, but we’re fasting for more
of You. You are our Reward and our exceeding
greatness. We praise You, Jesus. Glory to God!

Day 16: Revival – Jan 27
“If my people, which are called by my name,
shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek
my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then
will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin,
and will heal their land” (II Chronicles 7:14).

Prayer for the Day: Father, I come to You today
once again to lift up this nation, offering prayer
and supplication. Once again, I ask You, Lord
for Your will to be done in this nation and around
the world. I plead the Blood of Jesus over all
nations! In Jesus’ Mighty Name, I stand against
all the weapons of the enemy, the plans and
strategies of terrorism against our nations.
I ask for a covering over our military and our
representatives. I plead the Blood of Jesus and
release the angels of the Lord around their
paths. Guard our borders, Lord. Touch our leaders.
I ask you, O God, to visit them and give them
wisdom and insights that stir their hearts toward
You as never before. I pray for those in the inner
circle of power that You would turn their hearts
to walk in Your wisdom. I ask for Your mercy
on us! Forgive us for we have sinned against
You as a nation. We need a sword that will cut
through the immoral sexual obsession. We need
a sword that will cut through the lies of abortion!
We need a sword! God, let the fire burn in the
churches, and in our lives until we get a sword in
our hands! Purge us, cleanse us; heal our lands
we pray in the mighty Name of Jesus Christ, the
Son of God, the strong and mighty One! The
One mighty in battle! Jesus, we worship You.
Pour out Your Holy Spirit upon our nations, in
Your mighty name. Amen.

Day 17: Victory – Jan 28
“For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the
world: and this is the victory that overcometh
the world, even our faith” (1 John 5:4).

Prayer for the Day: Father, I’m making a choice.
I’m going to “put on the garment of praise for the
spirit of heaviness.” Lord, You said, “Sing, Oh barren
one.” So I will sing to You, God, even when
it looks like I don’t have anything to sing about.
I will give You songs of deliverance and praise,
O God. Glory to Your Name, Jesus! I will keep
on praying. I will keep on praising. I will keep on
living for You, God. My faith is overcoming. I’m
never going to get tired of fighting the flesh and
the devil until I make it through the pearly gates
of Heaven. I am an overcomer. My faith makes
me an overcomer, not my feelings. You are with
me now as You have been and frever shall be.
I praise You for total victory. I’m choosing a spiritual
revolution. I’m resisting the devil and he has to flee!
Praise God. I’m tired of mixing the Word with
everything else and not having the strength in me to overcome anything. I choose Your perfect will for me.

Day 18: Prayer – Jan 29
“Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch
cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the
vine, neither can you, unless you abide in
Me. I am the vine, you are the branches. He
who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much
fruit; for without Me you can do nothing” (John
15:4-5).

Prayer for the Day: Father, if Your Word abides
in me, I can ask what I will and it shall be done.
I don’t want anything in my will that You don’t
have in Your will for my life. Father, in the Name
of Jesus, I just lay everything on the altar today.
Everything I know I just lay it on the altar and say,
“If it is Your will Lord.” I say again, “Not my will,
but Your will be done in my life.” I’m asking You,
Father, to put on me a new mantle for prayer.
Teach me how to abide in Your presence every
Day and always. So Father, may I be diligent to
have Your Word abiding  in me and I in You so
that I may have the authority to ask for a thing
and it will be given to me. Thank You Lord for
Your amazing promise of grace and power!

Day 19: Compassion – Jan 30
“But whoever has this world’s goods, and
sees his brother in need, and shuts up his heart
from him, how does the love of God abide
in him? My little children, let us not love in
word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth”
(1 John 3:17-18).

Prayer for the Day: Touch my heart, oh God.
Touch my heart. Touch me. I don’t want to be
cold. I don’t want to be hard shelled. I want to
be tender. I want to be sensitive. I want to show
the world your compassion and grace. I want
Your anointing on me. Touch my heart. I feel the
incrustation of worldliness and materialism and
the cares of this life. Melt it! Purge it! Revive it I
pray!

Day 20: Waiting on God – Jan 31
“Have you not known? Have you not heard? The
everlasting God, the LORD, The Creator of the
ends of the earth, Neither faints nor is weary. His
understanding is unsearchable. He gives power
to the weak, And to those who have no might
He increases strength” (Isaiah 40:28).

Prayer for the Day: Lord, my flesh is weak, but
Your Promise is, “They that wait upon the LORD
shall renew their strength” (Isaiah 40:31). I am
waiting on You today and asking You to fill me
with new strength. Fill me with Your life force. As
I seek Your face, I praise You that I will not get
weary! I receive Your strength in my body and
in spirit, in Jesus’ Name. Thank You, Lord. Holy
Spirit, Comforter, Counselor, I need you to take
control of this situation. Fill me with Your power; I
worship you. Hallelujah.

Day 21: The Lost – Feb 1
“And He said to them, ‘Go into all the world
and preach the gospel to every creature’ ”
(Mark 16:15).

Prayer for the Day: Lord, here I am, send me.
Use me. Witness through me. There’s a “field” in
my home. There’s a “field” in my neighborhood.
There’s a “field” on my job. There’s a “field” in
this city. There’s a “field” in my family. Oh God,
forgive me for not praying; forgive me for not
witnessing. Forgive me for not really believing
that I can “reap a harvest” for You. Forgive me
for not believing that You can use my influence,
my affluence, everything that I have to reach the
lost for Your glory right where I am! Father, I ask
You to use me as a light to a dark dying world.
I give You glory and I give You praise for all that
You will do through me!
