Why I'm Fasting
for 30 Days
Dear Friend, Today was both a happy and sad day for me. The reason is because my only son, Daniel, and his beautiful new wife, Jessica, packed up their Volkswagen Jetta for their long journey to Washington state to attend college. My heart hurt as we hugged and shed a few tears. This is the first time we will be apart for any length of time. Daniel has worked by my side for 17 years and done an outstanding job running Modern Manna. Parting is such sweet sorrow. The newlyweds are dedicated to health ministry and may rejoin us in the future. Jessica is finishing her Masters degree in Diet and Nutrition at Bastyr College, and Daniel is pursuing a nutrition degree as well. As a young nurse, Jessica, like Daniel, is passionate about the medical missionary work. She is a gifted cook and loves making raw recipes (she assisted Charmaine in this week's video below). Daniel has learned by my side ever since he was a little boy. I took him on many of my speaking engagements around the country where he would learn. As a father, it is wonderful to have your son by your side in ministry. Daniel has a keen interest in natural remedies and super nutrition ever since he learned the word "wheatgrass." So why a 30 day juice fast? I have some very good reasons. 1. When the going gets tough in life, fasting helps keep the mind clear and your heart close to God. 2. Fasting helps you gain the victory, especially over appetite. 3. I am interceding with prayer and fasting for close friends that are in spiritual trouble, for my family, and for myself. 4. I wanted to lose some extra pounds and flatten my stomach. 5. A 30 day fast is one of my goals in life to practice self denial and discipline. 6. Juice fasting is a good way to assist the body in detoxification. I have lost 20 lbs. in 26 days. My energy has soared in the past couple days, which surprised me. In fact, yesterday (day 25), I rode the bike hard for 15 miles after working out with weights for forty five minutes. I had so much energy I returned to the gym in the evening and rode another 11 miles and hit the weights a second time. I couldn't get tired, because the fresh juices are like high octane fuel for the body. Some of the greatest blessings that fasting brings are weight loss, vitality, and peace of mind. My blood pressure is 116/67, the last time I checked, and my weight is 165 (I started at 185). Thirty days is just around the corner and I will make my goal no problem. I have given some thought of going 40 days, but I will see how I feel come Tuesday. The fast is right on time because the devil has been attacking me with great wrath. Have you noticed trials increasing in your life? I see this as a sign that Christ is perfecting His people because the world is in chaos and can't last much longer. Natural disasters like floods, volcanos, earthquakes are striking in many places. Pestilences like ebola are spreading rapidly and the death rate is climbing. War in the Middle East is escalating daily. ISIS is threatening Russia, the EU, and may strike the United States soon. Fasting has me so focused to get my affairs in order and prepare for what is coming. I must not let my appetite control my mind. When Christ was tempted by the devil He ate nothing. Please try fasting for perhaps 3-7 days and see how you feel. As stated last week, I like big combinations of fresh, organic vegetables each serving of juice. Today I drank around 80 ounces of a mixture of carrots, tomatoes, parsley, basil, celery, beets, kale, chard, ginger, and lemon. Absolutely delicious! In fact, I do not crave any food at all and find junk food absolutely repulsive. I start drinking around 7 AM until 7 PM, and pure water in between. Please pray for Modern Manna as we strive to share the health message and the gospel with the world. Soon, we will be adding quite a few free health audios to our website at www.modernmanna.org. I will keep you posted.
Blessings, Danny Vierra
