Lessons Along the Way
“My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.“ James 1:2-4
Our loving Father is constantly offering us His truth, His ways, and His guidance. And one of the “classroom sessions” we can access is that waiting time when we believe we receive, and are faithfully awaiting the manifestation. That is the focus of today’s lesson. What can you learn as you patiently await His fulfillment?
Your Journey in Faith is specially designed to help you develop your faith as you experience your sacred time of extended prayer and fasting. Take this opportunity to learn more about yourself and the changes you can make in your life of faith.

Hello Ms.Susan! Today is my last day of the Daniel fast I’m truly blessed to have experience the fast for a second time. I also did it last year. I’m so grateful for these lesson,they have been a blessings. Thank you for all you hard work and dedication.
wow what an awesome journey thank you sister Gregory be blessed
Thanks for doing this Susan!
We did the Daniel Fast as a family,I, my wife, and daughter. It was useful in getting us centered on who we are in Christ, and how as citizens of heaven we have the priviledges of heaven. God wants to answer our prayers so we can confidentally ask Him for anything within His will and it is ours. Thanks for reminding us that the promises are real and to be taken seriously, and that they, combined with revelation faith bring the victory into our daily lives.
Hi Susan, I thank God for your obedience in doing this study because it was a blessing and a help in encouraging me to choose to have Revelation Knowledge Faith; to not be moved by sight but to trust God and His Word. I look forward to reviewing my notes in the future to help guide and keep me on track. I am expecting God to fulfill a longstanding request that I sometimes wavered about but now know it’s what I desire and am going to wait patiently for Him to bring it to pass in Jesus name, AMEN!!🙋
Dear Susan:
I would like to thank you for this wonderful journey. I had never received any teaching in reference to “sense” faith vs “revelation” faith. I had always walked by faith, and now feel even stronger and will now walk by revelation faith. I completed my 21-days on Sunday the 29th and I’m encouraged and want to share what I have learned during this journey. May God continue to anoint you to spread the gospel. Be blessed in Jesus name!!
Thank you for your insightful teaching, Susan. I appreciated it and the care you took to make it relevant. The fast was uplifting and revealing. May you be blessed.
Did you ever imagine that God would use you in this way to reach so many? Praying for God’s wisdom is a beautiful lesson. It gives me peace and comfort to think that His wisdom is something he wants for all of us. How joyful life can be if we can obtain some of that wisdom and apply it to our daily lives. I cannot imagine the blessings you have received and will continue to receive for sharing the way of revelation faith. God led me to you again and I am so very grateful!
Ultreya!
Dear Susan,
Firstly, I want to apologise for my delay in thanking you for all you have created and for all you have done, to make it possible for us to follow an amazing spiritual journey all the way through the Daniel-Fast!
As it happens we were booked away for a four day celebration of a dear friend’s threshold birthday, which happened to fall across Day 20 +21 of the Daniel Fast! Whilst we just about kept to the Fast . . . . even over the celebratory meal(!) and listened to your video lessons for those two days, we had to leave the real quiet time and worksheets until today, on our return! Hence, the delay in sending you this message!
To put this comment in context, we are the couple, Ruth and Gerwyn, that wrote to you at the start of our journey Day 3 and to whom you generously replied and then used our comments for Day 4 (was a bit of a shock!).
So three weeks ago, having never heard of the Daniel – Fast, we were excited and full of eager anticipation listening to your amazing lessons and using all the helpful materials you provided. We were unsure such quality and committment could be sustained over a long, 21 day period but we can honestly say, not only HAS it continued, it has exceeded our very wildest expectations to the very end! And we cannot thank you enough! Now, we don’t want it to stop . . . . . we just wish it could continue!
We just want you to know some of the ways in which this amazing program has affected us:
*I would never have been able to do just a “diet” or “fast” – but your daily prayers, lessons, Bible readings and reflections put it so compellingly into “A Journey of Faith” it made it ‘easy’ to do and sustain.
*as a consequence of the Fast, our bodies and minds feel so much cleaner, clearer, sharper, and altogether better, that we now plan to modify our daily diet considerably!
*your daily devotional routine and structure, first thing in the morning, praying, getting into the Word and spending time with our Father God and Lord Jesus through the scripture and in prayer has felt so amazing. We plan to re-order our day from now on in the same way! Maybe you have other programmes with which to follow on?
* ESPECIALLY, your teachings have brought SO much clarity and understanding to the Lord’s Word and His promises to us, that they have been able to connect deeply within us and in some instances have been a revelation! you have sharpened that desire for a daily “intentional life’.
We love your style and the way in which you have made the Lord’s promises and words come alive, feel understood and relevant to us!
