We’re on Day 2 of our 5 day Daniel fast as we continue to ask God to move in us as individuals, in our church and in our city. Fasting is about disciplining ourselves and as Paul talked about in Corinthians, bring our bodies under subjection.

While the Daniel fast allow all the food that you want, it limits the types of foods and removes caffeine, sugar, dairy, meat, processed foods and solid fats (to name a few) from the diet. In their place are substituted vegetables and fruits along with a variety of other healthy foods.

The common consensus last night and again this morning in the Bible Study seems to be headaches and sleepiness as our bodies adjust to the absence of caffeine and sugar in particular. From some reading that I’ve done it seems that this is a part of the body “detoxing” from some of the foods that we eat.

This is the first time we as a church have had this kind of a fast and we are expecting the prayer and the discipline involved to produce eternal benefits.
