The Fast of Daniel: Day 15
This soul-stirring episode tackles a paradox many believers face: why does spiritual growth often attract more problems rather than fewer?
As we enter the final week of the Fast of Daniel, this message offers practical wisdom for maintaining spiritual equilibrium during times of opposition. Sometimes wisdom means pausing before responding, even delaying addressing a matter until you're firmly grounded in the Spirit. The Holy Spirit—described beautifully as "the voice of truth" in a world filled with deception—guides believers through these challenging moments.
The episode culminates in a powerful prayer inviting the Holy Spirit's presence, emphasizing that God's Spirit is available to everyone sincerely seeking, regardless of their past or present circumstances. From prison cells to hospital beds to solitary homes, the Holy Spirit brings divine companionship: "With your Spirit, you don't live alone." Join us in this final week of spiritual intensity as we seek deeper renewal and the transformative presence of the Holy Spirit.
It's time for Soul Food.
Speaker 2:And then suddenly, from the sky, the sound of a strong wind filled the whole house and they were filled with the Holy Spirit. When the wind starts to, blow, everything will be moved.
Speaker 3:Everything's brought together when the wind starts to blow. Fast of Daniel 21 days pleasing the Holy Spirit. Hello, dear friends, be blessed in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. When you praise the Holy Spirit, you are closer to God. I want you to pay attention, please.
Speaker 3:Some people don't understand. The more I seek God, the more problems I have, the more I do what is right. I pray, I fast, I'm reading my Bible, I'm minding my business, I am away from people, from dramas, but it seems like it's not worth, because more problems I have, more problems coming to me. I have been telling you it is not something bad. It's a good sign because you understand that you are annoying the devil and because of that he uses people against you, problems against you. The aim is to take you out of the spirit. Always think twice before you answer, before you act. Sometimes you have to keep the matter for the next day, deal with the problem only afterwards, so that you are not going to be out of the Spirit.
Speaker 3:The Holy Spirit is the voice of God within us and in this last week of the fast of Daniel you are going to do more week of the fast of Daniel, you are going to do more. Remember what you have done on the first week, second week, now, in this last week. You are going to do more, to go more to the church, to pray more, to read more the Bible. You are going to do all it takes to be revived, renewed and to receive the Holy Spirit. Let us go now into today's subject the Holy.
Speaker 2:Spirit is the voice of truth. Fast of Daniel, 21 days pleasing the Holy Spirit.
Speaker 3:When the helper comes, who I shall send to you. When the helper comes, the help is the Holy Spirit who I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father. He will testify of me. He will testify of me. Jesus was talking to his spirit. He said when the helper comes, he came already. Praise God, he came already and he testified inside of us that Jesus is the truth. You don't need to be convinced by a man, by a pastor, by anybody.
Speaker 3:The spirit of God, the Holy Spirit, is the voice of truth, is the voice of God inside of us. We are going to pray right now, to start this last week in prayers seeking the Holy Spirit. Oh, holy Spirit, my Father, you are the Spirit of truth. You are the Spirit of truth, life and truth. So right now we pray together, father God, for this person that wants to hear your voice. We live in this world of lies. Satan is the father of lies, he's professional, he's the father, the creator of lies. He told lies to the angels in heaven and because of satan they became demons, because they heard the voice of the devil, the voice of lies. But the spirit of God is the voice of truth. So I pray to you right now. Descend upon this person, no matter who this person is A bad guy, a bad woman, it doesn't matter, when they are sincere and seeking you. I have seen with my eyes People receiving the Holy Spirit in prison, in the hospital bed, even people alone inside of a house that is dispersed, that lives alone. But with your Spirit, you don't live alone. Oh, holy, holy Spirit, I ask you to fill this person. I ask you fill this person. I ask you enter this life a spirit of truth, a spirit of the Lord, and we pray for this.
Speaker 3:Last week, my Father, the last week of the fast, there are people joining the fast right now, others who broke the fast and will begin again. Lord, let this person receive your spirit. This sanctification, purification, is not in vain. Empty this life, my father. Bless this person in this Sunday, whether this person is watching me early in the morning or late evening. Let your spirit descend right now, the spirit of truth, and this person will testify of you. This person will become the witness.
Speaker 3:Oh, yes, lord, this person will be your witness. So bless their lives, strength each one of them In the name of the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit. You may lift your hands now. You yourself, talk to God. Oh Jesus, from heaven, you receive his peace. From heaven, you receive his presence that is inside of you and will be with you. Amen, praise God.
