Fasting, by its simplest definition, is to abstain from food. In its broader definition, it can mean to abstain from certain types of food.

We should lead a fasted life - - a life that is not caught up with giving our flesh everything that it wants. When we fast - - purposely denying our bodies & bringing them into subjection, we become sharper mentally, physically, & spiritually.

There are all kinds of fasts. There is a complete fast - - no food - - no water. (This should be a very short fast or it could be your last fast, unless you have special instructions from God.) There is a water fast, a juice fast, 40-day fast, 21-day fast, etc. The fast that I'd like to focus on is 'The Daniel Fast'.

The Bible, (in Daniel Chapter 1), tells about Daniel & others of the children of Israel who were captives in Babylon. Some of them, who were good-looking, knowledgeable, & quick to understand, were picked & brought to the king's palace to be taught the language & literature of the Chaldeans.

There was an appointed daily provision of the king's delicacies & wine for these young men. Daniel obtained favor & was given the opportunity, for ten days, to prove that the vegetables & water that he & his companions wanted to have, would make them healthier mentally & physically than the ones that ate the king's fare.

After 10 days, they looked so much healthier than the ones who ate the king's food, that all of the other young men had to eat the way that Daniel & his companions were eating. This has been called 'The Daniel Fast'.

Have you ever fasted? When was the last time that you fasted? Fasting can be very cleansing & life-changing - - mentally, physically & spiritually.

Try a 'Daniel Fast' where you eat only fruits & vegetables for 3 days, then 7 days, then 21 days. It will give your system a chance to cleanse & rest itself. Try it! You'll love it! You will find a new way of life. Most importantly, try 'The Life' because Jesus is 'The Way, The Truth & The Life'. (John 14:6)
