Day 1: How to Overcome Fear and Doubts?
According to Bishop Macedo, fear is part of the human nature and can affect anyone. However, no one needs to live dominated by this feeling. It is up to each person to resist and confront it through faith.
In this message, Bishop Macedo shares personal experiences and teaches, in a practical and Biblical way, how to confront negative thoughts, overcome insecurity, and remain firm in faith.
Watch the Full Message of Bishop Macedo:
Day 2: The Battle between doubt and certainty.
In the second message of the Fast of Daniel, Bishop Macedo emphasized that the greatest battle humanity faces takes place in the mind: the constant conflict between doubt and certainty. According to him, the outcome of this battle directly influences our decisions, attitudes, and the course of our lives.
When doubt prevails over faith, a person first loses the inner battle. As a result, frustration, insecurity, and defeat follow, eventually affecting every area of life. Doubt is one of the enemy's main weapons to weaken trust in God's promises.
Watch this video to learn how to win the battle between doubt and certainty.
Day 3: Learn how to overcome doubts
While we live in this world, we will encounter problems. We may find a solution to one problem today, but tomorrow another challenge may arise.
Faith is a powerful instrument that helps us overcome life's difficulties. Doubt, on the other hand, is our greatest enemy because it brings fear, anxiety, and worry.
In this message, you will learn how to overcome doubt and strengthen your faith so you can face the problems and challenges of everyday life with confidence.
Don't let doubt neutralize your faith. Watch until the end.
Day 4: How to free yourself from sin
A child is born innocent, but within that child is the nature of a sinner—the nature of rebellion and corruption. Because of this, we were separated from God's presence.
How then can we be redeemed and cleansed from our sins and corruption?
Through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
When people place their faith in the Lord Jesus—that is, when they hear, obey, and practice His Word—they begin to live by faith, which means living in obedience to God's Word. As a result, they are redeemed. They gain access once again to God's presence and become pure, holy, and worthy of all His blessings.
Just as your communion with God is restored, every area of your life can also be restored. When your inner life—your mind, your heart, your soul—is restored, everything on the outside will also begin to fall into place.
Day 5: For you who are in the desert
The desert is the greatest university in the world because it prepares us for life. It is there that we learn humility, patience, self-control, and respect—both for others and for the circumstances we go through.
The desert is the ideal place, the privileged place, for those whom God wants to use.
Are you living in a desert? Are you suffering, crying, wounded, thirsty, or hungry? God allows us to be led into the desert so that we may learn. There is a special lesson waiting for us there.
Do not skip this message. Listen until the end, and God will guide you through the desert you are going through right now.
Day 6: My experiences in the desert
You know, you are aware, you are a witness—my witness—of how we groaned for many years because of the injustices done to us, the slander, the lies, and the persecution we suffered. Everyone knows this, even to this day.
But that's alright. What I want to say is that this desert we have gone through—or these deserts we have faced for many years and continue to face today—are not for my harm. God does not allow His servants to be led into the desert without a purpose.
The fact is that the desert is not for our harm. Although we suffer there, although we feel the pain it brings upon us, the desert is not meant to destroy us; it is meant for our good.
Why?
Because the desert prepares the man of God and the woman of God. Those who belong to God are led into the desert so they can be prepared to be used even more greatly in the future.
Day 7: Faith is tested in the desert
It is true that God allows us to go through deserts. He allows us to face trials and struggles precisely to test our faith, to test our hearts.
Yes, God allows struggles, problems, and difficulties to come in order to test our faith. True faith has nothing to do with feelings—feeling this or feeling that.
Faith obeys the Word of God.
The issue is not whether you have faith—you do. The issue is whether you obey your faith, whether you follow where faith leads, whether you obey. Faith is obedience to the Word of God.
Day 8: The Word that sets you free
"The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, And His ears are open to their cry. The face of the Lord is against those who do evil, To cut off the remembrance of them from the earth." Psalm 34.15-16
What makes someone righteous before God is hearing and practicing His Word.
Likewise, what makes a person unrighteous before God is hearing His Word, knowing His Word, yet failing to put it into practice.
Such a person is in an even worse condition than the unbeliever who has never heard God's Word.
Therefore, my dear friend, who are you before God—righteous or unrighteous?
How do you fit into what Psalm 34:15–16 says?
