No Fasting on YOM KIPPUR

The vast majority of Judaism and the Messianic Hebrew Roots movement fast from food on the holiest day of the year, Yom Kippur. However, at First Harvest Ministries we teach the complete opposite. We believe that Satan has ROBBED this glorious day of its SPIRITUAL INTENT !!!
