YES! And my opinion is God's opinion, Isaiah 58:6.
If you have nothing good to say you should keep silent. The nature and character of a child of God is set forth in the same book in Isaiah 1:18.
10) Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master (teacher) of Israel, and knowest not these things?
11) Verily, verily, I say unto thee, We speak that we do know and testify that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness.
12) If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe not, how shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things? John 3:10-12.
I don't understand why people deny Scripture when the verse is staring right there at their face!

No, and I don't have to as I understand perfectly well what Isaiah 58:6 stipulates, and you do not because you're putting yourself above God's word.

I've heard people use that verse before without even looking to see if there could be more to it. It's like a horse wearing blinkers so it can only see what's in front of it. There are other references to fasting. Even Jesus fasted. But if you are happy with your view then that's ok but I wonder why you should be interested in this thread.
That was one single person.
That was not an outpouring, but a teency drop.
You know what I mean by "outpouring"....
Incorrect.
Fasting VIA the Holy Ghost causes us to lose our self will and subject our will to God.
If it is not led of the Spirit though, it is just a diet or protest.
Why would anyone look for other meanings when God already declared the answer? Doesn't make sense, unless he/she knows more than God?
Exactly! Only one Gospel no looking to the right or to the left.
Chapter and verse, please
Interested not only on this thread but other threads as well to those who teach doctrines that are alien to the Bible.

Luke 4
And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,...
.....And in those days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered....
14 And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee...
Yes I do have a Bible but many folks read Scripture differently or what they have been taught, than what the verse is actually saying.
"But sanctify the Lord in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear":
I will NOT do your homework for you.

I'm not asking you to mate. I already did it. Read my blog if you want the scriptures. bet you won't though cos you know it all and have made up your mind and will not be moved. Bless you.
The ball is in your court. It is not a matter that I know it all rather, you are still drinking milk while I am eating meat (1 Corinthians 3:1-3}.

I'm sorry if you can't be bothered to read my study on fasting on my blog. If you did you will find that I have quoted many scriptures on fasting including your one from Isaiah as well as many more. But OK then if you can't be bothered to either study it for yourself or read my study leave the matter alone but don't blame me or anybody else. I don't know if you mean to or not Jun, but you come across as somewhat aggressive. Have a nice day with the LORD.
