Fast of Daniel, Day 19 – Seek Him with All Your Strength

Seeking

As we approach the end of the Fast of Daniel, many are filled with expectation – especially those who are seeking the baptism with the Holy Spirit. But perhaps, despite all your efforts, you haven’t yet received Him, and that can feel discouraging. If that’s where you are right now, don’t lose heart. This message is for you.

The Word of God promises: “And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.” (Jeremiah 29:13)

These are not just words; they are a direct and guaranteed promise. However, notice that there is a condition: “with all your heart.” In other words, receiving the Holy Spirit requires everything you’ve got – your full surrender, faith and persistence.

To seek with all your heart means to put all your strength, prioritising your relationship with God above everything else. It means removing not only distractions but also doubts, fears and excuses. It’s about approaching God not as someone trying to earn a reward, but as someone who truly recognises their deep need for Him.

Stay focused, not frustrated

It’s important not to compare your journey with anyone else’s. The Fast of Daniel is not a race or a competition. It is an opportunity for everyone to grow closer to our Creator. God sees your sincerity, repentance and thirst, so don’t let impatience, comparison, or feelings of unworthiness distract you.

Instead, use this final stretch of the Fast to intensify your communion with the Lord and find out what you still need to surrender to Him. Maybe what’s missing is something simple, like letting go of a feeling or behaviour.

If you already know what this is but have been postponing your surrender, remove that obstacle from your path. If you’re unsure, ask God to reveal it to you and be open to hearing His guidance.

Stay focused, and most importantly, believe. When you truly give your all – holding nothing back – He will honour your faith. After all, as stated above, it’s a promise!
