Daniel Fast 2014

We are living in a world that takes and never considers the consequences or the penalies. Our health is eroded not by just disease but the unknown toxics that are created by persons with no regards for others. Our food sources are manipulated by money hungry agri-businesses seeking the most profits for the least investment. Our schools, government branches, businesses, races, are all used as tools to create disharmony. God is asking you to be better or seek to do better. You can do it.

What are our options? Daniel (The Old Testament Prophet) is stolen from his homeland and is a part of the royal court in Babylon (Iraq) that is  commanded to look well at all cost. He chose a simply path of trust in God, cleansing of his natural temple (body), and walking in harmony with nature.

In 2014,  God is asking us to walk this path. Honor God, protect your body, and be respectful of nature in your pursuit of a better life. You can do it.

Join New Journey as we embark on this great endeavor to follow Daniel to be more pleasing to God.

He is Worthy!!!!!!!! Daniel Fast 2014

2010 As a Barometer

I owe no one. I am indebted to no one. God has given each of us the divine currency to give of ourselves with enslaving ourselves in the economic system of man.

Free yourself my brother. Free yourself my sister.

Go forth and conquer.

2010 is freedom.

See you at the top.
