The Fast of Daniel: Day 9

June 30, 2025 • Bishop Bira Joshua • Season 13 • Episode 16

Reach out to us!

Discovering the profound comfort of the Holy Spirit stands at the heart of Day 9 in our Fast of Daniel journey. While many believers associate the Holy Spirit primarily with speaking in tongues or expressions of worship, today's message reveals a more intimate dimension of His presence in our lives.

The Fast of Daniel represents our 21-day commitment to pleasing the Holy Spirit, with each day bringing new insights into this divine relationship. As we continue this spiritual journey together, remember that when the wind of the Spirit begins to blow, everything changes—bringing together what was scattered and moving forward what was stagnant in our lives. Join us at your nearest Universal Church location to experience this transformative journey alongside believers worldwide.

Hi there. May the God of the Bible bless your life. Day number nine of our fast of Daniel. Some people think that the Holy Spirit is for a person just to speak in tongues, worship and praise the Lord. But the Holy Spirit is also a comforter. He's the one that comforts us. How many people when they lose a family member, they go days, weeks, months crying, mourning because of their losses. People when they have setbacks, like they lose a job, they lose a house. What happened to these people? What happened is that they go into desperation. Even suicidal thoughts come to them. But when you have the Holy Spirit, even though you feel it a family member passed away you feel it because it was your loved one, right? But the Holy Spirit, that is the comforter. He comforts you inside a tissue paper, family members or just a good speech at the funeral. No, these things do not comfort you. They are quick fix, temporary. But the Holy Spirit is the comforter.

Speaker 2: 2:40

The Holy Spirit is the comfort of God. Fast of Daniel, 21 days pleasing the Holy Spirit.

Speaker 3: 2:58

Here on Psalms 119,. The word says Psalms 119,. The word says this is my comfort in my affliction. The Holy Spirit is the comfort in your affliction, for your word has given me life. The word of God gives you life. The Holy Spirit comforts you. Yes, the spirit of God.

Speaker 3: 3:31

Maybe you are in prison and you lost a family member or many. I received letters from prison here on my tablet Recently. This person said I am the third oldest prisoner in Florida and since I'm here I lost many family members. How to cope with it? How to cope with bad news setbacks only when you have the Holy Spirit. He is the comforter. So to everyone this, some days we have only the message. Other days we have the prayer. But I advise you on your own to pray, to go on your knees and seek the Holy Spirit Early in the morning, in the middle of the night, not only in the church. And maybe you say I am in the hospital. Seek the Holy Spirit over there. I am in prison. Seek the Holy Spirit over there in prison. Yes, the Holy Spirit is available and if you seek Him, he is going to be upon you, inside of you and for sure, your life shall never be the same If you want to know more about the Holy Spirit.
