The Fast of Daniel: Day 11

Bishop Bira Joshua Season 13 Episode 18

Reach out to us!

The struggle to change is universal. We make promises to ourselves and others, seek help through rehabilitation programs, counseling sessions, and religious practices—yet often find ourselves caught in the same destructive patterns. Why do our most determined efforts frequently end in relapse and disappointment?

Experience the "life-changing fire" that purifies and empowers. Connect with us on the UBB app or Telegram for daily spiritual nourishment, and witness the divine transformation that human systems alone cannot provide. Your journey to becoming a truly different person begins with spiritual renewal.

Speaker 3:

Good morning, good afternoon to you, good evening, good morning, good afternoon to you, good evening. I don't know the time that you are watching me, but anytime now is a time for us to seek the Holy Spirit, and today we are going to seek the Lord. How many people have been to the rehabs because they want to change, like stop smoking, drinking drugs. They want to stop. They go to the rehab Six months, eight months, a program. After that they relapse, they go back to the substance.

Speaker 3:

Others were in prison for 10, 20, 30 years and they were fed up of the system and they said the day I stepped my foot on the outside I don't want to come inside anymore. But there they are, once again inside of prison, once again incarcerated, right right. Why? Because the system, the rehab centers, even churches, cannot change one's life. I will say that the world is full of backsliders, but I'm going to talk about it in our next messages.

Speaker 3:

But now I want you to understand when you receive the Holy Spirit, he changes you inside and outside, inside and outside. Let us read the scripture, what the Word of God says the Spirit of the Lord will come upon you and you will prophesy with them and be turned into another man. You will be turned into another man, another woman, another person, because he gives you a different mindset, he keeps you calm, he gives you self-control, he makes you to be another man. How many times you have changed? You even promise to yourself, to your mother, husband, wife, parents, children, I'm going to change. I'm not going to be the same person. But there you are in the same situation, having the same problems. The Holy Spirit is life-changing fire. Once you receive the Spirit of God, you receive fire within you. The Holy Spirit is the fire that changed us inside the Holy Spirit is life-changing fire.

Speaker 2:

Fast of Daniel 21 days pleasing the Holy Spirit.

Speaker 3:

Please close your eyes. Let us seek the Holy Spirit. My Lord, what psychologists, psychiatrists, counselors, pastors, churches, parents could not ever do for this person, your spirit can do, because your spirit is the life-changing fire. When the fire comes, it purifies. This person is fed up of himself, sick and tired of the same mistake. Dispenser, does not want to make the same mistakes ever again. But she's weak. He's weak before this problem and goes back to zero and does the same mistakes, to the point of the family say I don't believe in this person anymore. This person will never change and those who believe in him, the family says he will. She will disappoint you, says he will, she will disappoint you. Oh Father, god, in the name of Jesus Christ, your son, I pray to you right now and I ask you, my Father, strengthen this person, renew this person's life. Let this person be strengthened by you, my father. Pour out your presence, Pour out your spirit. And this man who used to be so violent, this person that is aggressive, violent, rude to others, this person will be gentle Because the Holy Spirit is a gentle spirit. So receive the Holy Spirit right now. Receive the presence of God inside of you. In the name of the Father, the Son, receive the Holy Spirit. Let there be light inside of you. Amen, praise God.

Speaker 3:

Now say to yourself I have changed. Say it once again I have changed. I am a new person. I am a different person. Keep repeating it. Even if people point to your mistakes, even if people tell you about your past, you tell Satan. My past was wiped away. Jesus has cleansed me. Satan, you have no more chance. You are done. You go to the lake of fire. But as for me, I have my lawyer. I have Jesus that defends me before my father. Always say I am a new person. The Holy Spirit has changed me.
