True Tithing/Fasting/Offering/Sabath Lifestyle to God
ISAIAH 58 - True Fasting/Tithing/Offering/Daily Sabath Keeping to God
Isaiah 58
vs 1-5 (The Wrong Kind of Fast)
1 Cry out with a loud voice and do not hold back, raise your voice like a horn and declare to my
people their sins .
2 they seek me daily and say that they want to know my ways, as if they were a nation that HAD
practiced righteousness and had not abandoned the justice of their God. They ask me for righteous
judgements and delight to draw close to God.
3 They ask “Why do you not see when we fast? and why do you not notice WHEN WE AFFLICT
OURSELVES?” God answers >> “BECAUSE ON THE DAY OF YOUR FAST YOU PURSUE
YOUR OWN INTERESTS AND YOU OPPRESS YOUR WORKERS AND LABORERS WHO
WORK FOR YOU.
4 YOU FAST FOR STRIFE AND DEBATE AND THIS IS THE END OF THEM ALL, AND YOU
STRIKE WITH THE WICKED FIST <<< YOU CANNOT FAST AS YOU DO TODAY IN THIS WA
YAND HAVE Y OUR VOICE HEARD IN HEAVEN.”
As of many popular fasting methods of today based on Old testament teaching, this is the same kind of fast that people are mostly exposed to when “CHURCH GOING” in these last days amongst people and institutions who profess to want to lead people to God, most of this teaching being
carried down by tradition and what is known as church culture created by man to seem fitting as a way to worship God IN THE EYES OF MAN.
Truly as we can see here by the terminology “AFFLICT OURSELVES”, one can relate to the starvation methods used by most church goings gatherings that they call “fasting” where they exercise the tradition of abstaining from eating food or simply a certain kind of food for a temporary time in order for God to be able to answer their prayers.
THIS IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE METHOD OF FASTING IN THE EYES OF GOD just as
this chapter in Isaiah proves so.
Even if allowed to any degree, it is NOT THE PORTION of fasting in any of its ways that Gives God glory or gets the believer any of the given blessings for doing
Gods Will. It can ONLY be entitled to THE WILL OF MAN and not THE WILL OF GOD.
Isaiah 58:6-14
vs 6-9 (The Correct Kind of Fast)
6 - THIS IS THE FAST THAT I HAVE CHOSEN, TO REMOVE THE BONDS OF WICKEDNESS, to untie the yoke of bondage, to let the oppressed Go Free, and to break in half EVERY YOKE BAR,
7 - IT IS TO SHARE YOUR BREAD WITH THE HUNGRY, TO BRING THE POOR AND
HOMELESS INTO YOUR HOUSE, TO CLOTHE SOMEONE WHO IS NAKED WHEN YOU SEE
THEM AND NOT TO TURN YOUR BACK ON YOUR OWN FLESH(Your own brother/sister in need)
8 - then your light will shine through like the dawn, and your healing will spring up quickly. YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS WILL GO BEFORE YOU, AND THE GLORY OF JEHOVAH WILL BE YOUR REAR GUARD.
9 - THEN you will call AND JEHOVAH WILL ANSWER; You will Cry for Help, and he will say “HERE I AM” if you remove from AMONGST YOU the YOKE BAR and stop pointing your finger and speaking maliciously.
10 - If you grant the hungry what you yourself desire and satisfy those who are afflicted, then your light will shine even in the darkness, and your gloom will be like midday.
The bonds of wickedness and the yoke bar that Jesus speaks of has one root fruit of which few are to truly admit that they understand such as the truth of what the bible is saying to man. IT IS INFACT THE USE OF MONEY and the MONETARY SYSTEM of bondage which in turn enslaves a poor person to a rich one in its “given light” of what riches are.
As we can see The description of the corrected fast that God has given mankind is EXACTLY PARALLEL to Matthew 25 where the Sheep and Goats are shed light upon in terms of deeds and actions as well as their ETERNALLY EFFECTIVE OUTCOME if adhered in individual or group commitment.
The reason that Jehovah declares this is the acceptable manner in which to fast toward him is because on both ends of man’s affliction by the numerically overwhelming or outweighing ratio of individual idealization towards monetary acceptance that contains this Spiritual principle of oppression, which is truly more in its conscious acceptance before any terms of outworked usage, God knows that some people will be authoritatively paralyzed in the event of national or communal authorities which subject themselves and others under their control to such acceptation.
However, this REVELATION is given SO THAT THOSE VERY KINDS OF AUTHORITIES are enlightened to what their socio-economic situation is truly being ruled by and where all the negative effects of communal lifestyle in fact stem from without placing the blame of offence upon any person or their conduct when and while unawares of such Truth and otherwise mislead. Truly it is a Spiritual matter AND ONE THT GOD HAS PROMISED TO TAKE ALL EFFECTS INTO HIS OWN HANDS AS HE INFACT HAS TAKEN EVEN THE ROOT SEED OF THE EFFECTS INTO HIS OWN HANDS.
Revelation 18 is a good scripture to read and meditate on for anyone who wants to know more about the Spirit at work revolving around these yoke bars and yokes of bondage that God has pointed out here in Isaiah 58 using Isaiah the prophet’s ASTOUNDING ETERNAL REVELATION of GODS WAYS toppling those of what is known as the “modern world”.
Isaiah 58:11-14
vs 11-14 (The Promised Glory of God)
11 - Jehovah will always lead you and satisfy you even in a parched land, he will invigorate your bones and you will become like a well watered garden, like a spring who’s waters never fail.
12 - They will rebuild waste places (ancient ruins) in your name and you will restore the foundations of past generations. You will be called the repairer of the breach (broken walls), the restorer of roadways BY WHICH TO DWELL.
13 - If because of the Sabbath, yo refrain from pursuing your own interests on my holy day And you call the sabbath an exquisite, a holy day of Jehovah, a day to be glorified. And you glorify it rather than pursuing your own interests AND SPEAKING IDLE WORDS
14 - Then you will find your exquisite delight in Jehovah, and i will make you ride on the high
places of the earth. I will cause you to eat from the inheritance of Jacob your forefather, for the
mouth of Jehovah has spoken.
GOD KNOWING THAT BABYLON is a DESOLATE LAND OF PRINCIPLE still insists on making a way for His People despite such harsh conditions of yoke-age and bondage that they encounter.
He plea’s for ruling people to embrace His ways and for nations to walk in the light of His Glory.
Nevertheless for the few that do not embrace the methodology, principles and Evidently Living truth of Gods word, HE STILL PROMISES FOR HIS PEOPLE who will live under such rule (Parched land) abundance of His Goodness and mercy, to make them as a well watered garden.
The Speaking of THE SABBATH DAY being respected is a controversial statement for the many that have not come to the knowledge of SABBATH TEACHING that it extends into each and everyday’s living and lifestyle instead of only one out of seven days being the last one in respects to Gods resting during creation as is popularly derived by church theology.
The mention of IDLE words in fact addresses the manner of which people address one another and commune by use of speech and refers to its soundness in Christ and THANKSGIVING for His HOLY DAY(S) of which we all exist throughout together as a global community of communities on
earth.
