Daniel Fast, any takers?
I’ve challenged the people of Mountain View Church to experience a “Daniel Fast” from Sunday August 24th thru Saturday August 30th. Typically this fast goes for twenty-one days but I thought this might be a good introduction to those who have never done a “fast” before.
Fasting in the Bible usually means no food for a set amount of time and in extreme cases (e.g. Moses, Jesus, etc.) it could mean no food or water. The Daniel Fast comes from Daniel 10:2-3 “In those days I, Daniel, was mourning three full weeks. I ate no pleasant food, no meat or wine came into my mouth, nor did I anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled.”
