“The king was overjoyed and ordered that Daniel be lifted from the den. Not a scratch was found on him for he had trusted in his God.” Daniel 6:23 Yes the impossible can happen. Daniel did not have a mark on him and yet he spent the night with lions. He paid a visit to the home of the lions and did not become the main course. His trust in the Lord was well placed. Yesterday we looked at Darius. … Continue reading →
“When Darius got there he cried out in anguish, Daniel, servant of the living God whom you serve so faithfully, was your God able to save you from the lions? Daniel answered, long live the king. My God sent his angel to shut the lions’ mouths so that they would not hurt me, for I have been found innocent in his sight and I have not wronged you your majesty.” Daniel 6:20-22 Daniel lives! Can’t you just see the relief … Continue reading →
“Then the king returned to his palace and spent the night fasting. He refused his usual entertainment and couldn’t sleep at all that night. Very early the next morning the king got up and hurried out to the lion’s den. When he got there the king called out in anguish, Daniel, servant of the living God, was your God, whom you serve so faithfully, able to rescue you from the lions?” Daniel 6:18-20 Darius again is our focus. He knew … Continue reading →
“So at last the king gave orders for Daniel to be arrested and thrown into the den of lions. The king said to him, may your God, whom you serve so faithfully, rescue you.” Daniel 6:16 Daniel meets his fate as a result of breaking the king’s law. Even the king doesn’t like it, but the law must be kept even if your friend breaks it. So Daniel gets arrested and thrown into the den of lions. I guess that … Continue reading →
“Then they told the king, that man Daniel, one of the captives from Judah, is ignoring you and your law. He still prays to his God three times a day. Hearing this the king was deeply troubled and he tried to think of a way to save Daniel. He spent the rest of the day trying to think of a way to get Daniel out of this predicament.” Daniel 6:13-14 Step into the mind of this king. His officials tricked … Continue reading →
Central to the New World Order agenda to dominate the world is another contrived crisis using the Hegelian Dialectic to advance their goals… We are told we have a “environmental crisis” – justifying governments around the world to impose far reaching new regulations on society while globalist multinational energy companies are raking in record profits and buying up the world’s real estate. In 2020 they introduced us to Covid-19 along with their economy busting policies supporting their Agenda 21 / … Continue reading →
“But when Daniel learned that the law had been signed he went home and knelt down as usual in his upstairs room, with its windows open towards Jerusalem. He prayed three times a day, just as he had always done, giving thanks to his God. Then the officials went together to Daniel’s house and found him praying and asking for God’s help.” – Daniel 6:10-11 Daniel disobeyed the king’s law. He knew the penalty for doing this. Surely he could … Continue reading →
“So they concluded, our only chance for finding grounds for accusing Daniel will be in connection with the rules of his religion.” – Daniel 6:5 Let’s play dirty. These leaders remind me of politicians in our own day. Here we have a man doing a great job and they want to take him down. Since they cannot point out faults in his work they decide to play dirty and attack his belief system. Yes the devil fights dirty and so … Continue reading →
“Then the other administrators and high officers began searching for some fault in the way Daniel was handling government affairs, but they couldn’t find anything to criticize or condemn. He was faithful, always responsible and completely trustworthy.” Daniel 6:4 I remember back when I was in school. Writing came naturally for me, as it does now. My English teachers tended to like me a lot because I could write well. God gave me a gift and I enjoyed it even … Continue reading →
“Daniel soon proved himself more capable than all the other administrators and high officials. Because of Daniel’s great ability the king made plans to place him over the entire empire.” Daniel 6:3 I recall another verse that basically says your gift will make a way for you. God gifted Joseph, as you likely remember, and thus he rose from prisoner to top leader. We now see Daniel doing the same thing. God gifted Daniel and Daniel used his God given … Continue reading →
“The king also chose Daniel and two others as administrators to supervise the high officers and protect the king’s interest.” Daniel 6:2 I want to take a few days to look at this popular chapter in order to glean the truths within. Sometimes I believe we miss the hidden treasures in such a passage because all the emphasis goes to Daniel and the lion and not to how we got there. So now we begin. Daniel is chosen to be … Continue reading →
I share with you this morning Daniel’s prayer, a revelation of what his God can do and has done. “Praise the name of God forever and ever for he has all wisdom and power. He controls the course of world events. He removes kings and sets up other kings. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the scholars. He reveals deep and mysterious things and knows what is hidden in darkness though he is surrounded by light. I … Continue reading →
Do you find yourself living from paycheck to paycheck? Do you often feel overwhelmed, tired, and worn out? Are you in debt? Is there no enjoyment in what you do? If the answer to any four of these questions is a yes, then ask yourself a simple question. Why am I not living my dream? I find that most people go through life, just enduring it. They become numb to their problems. Things are just uncomfortable enough to complain, but … Continue reading →
“If any of you lacks wisdom let him ask of God, who gives to all men liberally and does not play favorites, and he will give it to you.” – James 1:5 “If any of you lacks wisdom?” We all lack wisdom at some point. Thinking about the choice of words here I think the words make a point I have rarely heard preached. Maybe you might want to rewrite it to say that when you lack wisdom, but by … Continue reading →
“So what’s wrong with being gay, anyway? It’s my sexual preference. What difference does it make? Didn’t God make us the way we are?” So many have struggled with homosexual desires that today there’s a growing confusion as to whether or not its wrong, and whether a person can really be free from it all. Where do we look for answers? There are a lot of “experts” who seem to come up with a new “answer” every day, but in … Continue reading →
