Daniel 7-9

What God said to me – I have laid out My plan and it is firm – from the beginning to the end, I will carry it out.  So if My plan is set, what is your part?  Your part, like Daniel, is to pray.  Pray for repentance.  Pray for people to turn to Me.  Walk with Me in holiness in an unholy world.  Watch for opportunities to share the truth about Me.  People are restless and uncertain in these difficult, chaotic times so some are open to hear.  Use this to share about the peace they can have in Me.  Use this to share about My love.  Use this to share about the coming judgment.  Time is growing short.  Use every opportunity.  Your faith and steadfastness and peace in the midst of uncertain times will draw people so be diligent and faithful to share.

Daniel 4-6

What God said to me – What is your reputation in the world?  Are you known as someone who loves Me and lives for Me?  Can it be said of you, like Daniel – we will not find any ground of accusation against Daniel unless we find it against him with regard to his God?  So often those who claim to be Mine are so entrenched in the world and their behavior is so like the world that there is no visible difference.  When you live like this you profane My name in the world and you negate any influence you might have had for Me.  I have called my children to come out from the world and to live differently from them.  Your reputation should be that you are faithful and diligent in all you do so there is no ground for accusation.  You must live in such a way that you are the salt and light I intended for you to be.

Daniel 1-3

What God said to me – Can you say with Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego that My God is able to deliver but even if He does not, we will not compromise with the world?  That is the type of faith that trusts Me no matter what.  That is the type of faith that understands that My sovereign plan is best.  In this world you will have trials and tribulations and maybe even persecutions.  Everything I bring into your life has a purpose.  “I AM” constantly working in you to grow your faith and strengthen your resolve to serve Me no matter what happens in your life.  I want to bring you to the place where you, like them can accept My will no matter the outcome and trust that My plan for you is the very best thing for you.  This is how you glorify Me.  This is when you’ll hear Me say “well done My good and faithful servant.”
