Fast

Daily Vitamin

Fast, ISA. 58:6-8 (TPT), “This is the kind of fast that I desire: Remove the heavy chains of oppression! Stop exploiting your workers! Set free the crushed and mistreated! Break off every yoke of bondage! Share your food with the hungry! Provide for the homeless and bring them into your home! Clothe the naked! Don’t turn your back on your own flesh and blood! Then my favor will bathe you in sunlight until you are like the dawn bursting through a dark night. And then suddenly your healingf will manifest. You will see your righteousness march out before you, and the glory of Yahweh will protect you from all harm!”

Do we fast to get or to give? Fasting is good for your health, b. But what Isaiah is talking is not just a spiritual fast. It is also  physical; its about giving not receiving. Just like James talks about true religion or spirituality is taking take care those in need!

James 1:27 (TPT), “True spirituality that is pure in the eyes of our Father God is to make a difference in the lives of the orphans, and widows in their troubles, and to refuse to be corrupted by the world’s values.”

The church will call a fast to seek Daddy God for answers for so many things, yet they forget what a true fast is! Fasting for answers, in itself, isn’t bad or wrong. It just misses the point. Just like religion can, it becomes a bless me club instead of blessing Daddy God.

We are called to make disciples, to cast out demons, and to release the bonds of others. Let’s start with taking care of the needs of those around us — whatever they may be! Let’s sow true love wherever we go by seeing needs and filling them. Then watch and see Holy Spirit move in your worship services and in every area of your life!

Be a Blessing, Sir Gregory
