How do you react when someone says something offensive to you? If your manager at work provokes you, how do you respond? If a person threatens you, what do you do? Most would say something worst, go off on their manager and fight the person who threatened them. 

All of those are reactions of the flesh. And those who have the Spirit of God inside of them, do not react in flesh. They follow the Spirit, because the Spirit helps them. As the Lord Jesus promised;

And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— John 14:16

Who was the helper of the disciples? Jesus. They did not have the Holy Spirit yet. They depended on Jesus for everything. But when they were alone they did not have the courage or boldness that they possessed when He was with them. 

We see this clearly when they were in the boat and the storm arose. Quickly they begun to melt and fear because of the size of the waves. How come, when Jesus was in the boat with them? He was so close to them, but they didn’t have the presence of God INSIDE of them. 

The 21 Day Fast of Daniel is not to make you become more religious. It is to help you get closer to God. It’s to keep you in spirit. Because without the Holy Spirit, even though you are a church goer, you will not be able to stand before your problems. 

Problems come to everyone. Yet those who are baptized in the Holy Spirit deal with problems differently. They don’t give into the urges of the flesh and the temptations of the devil. 

This Sunday will be a special day. We’ve been telling you for nearly 21 days to do more to please God. Here is your chance to receive what He has for you.

Go to the nearest Universal Church to you, and participate in the service this Sunday to receive the Promise of God inside of you. He is ready not only to come near to you, but to enter inside of you and remain. 

May the God of the Bible bless you
