Isaiah 58:5

Is starvation and having an attitude such as "Looking at me I'm starving for the Lord to get close to him and this is pleasing to him is called a fast or is it spreading the gospel with others so that God can use his word to apply to someone's heart to save them as it is mention in Isaiah 58:6

Compare this with Luke 4:18
