1 Victory Missionary Baptist Church Dr. Robert E. Fowler Sr. SENIOR PASTOR WISDOM The Daniel Fast SPIRITUAL INSIGHT

2 Over the next 10 days, we will be corporately engaged In The Daniel Fast For Spiritual Insight and Wisdom No meat, No sweets, No strong drink (10 days) Fasting goes a long way in helping the believer keep his balance. Fasting should be Godordained and God-centered. Fasting promotes spiritual strength and helps us overcome barriers that might, over time, prevent us from living the victorious Christian life. Each of the ten days, excluding the Sunday, we will be in corporate prayer here at the church. Weekdays: 5:00 a.m. 6:00 a.m. Saturdays: 7:00 a.m. 8:30 a.m.

3 DAY 1 Today, we focus in on Personal Repentance. God wants to show us His forgiveness. Once you receive His forgiveness, recognize that it s our pattern for forgiving others also. Scripture: Matthew 4:17; Isaiah 53:6, 1 John 5:11-12 Lord, I truly repent of all my sins. I repent of the sins about which I know and the sins about which I don t know. Forgive me Lord of pride, rebellion, vanity, jealousy, judging, distrust, prejudice; all sins that I have committed that grieve your heart; greed, dishonesty and theft. Please forgive me for my refusal to forgive others. Please Lord, create in me a clean heart and renew a right spirit within me; a spirit that will worship you, glorify you and serve you for the rest of my life; in Jesus name. Amen! I have the assurance that I have been forgiven and accepted by God. DAY 2 Today, we pray for Godly Wisdom. May God grant us the serenity to accept the things we cannot change, the courage to change the things we can and the wisdom to know the difference. Scripture: Proverbs 2:2; James 1:5-8 Father, You said if anyone lacks wisdom, let him ask of You, who giveth to all men liberally. Therefore, I ask in faith, nothing wavering,

4 to be filled with the knowledge of Your will in all wisdom, and spiritual understanding concerning my life and my assignment. Today, I incline my ear unto wisdom and apply my heart to understanding so that I might receive that which has been freely given unto me. I receive godly wisdom and instruction, in Jesus name I pray. Amen! DAY 3 Today, we pray for Keen Discernment; that we are able to discern the evil from the good. It is so powerful and enlightening to be able to discern between what is good and what is evil. Scripture: Proverbs 3:1-6; 1 John 4:1; Hebrews 4:12 Father, I trust in You with all my heart and lean not on my own understanding; in all my ways I acknowledge You, so that You will make my path straight. Through Your precepts, I gain understanding; therefore I hate every false way. Your Word is a lamp on my feet, and a light to my path. I thank You for a discerning heart today; and I cling to the Word of God which is alive and active in my life, in Jesus name. Amen! DAY 4 Today, we pray for Divine Protection. We accept that these are the days of the divine. Scripture: 2 Peter 1:2-4; Psalm 91 Father, today in Jesus name, I accept that I am in the days of the divine. I confess your word over my life and all those connected to

5 me. I know that Your Word does not go out and return to You void, but it accomplishes what You say it will do. I give You thanks for moving quickly to perform Your Word and fulfill its promises. rejoice in the promises that Your Word holds for my protection and safety. I trust in You and if I shall face any problem today, I will run to you. You are my strong tower and shelter in a time of need. I speak peace, safety and success over all of my movements today in Jesus name. As a child of God, I stand confident that my planned moments will not be disrupted or confused. Thank You Father, that in every situation You are with me. Lord, I thank You for Your divine presence in my life, in Jesus name. Amen! I Today I accept that I am under divine protection and that no weapon formed against me shall be able to prosper! DAY 5 Today, we focus on Increased Sensitivity and Responsiveness to the Voice of God. There are many voices out there. Learning to distinguish God s voice is invaluable to the believer. Scripture: John 8:47; Matthew 7:24-29; Luke 11:28 Father God, I thank You for giving me the opportunity to have a relationship with You, Your Son and the Holy Spirit. I understand Lord, that the closer I get to You and the better I get to know You, the easier it would be for me to hear and know Your voice. So I pray Lord for the growth and enrichment of my personal relationship with You. I thank You for connecting me to my

6 Pastor and Spiritual Leader who is Your corporate voice in my life. I pray that You would keep me clear of all kinds of distractions so that I can keep my mind stayed on You. I thank You for sharper discernment and for the illumination and confirmation when it comes to hearing and knowing Your voice, as this year hearing and knowing Your voice is a critical component to my opportunity to cash in on my harvest. Please Lord, open my ears and make me hear in Jesus name. Amen! DAY 6 Today, we pray for the Willingness to be Open to the Instructions and the Directions that will come from God During the Year. If we want to get to the place of provision, we must pay attention to the instructions and directions. We ve got to know His voice. Scripture: Jeremiah 7:23; Psalm 32:8; 1 Kings 17:1-4, 8-9 Father God, I thank You for who You are in my life. In You I live, move and have my being. You and You alone are my source. Thank you Lord! Now Lord, I accept the man of God that You have connected me to as my corporate voice from You. I m standing in agreement with him that all year long, You will be sending me instructions and giving me directions designed to bring me into a new level of faith and usher me into a new level of victorious living and You will do it both through the written and spoken Word. Because You are a faithful and Loving God, I thank You in advance for every instruction and every bit of direction that will come my way this year and commit myself to hearing and obeying Your voice, in Jesus name. Amen!

