For thou wilt not forsake my soul in sheol Hebrew original language Scripture from Psalm 16
"For thou wilt not forsake my soul in sheol, thou wilt not give thy merciful one for him to see decay."

Thought for Today: Monday April 01

Prayer is not just to hear yourself talking, prayer is also to be quiet and waiting, giving YHVH a chance to speak to you. (Prayer: Father, I know and believe that You are able to do far more than I can pray for or even imagine, because You are Almighty. May this truth always be my guiding Light, amein)

Cease to hear instruction, my son, and you will stray from the words of knowledge.
Proverbs 19:27 ESV

Entropy is the natural state of everything, including the human mind and sense of righteousness. We must be constantly reminded and exercised in truth and skill in order to keep it sharp and useful.

Question:
I've been going through and outstanding series on Prayer and Fasting. It shows how fasting was complete, no food and no water. People literally were kept alive by the word of God. [Dev 8:3]

They make the case that, while prayer can be without fasting, fasting should never be without prayer.

My question is...what about communion? There is a verse where it indicates not even a taste of anything should be had. [Yonah 3:7] Yet, communion is part of prayer and drawing close to God.

I can't ask the ones doing the teaching since they believe the Last Supper was a Pesach seder, which I don't agree with. That does not fit the time line.

So, what do you all think? Obviously, communion is not a meal. However, it would be a taste.

Is it OK to have communion during a time of fasting? Or does it make the fast incomplete, possibly nullifying it?

Comment

I do agree with that communion would be classified as "taste". It does however depend on what your vow/aim is with the way of fasting.

If you make it out in your heart to be a complete fast then that is what you should keep.

It's the same as making a Nazarene vow and then deciding midway through to cut your brow as it is annoying you. The vow was for a specific purpose and has specific rules.

Also, if we look at Ananias and Sapphira, the money from the sale of their house was theirs to do with what they wanted to, but they tried to deceive others and was struck down for that.

By keeping a fast, it is within your power to decide how you want to keep it. Just don't deceive others or yourself by saying that you are doing it one way and then doing it a different way just to look better in their eyes.
