Joshua Knight is a father of 3 in Denver, Colorado, working as a Wastewater Engineer. Joshua volunteered with his wife and children as a Catholic Missionary for the Lay Mission Helpers in Cameroon, Africa for three years, assisting communities in finding water for their villages. He volunteers with a youth group at St. Catherine's Catholic Church.
"This 10-day fast follows Jesus. The apostles tried to expel a demon, but could not. After Jesus completed the job for them, they asked why they themselves couldn't do it. Jesus explained that for some devils, you can only remove them with prayer and fasting (Mark 9:29). Guantanamo is a very real demon in our world which cannot be tolerated. We must expel it and all demons like it from our midst, and to do this, we must pray and fast.
"I believe this evil is in part caused our current monetary system, which not only places horrendous burdens on the backs of the many, many poor, but causes and fuels wars, torture and murder. Our society is currently blinded to this evil driving the entire world economy. As stated at the Money Masters website, http://www.themoneymasters.com, a just society isn't created by just laws, but our current system of law quells good and allows evil to flourish.
"May this small token of a 10-day fast teach me to deny myself, pickup my cross, and follow Him. May it inspire others to do the same to make our world the kingdom of God it was meant to be."
