The Chosen Fast

Have you ever fasted and seen nothing change?

You are not alone. In the days of Isaiah, sincere people fasted and then complained that God did not seem to notice. Their question still echoes in the hearts of believers today: Why have we fasted, and You have not seen?

God's answer changes everything. There is a fast a man chooses for himself, and there is the fast God has chosen. The Hebrew is bachar, the same word used when God chose Abraham and chose Israel. Out of all the ways a man might fast, God has selected one and set His heart upon it. They can look identical from the outside, yet only one of them moves heaven.

In The Chosen Fast, Pastor Adama Segbedji takes Isaiah 58:6 to 9 as a master key and turns it in every lock of Scripture. Going back again and again to the words as the Holy Spirit first breathed them in Hebrew and Greek, he opens doors that translation alone leaves closed. From the ashes of Nineveh to Esther before the king, from Daniel's opened heavens to the wilderness of the Lord Jesus, from Ezra's dangerous road to the upper room at Antioch, every fast in the Bible answers to this one passage, and every breakthrough hangs upon it.

You will discover:

The crucial difference between the fast that fails and the fast that prevails.

How the chosen fast loosens chains, lifts burdens, and shatters every yoke, releasing the crushed.

Why some answers are delayed even when your prayer is heard from the very first day.

The six promises God bound to His chosen fast: light that breaks forth like the morning, healing that springs forth speedily, righteousness going before you, the glory of the LORD as your rear guard, and a God who answers before you finish crying out, Here I am.

A clear, practical guide to fasting the fast God chose, including how to fast in secret, how to join fasting to mercy and the Word, and how to press through to breakthrough.

This is not a book about skipping meals. It is an invitation to fast the fast God Himself chose, and to watch every promise He bound to it break forth in your life like the morning.

Turn the key. Choose the fast He chose.
