Andrew Wommack’s daily TV program: Gospel Truth To subscribe to Andrew’s email newsletter: http://www.awmi.net/youtube-subscribe/ In the Book of Daniel, Israel is in captivity in Persia under King Darius. In Daniel 6:3 the Word of God says, "Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes, because an excellent spirit was in him and the King thought to set him over the whole realm." This excellent spirit in Daniel and his three friends is also known as faithfulness. Joseph was faithful and David was faithful. In this series we're going to look at faithfulness and it's characteristics. Faithfulness grants promotion from God. All of us would love to be promoted so let's learn what it means to have an excellent spirit... 0:08 Andrew continues teaching on An Excellent Spirit, which he started on Monday. This is the first time he has taught it on TV. 0:25 Your attitude determines your altitude! 0:33 Daniel 6:3 says that Daniel was promoted because he had an excellent spirit 0:43 In this context, "spirit" is talking about attitude, not spirit as in spirit, soul, and body. 1:00 Many people are praying for promotion, but they have a bad attitude. 2:15 When you have an excellent spirit, it causes you to prosper. 4:20 If you allow offense, bitterness, and a bad attitude to live on the inside of you, it limits what God can do in your life. 4:51 Andrew tells how in Daniel 1, the Chaldeans changed the names of Daniel and the three Hebrews in an effort to conform them to the culture, but they refused to conform and instead maintained their identity and retained an excellent spirit. 6:40 Their relationship with God was the foundation for them to have an excellent spirit. 7:00 Many people only judge themselves based on external appearances, skills, or abilities; but the key to having an excellent spirit is to know who you are in Christ. 8:05 Andrew relates how his own mediocrity in the natural realm caused him to rely more heavily on God instead of his own abilities. 9:51 John 14:12 changed the way Andrew viewed himself. This increased his faith to believe for more in his life. 10:51 2 Corinthians 5:17 is the basis for our identity in Christ and how we should see ourselves. 11:30 Philippians 4:13 is the way we view ourselves in Christ, causing us to believe for more. 12:47 If you are doing only what you can do in your own ability and your own power, you haven't found God's will for your life! God will call you to do something beyond your own natural abilities so you have to rely on Him to do it. 17:05 Andrew tells about the first time he saw Kathryn Kuhlman... 18:41 1 Corinthians 1:27-29; God got the glory! 19:58 If you want an excellent spirit, you need to find out who you are in Christ, what His will for your life is. 20:26 Romans 12:2 21:30 If you are shooting at nothing, you're going to hit it every time! 22:25 You need to have the vision of who you are and what God has called you to do, have an excellent spirit within you, knowing that you will see it come to pass, and don't settle for anything less! ====================== Andrew Wommack Ministries http://www.awmi.net/ https://www.facebook.com/AWMinistries https://twitter.com/andrewwommack https://instagram.com/andrewwommack/ https://www.pinterest.com/andrewwommack/ ===========================
