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... 0:15 Andrew has been sharing about having an excellent spirit. He shares it's talking about having an excellent attitude, a superior attitude, an attitude above the average. To have and maintain this excellent attitude you first have to know who you are, you have to know your true identity in Christ Jesus. 0:46 Daniel and his free friends are a great example. The were never moved from standing in their integrity for God even though they were taken into captivity. We have challenges in life. 5:00 Unfortunately only 10% of Pastors surveyed teach what the Word of God teaches regarding moral and social issues. 80% who knew what God has to say about these issues admitted they did not teach it to their congregation because it was not popular... 5:20 We need to get to the place where we just say what is true from the Word. We need to say it in love, but we need to say it. 7:20 Throughout Andrew's years in Ministry he has seen the blind see and the lame walk. Andrew himself has walked in supernatural health for over 40 years and it's available to all of us. It doesn't mean the attacks don't come; he has over come cancers and sicknesses but he has overcome them. We believe it is God's will for all people to be healed every single time. 7:57 Andrew claims for his life from the word of God as we all should the truth of Deuteronomy 34:7 - ...Moses was an hundred and twenty years old...his eye was not dim, not his natural force abated." 09:25 It is God's will to heal us every single time and even if we don't see it every time - it's not God. The Word of God says that now we see through a glass darkly, we don't understand all the ins and outs but we don't let circumstances dictate our theology. God says in Romans 3:4 - ...let God be true, but every man a liar... 14:00 Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego had such an excellent spirit that they we're going to do what was right regardless of the consequences. They still went through the fire but God saw them to the other side. In fact Jesus showed up to stand with them. 17:30 Do you want to walk on the water? You need to get out of the boat. 17:40 The Word tells us to keep our eyes on Jesus who is the author and finisher of our faith. There are a lot of us that want the same godly results - but we compromise. We have to be willing to do what it takes and have an excellent spirit to stand on God's word. 20:43 Sometimes the way to promotion is through the fiery furnace but never back down from God's word, never compromise your relationship with God. In the end, you win...if you faint not. ========================================­==== 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/ ========================================­==============
