True fasting cleanse the heart, strengthen humility, deepens love!

from Coptic SMS · host Coptic priest

1st Sunday of Lent Feb 22, 2026If you do not forgive those who have wronged you, do not trouble yourself with fasting. If you refuse to forgive your brother’s debt and remain angry with him, your fasting is useless- God will not accept it. Fasting will not benefit you until you grow in love and in the hope that comes from faith. Anyone who fasts while remaining angry and holding hatred in their heart is rejecting God, and salvation is far from them.— Ephrem the Syrian

JOEL 2 GENERATION PODCAST DJ (David John) This is a Podcast for people who are hungry for God - for God Himself, for His Inerrant Word and for His Kingdom. An Apostolic faith was delivered to the Church that was complete (Jude 1:3). It is THAT FAITH that we must contend for, teach, and guard. God is raising up a faithful, obedient remnant, a 'Joel 2 Generation', who will not settle for anything less than everything the Lord will release at this time in history. A people who are modern-day sons/daughters of Issachar (1 Chron. 12:32) who discern the times in which we live and who know what God's people should do.False Shepherds have distorted God's Word and watered down the cost of following Jesus. (thus our new picture of Coptic martyrs at the hands of ISIS terrorists). Judgment always begins in the household of faith (1 Peter 4:17). God is exposing falsehood and purifying His Bride. He has always done that throughout Church History and is doing so now in an accelerated way.
