From these scriptures we can see that tithing has a high priority in the sight of the Lord in testing the faithfulness of his saints. The tithing of today is our doorway back to the greater law of consecration upon which Zion must be built. There are many ramifications to fasting. It is a general obligation imposed by revelation upon church members in good standing. It is itself a form of the true worship of God.
Temples are houses of fasting.
To be acceptable fasting must conform to the Lord's law and not be done for hypocritical reasons. It may seem strange to us that fixing food and fasting are mentioned together. As mentioned above, the Sabbath is to do the Lord's work and to prepare his kingdom. Therefore, we are fasting from our own ways. To the Lord, each Sabbath is a form of fasting in preparation for greater spiritual blessings by focusing on the Lord's ways.
