Daniel Fast!

Our church is joining together to do a Daniel fast. Do remember the story in Daniel (Daniel 1:5-17) when Daniel, Rack, Shack, and Benny asked to be tested for 10 days? They asked the guards to allow them to only eat vegetables and drink water for 10 days, instead of indulging in the fine food and wine, and at the end of the 10 days they would be healthier and better nourished than the others. So the guard did as they asked and at the end they were healthier and better nourished than the others. After this the Bible says that to these four men God gave knowledge and understanding of all kids of literature and learning. And Daniel could understand visions and dreams of all kinds.
We are doing this together to:
* Intentionally listen to God.
* Have discipline and focus our lives spiritually, emotionally, and physically.
* Unite the bride of Christ.
We are asking God to:
* Break through in our personal lives.
* Break through in our families.
* Break through in Fredonia Hill.
During this time we will also be:
* Reading His Word daily and often.
* Meditating on His Word.
* Listen and Praying.
* Recording what God is teaching us.
Our pastor made it clear that this is not to be ritualistic and we are to make the diet what God is leading us to and what our health will allow. Therefore our family (kids will only do this at dinner time because they need more calories than we do) is going to be eating only fruits, vegetables, nuts, beans, and rice, and drinking only water, and along with that I have decided to cut out blogging. I will be back in 21 days.
Please join us in prayer as we do this together. I am anxious to see what God has for us!!
