The Righteousness of God
You are not of this world, you are in this world. You are a member of God’s family. You are highly favored. You are the apple of His eye. You have the power of God living inside of you – not because of anything you have done or not done, but because of Jesus Christ. Your faith and your choice to be a person of faith, separates you from the world. You have rights. You have privileges. You have benefits as an heir – an heir with Jesus Christ. You may not feel that way now. And if not your Father is calling you to step up and fully embrace who you are because of God’s gift to the world through the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus.
Your Journey in Faith is specially designed to help you develop your faith as you experience your sacred time of extended prayer and fasting. Take this opportunity to learn more about yourself and the changes you can make in your life of faith.

God is the same is the same yesterday, today and forever. if he did it before he can do it again. God did it for Abraham and is willing to do it for us today. I am reminded here of the direct connection with God. He has crowned us with righteousness. God has given us the same power that Jesus had. All we have to do is build our faith and stand strong like the tree that is planted by the rivers of water. It doesn’t move and its leaves do not wither. Powerful stuff. Thank you for sharing Susan
I am reminded once again that I am a child of God and that if I believe in Jesus Christ, then I am of Abraham’s seed, therefore I am a heir of the Kingdom. That whatever I ask in His name, believing that it is indeed given to me, then His will will be done.
Hello everyone this is my very first time doing the Daniel Fast and I am so excited. I feel the Lord working in me in just this short period of time. I am excited to see what God has in store for the rest of the fast. Doing the fast is not easy by along shot but it is by far the best thing that I have ever been apart of. I feel the peace of the Lord over my families life. I am putting everything before the Lord in prayer and I mean everything and it feels great. I am at peace with doing this fast.
Thank you Jesus!!!
Hello Since I started my fast a day later Im on my 4th day today
Im in a place where my eyes & ears are being opened This faith that I have keeps growing & feels stronger I truly need the Holy Spirit to lead me & that I will be sensitive to Him
Thank you
I am fasting to strengthen my faith and to sharpen my senses to enable God to reach me more deeply and to reach my boys. Not sure if that is an objective of fasting or not but that’s what I am doing it for. I do believe that all things are possible with God. Of course what more evidence is there than with Abraham and Sarah. I have challenging family relations in my home and as I am walking with Jesus and God is the head of my household I want him to pour his love into my sons lives.
Yes, this is a good purpose for your fast. God has called you to stand in the gap.
Be blessed.
I am so grateful for your encouragement and support Susan !!…I am so grateful for our Fathers love for us and how He longs for us to walk in greater faith !!…that’s what I am sensing so strong on this fast ..I truly believe that as we renew our minds and grow in our faith God is going to do great and mighty things for us …God bless you and your team !!
Susan, thank you for that word reminding me that I am the righteousness of God in Jesus Christ. So many times I have felt that I could not approach God because of the feeling of unworthiness. This has been very helpful to me.
Get that truth deeply rooted in your heart. The enemy will try to convince you otherwise. But always go back to the truth in God’s Word to you.
Be blessed.
Hi Susan its a long time I have been drawn to the Daniel Fast. I have done it for a week many times,but this time around I have decide to go it through.I need to be drawn close to God doing more reading and understanding his word.I know the more time I give to him he will direct my path. I had problems at first getting into your devotions but that has been resolved.Thanks for the lessons and may God bless you in your Ministry and for all your encouragement on this journey.
Thanks Susan for your teaching, am blessed to be part of the programme. It enriched my understanding of faith and my journey in Lord. God bless you. Janet
I have done the Daniel fast twice. Once by myself and the second time with my church. I really focus on the food, at the time I was trying to lose so weight. This Journey in Faith is awesome. I want to grow in my walk with Christ, this is an awesome format to do that! The videos and work sheets helps me to look deeper into my relationship with Christ. Thank you Susan!
Every morning I’m excited and looking forward for God grace. First time doing the Daniel Fast and I enjoy reading & listening God is really talking to me through out this Daily Devotional. Thank you so much for allowing God to be an instrument to millions of people.
Thanks for sharing these amazing truths’ Susan.
God bless you hun.
Hi Susan, thank you for the assurance that we are indeed the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. I must admit though that sometimes I feel so ashamed to come before the Lord. I feel as if I don’t measure up to what He expects of me, so i’m always repenting and declaring my unworthiness to Him. You however have put a different spin on today’s topic. I’ll have to now ask the Lord to teach me to accept my position in Him.
My other challenge is that while doing this Daniel fast i’m working also. I work in an Insurance industry specifically with sales advisors, and there’s this constant flow of persons I have to assist. How can I manage my day so that I still get to spend quality time in prayer and in the Word?
Brenda, finding time is challenging for so many folks these days. We all have such busy lives.
I encourage you to start the day with the Lord when you are fresh and able to focus on Him. I know that may seem like “Oh, one more thing to add to my already busy life.” But He will reward you. He will help you and remember, you walk in His favor and grace when you walk in the Spirit. Even if 15 minutes, then 20, then 30. Whatever you can do and trust that He will minister to you and help you.
I hope this helps.
Thanks, I do start the day with the Lord. Be blessed.
