Preparing for the Daniel Fast - The Food!

I have committed to join my church New Destiny Christian Center for this 21 day fast. My prayer is that my commitment to fast will usher in some of the greatest breakthroughs, blessings and miracles for me and my family in this New Year!

Whenever fasting took place in the bible it was followed by a season of growth and blessing, Well Praise Him! Cause Lord knows a need a season of growth and blessings!

I'm anticipating all of the great things God is going to do in my life and in the life of my church during these 21 days!  Together as a church family, let's take the next 21 days to prepare ourselves for what God has in store for all of us in 2012!
