The Fast of Daniel: Day 18
Darkness can be more than just the absence of physical light - it can be a soul-crushing weight of depression, isolation, and hopelessness. On Day 18 of our Daniel Fast journey, we explore Jesus' powerful declaration: "I am the light of the world. He who follows me shall not walk in darkness but have the light of life."
The Holy Spirit offers not just momentary comfort but transformative light that makes darkness "vanish away," filling our emptiness with unexplainable joy and purpose. If you're struggling to see hope in your situation, this message of spiritual illumination offers a path forward.
Take a moment today to breathe deeply and receive the light of God in your life. Please share this message with someone who might be silently battling darkness, and continue steadfastly in these final days of our fast. The distinction between light and darkness in your life begins with the presence of the Holy Spirit.

Speaker 3:Whenever I go to prison, I go to seg and whenever I go to seg to pray, I go to the hall. I never asked, I don't know why, but they are not allowed to turn on the light inside the officers or whoever is outside. They put on the light inside the officers or whoever is outside. They put on the light Always. I ask the inmates, my friends over there, can I turn on the light? And when they give me permission, on the outside of the cell the segregation I turn on the light, to pray, to speak to them. Well, maybe you are in prison right now. The only light you have is the light of your tablet. Everything is dark over there. We are going to pray today for the light of God to shine upon your life.
Speaker 3:I remember the Egyptians. They were three days in darkness. It was so dark, so dark. They could even touch darkness for three days. They could not see each other, walk, like when you have the blindfold upon your face, you don't see anything. Well, they could not see. However, the people of god yes, the israelites they had light in their houses. The egyptians darkness. The people of god, light. When you receive the holy spirit, he is the light of god that when he shines his light, darkness disappears, vanishes away.
