There
is a great deal to learn here about fasting. The promises are important, but fasting needs
to be used correctly (not every prayer will be answered). The main purpose of fasting (and one that I
don’t think we appreciate enough) is fasting to let the oppressed go free. Who are the oppressed? Well, it undoubtedly includes the poor who we
help with our offerings, but it also includes each of us who are oppressed by
sin. As I face my oppressor in my
moments of temptations, I need to be more aware and remember to call upon the
Lord in fasting.
