Fasting And Prayer

For those that believe in keeping the feasts of the Lord, this is either the day after or the day of Yom Kippur. It is during this time that those that keep this feast are to fast and reflect on the need for repentance. It is a time of affliction, a time of repentance, a time for change.

Leviticus 23:26 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
27 Also on the tenth day of this seventh month there shall be a day of atonement: it shall be an holy convocation unto you; and ye shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord.
28 And ye shall do no work in that same day: for it is a day of atonement, to make an atonement for you before the Lord your God.
29 For whatsoever soul it be that shall not be afflicted in that same day, he shall be cut off from among his people.
30 And whatsoever soul it be that doeth any work in that same day, the same soul will I destroy from among his people.
31 Ye shall do no manner of work: it shall be a statute for ever throughout your generations in all your dwellings.
32 It shall be unto you a sabbath of rest, and ye shall afflict your souls: in the ninth day of the month at even, from even unto even, shall ye celebrate your sabbath.

This year in particular more than ever, it is a time for prayer for all believers. There is much evil in the world, as if the world had gone mad. Pray for peace in Jerusalem, and in our homes as well.

Prayer
Father, we exalt You. On this solemn day, we need Your kingdom. Give us today Your abundant provision. Forgive us when we fall short. Please take away the evil and craziness in the world today Father. Protect us, heal us, and deliver us. In Jesus’ (Yeshua’s) name. Amen.
