To start the New Year off right, I decided to follow Jentezen Franklin’s fasting. I am basically doing the 21 day Daniel fast. This type of fast is only fruits and vegetables, that means no sugar, no meats, no alcohol. Bread or bread like food is really up to you. I chose not to eat bread either because it is not really natural anymore.
The food industry in America should be ashamed of themselves for what they are passing off as food. The take all the natural nutrition out to typically add fake stuff back. I do not understand this and I really do not understand why the FDA does not step in and put an end to this type of industry. Hey but what can I say, the industry and the government do not care about the people. I say just pray for our officials to make the right decisions.
I encourage you to fast as well. If you are unsure of which fast to do, go to Jentezen Franklin’s website and search the different types of fasts. It is not so much about the fast as the reason for the fast. Fasting can be used for weight loss, but that is not the main goal, so please do not go on a fast to diet.
If you do decide to fast, then take that extra time that would be spent on preparing food to study and learn the word of the Lord. By fasting, you are telling the Lord that you want to become closer to Him, because you are willing to sacrifice food for seeking Him.
I pray that you decide to fast and you are able to search and seek the Lord through studying the scripture. Take the time to get to know Him, He is always there.
May God bless you.
