Ezra 8:21 (KJV) Then I proclaimed a fast there, at the river of Ahava, that we might afflict ourselves before our God, to seek of Him a right way for us, & for our little ones, & for all our substance. Neh1:4 It came to pass, when I heard these words, that I sat down & wept, & mourned certain days, & fasted, & prayed before the God of heaven, 2 Chron 20:3 Jehoshaphat feared, & set himself to seek the LORD, & proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah. Joel 2:15 15 Blow the trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly: — Fasting was a common practice to seek God’s HELP! Jesus reminded us in Mark 9:29 …. This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer & fasting. Telling us that some things will only change when we humble ourselves by giving up something that is important to us! Are you willing to fight the good fight of faith? What will you give up, in order to get God’s full HELP? Now would be a good time to get His HELP to restore goodness to our country! Love Mel
