Fasting; Breaks the Chains...
Isaiah 58:6
“Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen:
to loose the chains of injustice
and untie the cords of the yoke,
to set the oppressed free
and break every yoke?”
Why We Fast?
"If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."
2 Chronicles 7:14
We Fast for 7 Things (By Faith) for God to do:
1. For increase (to rebuke the devourer) for the church.
2. Poverty to be broken off our membership
3. A New Renovation
