Understanding Fasting,

For us to be able to live life at the cutting edge of God’s intention for our lives as those called to advance the Kingdom of God, we have to maintain a life of divine proximity with God, not giving the enemy the advantage to deceive us or, of course, compromise God’s purpose for our lives. This is the time to renew our strength and to keep our focus on the journey ahead. “But those who hope in the LORD will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint” (Isaiah 40:31).
