They were where they were, but they weren’t going to allow where they were to change who they were.
Daniel 1:20 (NIV) 20 In every matter of wisdom and understanding about which the king questioned them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and enchanters in his whole kingdom.
Fasting shapes my identity in Jesus and sets me apart as His and His only!
“I might live here, but I am not from here.”
21 days marks a period of breakthrough. It represents sticking with the path until something breaks loose.
In 40 days, Jesus puts His flesh/humanity behind His Spirit/divinity.
When His flesh was at its weakest, His divinity/Spirit was at its strongest.

Tell someone what you are doing. If you have no one to tell, email me.
John 12:24 (AMP) I assure you and most solemnly say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone [just one grain, never more]. But if it dies, it produces much grain and yields a harvest.
Father, what needs to die, what do I need to lay down so that more can be produced in my life. Your life will always be bigger than your life if you let God go and let God.
