2. BY DEFINITION

partial fast* based on two instances
of Daniel's fasting experiences.

to eat and water to drink.” ( Daniel 1:12) “In
those days I, Daniel, was mourning
three full weeks.

Rum

5. THE IMPORTANCE OF FASTING
Is fasting just about
denying oneself food or
some other type of
pleasure? No. It’s much
more!
A fast, without being
combined with extra
time in the Word and
seeking God in prayer
is not a true fast.
It is a means of cleansing the heart of
distractions and helping us have a
more receptive frame of mind to what
God wants to do in our life and through
our prayers.

6. OUR YOUTH MUST KNOW THE WORD OF GOD
 A clear conception of what God is, and what he
requires us to be, will give us humble views of self.
He who studies aright the sacred word, will learn
that human intellect is not omnipotent; that, without
the help which none but God can give, human
strength and wisdom are but weakness and
ignorance. This is the education so much needed at
the present time. In an age like ours, in which
iniquity abounds, and God's character and his law
are alike regarded with contempt, special care must
be taken to teach the youth to study, and to
reverence and obey, the divine will as revealed to
man. The fear of the Lord is fading from
the minds of our youth because of

7. CAN THE YOUTH TODAY STAND BRAVE LIKE DANIEL
AND THE 3 HEBREW BOYS ? ANSWER= YES!
 But Daniel purposed in his heart that he
would not defile himself with the portion of the
king's meat, nor with the wine which he drank:
therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs
that he might not defile himself.
 Then said Daniel to Melzar, whom the prince of the
eunuchs had set over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and
Azariah,
 Prove thy servants, I beseech thee, ten days; and let
them give us pulse to eat, and water to drink.
 Then let our countenances be looked upon before
thee, and the countenance of the children that eat of
the portion of the king's meat: and as thou seest, deal
with thy servants.

11. THESE YOUTH HONORED GOD WITH ALL THEIR HEARTS
With Daniel, the fear of the Lord was the beginning
of wisdom. He was placed in a position where
temptation was strong. Selfish indulgence,
intemperance, and gluttony were the order of each
day. Daniel could join in the these corrupting
practices ( Like Everyone else ) or he could resist
the influences that tended downward. He chose
the latter course. He would not even defile himself
with the king's meat, or with the wine that he
drank. The Lord was pleased with the course
that Daniel pursued. He was greatly beloved and
honored of Heaven; to him the God of wisdom
gave skill in the learning of the Chaldeans, and
understanding in all visions and dreams.

12. WE CAN HAVE THE SAME BLESSING TODAY
If the youth who attend our various
educational institutions (Church ) would
discard unprofitable amusements and
indulgence of appetite, their minds would be
clear for the pursuit of knowledge. If they
would be firm for the right, and would not
associate with those who walk in the paths of
sin, like Daniel they would enjoy the favor of
God. They would thus gain a moral power
that would enable them to remain unmoved
when assailed by temptation. It requires a
continual struggle to be constantly on the
alert to resist evil; but it pays to obtain one
