THIS YEAR, THE OASIS WILL BE HAVING A FAST

​

This year's fast begins on May 21st and ends on the 30th.

It is modeled after Daniel and his friends in the first chapter of Daniel where they chose not to eat the king’s food to remain set apart from the Babylonians. They ate only vegetables and drank water for 10 days, and came out better than the other men. Their act of consecration and honour to God by sacrifice is a spiritual pattern for fasting.

By denying ourselves of food that is more pleasurable, we are offering God a sacrifice and making room for more of Him.
