Acceptable fast
In many religions people are fasting to convey their prayers and thanksgiving to their gods. Some are fasting in particular days. Some are fasting in particular months. But they don't know if their fasting is acceptable to the Lord. Most of them fasting for their daily needs. And for their profession, education, health etc. But The Lord said to them in Isaiah chapter 58. It was said to the people of Israel. But it is fit to all people who are really seeking the Lord and His Justice. Particularly the sons of Cruel man must know about it. The Lord says; In fast, in the day of your fast you find pleasure, and exploit all your laborers. Indeed you fast for strife and debate, and "to strike with the fist of wickedness". You will not fast as you do this day, to make your voice heard on high. Is it a fast that I was chosen, a day for a man to afflict his soul? Is it to bow down his head like a bulrush and to spread out sacketcloth and ashes? Would you call this a fast, and an acceptable day to the Lord? Is this not the fast that I have chosen; to loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, to let the oppressed go free, and that you break every yoke? Is it not to share your bread with the hungry, and that you bring to your house the poor who are cast out, when you see the naked, that you cover him, and not hide yourself from your own flesh? Then your light shall break forth like the morning, your healing shall spring forth speedily, and your righteousness shall go before you; the glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard. Isaiah 58:3 to 8. The Lord says outward humble is not total surrender to the Lord. Our inner man shall bow to the Truth, righteousness, and mercy. Many wore dress of fasting, but their inner man seeks cheap pleasure. Some may fast like this too. Lord I am fasting to strike with the fist of wickedness. (guns,RDX,time bombs etc) So give me 70 girls in heaven!!! It is not the fast. Their god is evil. The powerful must loose the bonds of wickedness and let oppressed go free. It is the real fast. And break every yoke. The yoke of slavery, the yoke of heavy work burdens. It is the real fast. The new global economy and new economic policies oppressing the poor and Labors. The Intelligence must undo their bonds. It is the real fast and acceptable by the Lord. Many bible scholars are saying this is about spiritual meaning. The poor means the innocents of bible. The oppressed means oppressed by the evil. And it is not having literal meaning. But now a question raise on them. Is not the evil that the rich oppress the poor? Is not the evil that the wicked oppress innocent? This words also having the Literal meaning. Many says do not oppose the evil. But The Lord Jesus Said Resist the evil so then he will flee from you. So i warn them the people of faith without work. Do not twist the word of God. He will twist your Life. Pit to Palace. Palace to cage.It is an echo of his call. Praise and Glory all goes to the Lord Yahweh and his beloved son Jesus Christ. Amen.
