My 40-Day Fast

28-Days – January 8-February 4
Daniel Fast: Consuming only juices, soy or almond milk, water, raw fruits, raw vegetables, cooked fruits and cooked vegetables. With the Daniel fast, some people go as far as to avoid refined and processed food products (artificial flavorings, food additives, chemicals, white flour, white rice, etc.), solid fats (shortening, margarine, etc.), leavened bread (sandwich bread, etc.) and beverages (tea, herbal tea, etc.). I won’t be that meticulous. The scriptures don’t detail this fast in that type of excruciating detail so I won’t either.

Throughout the 40 days I will also be fasting from TV, movies, casual web surfing (not related to work or scriptural studies – including hanging out on facebook & twitter), listening to secular music, reading secular material – unless it is work-related. I will devote special time to the study of God’s word and prayer.
