negative words about or to anyone else.
Also, consider limiting how much you
watch TV, and how much time you spend
on things that are distracting. Remember
to replace that time with prayer and Bible
study. That time with Jesus will produce
dramatic change in your life.
W H AT T O E X P E C T When you
F ULL FAST:
Drink only liquids; water, 100% juice and clear broth (you establish
number of days). Consult your doctor.
DA NIEL FAST:
Eat no meat, no sweets and no bread. Eat fruits and vegetables
and drink only water.
3- DAY FAST:
This fast can be any type of fast (Full Fast, Daniels Fast, or you can
give up one item of food).
OF FASTS
THE type of fast you choose is between you and God. He
will honor your best sacrifice. You may want to include
a combination of fasts. For example, you may want to
participate in a Full fast for 1-3 days and then continue
with a Daniel Fast
PARTI A L FAST:
This fast is from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. or from sun-up to sundown. A
partial fast can also be any type of fast.

Private Discipline
Open Reward
During that time the elderly couple that lived across the road from us
were moving into a retirement village, so they sold their car to our son
for just $1000. This helped us considerably since my son previously used
my car for college.
Within a week of returning from our holiday, my husbands work bought
him a new All Wheel Drive vehicle.
In March, our twenty-four-year old daughter Vanelle was appointed to
a management accountant position at a large Christian establishment
on the Gold Coast. She had been interviewed for this particular job nine
months ago and was told at that stage she was too young for the position.
This second time around she was hired on the spot and with a grand
increase in salary.
