Fasting,
Written in Matthew 6:16 Moreover when ye fast, be not, (do you see it WHEN you fast, not IF you fast, so its very important) as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, they have their reward.
Written in Isaiah 58:5&6 Is it such a fast that I have chosen? a day for a man to afflict his soul? is it to bow down his head as a bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him? will you call this a fast, and an acceptable day to the LORD?
Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?
Please read the whole chapter of Isaiah 58, very encouraging!
You know there are diverse types of fasting in the bible, 1- day, 2-day, 3- day, 40-day, particular foods fasting etc.
When you fast with whole of your heart, you will grow deeper in Abba Father. John 4:23-24 But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father is seeking such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
Please do a study on fasting, it will bless you.
I want to share with you a personal answer I have received in past January. I got sick first week of January, I don’t now what it was. That time at work we had to report to upper management and I had to stay home for 10 days (because I did not conform to the rules of c,v,1,9 and neither participate in it in any way, no jab) I did not wanted to be nose swapped, period. I was going to lose privileges at work because of my” behavior”. Being home the sickness was gone in 3 days, I was home 10 days, I prayed I decided to seek the Lord further and pray, I was concerned for the actions I would receive at work. Abba answered me through fasting during that week. His word came through in Psalm 9:15 The heathen are sunk down in the pit that they made: in the net which they hid is their own foot taken.
I returned to work after 10 days, no action or discipline were held against me.
O Abba Father is so good Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah.
Psalms 145:18 The LORD is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth.
I pray this helps a few of you, please feel free to reach out to me.
Love,
Johan
( note, a different way of fasting, I regular fast by skipping lunch, supper etc. like during work days)
