Fasting & Prayers

I hear the Lord say,

“Declare a holy fast, tell my people to humble themselves before me, to examine their hearts, to cleanse themselves, to refrain themselves from touching anything unclean, not to defile themselves as they pour all their hearts before me in fasting & prayers“.

“Tell my people, who are called by my name to consecrate themselves in fasting and in prayers. Tell them to be solemn, mourn, and travail before me”.
“Tell my people I delight in brokenness and contriteness of heart through fasting and prayers“.
Says the Lord God Almighty!
