Fasting...

i was going to post on the "I AM" but i just felt like posting this. its a short short study on fasting. the "I AM" is comming soon!

fast 2
To abstain from food.
To eat very little or abstain from certain foods, especially as a religious discipline. n.
The act or practice of abstaining from or eating very little food.
A period of such abstention or self-denial.

Fasting is to abstain from something, primarily food.

the question arises ..

Q:WHY FAST?
A: ISA 58:6 -12


Isa 58:6-12 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? (7) Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own flesh? (8) Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the LORD shall be thy rereward. (9) Then shalt thou call, and the LORD shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I am. If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity; (10) And if thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and thy darkness be as the noonday: (11) And the LORD shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought, and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not. (12) And they that shall be of thee shall build the old waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.

this is a very shot insight in to fasting, when i get in to it i will get in to it!.

I AM : "for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins" (remember HE is in italics!)