7 DAY 7 Today, we focus in on the Removal of Hindrances that are blocking the full revelation of our true value. This will lead into God bringing us in touch with people who really matter. Scripture: Genesis 39:1-3; Judges 7:2-7 O God, Creator and Ruler of all mankind, I come to You today thanking you for loving me enough to remove things and people that are not good for me, out of my life. I submit to your Lordship. I want to thank You for making me in your likeness and creating me in Your image and putting inside of me everything that pertains to life and godliness. I receive Your word through the man of God that I am now in a season of my life when You will glorify me by removing all the hindrances that have been blocking up the full revelation of my true value and You have begun the process of bringing me in touch with people who really matter. Thank You Lord that our paths will cross and we will not miss one another this time. I give You praise, honour and glory for all that you are and all that You do for and in the lives of Your people; in Jesus name. Amen! DAY 8 Today, we give thanks for a Fresh Anointing (Fresh Oil) that has been released to the body. It s on my Bishop it s about to fall on me! Scripture: Luke 4:17-19, Psalm 92:10

8 O, Lord God I thank You for Your precious anointing that empowers us to accomplish whatever it is that You have assigned to our hands to do. I thank You Lord that this anointing also gives us the power to hurdle over all detractors and haters when it comes to the assignment You have given to us. I thank You Lord that Your anointing removes burdens and destroys yokes and yet Lord You have released a fresh anointing over the people in our ministry and elsewhere. I accept Lord that this fresh anointing is on my life so that I can have Power Influence and Timelessness for the carrying out of my assignment. You have given me PIT for the pitfalls on the journey. I accept Lord that I have also been anointed with fresh oil for the survival of any and every crisis that will come my way. Thank You Lord for this fresh outpouring of Your anointing upon my life. I face my future with confidence and I will walk in victory, in Jesus Mighty name and for the glory of God. Amen! DAY 9 Today, we focus in on God s People Being in Position for all that s Coming. I can feel something coming; I can t afford to miss it this time! Scripture: Joshua 1:9-11; Revelation 3:7-8; Galatians 6:7-9 Now Lord, I stand on the authority of Your Word and I am totally aware and convinced that before one of Your words shall fail, heaven and earth shall pass away first. I thank You Lord, for being a faithful God to Your people. All that we are, we owe to You. All that we have, we got from You. All that we ever hope to be, will be because of You. Now Eternal God, the Giver and Sustainer of life, I thank You with all my heart, for planning our future and making the necessary provisions for the same, long before we got here. Today I pray Lord that You would cause Your people to position themselves so that they will not miss what s coming to them. I thank You

I thank You Lord that the wounded, the faint-hearted and the wondering would be arrested in the Holy Ghost and come back into position. I pray Lord that You would do whatever You need to do with and to me to get me in position so I do not miss what s coming. I bind the forces of evil assigned to my life to cause me to miss this and I will be positioned to get what s coming. O Lord God, empower me, toughen me and grant me the know how to find my brother and my sister and help them get back into position so that they won t miss what s coming. I thank You in advance for this season where Your people are coming into position for instructions and directions for their harvest..in Jesus name. Amen! DAY 10 Today, we pray for Spiritual Stability. This is not the time for me to faint or grow weary; it s too close to due season. Scripture: 1 Peter 5:8; Luke 21:36; 1 Corinthians 15:58; Galatians 6:9 Eternal God our heavenly Father, I thank You for wisdom and spiritual insight. I thank You for a fresh anointing that has come to empower me for my assignment and all that You have placed into my hands. I thank You Lord for instruction and direction that will be coming to me all year long. What a wonder You are Lord. Now heavenly Father, as I pray for spiritual stability, I pray that Your people, like never before, will be careful, prayerful, watchful and immovable because in 2013, the adversary is coming like a roaring lion

10 seeking to destroy and devour. I pray Lord that our people will not grow weary in this season as due season is upon us. You have promised us Lord, through Your man servant, that this is the time You will make us do well. Keep us Lord committed to serving You and to being obedient to your voice. O lord, we stand on Your Word and I pray that in this season, we shall not be moved! I asked these things in Jesus name. Amen!

11 My NOW Confessions I choose to see myself as God sees me according to His Word. My life is hid with Christ in God. In Him I can do all things. I choose to trust God. His word is the final authority in my life. I base my entire life and future upon God and His Word. For a bright and progressive future, I will meditate on the Word of God day and night. I recognize that I am not just an ordinary person. I m a child of the Living God. I m an heir of God and a joint heir with Jesus. I m part of a chosen generation a royal priesthood a holy nation. I am accepted by God. If God is for me who can be against me? Greater is He that is within me than He that is within the world. Nothing can separate me from the love of Christ, nothing! I will submit to God; and when I resist the devil, he has to flee. No temptation will overcome me which is not common to man. God is faithful. He will not allow me to be tempted beyond my ability to overcome. Jesus always causes me to triumph. The word of God lives in me. I am more than a conqueror through Christ who loves me. I am an overcomer. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. I will not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. I am progressing daily. I am a success to the glory of God. As I adhere to the Word of God and be obedient to the commands of God, the blessings of God will come upon me and overtake me. The supernatural power of God flows through my life as the Holy Spirit teaches me all things I need to know and reminds me of everything that Jesus has ever said Today I walk by faith and not by sight.
