For those of you on the Daniel Fast with us, by now you should be done with the headaches and ready to really start focusing in on the Lord. You might be asking yourself, "What is the purpose of fasting, anyway?"
Fasting is a spiritual act of worship, directed to the Lord. And like any act of true worship, the action changes us and enables us to be empowered. Here are five keys to consider during your fast:
1. Be specific about why you are fasting-
2. Make a spiritual commitment, not a physical one-
3. The outer discipline should reflect an inner desire-
4. It is a statement of faith for others-
5. Yield the results to God-
These 5 keys are also very applicable for those of you medically unable to particpate in the Daniel Fast, but are "fasting" something else in your life.
I am believing with everyone, that God will move mightily in your lives and meet all of your "needs according to His riches and glory in Christ Jesus."

It's already been a blessing only 4 days in...exciting!
Pastor Brian,
My family and I are not members in your church, although we did participate in the classes to become members to, we just wanted to share how you have touched our lives, and I know that was the work of God.
We pray that your new life in San Diego will touch many as I'm sure you have done here. We do not know you as well as some of the others do, but what I do know is you are passionate for God and his people. Our prayers will be with you and yours. God blesses you.
Sincerely,
Warmest love from our family to yours.
