DANIEL FAST 2023

PLUG INTO THE POWER OF PRAYER AND FASTING

Daniel Fast 2017

1/9/2017

 
Once again we will journey, as a church, through 10 days of intentional prayer and fasting! It's time to put our faith into action and bring the fight to our knees in intercession... together!  What will you believe God for?  What expectations are you bringing to the spiritual table?  Let's get real!  Expect to be challenged! Don't expect an "easy" time!  Expect a battle!   Expect to wage war with your flesh as you deny it!  However, you can also expect your Spirit man to rise up!  You can expect victories!  You can expect transformation and inspiration!  As we crucify our flesh and surrender to the Spirit of God, we can expect healing and miracles, deliverance, freedom from bondage, breakthrough in every realm, a deeper depth of spiritual growth and testimonies of answered prayer!  Keep in mind, that fasting without prayer, is nothing more than a diet!  When your flesh screams…. let it be a reminder to hunger for GOD, His will, His plan, His desires... and run to your prayer closet!  Fight the good fight and stay the course!  Be intentional about praying and spending time in the Word.  Then listen for His voice!  Be still and know He is God!  Be astoundingly aware of His presence!  May your spiritual eyes be open and your heart ready to recieve as you join us on this journey!  Please utilize this blog to share thoughts, prayers, prayer requests, scripture and encouragement as God speaks to you.  Share your personal struggles and triumphs!   As we take this journey together, great and mighty things are in store!  (Click on the link to the Daniel Fast icon, to the right, for past recipes… we will update it as more become available!)  We are praying for YOU!

Just looked at the Publix Ad Preview (For the Ad Starting this Thursday 1/19/17) and there are lots of produce deals.

Plus Naked Juice 15.2oz Bottles will be on BOGO. I love the Berry Veggie flavor, it tastes like Tart Cherries and has protein from chickpeas (that you can't taste).

They will also have Bush's Beans and V8 on Bogo.

I made a cobbler last year with one of the naked juices and the banana muffin batter... it was wonderful!!

Just stopping in to offer some encouragement! As I prayed yesterday... I believe the Lord was saying to many in our congregation that "the cloud of oppression is lifting". Keep praying friends! Keep believing! Cast out all doubt and trust that your God is indeed able! Stay faithful to His word and His will. Continue to walk obediently. He sees and stands ready to deliver, heal, intervene and restore hope!

Tosha said this was good!

Ethiopian Cabbage Dish
1/2 cup olive oil
4 carrots, thinly sliced
1 onion, thinly sliced
1 tsp. sea salt
1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp ground tumeric
1/2 head cabbage, shredded
5 potatoes, peeled, cut into 1 inch cubes

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the carrots and onion in the hot oil about 5 minutes. Stir in the salt, pepper, cumin, turmeric, and cabbage and cook another 15-20 minutes. Add the potatoes; cover. Reduce heat to medium-low and cook until potatoes are soft, 20-30 minutes.

I will add this to our recipe link so it is updated.

Me again! LOL! Tonight we had stuffed green peppers. Here is the recipe. If you don't like green peppers... then the rice mixture is a good eat on its own ;)


Stuffed Green Peppers
I used Success brown rice and, for me, it’s a better option than traditional brown riche. It is pre-cooked so it only takes 10 minutes instead of 45! For a busy family… that’s a YAY! I also found a new tomato sauce that we LOVE! It is all-natural and is made by Mezzetta and I found it at Publix.

6 Green Peppers
2 Bags Success Rice
One Jar Mezzetta Garlic/Carmelized Onions Sauce (they have several flavors that are Daniel Fast friendly)
1 Can Black Beans (Rinsed)
1 Can Northern Beans (Rinsed)


Cook rice, mix in sauce and beans. Cut tops off of the green peppers, clean out and stuff with rice mixture. Place in deep baking dish and cover. Cook at 400 degrees for about 30 minutes. Longer if you like a more tender green pepper. Done! Easy! Yummy!


Also... I found another good resource... I have not thoroughly checked it out however But, it appears to have a good recipe index and answers to a lot of questions that many have. http://www.ultimatedanielfast.com

That sounds good. I had bought peppers and the instant brown rice just was thinking what else to throw in to complete the stuffed peppers! PS My husband is trying to eat the entire fruit bowl in 2 days!

We're going to stuff Pablanopeppers with Brown Rice and My black bean salsa and cook in Rotel tomorrow. Will let you know how it tastes.

Made this from an adaptation of different recipes I found online and we LOVE it!!! I may try it with rice. Maybe like a lime rice? I don't know. Any ideas out there?

Mango Salsa

1 cup diced ripe mangos
Juice from ¾ of a lime
Leaves from approx. 6 stalks of fresh cilantro
About ½ jalapeno pepper chopped


Place in food processor and pulse until desired consistency.

Made Bell peppers stuffed with brown rice, diced tomatoes, and tofu marinated in Italian seasoned tomatoe juice. Baked surrounded by squash, carrots, onions, more peppers, and tomatoes. It was so amazing I'm making it again when I'm not fasting.

On another note, I tried vegan mozzerella cheese.....not a winner.
