It is impossible to keep the law there are 10 Commandments and over 6000 laws and if you break one you have failed totally. It says keep my commandments if you love me and you will truly want to keep his commandments if you love him but it is not possible. We do not live by the law. There are two Commandments in the New Testament and the whole ballgame changed when Jesus Christ died on the cross
Debra; There have been attempts to Judaize, and to bring the Disciples into bondage to some outward form of religious tradition or other from the earliest days. But that is not the kingdom of God! Paul wrote"Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holy day, or of the new moon, or of the Sabbath days: which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ."
Debra God wants every day HOLY not just the Sabbath. and he wants this holiness to come from Christ in us via the new birth, THE new covenant ETC.And that Christ in us cannot sin thus we keep the commandments. A day is a 1000 yrs in the sight of GOD,THUS THE REAL SABBATH IS A 1000 YR DAY WHEN CHRIST WILL REIGN ON THE EARTH,David saw this earth at REST and full of his GLORY, REST IMPLIES A 7 TH DAY
Debra under this New Covenant we abide in Christ 24/7 Not 1 day a week,Its like a marriage 24/7 FOREVER.Jesus said if the Branches do not abide in the vine (Christ ) continually 24/7 they bring forth NO FRUIT , The disciples followed Jesus 24/7 not 1 day a week. He is our temple and we are his temple thats y he is saying abide in me and i in you meaning 24/7 like a marriage, he is our Bridegroom .
It still amazes me how many professing Christians do not keep the Sabbath holy, which is Friday Sunset to Saturday Sunset, not to mention the Ten Commandments. "IF you love Me, keep My Commandments." -GOD. Shabbat Shalom.
The Word is saying, "The Fast", is to get your eyes off yourself. Dealing to others the depth into the teachings you have received. You can only teach what you know to be true by what you have experienced from God. Anything less is unfruitful to others and shows the degree of your own comprehension. Luke 22:31-2
When your faith allows you to overcome the tricks of Satan, then strengthen others.
This precept is admonishing all awaken israelites to speak to their fellow brethren and sisters about their forgotten heritage. Jeremiah 17:4 let you know that Jacob children lost their way by sinning against their power. A command from the Heavenly Father is to show those lost sheep how they continue to sin against God. How can one find them? Check out Deuteronomy 28:46 the sign to identify.
V. 7 - the 'bread' is the truth of the Word of God; 'thy house' is the church where he will hear this truth; the 'naked' are those not covered by His spirit of holiness - Acts2:38; 1 Pet. 1:15-16; "in all manner of CONVERSATION refers to not just mouth, but to our physical being, how we dress, our body language. Webster's defines 'conversation' in scripture as how we appear to others.

Thank you trecentillion plus times you highly esteemed servants of God for affording us this platform.We are both equipped and perfected as our Triune God explicates what True Fasting and Prayer entails(Verses 6-7;10) and the benefits that accrue to us for doing it (verses 8-9;11-14)!We take a leaf from this God's prophecy!
Cry aloud yes is very good to cry out the word of our God who give out his son for us. and as a christian we most not stop to make our voice to be heard in this end time so i will beg my fellow christian to use all they can to tell the world about our Lord Jesus Christ and his coming. thanks God Bless you all
the word of the most High God is as new as Him every day the enablement to do God will is every human advantage .GOD grant us the grace and enablement to obey His commandment till the end
The very fact that in the first book of Genesis...God says let us mold man in our image..emphasis on "our"..plural..meaning God the Father, Son, Holy Spirit..we are all lower case god's....keeping our bodies pure...holy..is our reasonable service..in fact our expectation....God regards true fasting..not just as a mere exercise..or deprivation..but Wholly in our temperance..our love for one another...and in our Charity not just giving ...He will cause us to ride upon the great high places on earth...abundant riches..spiritual and material prosperity!
God is speaking directly to my situation and my heart. This is also confirmation on the Book of Joel 2 where God invites his children back to the heart of worship. To return to God with supplication, mouning and fasting. Im so inlove with Jesus but im batteling in fasting and these scriptures God speaks directly to me. Im in desperate need to get my spiritually life going and need guidance how to overcome this obsticle. I so much want to fast on a regular basis.
Isaiah 58Vs13 14 hints on the importance of obeying and keeping the Sabbath Day Holy the 7th Day of The week 'Saturday ' many are lost in the worldly made sabbath day instead of worshipping him on his holy day the Godly made Sabbath. Here enlightens us on the reward of obeying his commandment "4th ". May we be blessed as we obey. Amen
Isaiah Chapter 58 seeks to assures us that when we do unto others as we expect others to do unto us, his blessings will be bestowed on us, and all these attributes are pathways for eternal life. See below a relevant scripture .Matt.25 34 35 And He willput the sheep on His right, and the goats on His left. Then the King will say to those on His right, "Come you who are blessed of My Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave Me something to drink, I was a stranger, and you invited Me in..... "
I believe that we show the love of Jesus. We do what Jesus has done. We share like Jesus we love like Jesus. We give likeJesus. We honour God through Jesus because we will fail. Jesus will never fail. And we believe in Jesus the one who does the work in our daily life. Its all about JESUS.
Verses 13 14 are 2 of my favorite. I wonder, though, what precisely does it mean to "ride upon the high places of the earth "?? "and feed thee with the heritage of Jacob thy father "??
The entire bible is to be honored, and obeyed Isaiah 58 is a reminder that we choosing to do things our way is not acceptable to God.Trust in the Lord with all our hearts and not our understanding, let the Holy Spirit do His work.
When your faith allows you to overcome the tricks of Satan, then strengthen others.
The work we should be doing daily if we want to go too heaven!
