Gospel Light Society Podcasts

TEXT: Daniel 10:1-3 When Daniel and his companions were selected to be a part of the special training that would make them of service to the Babylonian king, they were inducted into a three year course of study. The Bible says they were to be taught "the learning and the tongue of the Chaldeans" and that they had been "appointed a daily provision of the king's meat and of the wine which he drank for three years, that at the end thereof they might stand before the king." Daniel refused this diet, instead choosing to fast from rich foods and eat only plants and vegetables and drink only water. Some of us find it difficult to even consider doing the Daniel Fast for forty days, but Daniel did it for three whole years.
