My INTJ side likes connections and understanding before doing something like "Fasting" (going without food and drink for a predetermined fixed time). Praying, not to much to understand here... Just talking to God. Fasting, how does going hungry do anything? Well, remember the old "fight and flight" response? When we are in "fight and flight" blood leaves our higher brain and internal organs to boost muscle performance. The "Rest and Heal" response prepares our body by giving us down time for food digestion and body healing. Now comes the third response, neither of the other two responses boost brain power. However, what if we didn't eat or drink and we where not in a race to stay alive? Well, then the brain would be the beneficiary of the full blood supply and the food in the blood stream bringing us to full mental alertness.
Remember the Secret and the power of prayer? Now add to that a fully focused mind with a dedicated blood supply.
Fasting and praying is truly the only way to exercise faith.

America
Did King James really know what he was doing when he had the Bible translated into English?
How many times have we heard "Knowledge is Power"?
How many years did man waste away in the dark ages? From the death of Jesus's Apostles to the seventeen hundreds man didn't achieve much. Man didn't start achieving again until King James put the word of God into the hands of the common people. Little did he know that it would transform them from subjects to sovereigns.
The puritans discovered by strength of will and much death that a nation of God can only be raised on the sod of Faith, Morality, Law, Education, and Liberty.
The Bible paved the way for the realization of "The Law of Nature and Nature's God" to become the foundation for The Constitution of the United States. America is born.
I can pretend to wax intelligent and educated even if so much of life is not well thought out and scripted much less based on revelation. After all, is not the educated man still just a man. Does he not trust the guesses and reason of those that lived before him. Where is reason really found? I find education not based in Faith meaningless. I find lifestyles not based in Morals self defeating. I find governments not subjected to Law weak and ripe for capture. I find youth devoid of parental guidance and Education lost and dying slow deaths. I see Liberty being crushed by evil. All that God gave us is based on the proper management of agency.
How many of us have Goals? Short term... long term? What happens when your short term goals don't support your long term goals? What really gets accomplished? Nothing! nothing really gets accomplished when there is no congruent path to an end. Dose government have an end or long term goal? Do the people? I think not. All the latest actions taken by our government clearly demonstrate shortsightedness and rebellion against God. The best example that government is lost is its interpretation of "General Welfare" strait from the Constitution of the United States. When government pays a man for being out of work does this encourage church service? Does this build a man's self-esteem? Is government micro managing men? Does it weaken a man's will? Does shame make strong soldiers? I understand "General Welfare" relates to the over all health of our nation. Things that strengthen the "General Welfare" are things like low State managed taxes, No Federal business regulation, No direct Federal taxation. No Federally owned businesses. No State owned businesses. No Unconstitutional Federal laws. A man who can do much for himself without Federal supervision or involvement makes a strong peg to rest the state or status of a nation upon. A feeble man will fold. So, what is better for the "General Welfare"? Anyone vote for a feeble invisible man? America is strengthened by real men with real work supporting their own families.
I heard a lecture not long ago that included the three tents of business operation. The Entrepreneurial or future tents, the managerial or past tents, and the technical or present tents compose these three business tents. I realize I appear lost at this point however, God made us man and woman. Each of us have gifts that the other doesn't physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually have. If the family is a business the man is the Entrepreneur. The woman is the Technician and both serve as Managers. This order that supports America is only the Christen Family.
Do you think that God has long term goals? Do you think that God gave these long term goals to the Puritans? Do you think that God gave us a base for the Constitution that was founded on His nature? Who are we to presume we could rewrite what God has already proven? America was a gift from God to all righteous men and women to aid in bringing to pass "the immortal and eternal life of man"
God gave us (his spiritual offspring) "America" to raise his children (our spiritual siblings) so that He could love us and teach us how to handle those gifts that He is still looking to give us.
