OK, so it's nothing to look at, but if you want to spice up your Daniel Fast you'll want to check out Elaine's Healthy Choice at 117 Whalley Avenue (sharing a parking lot with Papa John's).
It's vegan with a West Indian flare! This meat lover could almost switch if I could eat like this every day!!!!
It's a win-win, support local business and ENJOY your Daniel Fast!

Breakthrough
At the end of my second day of the Daniel Fast I experienced some real breakthrough. After a great discussion about hinderances to prayer and what we can do to overcome them, we had a great time of prayer last night at the church.
It was toward the end, when I asked a young man named Terrance to pray that the heavens opened up for us. Others joined in on that wind of the Spirit and the overwhelming sense was that God was pleased. I pray that this was just an hors d'oeuvre preceding the feast God has prepared solely for those whose hunger has moved them to action! My appetite for more is whet. How about yours?

Daniel Fast Has its Trials...for the good!
With only one day under my belt, I'm already facing the challenges of a fast and kind of feel like this poor guy looks. I'm not on a complete fast, just a Daniel Fast. It's a relatively easy way to go as far as fasting alternatives; mainly fruits, veggies, nuts, whole grain products, and water. Not bad at all! There are lots of Daniel Fast recipe books out there to help keep things interesting. I suppose the the lack of coffee has hit me the hardest. I had a headache most of the day yesterday; less so today.
I found myself in real spiritual warfare on day one. My flesh wanted to prevail and take over. It didn't want me in the Word or in prayer. I had to take authority, resist temptation and do what I needed to do. Suffice it to say that I surely didn't FEELlike it. That's kind of the point of a fast, to bring you to a place where you're not under the influence of feelings or flesh. You just do what you need to do, diligently and with perseverance. The end result is that you come out of it with some spiritual muscle.
That's exactly what we're going to need this year, subdued, fully mastered flesh and stronger spiritual muscles. I'm getting stronger already!

Daniel Fast
Join us as we seek the Lord with intensity this month. I began a 21 day Daniel Fast today. Some at COTR have begun with me; others will start next week. When I get to my laptop, I'll add some links to some great Daniel Fast resources.
It's a time to fast and pray; a time to deny the flesh and feed the Spirit!
We're committing to a minimum of 18 hours of quality prayer this month! Don't wait until tomorrow to start...we have been given TODAY!
Blessings,
PT
