The Daniel Fast Prescription: Learn the Effects of the Foods You Eat (Fasting Edition #60)

Our fasting quote of encouragement today is from Lee Bueno. He said: "Humility and self-denial are two sides of the same coin. Jesus’ greatest calling for us to deny ourselves came when He stated, 'If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his cross, and follow me.' By fasting as unto the Lord we answer His call to deny ourselves for the sake of the cross."

Our fasting devotional today is titled "THE DANIEL FAST PRESCRIPTION: LEARN THE EFFECTS OF THE FOODS YOU EAT" from Dr. Elmer L. Towns in his book "Fasting for Spiritual Breakthrough".

During the Daniel Fast, you should study proper nutrition and diet. Daniel understood what he had to eat to be healthy. Daniel 1:16 says, "So the guard took away their portion of delicacies and wine...and gave them vegetables."

Proper diet will generally cause a person to live longer. People who have healthy bodies are usually able to fight off bacteria or germs and overcome the threat of disease. Yet some very healthy people will be infected with germs or diseases in spite of their good diets. Learn what to expect from good nutrition from qualified nutritional experts.