We thank you so so much, may God continue to bless you and bless your precious ministry and your team! You are AMAZING!!
Just some questions before I leave:
* Will the videos of “Your Journey in Faith” continue to show, so that we can revisit some of the sessions? For how long??
* Are there any other programmes like this, that you do, to help further the “development of our faith??
* Can the Daniel-Diet be used for Lent?
* How can I access your other on-line materials?
( Unfortunately, I’m not on Facebook and can only access materials via email:(( )
God Bless you dear Susan and your ministry and your team.
Again, thank you, thank you so much, our gratitude is beyond all words!
Ruth and Gerwyn 🙂
Dear Susan,
As many others already have, I want to thank you for guiding us through this time. This was my first Fast and I just felt God leading me to jump on board when our church family discussed doing a 21 day Daniel Fast at the first of the year. I too had some struggles with my quiet time in the Lord and will plan better for next time. I did see God working in my life and feel a weight lifted off me like nEver before. I have struggled in the past with being an all or nothing person. Either I get it all right or throw in the towel. God showed me on a day that I really struggled that I am to persevere and keep pushing forward. I am praising our Father in Heaven for all the lives that are changed through your ministry. God. BLess you ! I’m excited about being a day 22 girl 😆!
Dear Susan
Thank you for leading us throughout this fasting period…God has been faithful and I have learned a great deal through the lessons as well through the daily devotionals you’ve prepared for us..God bless you
Hello Ms. Susan. I was wondering if you are introducing new courses in your future emails that you spoke about or are you going to be speaking on the courses/materials offered through your website?
Also your program Strengthen My Faith For Answered Prayer, is this recapping over some of the scriptures and concepts that you’d shared doing the fast? Like finding God’s promise concerning your need, ask, believe and expect?
Thanks for EVERYTHING! Just trying to find another material to study because I am lost without my daily structure of devotions and assignments from you! LOL. You have been apart of my daily routine. 🙂
Dear Susan,
Thank you for a very educational walk with you leading me to our Lord. I am leaving in Taiwan and it’s been so hard for me and my family in this couple of months. I have been trying your programme of fasting but always fail to finish it because of soo many distractions. Praised the Lord for His help this time that I managed to finish with a more calm and happy spirit. I love the changes that He invested in my family and myself. I am looking forward to seeing more in the future. God bless your ministry, Susan. Thank you very much.
I finished my 21 days today. This journey has been an amazing experience for me. I have learned a lot through this lesson and again I would like to Thank God for supplying you with this great learning material. Awesome lesson!
Dear Susan
The last 22 days of sitting under your teaching have been a time of refreshing and restoration for me. I have been built up in my most holy faith by the videos, the many comments and Facebook posts. This has been an amazing journey and I thank you most sincerely for the dedication and love with which you have tended His sheep. I am intending to return to your teachings for some time yet before you take them down; they are power-packed! Thanks for allowing the time extension for access.
Thanks for the Daniel fast recipes; I very much enjoyed them; they were great!
Thank you for sharing your story about your walk across northern Spain.I would be grateful if you would please let me know when you are planning your return trip to that trail as I might be able to come along.
May God bless you and your team immensely!
Dear Susan, I thank the Lord for you and the 21 day fast. I know that some situations really do need to be fasted on. Back in 2013 I really had some serious things happening in my life and I knew that it was the enemy. With my job being both mentally and physically strenous, I knew that I would need to eat to sustain myself. I searched for a fast that was spiritual and not for weight loss, (even though I lost ten pounds on the fast). That is when I found you. I bought your book and went through the fast. I can honestly say that I had a positive experience and I fasted for 40 days and 40 nights because of the seriousness of the sitution. Then came the enemy who robs, kills and destroys. I became afraid of what man can do focusing more on that than God. The Scripture tells us not to do that Luke 12:4 but I did just that and I was afraid. When that happened I could no longer feel the pressence of The Holy Spirit. I prayed in Jesus name and heard nothing, just silence for a long time. Then I decided that eventhough I could not feel or did not hear from God that I would pray anyway and just keep on living according to Him and keep on praying. This was a tormenting time, but God is faithful. This year during the fast I got my answer on day ten of the fast. I was praying to the whole Trinity. Then I felt The Holy Spirits presence in the form of unexplainable peace. Then the scripture of Isaiah 41:10 came bodly to my mind and The Lord told me in my mind that God is in control of everything and do not be afraid of anything. Everything was broken down to me. I recieved my peace that day. A few days later my knee pain ceased. I walked up and down steps so many times that day because I just could not believe it. I feel new. I am going to miss your daily videos but I will stay in His word. God bless you and your ministry, be blessed always. Thank You Lord!
Praise God. The breakthroughs are ours as we walk in faith! I so very happy for you.
