The Fast of Daniel ended on Sunday… for now. I say for now, because from time to time the Holy Spirit always inspires us to do a Fast of Daniel, so it will surely be back. For some it was unforgettable because they were baptized in the Holy Spirit during this fast. But for others, perhaps you are feeling disappointed. Disappointed because you did not receive the Holy Spirit as you had hoped.

I want to tell you, do not be disappointed and do not feel let down. God wants to give you His Spirit more than you want to receive Him. So why did I not receive Him, you might ask? Maybe their was a doubt inside of you… maybe you struggled with feelings of not deserving Him… maybe you did not understand that you had to seek Him without interruption, and ended up praying for many other things… maybe you wanted to, but did not totally surrender…

There could be many reasons why you did not receive the Holy Spirit yet, but I do not want you to focus on that. What you need to do now is keep seeking Him. Surrender your life 100% to Him and let Him know that you thirst for Him more than anything.

But do not give up! For the next 5 Wednesdays, we will be doing special prayers to seek the Holy Spirit every week for you that did not receive Him yet. He will come. Just keep seeking Him with all your heart.

“For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is loyal to Him.”
2 Chronicles 16:9

To be loyal is to keep seeking Him. Today, Wednesday we will participate in the Lord’s Supper and seek the Holy Spirit in every Universal Church.

May the God of the Bible Bless You
