Fasting Because You Are Broke. Is It Acceptable Before God? by Nobody: 9:40pm On Mar 21, 2015

Those days, when one doesn't have cash or food items in school, we simply say "I convert it to fasting" grin

I know Our God is a Merciful God and also a Consuming fire cool

This "conversion", has it played out nice for anyone?

Is it acceptable before God?

Re: Fasting Because You Are Broke. Is It Acceptable Before God? by braine(m): 8:30am On Mar 22, 2015

No. Only hypocrites do that. You can't deceive God. Except I was asked to fast, meanwhile I'm broke.

Re: Fasting Because You Are Broke. Is It Acceptable Before God? by LogoDWhiz(m): 8:30am On Mar 22, 2015

When you are. Fasting, you are denying yourself an enjoyment u should av.
Like eating, which u should normally do.

But in a scenario where u don't av food and you're fasting.
I don't think its right.

God is not a man, he doesn't reason like a man.
So, I can't say if its acceptable or not!

Doubt if it would be.
The intention of the fasting is the most vital.
The fast has a time frame and how God ordained it to be done
Fasting cause there is no food is starvation not fasting.

Did God tell you he accepts any fasting in the first place?
