    About Fasting

    There is a popular chapter quoted for fasting which is Isaiah 58. But if you look closely, God actually defines the kind of fast he wants. The fasting God mentioned in that verse isn't the same as the abstinence from food fasting that Jesus and the Apostles talks about. The Isaiah fasting is...

Then the second definition as used in some scriptural context, talks about the influence of the Holy Spirit in the life of a believer. And when I refer to...

    How to Activate the Grace Within

    Grace in this context, talks about the spiritual blessings in the believer, deposited by God himself. Most of these blessings lack practical expression in believers' lives because of lack of engagement. Hence, the onus is on us to take practical scriptural steps to activate them.

But on a second thought, I just wanted to know how you harmonize the preceding verse to your interpretation of what James was saying having to do with faith in God's providence. Here is the preceding verse of that book of James: What doth...
