scripture: daniel 10:1-10:21

Is what we can see all that there is? As God’s people face opposition from human kingdoms, Daniel 10 lets us in on the secret that God’s people also face spiritual opposition, and it is overwhelming. But God hears, comforts and fights for His people.

Both Daniel and the Apostle John share a common experience - the unveiling of Jesus can be overwhelming to the human frame. Receiving the love of God requires a particular posture and many don't assume that posture until their human frame is overwhelmed. Daniel (and the rest of us) can experience God's love through His words, actions, and presence.

We are closing in on the end of our study in Daniel. Although there are three chapters left, they all connect around one grand and detailed vision that Daniel has. It is so precise in its historical accuracy that many believe it could not have been written by Daniel! The scope reaches into and even past our own time. For this study time we’ll look into chapter 10 and get the introduction to the vision. We get descriptive detail about the physical impact this event had on Daniel. His angelic experience might not climb the charts of the bestseller list if it was published today! Daniel is not the picture of people having strength and courage in the presence of angels. Daniel’s desire to understand was heard immediately and God responded immediately. But, for some reason Daniel sees no answer to this prayer for three weeks! Have you ever wondered why prayers don’t always receive an answer immediately? Have you ever felt like God was acting too slowly on your behalf? Have you been tempted to think that maybe He doesn’t care or didn’t listen? Hopefully Daniel 10 will change the way you think about prayer and what happens in the “heavenly realm” when you pray on earth. The reality may even surprise you!

God reveals Himself, ultimately through Christ, with grace, truth and power, so that we may be humbled, enlightened and strengthened.

013-Daniel 10:1-21 Book of Daniel Pastor Phil Ballmaier 6-28-17 Daniel was one of the Hebrew teenagers taken captive by the Babylonians and brought to Babylon in the first deportation which occurred in 606 BC. Daniel was deeply committed to his God, the God of Israel, and purposed that he would live for and honor God in Babylon even as he had done in Jerusalem. Because of Daniel’s faith and commitment to God, the LORD used him in incredible ways and he became a high ranking official in both the Babylonian and Medo-Persian empires. His life personifies the adage, “Blossom wherever God plants you.” Daniel was a man who purposed in his heart (1:8) that he would not defile himself with the pleasures of Babylon (the world) but would remain faithful to his God no matter what. The Book of Daniel is not only a book of history, it is also one of the most incredible books of prophecy in the Bible. As we read and study this book may we accept the challenge the Holy Spirit has placed in it for all of us who are the people of God—“Dare to be a Daniel!” For more information visit our website at: www.ccelkgrove.org We can be contacted at 1.847.895.3545

There is more to history than meets the eye.

Pastor Joe continues in Daniel.

A fascinating look into the spiritual dynamic of prayer.
