PILLAR FAST: DAYS 1 - 3
Starting February 24th A.LIFE will be participating in an 8 week Fast. We believe this will not only be edifying for us individually but as a body as well. You are invited to join us in what we believe God is currently doing through His ministry. Please read the foundational scripture, Joshua 5:1-12, and watch the video below to receive more understanding and details about our fast. #Forward
PILLAR I – FASTING
DAYS 1 – 3 | February 24 – 26
SCRIPTURE: ISAIAH 58:37 (AMP)
‘Why have we fasted,’ they say, ‘and You do not see it? Why have we humbled ourselves and You do not notice? ’ Hear this [O Israel], on the day of your fast [when you should be grieving for your sins] you find something you desire [to do], And you force your hired servants to work [instead of stopping all work, as the law teaches]. “The facts are that you fast only for strife and brawling and to strike with the fist of wickedness. You do not fast as you do today to make your voice heard on high. “Is a fast such as this what I have chosen, a day for a man to humble himself [with sorrow in his soul]? Is it only to bow down his head like a reed And to make sackcloth and ashes as a bed [pretending to have a repentant heart]? Do you call this a fast and a day pleasing to the Lord? “[Rather] is this not the fast which I choose, To undo the bonds of wickedness, To tear to pieces the ropes of the yoke, To let the oppressed go free And break apart every [enslaving] yoke? “Is it not to divide your bread with the hungry and bring the homeless poor into the house; When you see the naked, that you cover him, And not to hide yourself from [the needs of] your own flesh and blood?
