Many people have experienced \u2013 and continue to experience \u2013 spiritual growth, inner peace, renewal, and a deeper connection with God during this Fast of Daniel. Some may have already received the greatest gift of all \u2013 the Holy Spirit \u2013 while others may still be seeking Him, yet have found freedom from spiritual burdens, clarity of mind and a growing desire to live by faith.<\/p>\n
Now, here comes an important question: What will you do with what you have received?<\/p>\n
It\u2019s easy to keep these blessings to ourselves, quietly enjoying and appreciating the change within us. However, one of the clearest signs that God is at work in your life is the desire to help others experience the same blessings. As Matthew 10:8 states, \u201cFreely you have received, freely give.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Whether you have received the Holy Spirit or are still on the journey toward it, you probably<\/p>\n have already gained something valuable during this purpose \u2013 peace, strength, wisdom, spiritual understanding, or perhaps the awakening of a faith that was once dormant. These are all gifts worth sharing.<\/p>\n You don\u2019t need to be a pastor to evangelise. Sharing your faith doesn\u2019t require a microphone or standing at an altar. It can be as simple as sending a message of encouragement to a friend or family member who is going through a tough time, praying for someone, inviting them to a service or sharing what God has done in your life \u2013 both during these 21 days and before.<\/p>\n You might also consider joining our Battalion<\/strong>, which meets on Saturdays at 10am<\/strong> at your nearest Universal Church<\/a> \u2013 where we take to the streets to share a message of hope with those seeking a way out \u2013 or one of our Community Outreach Groups<\/a>, where we serve our local communities both physically and spiritually. This includes visiting the elderly, feeding the hungry, reaching out to those in prisons or hospitals, and sharing the good news of Salvation.<\/p>\n This is a powerful way to extend the transformation you\u2019ve received to others in need.<\/p>\n One of the main reasons God gives us His Spirit is so that we can bring light into this dark world. His Spirit is not meant to be kept hidden; it\u2019s given so we can shine His light and bring hope to others.<\/p>\n Even if you haven\u2019t yet received the Holy Spirit, you can still share the positive changes you\u2019ve experienced. Perhaps you feel lighter, more at peace, or have received answers to prayers you\u2019ve been waiting for. These experiences \u2013 no matter how small they may seem to you \u2013 are meaningful. When you share them, you open the door for someone else to be inspired and draw closer to God.<\/p>\n Remember: we are blessed to be a blessing.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Many people have experienced \u2013 and continue to experience \u2013 spiritual growth, inner peace, renewal, and a deeper connection with God during this Fast of Daniel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1925,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1924","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-daily-post"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uckg.org\/fastofdaniel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1924","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uckg.org\/fastofdaniel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uckg.org\/fastofdaniel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uckg.org\/fastofdaniel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uckg.org\/fastofdaniel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1924"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.uckg.org\/fastofdaniel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1924\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1926,"href":"https:\/\/www.uckg.org\/fastofdaniel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1924\/revisions\/1926"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uckg.org\/fastofdaniel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1925"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.uckg.org\/fastofdaniel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1924"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uckg.org\/fastofdaniel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1924"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.uckg.org\/fastofdaniel\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1924"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