Hi Susan, I’m excited to read and listen to your lessons each day, because it is preparing me, my church fasting begins on the 8th of February and I’m preparing myself with your lessons,each time I start i never completed it because of feeling sick so I’m taking this opportunity to prepare myself fully so I can complete it, so I thank you for the lessons I enjoy reading enjoy listening and it’s been like food to my life thank you
Hi Susan, thank you so much for the daily messages and the worksheets to work on. It is amazing what God has done for us, and how much more He is doing for us. Getting to know God better by being in prayer and listening to His Word, seeking God, being in His presence to know His power and glory in our lives is awesome. I need more of God , I seek more of God, I want to hear His voice, I long for God more in my life. Today, I felt a bit weary and feltva bit weak, but turned my heart to God and said Lord help me, I am fasting and will pull through the day.
I was in a situation this weekend and I didn’t know how I was going to get out of it. As I sat there in my situation and I began this Fast Sunday. I prayed, fasted, and shared His word with a few other women that was in my presence things started to change. I was released on an OR and it was God doing a miraculous thing on my behalf because of my faith. Thank you for allowing me to partake on this journey for a change in my life and my family.
Praise God! He will come to our rescue when we walk in the Spirit and put our trust in Him.
Be blessed
Blessing Susan and all who are on this 21 day fast. I want to express my sincere gratitude to you Susan for all the work you have put into this program with the daily devotional lessons just to help people like myself have a guide. I am a bit late, finally got to listen to all the lessons today and they were just amazing, I believe this will make such a difference in my life. I pray that God continue to bless you to continue your work in helping others. God bless
Thank you, Marlene. We serve an amazing God! Glad to call Him the CEO of my work!
Be blessed
Dear Susan, yes, I agree with you, God is the CEO of your work hence the great work you present to us in your devotional lessons. May God’s blessings rest richly upon you and take you to higher places. With a heart of gratitude I say thank you for your offering to us. You have planted your good seeds worldwide. I live in the Mediterranean island of Cyprus and am so happy to be able to join my brothers and sisters worldwide in fasting and praying. God bless you abundantly.
God is carrying me through this fast, I am always joyfully looking forward to the next video and worksheet! These revelations are truly amazing. To think that the Creator of the universe can call me his righteousness!! I am truly humbled and have no words to express my gratitude to our Father. May his name be praised from eternity to eternity. Amen
Susan,
Thank you for the constant reminder of who we are in Christ. It is a truth of God that many of us, such as myself need to hear, to be affirmed. For so long the enemy of our souls has taken advantage of filling our minds with lies and even as children of God, I know I bought into the lies of unworthiness. But praise God my value is not measured by me but by the son of God in me, our Lord Jesus Christ. To GOD be ALL the GLORY.
Amen, I know exactly what you are saying Ann Marie, just remember that we can do alll things through Jesus Christ. Philippians 4:13 Our Father is so awesome and it’s a blessing that he sent His only Son to be crucified so our sins will be forgiven. God Bless You on This Journey of Fasting.
I like to share my story with you. I did my first Daniel fast in 2015, looking back I were more focused on food, but still God blessed me. Last year I missed out. I started thinking about trying the Daniel Fast again in 2017, but was not sure how and thank God, He show me to your site Susan. My aim was to fast for a financial breakthrough so that I could visit my son and grandchildren in South Dakota, living in South Africa it is quite expensive to visit. My son is now for 7 years in the National Guard and I haven’t seen him in 4 years and my grandchildren for 5 1/2 years, that was my main objective, but while I was asking God to show me what He really want me to Fast about He show me Gen 1:3 “Let there be light” Then it came into my Spirit, that I must be the light so that God can shine through me so that people can see Him through me, but what about money to visit my son, but God show me Matthew 6:33 and I knew immediately that if I first seek God and His Kingdom, He will supply me with what I need. God bless you Susan and your team and thank you that I could come on this journey with you and thousands of others.
Ps: Sorry English is not my home language.
Dearest Lydia,
Thank you for sharing your story. God is so good and I praise Him for the revelation He is giving you. He’s calling you to a deeper place with Him, and you are answering the call. That’s where we find the peace, in that deep place with Him.
Be blessed. And I know for sure He will answer your prayer to visit your son and his family in South Dakota.
So grateful to join in with others who heard the spirit of God calling. This year I was excited when fresh revelations came the week before the Fast began!! The anticipation of getting closer to Him trumped everything else and opened me up to hear his voice. Not just with things os the world but my own banter about what I, I, and Me want God to do this year. I’ve heard the only people who know your sacrifice is you, God and the devil. Sometimes I talk too much. To my brothers and sisters my prayer for you this morning is Romans 8:31-39. Be blessed and listen for His voice. He is talking today!
I am so grateful for these studies each morning. I look forward to them. Thank You Susan. I was particularly struck by the sense/knowledge and the revelation knowledge. I have been stuck in the sense/knowledge all these years and wondering why I didn’t feel like my faith was “real”. I have not been sure or assured or know that I know.. there has been a disconnect between my heart and my head. But slowly,surely, I am leaving my Martha-ism behind. The only thing I know is that God told me to start at the beginning with this fast… to start with Genesis and how it all began. He also showed me how from the first in the garden of Eden we are tricked by how good things that are bad for you look! I know I would have been Eve saying Wow! I really want to know more. And that was her downfall and it has been mine. So God is speaking to me..I am looking forward to going deeper in the following 17 days. God has gotten me this far and I can’t wait to hear more from Him and less from me and to experience a more intimate relationship with Him -how I so yearn for this!
I feel blessed already, Amen!!
