The Fast of Daniel: Day 4

June 25, 2025 • Bishop Bira Joshua • Season 13 • Episode 9

Reach out to us!

Have you ever felt the frustration of praying without receiving an answer? That sense of spiritual silence can be profoundly disheartening. Today's message confronts this universal struggle with a powerful truth: the Holy Spirit Himself is the answer we've been seeking all along.

This fourth day of our Fast of Daniel invites you into deeper communion with the Holy Spirit—not just for speaking in tongues, but for His life-giving presence that brings certainty when doctors say "impossible" and peace when circumstances scream "chaos." And here's the beautiful part: even if you're discovering this spiritual journey, you can join today. Find a quiet corner after listening, open your heart, and simply say, "Holy Spirit, you are my answer. I need you dwelling inside of me." Your spiritual transformation awaits.

It's time for Soul Food.

And then suddenly, from the sky, the sound of a strong wind filled the whole house and they were filled with the Holy Spirit.

Speaker 3: 0:27

When the wind starts to blow, everything will be moved. Everything's brought together when the wind starts to blow.

Speaker 1: 0:57

Fast of Daniel, 21 days pleasing the Holy Spirit.

Speaker 3: 1:05

Hi there, may the Lord Jesus bless your life Once again together in our day number four knowing and learning about the Holy Spirit. Have you ever had this impression that you pray, you pray and you do not receive the answer? Pray and you do not receive the answer. You pray and you pray. It seems like the heaven is blocked for you, that God does not hear you. Once you receive the Holy Spirit, once he dwells inside of you, you don't need to see to hear, to believe.

Speaker 3: 1:42

Do you remember Thomas the disciple? For three years, six months or so, jesus was talking about his resurrection, his crucifixion and also the baptism of the Holy Spirit. However, when Jesus came back, because Thomas did not have the Holy Spirit, he had doubt, he did not believe. Once the Holy Spirit dwells inside of you, he is the answer, even before you see the paper, the result. Like somebody goes to see a doctor. I don't doubt the doctors, the physicians, but they go by the books, their knowledge, their studies, right, and they say what they see on the tests, the exams. So is the physicians, the lawyers, the human being in general. However, when you have the Spirit of God, even when they say no, you hear. Yes, even when they say it is horrible, you hear it is beautiful, right, because you have the Spirit of God inside of you. The Holy Spirit is the answer.

Speaker 2: 3:02

The Holy Spirit is the answer. Within Fast of Daniel, 21 days pleasing the Holy Spirit.

Speaker 3: 3:23

So the Holy Spirit is the answer inside of you. That's what the Bible says. If the Spirit of Him, capital L, is always the Holy Spirit, if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, if he dwells in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his spirit who dwells in you.

Speaker 1: 4:02

Who dwells in you?

Speaker 3: 4:07

The Holy Spirit is not just for you to speak in tongues. The Holy Spirit is not just for you to say beautiful words, but the Holy Spirit is the answer to your prayers. He keeps you calm, he guides your thoughts. The Holy Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead. He raises you as well.

Speaker 3: 4:32

There was this man. He had a disease, critical disease, incurable disease. It was horrible. Then they did these hormones tests to see the level of his happiness. His happiness, his levels were very high. And the doctor said my friend, do you know that you have this disease? And he said to the doctor yes, my flesh, my body is sick, but my spirit is not. So that's why we are saying the Holy Spirit is the answer. He answers you. Tomorrow we are going to be back with our fifth day, fifth day of this fast of Daniel. Tell a friend of yours to join the fast. It's a spiritual fast. Even though we are already on the fast, anybody can start, even today, 21 days, to seek the holy spirit. Listen to the message. Now that I am finished, you can go to one corner, you yourself, and pray to the Holy Spirit and ask him. Holy Spirit, you are my answer. I need you dwelling inside of me. God bless you. I'll see you again tomorrow.

Speaker 2: 6:10

During these 21 days, let us stay connected to the Holy Spirit. These messages will guide you to please Him. Throughout the fast of Daniel, keep your heart open. Your next message and prayer is coming up.

Speaker 1: 6:27
