DANIEL FAST

             Daniel 10:3: 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.

             Don’t be afraid or intimidated and think you cannot do this fast because YOU CAN!
             You may follow the fast as described below or modify for some health or other perti-

             and red meats.)

             The guide provided below is just that, a guide. Remember God knows your heart
             and it is God who accepts your sacrifice! However, if you modify your fast, be sure