Thank you for sharing your testimony of God’s goodness and truth so others can be encouraged and strengthened.
Be blessed, dear one.
Susan !!…I completed the fast today and I am so full of joy for what the Lord has done !!…and I know there is so much more !!…my relationship with Jesus has changed for the better ….new beginnings and a life in faith !!…truly God has called you for such a time as this for His people who are truly hungry and desire to go deeper in relationship with Him …it was so awesome to be with you and the Lord in the morning !!…truly has changed my heart and my mind !!…God bless you and I know we will meet again on this life journey
Loved it! Always a struggle the first few days, but the rest of the experience was then focused on God, not my body. It’s interesting to see how much my body wants to drive things…and uses food to do it. This fast helps to align anything out of order. I loved the daily teachings and especially when you shared your personal experiences. It helped me reflect on my own experiences. Felt like we were sitting together chatting. I didn’t feel alone on my journey. Spiritually, I pretty much depend on my time with the Lord and being in His Word daily, so I focused on an area I want to see change on my life. I find myself praying for others more than myself. So…the fast was about about me! Got some clear direction. My body does feel great and my energy level is amazing. Will continue eating with this in mind. Dont want to return to certain foods. Thanks so much. God bless you Susan. God has some new doors He is opening up for you this year. Keep your eyes on Him and you will know which direction to go.
Susan, the lessons God placed upon your heart were surely used to open my heart and eyes to draw deeper into the well of His love. I realized I was operating out of sense faith which was quite convicting! Revelation faith is humbling and from a grateful heart. God used this fast to turn His child around and
walk His path in His love and assurance. I am tasting the abundant life! All glory to God! Blessings to you and your staff.
Thank you Lord for strength throughout the fast and thank you Lord for Susan and the ministry. I enjoyed the daily lessons and God surely spoke to me through these. I tried the fast last year and gave up after 11days. I’m so thankful that I managed the 21 days this year Praise God. I continue to pray that my relationship with God will grow and grow. I have learnt a lot and still to learn more. I’m humbled and have so much peace. Thank you Lord
Susan….thank you so much for these past 21 days, and your wonderful teaching on Your Journey in Faith. I have done the Daniel Fast several times on my own, but found that being a part of this group study gave me direction, and kept me focused and open to hearing from God. The results have been very rewarding. I pray that God will richly bless you in all your endeavors and multiply your seed sown in our lives.
thank you Susan. i have truly been on a “vacation” in my spirit. and i don’t want this to end. i went hard after this and the results are awesome. i asked God for bright eyes and a lightened countenance because i have always had a default sad face. my husband would always ask what’s wrong and there was nothing wrong. i had always been depressed since an incident that occurred in 2005 and it forever changed my life from that time forward but in a bad way. i became anxious and depressed and addicted to food. and now i’m feeling free and assured that my Father loves me and i am His righteousness through Jesus. i am His daughter and it took me a while to realize that. and He did what i have asked and i’m looking forward to more!
Susan thank you so much for walking this journey with us. You have inspired and enlightened me! I have grown spiritually – to God all the Glory.
Thank you for the awesome & amazing lessons these past 21days Susan & team. It has surely blessed me & have learnt a lot. Thank you thank you thank you
Your leadership for this my first Daniel fast was just what I needed to succeed. I value and appreciate all of your lessons and daily devotionals May God Bless you daily for your wonderful dedication and love to help us all through this journey. For me it is life changing and it has brought me much closer to God than I was. The actual food part of the Daniel fast was fairly easy for me as I enjoy cooking and I loved all of your recipes I made from the book. I am a meat eater but I have learned to cut way back on meats dairy, sugar and processed food. At the end of my 21 st day I can truly say I am more at peace in my heart than Jan 8 as the start. Thank you for everything Susan. Sincerely Bob
Susan thank you so much for the amazing time you’ve shared with us – with people from different nations / time zones. My son and I did the fast together and he turned 21 last Thursday and we were saying what a way to start his 21 year with a 21 day fast! God is good.
This is the start of great things in Jesus name.
Thank you so much Susan for these 21 days. I have learned alot through these different studies. Things I needed to change with in myself to move forward. To Have a better Relationship with Jesus.Thank you once again.
Thank you so much! In some ways I enjoyed the journey, as I believe I’ve learned a lot about myself and my walk with the Lord. In some ways however, I don’t believe I was successful. I did not journal, nor did I read the lessons as I should have. I believe if I had, I would have gotten so much more out of this experience. I am not finished; I will try again!
Susan…I made it! This experience has been so great and fulfilling. I enjoyed all of the devotions and encouraging words for these 21 days. I am going forward in my journey of faith by continuing the fast for another 2 weeks. Please keep me in prayer.
