Then why do you keep denying them and stop discouraging those that do? oc OC, it's pointless. There is a difference between engaging in honest yet heated debate and deliberately whacking a hornets nest. Oh LadyRaven, I do so agree I just sincerly feel for Hannah who was seeking to know more about fasting when starting this thread. OC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to pray on the correct Bible to read and apply to my life Here is another Biblical reference: '"Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke, to set the oppressed free and break every yoke? Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am still in prayer and I keep coming up with it is important for me to fast. God has placed this in my heart for me to build a deeper relationship to know God's will in my life. He has also placed in my heart that i really need to research and study to learn his word. (which I have been doing) But now i plan on going deeper than I have ever gone before. Thanks for being on my journey with me! God is Good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
