THE POINT OF A SPIRITUAL FAST

MONDAY MORNING MESSAGE>>>THE POINT OF A SPIRITUAL FAST What if we as believers have been bringing fast before the Lord but not in its entirety? Therefore the fast is not yielding the desired fruit in our lives, i I heard many teachings on fasting none quite broke down the purpose of a fast for me like this. But if we are carnal and heathen then be that, but if we are spiritual people then we need to be that including fasting and prayer and not just for ourselves but for those around us. Sometimes we get caught up with doing right thing for the wrong reason when is looking at our heart. But does not the Bible says to Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. -Galatians 6:2 Isaiah 58:6 -God says, No, what I want in a fast is this: to liberate those tied down and held back by injustice to lighten the load of those heavily burdened, to free the oppressed and shatter every type of oppression. 7 A fast for Me involves sharing your food with people who have none, giving those who are homeless a space in your home, Giving clothes to those who need them, and not neglecting your own family. 8 Then, oh then, your light will break out like the warm, golden rays of a rising sun; and in an instant, you will be healed.Your rightness before the Lord will precede and protect you; the glory of the God will follow and defend you. 9 Then when you do call out, “My God, Where are You?” The Eternal One will answer, “I am here, I am here. ”If you remove the yoke of oppression from the downtrodden among you, stop accusing others, and do away with mean and inflammatory speech. 10 If you make sure that the hungry and oppressed have all that they need, then your light will shine in the darkness, and even your bleakest moments will be bright as a clear day. 11 The Eternal One will never leave you; He will lead you in the way that you should go. When you feel dried up and worthless, God will nourish you and give you strength And you will grow like a garden lovingly tended; you will be like a spring whose water never runs out.