Thank you Susan, for your journey in faith as well in fasting. I enjoy in looking forward for each morning for lesson and the Word of God. I just want to say thank you Susan for allowing God to use you in helping me in this fast. Everyday God spoke to me through His Word and I am forever thankful.
Susan..Thank you so much for everything..No words can express how much i felt from the start of this lesson until finishing the 21 days in seeking of our God. I learned a lot and my faith is increased! More Blessings to come in you and your ministry.. Hallelujah…Praised God for everything!
This time of fasting has been such a humbling experience. I am looking forward to do it again mid year. I thank the Lord for the moments of clarity and for HIS strength and love.
Thank you Susan for everything. It has been a wonderful experience and as you said it is not over, it is just beginning. May God richly bless you in all you do. I am in that waiting period now and your talk today has given me much to think about. Again thank you and it has been wonderful interacting with you and the rest of the Daniel Fast community.. I will continue checking into the Facebook group if it is going to stay up and running.
Bless you Susan today i completed my first ever Daniel fast and i must admitt at times i wanted to give up but God gave me the strength to continue so that he could get the honor and the glory. Thank you so much for being apart of my journey… DC.
Thank you so much, I am so grateful to God for letting him use you in such a powerful anointing way. These lessons have truly been inspiring and a blessing and I learned so much. Eventhough, the things I have been praying for has not manifested yet, I have the faith that I have the victory they are on the way. What a faith journey this has been. Again, I thank you and may God continue to use you and bless you mighty.
Hi Susan,
I just want to say Thank You for allowing God to use you in helping me in this fast. Everyday God spoke to me through his word and I am forever thankful. This has truly been a faith journey for me and I endured some things in this fast, but God was there for me. I have learned so much and I’ve seen some blessings along the way. I know there is more in store for me as I wait on the Lord. My aunt at 83 survived a heart attack and I thought it would take me under, but God. Again, I truly want to say “Thank You and may God continue to bless you richly.
Susan, thank you! ! I am so glad to have met you through these daily video’s. I’m sitting here at the beginning, of the end, and quite emotional, but in a good way. I have fresh hope for the future. I know God has great things planned for my life! I may not have all the details but I am certainly enjoying the view! Thank you so much for helping me along this journey of the faith driven life.
-Donna A
Thank you. I almost hate to see this journey end. I am happy for breaking bad habits and developing new ones. This Daniel Fast experience has been exhilarating for mind body and soul. This is my first Daniel Fast, thank you for being there every step of the way, Susan Gregory! God’s blessings as we continue moving forward.
Hi Susan, Today I have completed the 21 days – I am in Australia so have been slightly ahead throughout – and I just wanted to thank you for the wonderful lessons and support you have provided to us throughout this journey. I praise the Lord for the gift that He has given to us through your ministry. I found the Lord scattered little blessings throughout the fasting time, even though I didn’t spend as much time just waiting in His presence as I had planned to. (A lesson I have learned for the next fast will to be much more on guard to the distractions of the enemy including making sure I have several meals planned and ready before I start a new fast.) Regardless, the Lord was faithful in speaking to me particularly about how I have sometimes doubted that my prayers will be answered because of things in my past, etc., even though I don’t doubt our Father’s goodness and desire to bless us. Through some of your early lessons I was able to work through this using Scripture. The Lord also made Psalm 130:5 jump out at me like never before during the fast. This verse reads “I wait for the Lord; my soul waits, and in His Word do I hope.” After I had prayed through my various needs using other relevant verses, this verse in Psalms became my fighting declaration every time the enemy tempted me to doubt. I will continue to use this verse as I wait for the manifestation of those answers I know are coming. Again, thank you Susan. May the Lord bless you for your careful stewardship of the gift He has given you.
Today I have completed the 21-day days. I live in Anderson, SC Thank you so much for awesome lessons and support you have given through this journey! I have received so much from each lesson. To GOD be the Glory!
Thank you Susan for your teaching you make the lessons easy to understand. I thank you for your patience preparing me to renew my faith in God on this journey.May God keep you God bless.
Thank you soon for sharing your powerful insight about God and a part in receiving his promises through revelation faith. There is so much clarity and understanding in your Lessons and I am so grateful for the opportunity to study and take action based on an expanded awareness that I received from you. Peace and Blessings to you and your Ministry.
I too am deeply indebted for your time, effort, prayer, support in offering this to us and to be with us step by step. I have done this one time before, one of the things that was hard at the end of the fast was not having that daily video and encouragement from Susan. I felt somewhat lost. I feel so much stronger in my spirit man this time. There us more of an assurance and a resolve. God Bless you richly, Susan Gregory.
