21 DAYS FASTING. DAY 15, EVENING PRAYER AND PROPHETIC WORD EXALTATION

21 DAYS FASTING. DAY 15, EVENING PRAYER AND PROPHETIC WORD EXALTATION  SESSION The true objective of fasting, as it is captured in the book of Acts of the Apostle, underscores the power of community. It is said the brethren had all things in common. It is clear from what the Lord was emphasizing according to the prophetic writings of Isaiah that fasting is meant to assist the ecclesia to live and work in the Spirit of a common kingdom agenda. Thus, the description in the entire chapter of Isaiah 58 was a clear testimony to how critical the matters of correct fasting means to God for the healing of his people. Matters of mutual faith, unity, service, compassion, and respect for each member as a society were high in God’s mind, rather than the attitude of selfishness, pride, oppression, feast fighting, and other forms of injustice seen among the Israelites. Fasting to God’s people should foster faith and a covenanted lifestyle that should accelerate the purposes of the Father. Rather, what was described by the people of Israel was the complete opposite of what the Father desires to see among them. It is clear that there is more than one reason for fasting. Yet, the foundational value of fasting should not be mistaken for, or taken for granted, which is the call to heart circumcision that produces the fruit of righteousness.
