Well I'm getting ready to record. It's been 8 years since "Great Things In Store For Me"..... I want to put together a 75-100 voice choir for the next one and I'm coming to the south side to record it. If you're interested and up for the challenge, hit me up on my wall. Be blessed.

Examples of things to believe for and practice:

• The Power of God is working in my life: 2 Peter 1:3
• I will make knowing God, in me, with me &d as me the highest priority in my life: Matthew 7:21
• I will believe God for increase:  Psalm 115:14-16
• I believe God for greater strength:  Nehemiah 8:10
• God will not hold any good thing from my life: Psalm 84:11
• God is meeting all of my needs: Psalm 34:10
• I will speak words of peace in every problem in my life: Isaiah 26:3
• I will not worry-I will trust that God is in control: 1 Peter 5:7
• I will persevere until I see total victory: Isaiah 54:17
• I will trust God's Spirit in me to direct and guide me: Proverbs 6:22
• I will walk in God's Promises: 2 Peter 1:4

1. Be specific

Daniel was not vague in his objection to the Babylonian diet.      

He defined the problem immediately. The king's food was against Jewish dietary laws. Daniel and his friends had vowed against Babylonian selected wines. The king's food could have been offered up to idols/demons.         
 

2. Fast as a spiritual commitment
The Daniel Fast involves a spiritual as well as physical commitment to God.
"Daniel proposed in his heart that he would not defile himself."

Many people have an inner desire for better health, but they can't discipline
themselves to avoid junk food, and other foods that are not good for health.

The physical health you seek from God may be more than an answer to prayer.

Your physical health may be linked to any of the following factors: a. Your food choices.

b. The level of your spiritual commitment, as reflected in constant practice of prayer and meditation during the fast. c. Your time commitment. If you determine to fast for a certain time, keep it. For example,if you determine to fast ten days,don't stop on day nine. d. Your testimony commitment. Your fast is a statement of faith in God and personal discipline. You want God to heal your body, as well as your mind and spirit. Faith is foundational to the Daniel Fast.
