Daniel  11:36-12:13, 1 John 4, Psalms 123:1-4, Proverbs 29:2-4

What God said to me – Do you consistently live in such a way that there is no question you belong to me?  That doesn’t mean just being a “good” person and not succumbing to the evil practices of the world.  It means walking with me and talking about Me in your everyday life to the people I bring across your path.  It means living out what you say you believe so people don’t think of you as hypocritical.  It means being a witness to those same people and being an intercessor on their behalf.  It means studying My word and seeking My direction and obeying that direction.  It means abiding in Me so that when I come you will have confidence and not shrink away in shame.

Daniel 11:2-35, 1 John 3:7-21, Psalms 122:1-9, Proverbs 29:1

What God said to me – You live in the midst of a godless society, and it doesn’t take much for them to plunge further and further into depravity because that is their natural inclination.  As a result, those of you who are Mine appear to be more and more different from the rest of the world.  This difference will begin to draw criticism and derision until it grows into actual persecution.  You must walk closely with Me every day so I can strengthen you and prepare you to stand strong and persevere no matter what you face.  I will give you insight into what you should say and do so you can lead some to righteousness.  As people become increasingly afraid because of the world situation, you will find opportunities to share your faith.

Daniel 9:1-11:1, 1 John 2:18-3:6, Psalms 121:1-8, Proverbs 28:27-28

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.
