Daniel 10-12

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 more and more afraid because of the world situation, you will find opportunities to share your faith.

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.
