Well to be honest there has been an increase of paganism that has sneaked into the house of God,we have forsaken God and desiring to be like other "nations" around us,going back to be entangled in the bondage of sin again,seeking to be justified by the world rather than by God,seeking our own and imagining evil against one another,treating one another as the enemy when the only enemy we have is the devil who has turned the hearts of many cold,brother fights against brother/sister,marriages are broken asunder, etc.We've forgetting that we were called to be different,set apart by the blood of Jesus.God is calling us to repentance to rend our hearts and not our garments to fast the way he has called us to fast Isaiah 58 and not the way we want to fast...we fast wanting a financial breakthrough of which it is okay but when we see it not coming forth we begin to worry well Jesus said in the book of Matthew 6:25-34 that the pagan world runs after these things and our Heavenly Father knows we need them so why should we worry and seek the things that will be consumed by fire or blown away by strong wind or washed away.When we fast can we just fast because God has asked us to,to seek God and hunger for his salvation in our homes,community,country,nation,can we fast a fast of repentance begin from our own homes to church to work to school?so that God will relent from his wrath,for God to open up his heavens and show us mercy again.With that said read Jonah 3:8 But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth.Let everyone call urgently on God let them give up their evil ways and their violence.Vs 9 Who knows?God may yet relent and with compassion turn from his fierce anger so that we will not perish.it's time we get the house in order.For God's desire is not for anyone to perish but that we may all call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and be saved...1thessalonians 5:9For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ.Be blessed
