Fasting, especially when ordered by God, can destroy the strongholds of evil in our lives. And during this transition into the new year, we want to make sure we're in God's will and purpose. For God has a purpose for everything He does. We need to be in His plan and purpose to vibrate fruitfully in our lifestyle. We're never comfortable until we are in His will and plan. In fact, we are only safe and secure when we are in His presence. We have to pray, "Lord, show me Your presence," until we are assured of His nearness and presence. As it was said of historic Joseph in Egypt, "The Lord was with Joseph." This e-Book is therefore targeted at those waiting on God in prayer and fasting, in praise and worship, for wisdom and health, relationships and prosperity. Whatever you may want from God in the new year, this e-Book will enable you know how to wait on the Lord God Almighty. When January comes around, everyone wants to do a fasting program of some kind. Why read this e-Book? For we know that there is nothing impossible with the God we serve and worship. You need to take this e-Book to come out of this period greatly transformed and enlightened. And you'll experience a higher level of your relationship with God. This is a transformation to follow a plan against all the conventional wisdom that allow you to have wisdom and favor, health and prosperity. The results can be supernatural... losing weight and having addictions completely gone; people having their bodies transformed and their minds cleared, and their relationship with God at a deeper level than ever before. What is this e-Book about? The designation, "The Daniel Fast," highlights the selection of meals and recipes, though the emphasis of fasting and prayers is on abstention from meals and words, attitudes and behaviors. Our problems or challenges are never that God is mad at us and punishing us. The challenges are to teach us and guide us on the right path to claim and declare the victory of Jesus Christ on the Cross for our freedom and well-being. Any deviation from God's purpose leads us into darkness or dis-ease. Any abnormal use - abuse - of our mouth or heart, soul or body, leads us to difficulties. And a period of prayer and fasting will show the Lord God Almighty we care. And He will lead us out of any difficulties. This e-book is about three experiences of biblical Daniel and his friends on exile in Babylon. First, the Bible in the Book of Daniel talks about Daniel and his three friends, how they abstained from eating the king Nebuchadnezzar's rich foods, which likely were unclean or detestable animals. We believe that God is the same yesterday, today and forever, and so are those things that he created, and they're not to be eaten. So Daniel decided not to eat the king's rich foods, but consume only fruits, vegetables and water. We believe animal foods are a very important part of our diet if they're raised properly and if they're prepared properly. But avoid them this period of fasting and see what happens to you! Second, in biblical times, people didn't eat the same way we do or the same times that we do. Some experts recommend that you barely eat anything in the morning. Then have medium size meal at lunch and the biggest meal at dinner. Scientific studies confirm that if you eat in a tighter time window and rest your body, the rest of the day you will be leaner, your brain will work better and you'll be healthier. You'll find you're sharper when you haven't eaten and your body is running on the reserves and burning fat. It's amazing. Many people can eat the same exact foods in the same amounts in a different, more compacted time window, same foods, same amounts, and they lose weight. Their blood sugar improves and they feel better. Third, this e-Book thus includes prayer for your body, prayer for your family, prayer for salvation of your loved ones.
