Dear Brother John and all Faithful Doves,

Some time ago I announced that I was undertaking a 40 day fast leading up to Rosh Hashanna that I could prepare myself to meet Messiah and perhaps in intercession move the heart of the Father to send the Son to gather us.

This letter is to inform you of my progress and again invite all faithful watchers to join in in whatever way they are capable.

As you read this (probably Monday Aug 27) I will be on day 19 of my fast with no solid food whatsoever- juice, coffee and milk and the like have been my only sustanance.

As you read this we are 3 weeks (21 days) from the great day of Yom Teruah / Rosh Hashanna which I hope will be the day of redemption.

I challenge ALL faithful watchers to complete this fasting period with me in the manner of a Daniel fast. As I continue to fast for the next 21 days, completing 40 full days with no food - I challenge each of you to give up only your "pleasant foods" as Daniel did for 21 days.

This should be possible for anyone to give up not ALL food but pleasant food such as comfort foods - try giving up ice cream, cookies, brownies, chocolate cake for the next 3 weeks - or how about snack foods? give up your doritos, cheetos, fritos or other favorite snack foods?  Let it be between you and the Holy Spirit.

Our time is short, let us call for our Lord and ready ourselves to meet him!
As our brother Randy would say Tick Tockkkkk!
Baruch HaBa BShem YHVH!
Maranatha!
