GUIDELINES FOR DANIEL FAST

Now Daniel ate ''no pleasant bread neither meal or wine '' Daniel 10:3

      Fasting, simply put, is sacrificing the flesh for the spirit... physical food for spiritual food, physical nourishment for spiritual nourishment. A basic Daniel fast consists of fruit, vegetables, whole grain breads, no desserts or meat, and water as a beverage over soft drinks, coffee and tea. Of course, there are variations.
    First, pray for wisdom on how you should fast. God honors your sacrifice. lf it is a sacrifice to you, it is a sacrifice to God. Fasting is between you and God, not you and man, so do not compare your sacrifice to others. Seek God's leading and He will be honored and you will be blessed.
    Second, fasting is always tied to prayer. Fasting alone, without intimate time spent with Him in prayer, reading, and studying the Bible is just a diet. It is so important to increase your time with Him during this time. Sometimes, we can get so focused on the fasting... what we can and can't eat... that we lose sight of what we are fasting for. The best way to keep Him near is to stay near to Him by praying and reading the Bible. You will find added strength and comfort through scriptures and your prayer time with Him.
    Third, keep   mind there is great significance in giving the first fruits of your year to Him and you are doing this in concert with the entire church body here at Pine Valley. There is something about giving your firsts, and doing it in unity with other believers that is just so powerful.
