Because of unbelief in the Living Christ, the synagogue of Satan continues to enthrall and possess people, trying to emulate Hell upon Earth. This is not just "current events", this is how important you and all souls are to God that the devils call it a crime to pray in the privacy of your mind across the street from an abortion temple of Molech. Thoughts and prayers are good, but so is the essential detail to being our brothers' keepers and otherwise obeying Almighty God: fasting.

Deliverance, exorcisms, the casting out of devils, you need the full armor of God to get through the day, and help others do so too - even the cultists and the possessed demoniacs. ️ God help us all.

Context: Saint Mark chapter 9 verses 25 through 29:

25 When Jesus saw that the people came running together, He rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him, "Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him."

26 And the spirit cried, and rent him sore, and came out of him: and he was as one dead; insomuch that many said, he is dead.

27 But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose.

28 And when He was come into the house, His disciples asked Him privately, "Why could not we cast him out?"

29 And He said unto them, "This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting."
 
I would offer fasting as the true. . it is the sharing of the power of the gospel Both the literal seen and spiritual invisible

Isaiah 58 a commentary on the true fast

Isaiah 58 Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins.;Yet they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways, as a nation that did righteousness, and forsook not the ordinance of their God: they ask of me the ordinances of justice; they take delight in approaching to God. ;Wherefore have we fasted, say they, and thou seest not? wherefore have we afflicted our soul, and thou takest no knowledge? Behold, in the day of your fast ye find pleasure, and exact all your labours.Behold, ye fast for strife and debate, and to smite with the fist of wickedness: ye shall not fast as ye do this day, to make your voice to be heard on high.Is it such a fast that I have chosen? a day for a man to afflict his soul? is it to bow down his head as a bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him? wilt thou call this a fast, and an acceptable day to the Lord? 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?;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?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 reward.;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;;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 noon day:;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,(water of the word) whose waters (gospel) fail not.

One example , when the Pharisees from the older more knowledgeable to the younger desired to stone a woman >Jesus bend down and wrote their names in the dust. twice to emphasize Two is the witness that our unseen God has spoke

John 8:6-7;This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground,(dust) as though he heard them not. So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her And again, he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.

After the rebuke the oldest to the youngsters left the scene.

The fast in action can be viewed in a couple of ways..

Jeremiah 17:12-14A glorious high throne from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary.;O Lord, the hope of Israel, all that forsake thee shall be ashamed, and they that depart from me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken the Lord, the fountain of living waters.

With John imprisoned in doubt through Christ sent him a thirst for hearing the gospel fast.

Luke 7:22Then Jesus answering said unto them, Go your way, and tell John what things ye have seen and heard; how that the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, to the poor the gospel is preached.

Same with David imprisoned in doubt through Christ sent him a thirst for hearing the gospel fast .

In the parable metaphors like gate by Jerusalem (city of bread to represent the Christ and water to represent blood. the warning unless you eat the flesh and drink the blood in that companion parable in John 6

Using three throughput the Bible to denote the end of the matter. Three mighty men of renown of God who gave their life in jeopardy. . literal water as if it was literal blood

2 Samuael 23 16-17; And the three mighty men brake through the host of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem,(Flesh bread) that was by the gate, and took it, and brought it to David: nevertheless he would not drink thereof, but poured it out unto the Lord.And he said, Be it far from me, O Lord, that I should do this: is not this the blood of the men that went in jeopardy of their lives? therefore he would not drink it. These things did these three mighty men.

David would not drink knowing the demonstration was promises beforehand with the Son of man Jesus .He drank the blood giving his Spirit life in jeopardy. . pouring it out on dying flesh and blood
 
I remembered this just now, what is sometimes called The Parable of the Master and the Unforgiving Servant. An incident recorded on YouTube exemplified it; a dedicated street preacher had to help someone tormented by devils. It finally sticks with me that in the context of current events, and my own anger about it all, is that we cannot help each other in the worldwide chaos if we cannot forgive the enemy.

I would not argue with GOD about Lucifer and the person who has not wronged you yet... It's in the Lord's prayer. It's in the fact God did not strike us down for the last sin we committed. "Hate the sin and not the sinner" is cute until you realize your soul depends on this Truth; and Christ is Truth.

I cannot attempt to confront the enemy in my neighborhood if I have hatred in my heart against them for being devilish, for I would myself be overcome with demons by not having the very Love of Christ in my own heart. We would all fail if not for the grace of Christ alone. I digressed. Sorry.

This lesson is given by the Lord our God in Saint Matthew chapter 18, especially verses 32 through 35:

32 Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, "O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me:

33 Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellow servant, even as I had pity on thee?"

34 And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him.

35 So likewise shall my Heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.