Day 9: The power of a sincere cry to God
Whoever the afflicted person may be—no matter how sinful they are, no matter how undeserving they may feel—if they cry out to the Lord, He hears them and delivers them from all their troubles. And that, my dear friend, is what God is offering you today.
This Fast of Daniel is a golden opportunity for those who are desperate, distressed, weary, and burdened. It is for those who go from one sigh of anguish to another, perhaps even crying out in pain. But when there is a sincere cry out, the Most High God hears.
Listen to this message until the end, it is for you!
Day 10: The secret to having a new life
No one can receive a new life with God without giving up the old one.
No matter how much you pray, fast, read the Bible, or dedicate yourself to your church, if you do not abandon the sinful life you are living, what good are your prayers, your fasting, your church attendance, and everything else?
God is ready to intervene in your life and transform it. But He cannot do it by Himself alone.
Do not skip this video, because Bishop Macedo will tell you how to have a new life.
Day 11: Learn how to overcome sin
You who are listening to me right now and have been living in sin—you want to return to God's arms, don't you?
I hope this message will lead you to put an end to this situation, because although sin is deadly, poisonous, and destructive, it does not have dominion over us. Sin has no authority.
The moment a person decides that he or she don't want it anymore and leave the sinful life behind, sin immediately loses its hold.
Listen to this message of Bishop Macedo and be free from what is holding you down!
Day 12: It is the Holy Spirit Who convicts us
When the Holy Spirit convicts someone of sin, it is impossible for that person to remain hesitant or rebellious.
It is the Holy Spirit who leads us to Jesus, so that our Lord may wash us, purify us, save us, and make us worthy to enter the Holy of Holies, which is the presence of God.
That is why, it is so important to be sensitive to the voice of God. Because when God speaks, He leaves no room for doubt.
And when He speaks, He convicts. He convicts a person of their sin, of what is right, of what is just, and of what is unjust. Then that person must choose which path to follow.
Listen until the end.
Meditate together with Bishop Macedo and receive what you need today!
Day 13: The solution to the problem of the soul
The Holy Spirit is the solution to every problem you may have.
Because the Spirit of God changes your mind and changes your heart.
The Holy Spirit gives you the strength you need to overcome every problem and to heal from the traumas of the past.
The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God who works within us and forms a new character in us, enabling us to overcome every barrier, every difficulty, and everything that comes against us.
Yes! He is the solution to the biggest problem of a person which is in the soul. Listen until the end and receive refreshment for your soul.
Day 14: Receiving the Spirit of God
When a person receives the Spirit of God, they are transformed—truly and completely transformed.
The change begins within us. It affects both the mind and the heart—our reasoning and our emotions.
Listen until the end because the Holy Spirit will speak more!
Day 15: The power of trust
When we have faith in God, we exercise that faith at a specific moment. We take action at that moment. It's the moment of faith—the moment of “make or break” it’s "all or nothing”.
But those bold moments of faith don't happen every day or at every moment. There are days when, even though we have faith, we feel down and discouraged.
But trusting is something else.
Because after expressing that faith, the person must remain in it. Remaining in that same spirit of confidence, challenge, and spiritual boldness—that is not easy. That is difficult.
And that is where trust comes in.. Listen to this message of Bishop Macedo.
Day 16: Invest all your strength
Many have had faith in God, yet have not seen the benefits of that faith. They have not seen it put into practice or experienced the blessings that faith naturally brings.
What we need to understand that whatever a person does in this world, if they do not do it well, if they do not invest all their strength, if they do not put forth all their energy, it will not be done properly. Isn't that true?
The same with our faith..Bishop Macedo will teach us on how to invest all of our strength to see the supernatural.
Listen until the end!
Day 17: God wants to live in you
And that fullness of God can only come upon us when we give back, present, and offer the whole of ourselves.
The question is: Is it fair for God to give Himself to us 100%, while we give Him only 99%?
Listen to this message until the end, because Bishop Macedo will guide you on how to have the fullness of God in you.
Day 18: Don't expect things to be easy
To keep our faith alive and active, we need problems.
The Fast of Daniel brings people to an awareness of God's existence—that He is the Sovereign Lord of heaven and earth.
We could never truly become aware of this, nor experience this closeness between faith and God, if we were not living through problems. Isn't that true?
In this message, Bishop Macedo will help us take the best of our difficulties. Listen until the end!
