21 Days of Fasting

Janauary 1- January 21 2007


This year we will observe a variation of the “Daniel Fast.” The Daniel Fast is a partial fast where we restrict our food intake, but do not totally abstain as in an absolute fast (no food or water) or a normal fast (without food, drinking water only). We have record of the Daniel Fast in Daniel 1:8a,

“But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat, nor with the wine he drank….”, also verse 12…. “Prove thy servants, I beseech thee, ten days; and let them give us pulse (vegetables) to eat, and water to drink.” And in Daniel 10:2-3, “In those days I, Daniel was mourning three full weeks. I ate no pleasant bread, neither came flesh nor wine in my mouth, neither did I anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled
