I add these next articles (parts) to help the reader understand the concepts of the previous articles. You see, unless you understand the meaning of some very important concepts you will not understand my points. Following you will find my definition (from the Bible) of Praying, Fasting, Faith and Works.


Praying

How do you pray? I will tell you that no person, inside the church or outside the church ever taught me how to pray. In the beginning I was clueless about praying and wh… Continue

Fasting

How do you fast? Once again not one individual from any church ever taught me how to fast and I must say, the Bible does not explain it either but it does give guidelines. All I can offer you is what I do as I have not ever received an understanding from the spirit on this matter.

The question is, “Do we still have to keep the Sabbath as our worship day?” I will try to answer this via scripture. First let us describe what the Sabbath is.



The Day

The Sabbath is the seventh day of God’s creative week. This is described and verified all throughout the Old Testament scriptures. The Sabbath is part of God’s old covenant law and the fourth commandment as given by God. The Sabbath is defined as a day of worship where little to no work was to be done. The Sabbat… Continue
