The Fast of Daniel: Day 18

Darkness can be more than just the absence of physical light - it can be a soul-crushing weight of depression, isolation, and hopelessness. On Day 18 of our Daniel Fast journey, we explore Jesus' powerful declaration: "I am the light of the world. He who follows me shall not walk in darkness but have the light of life."
The Holy Spirit offers not just momentary comfort but transformative light that makes darkness "vanish away," filling our emptiness with unexplainable joy and purpose. If you're struggling to see hope in your situation, this message of spiritual illumination offers a path forward.
Take a moment today to breathe deeply and receive the light of God in your life. Please share this message with someone who might be silently battling darkness, and continue steadfastly in these final days of our fast. The distinction between light and darkness in your life begins with the presence of the Holy Spirit.

(00:02):
It's time for soul food. And then suddenly from the sky,
the sound of a strong wind filled the whole house, and they
were filled with the Holy Spirit.

(00:33):
Everything won't be moved. Everything's brought you
together when the wind starts toblow.
Fast of Daniel, 21 days pleasingthe Holy Spirit.

(00:59):
Jesus spoke to them again. Say I am the light of the world.
He who follows me shall not walkin darkness, but have the light
of life. Hi there, May the God of the

(01:27):
Bible bless your life. Good morning to you.
A pleasant morning. Good afternoon.
A wonderful afternoon. Good evening to you.
A blessed night for you when yougo to sleep.
Well, just as I said, I am the light.
Everybody in life needs this light.

(01:49):
Nobody likes to live in darkness.
Let me turn on this, I mean off this light here.
We have here the plasma. We have some lights.

(02:11):
But like whenever I go to prison, I go to the it's now
pretty dark. Whenever I go, let there be
lights. Please let there be lights.
Oh yes, and let that be used. Whenever I go to prison, I go to

(02:35):
Sag and whenever I go to Sag to pray, I go to the hall.
I never asked. I don't know why, but they are
not allowed to turn on the lights inside.
The officers or whoever is outside, they put on the light
always. I ask the inmates, my friends

(02:57):
over there, can I turn on the lights?
And when they give me permissionon the outside of the cell, the
segregation, I turn on the lights to pray, to speak to
them. Well, maybe when in prison right
now, you are the only light you have is the light of your
tablet. Everything is dark over there.

(03:21):
We are going to pray today for the light of God to shine upon
your life. I remember the Egyptians, they
were three days in darkness. It was so dark, so dark, they
could even touch darkness. For three days they could not
see each other walk. Like when you have the blindfold

(03:44):
upon your face, you don't see anything.
Well, they could not see. However, the people of God, yes
there is right lighters, they have the light in their house.
The Egyptians, darkness, the people of God, light.

(04:04):
When you receive the Holy Spirit, He is the light of God,
that when He shines His light, darkness disappears, vanishes
away. The Holy Spirit is light in the
darkness fast of Daniel 21 days,pleasing the Holy Spirit.

(04:39):
We are going to pray right now. Pray to the Holy Spirit.
Please close your eyes. My God and my Father together
right now in Jesus to everyone day and in this day, 18th we

(05:03):
pray, Father God, for your presence, your power, your
spirit to be upon this person that lives in darkness.
It is so dark, this person cannot walk.
This is the worst blind, somebody that can see but does

(05:28):
not see it, because darkness is all around.
This person is so depressed thatlives inside of the bedroom.
This person does not want to leave it to socialize.
This person sees psychologist, psychiatrist, counselors,

(05:49):
therapist. But yes, this person is so
broken inside. This person feels like this is
the end of my life. That's why they want to take
their lives. Oh Lord, not even a pet likes to

(06:09):
be alone. Not even a little pet.
They want the owner to be there to pet them.
Nobody wants to be alone and disposes alone in a dark cell,
alone this side of prison. This person is in prison, inside
of prison. Oh, I pray to you, my Father

(06:31):
God, that lives, transform lives.
Pour out your spirit right now. He has received the Spirit of
God. Receive the light of God upon
your life. Receive the presence of God.
I say to you, be baptized with the Holy Spirit.

Yes, that you cannot explain. Your soul is now filled.
You are no longer empty. The Lord shine his light upon
you. Receive the light of God.
