Day 24 and a great day. I am finding that I am not sleeping quite as well as I did the first 20 days of the fast. I am waking up frequently and just not sleeping as deeply. I also notice that I am getting fatigued in an 8 hour day much more easily.
The amazing thing is that my body is at rest. Mentally my mind is at peace. I am reading book number 12 since I started the fast 24 days ago. God is just helping me to have the time to study, it really is amazing. Fasting is what I am studying most and even though I have practiced the spiritual discipline of fasting for many years it has not really been a regular way of life. I now have every intention of making this lifestyle change. I am anxious to seek God in a 21 Day Daniel Fast. I may also adopt the Early Church way of fasting Wednesday and Friday. John Wesley also fasted these two days each week and he refused to ordain any preacher who wouldn’t agree to fast.
I am convinced the discipline of fasting has been neglected at great cost to the church.
