PRAYER AND FASTING WORKS

ISA 58:6-12

{58:6} [Is] not this the fast
that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to
undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free,
and that ye break every yoke? {58:7} [Is it] not to deal thy
bread to the hungry, and that thou bring the poor that are
cast out to thy house? when thou seest the naked, that thou
cover him; and that thou hide not thyself from thine own
flesh?
{58:8} Then shall thy light break forth as the morning,
and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy
righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the LORD
shall be thy rereward. {58:9} Then shalt thou call, and the
LORD shall answer; thou shalt cry, and he shall say, Here I
[am.] If thou take away from the midst of thee the yoke, the
putting forth of the finger, and speaking vanity; {58:10}
And [if] thou draw out thy soul to the hungry, and satisfy
the afflicted soul; then shall thy light rise in obscurity, and
thy darkness [be] as the noonday: {58:11} And the LORD
shall guide thee continually, and satisfy thy soul in drought,
and make fat thy bones: and thou shalt be like a watered
garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.
{58:12} And [they that shall be] of thee shall build the old
waste places: thou shalt raise up the foundations of many
generations; and thou shalt be called, The repairer of the
breach, The restorer of paths to dwell in.
