The Fast of Daniel: Day 7

June 28, 2025 • Bishop Bira Joshua • Season 13 • Episode 14

Reach out to us!

Have you ever struggled to understand scripture or felt overwhelmed by life's decisions? Today's powerful message reveals how the Holy Spirit serves as our divine helper and ultimate teacher, bringing perfect guidance when we need it most.

During today's extended prayer time, we invite the Holy Spirit to guide our thoughts and decisions, to strengthen us like flames of fire that cannot be extinguished by life's trials. He not only teaches us but transforms our character from selfish to selfless, creating in us a desire to share these spiritual truths with others.

As we continue this 21-day Fast of Daniel journey, stay connected through these daily messages and open your heart to the Holy Spirit's guidance. Please share this message with someone who needs spiritual encouragement, and join us tomorrow for day eight as we discover more about pleasing the Holy Spirit in our daily lives.

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: 0:26

When the wind starts to blow, everything will be moved, everything's brought together when the wind starts to blow to blow Fast of Daniel, 21 days pleasing the Holy Spirit.

Speaker 3: 1:01

Hi there. May the God of the Bible, the Holy Spirit, bless you. I always say that when somebody is born, the first helper is the mother or the father. The first helper is like the parents, and then comes the other one, that is, the teacher that teaches you the last, the letters, the lessons that when you go to school. Then comes many other teachers in our lives, people that teach you how to write, how to read, how to drive your first job, and some people they have mentors in life as well Many teachers In the church. You have people that teach you the words, the prayer warriors. You have the pastors. You have the ushers, the assistants. We have helpers and helpers in life. Right, if you can still remember your first teacher or somebody that taught you how to drive, how to cook. Many teachers, well, but the Holy Spirit is the divine helper.

Speaker 2: 2:23

The Holy Spirit is your divine helper. Fast of Daniel 21 days pleasing the Holy Spirit.

Speaker 3: 2:56

The Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name. He will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you. Jesus was about to ascend to go to heaven and he was teaching always his disciples about the Holy Spirit. When John wrote this was when Jesus said I have been teaching you all things, many things, but the Holy Spirit, the teacher, he's going to teach you all things and remind you, bring it to your remembers, the things that I spoke to you. Jesus called his disciples to the mountain Olives and Jesus spoke to them about the Beatitudes. And you know we forget things, right, we forget many things. When you have the Spirit of God, you don't need to decorate the Bible. You don't need to decorate the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation, the whole Bible. No, the Holy Spirit reminds you what you need to remember. Maybe you read the Bible and you say I'll give up, I'm not going to read the Bible anymore because I don't understand. The spirit of God is a teacher and he teaches you not what you want, but what you need. When you read the Bible, many things you don't understand. By the way, do not keep reading. Lose the Bible, like the Bible is closed. You open the Bible there is one Bible verse here and you read and you don't understand, because just one always read the whole chapter or the verses before and after. That one will make sense for you. But going back to the subject, the Holy Spirit is the helper. Let us read the Bible verse once again. It says the helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the father will send in my name. He will teach you all not some, but all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you. Every day we have a message here, and today is our seventh day. I would like to seek the Holy Spirit right now, together with you. We are going to take a little bit longer today, but I invite you to please stop whatever you are doing. Let us pray to the Holy Spirit, o God of the Bible, god Almighty, in the name of Jesus, because you said the Father will send you the helper in my name. So, in the name of Jesus, right now, we take this moment, o Lord, to seek thy spirit. To seek thy spirit. We have been speaking about you, that you are the guide, that you are the fire inside of us. We have been teaching people here through this message, this platform, that you are the helper. So teach us all things. Guide my Lord, our thoughts. Guide my Lord, our thoughts, guide my Father, our minds, because we don't want to go astray to make the wrong decision.

Speaker 3: 6:57

I hear when people say the child has a learning problem, disability. But I have seen people in the church when they receive the Holy Spirit, they have never been to college, they are uneducated, just like Peter. But when they receive the Holy Spirit, the Holy Spirit is the teacher, he guides us all things. Please, oh, holy Spirit, guide us. Please, o Holy Spirit, teach us. Don't let us do our own, will take the matters in our own hands, but we pray that your Spirit, lord, may be with us. Lord, because you are the guide and to you we surrender our lives. So, my friends, I say receive the Holy Spirit right now. Receive you, become the flames of fire. If you can lift your hands now and seek the Holy Spirit, oh, my father, adversities will come, trials will come, but once your spirit comes upon this person, they are going to be these flames of fire, strong, strengthened by you. Teach us, my Lord, your ways and all things. So we pray in the name of the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit. Receive the breath of life, Receive light inside of you, breathe in and out. Praise God, hallelujah, amen. Tomorrow we are going to be back with our day number eight, the eighth day of this fast of Daniel.

Speaker 3: 9:32

The Holy Spirit also used us to save others. Save somebody, send this message to somebody, to a friend of yours, so that they can be blessed. The Holy Spirit, the spirit of he makes us to be selfless, not selfish. Share with somebody. Let somebody know about the Holy Spirit. The spirit of he make us to be selfless, not selfish. Share with somebody, let somebody know about the Holy Spirit and receive the Holy Spirit. May the God of the Bible bless you. I'll see you again tomorrow.
