And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. (Revelation 12:11)

Your Daniel Fast of "no pleasant bread" was an awesome testimony to your obedience to God's Word and your faith in Him.
You said, "David, I really appreciate your testimony of fasting blessings and encouragement for all of us. I would like to hear more experiences of fasting and answered prayers too, from others who want to share."
I do hope more Doves will write in with their testimonies to God's miracles through fasting. This is truly atomic power with God. A lost obedience in our Laodecian church age. I have read many posts and letters from Christian brothers and sisters who need just such miracles in their lives.
Here is another testimony I have to the Miracles of our Father through fasting. This happened almost 20 years ago:
During the end of my wife's first pregnancy, the Lord led me in a ten day fast. The miracles that followed were nothing more than amazing.We were in bed one night. I was asleep. Kathy was reading the Book of Daniel. She told me later the Lord had wanted her to read the whole book. At the end of the book, her water broke. She woke me up and said, "It's time".
On the way to the hospital at about 2AM, the streets were quiet, hardly any traffic. I was breaking the speed limit but not putting anyone in any danger. A police car came by me going the other way. As I looked in my rear view mirror, I saw him make a U-turn and put on his blue light. He pulled behind me and then immediately pulled up along side me in the right lane. We both rolled down our windows and I hollared that my wife was having a baby. He said, "Follow me" and preceded to lead us to the hospital complete with flashing blue light.
When we arrived, he ran into the emergency room and came out with a wheel chair and preceded to roll Kathy inside. Well, this got everyone's attention and we were whisked up to the maternity ward.
Kathy's doctor was called and he came right over. She was really concerned because, he, like most men doctors, cut their patients. This procedure, as mother's know, helps the doctor to deliver the baby. Of course, it hurts the mother but hey, who's most important - the doctor and his time, or the mother? He examined her and felt she would be awhile and then received an emergency call at another hospital. In the meantime Jonathan decided to come out. It just so happened that a Christian female doctor was present and she delivered the baby - no cutting. A real miracle for Kathy!
The whole experience was supernatural. The nurses were the best we could ever have hoped for. We felt so at home, we were sad when it was time to leave. Not to say that Kathy didn't endure the pains of delivery. She hollared a few times:-)
