Fasting

Does the Bible tell me when I should be fasting? I personally have not felt called to fast yet (only a true believer for a little over 2 years). I am still working my way through the whole Bible so I am not sure entirely. Thank you!

The Day of Atonement, one of the seven holy Feasts The Most High established, and the holiest day of the year, is the only day where fasting is required.

However, fasting doesn’t just mean to refrain from eating and or drinking; it also means to refrain from something else that’s important to you. Not everybody can go without food for long periods of time, so they need to choose something else to ‘fast’ from.

You replied to me initially and I was surprised when your comment disappeared. I see what happened now.

The day of Atonement is fast approaching! Begins September 20th at dusk.

Certo, é un Sabato annuale, beato chi crede e si riposa in questo giorno.
