The Fast of Love

By THE SPIRIT it is written in Isaiah chapter 58:

6 “Is this not the fast that I have chosen:
To loose the bonds of wickedness,
To undo the heavy burdens,
To let the oppressed go free,
And that you break every yoke?
7 Is it not to share your bread with the hungry,
And that you bring to your house the poor who are cast out;
When you see the naked, that you cover him,
And not hide yourself from your own flesh?
8 Then your light shall break forth like the morning,
Your healing shall spring forth speedily,
And your righteousness shall go before you;
The glory of the LORD shall be your rear guard.”
 

FATHER provides us an abbreviated list of acts of Love in the above passage.  We are to minister to those in need.  As we do, we open ourselves up to verse 8 where the result of our action is rewarded: light, healing, righteousness, and Glory all become accessible to us.  What a blessed promise given to those who establish a proper fast where the focus is a more intimate relationship with FATHER.

Love will break every yoke and the oppressed can no longer be held in bondage.  The bonds of wickedness cannot withstand the power of Love and all those heavy burdens are easily remove by the acts of Love.  People often look at fasting in a negative sense because they are required to give up something that “self” wants.  Let us look at fasting in a positive light where it releases a greater manifestation of Love in a person’s life.  When one fasts with the proper attitude then appropriate results are manifested.  FATHER’S Glory encompasses those who walk in Love and allow their light to shine forth in a darkened world.
