2 | is fasting for today? | Luke 5:33 | gracefull | 80123 | ||
"i am confused no one is teaching it except the pentecostals" I am sure by the word pentecostals you mean full gospel believers who believe in the Baptism of the Holy Spirit as seperate from the work of the Holy spirit at the new birth and who believe in the present working of the Holy spirit in the charisma gifts...(all, if not most, are not members of the Pentecostal denomination) "is fasting still for today? or Jesus never meant to let believers fast?" Jesus infered that after He, the bridegroom, was gone, fasting would be appropriate. "But the days will come; and when the bridegroom is taken away from them, then they will fast in those days." Paul fasting while waiting for Annanias to come and lay hands on him to receive his sight and the Holy Spirit. Acts 9:8-9, 17 Isaiah 58 is an excellent chapter to study what God considers an acceptable fast, because simply depriving ones self of something is simply deprivation. (Isaiah 58:1-5 is unacceptable) When one fasts-food, social activities, entertainments, anything- it must be replaced with some form of worship. It is an excellent way to break physical and mental bondages in one's life. Surrender tohse things that hinder and look to the Holy Sirit and the Word for the deliverance. (a time of pruning) Isaiah 58:6-7 IE-a time to seek the Lord's guidance through His word and by His Spirit. Isaiah 58:8-12 describes the rewards of the acceptable fast. God bless |
