Page 93 - MY GREAT LOVE FOR JESUS LED ME TO TROUTH

God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin, and will you be angry
with all the congregation?'" (Numbers 16/20-22); "And Joshua fell on his face to
the earth and worshiped, and said to Him, 'What does my Lord say to His
servant?' Then the Commander of the Lord's army said to Joshua, 'Take your
sandal off your foot, for the place where you stand is holy.' And Joshua did
so." (Joshua 5/14-15)
Jesus himself fell prostrate: "He went a little farther and fell on His face." (Matthew
26/39) In Revelation 7/11, we read, "And fell on their faces before the throne and
worshiped God." We also read in Nehemiah 8/6, "And Ezra blessed the Lord, the
great God. Then all the people answered, 'Amen, Amen!' while lifting up their
hands. And they bowed their heads and worshiped the Lord with their faces to
the ground."

What religion is there, other than Islam, whose followers raise their hands in prayer, bow
and prostrate?
Fasting is also mentioned in the Bible. We read in 2 Samuel 1/12, "And they mourned
and wept and fasted until evening." According to Daniel 9/3, "Then I set my face
toward the Lord God to make request by prayer and supplications, with
fasting, sackcloth, and ashes." In Joel 2/12, we find, "Now, therefore," says the
Lord, "Turn to Me with all your heart, With fasting, with weeping, and with
mourning."

There are numerous other verses regarding this point including the following:
"…and fasted seven days." (1 Samuel 31/13)
"David therefore pleaded with God for the child, and David fasted and went in
and lay all night on the ground." (2 Samuel 12/16).
"As they ministered to the Lord and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, 'Now separate
to Me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.' Then,
having fasted and prayed, and laid hands on them, they sent them away." (Acts
13/2-3)
"However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting." (Matthew
17/21)
Regarding optional fasts in which Muslims frequently engage, we find the verse, "I fast
twice a week." (Luke 18/12).
