*Fasting is not Dieting*
-Eddy Joel Silsbee
May God, who created all things by His word, reform us even more.
Not having a flower on the head,
Not cooking meat at home,
Not wearing new clothes,
Not having anything special at home,
Drink only juice or water or coffee or milk without food,
Eating only one meal a day,
Such are called as "Self-control" or diet.. That can't be called as *fasting* !!
Fasting means being hunger.
I mean, *nothing should go inside mouth* !!
Also, we need to note that the place whereever fasting comes in scripture is always accompanied with prayer !!
Jesus did not command us to fast like him for 40 days, but told us to obey His word.
Is it not to give your bread to those in need, and to let the poor who have no resting-place come into your house? to put a robe on the unclothed one when you see him, and not to keep your eyes shut for fear of seeing his flesh? Isa. 58:7
Doing what is not told and leaving what is commanded is Violation !!
Let us do only according to Christ's word. God will exalt us.
