Sorry to miss posting yesterday. I'll try and catch up on this study out of Isaiah 58 with a few phrases out of verse 8. It says, "Then your light shall break forth like the morning. Your healing shall spring forth speedily." Talk about some great fruit that can result in a life style of fasting! Through fasting, our spiritual ears are quickened to hear the voice of God. So many times people run for cousel too often while failing to wait on the Lord through prayer and fasting. He is able to come and give us the direction we need. May there be great light illuminating our path as we finish this time of fasting!
Then Isaiah speaks of how healing can come through God's chosen fast. I know many are engaging in a "Daniel Fast" where they are abstaining from sweets and meats. Daniel, when in training for service to King Nebuchadnessar, requested that he not have to eat of the king's "special foods". He and his friends stuck to a diet of vegetables - and after a 10 day test Daniel was brought before the king. What was the testimony? Daniel and his friends impressed the king with the wisdom and favor God had given them. There was none that could compare to these men who were set apart for the purposes of God. They had a health that was in their bodies, souls and spirits. May the Lord cause His healing grace to flow through our bodies as we consecrate ourselves before Him through this fasting period! May our health spring forth speedily in Jesus name.
