​GUARD YOU HEART…PICK UP YOUR WEAPONS AND FIGHT!

PROVERBS 4:23

KEEP THY HEART WITH ALL DILIGENCE; FOR OUT OF IT ARE THE ISSUES OF LIFE.

AS WE STAND AND CONTEND FOR THE FAITH OF THE LIVING GOD WE MUST GUARD OUR HEARTS. IT IS EASY TO GET CAUGHT UO IN THE CARES OF THIS LIFE AS THE WORD OF GOD SAYS FROM THE HEART FLOW THE ISSUES OF LIFE. WHAT ARE SOME OF THE ISSUES THAT YOU HOLD DEAR TO YOUR HEART? FOR MANY OF US IT IS OUR RELATIONSHIPS WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS. THE ENEMY DESIRES TO SIFT US LIKE WHEAT AND COMPLETELY ANNIHILATE THE SAINTS OF THE MOST HIGH. HE COMES WITH SEDUCING SPIRITS AND DCOTRINES OF DEVILS TO GET US TO TURN OUR HEARTS AWAY FROM THE LORD WHO IS OUR SAVIOR AND REFUGE. HE REMINDS US TO PUT ON THE WHOLE ARMOR THAT WE MAY BE ABLE TO WITHSTAND THE WHILES OF THE ENEMY AND HAVING DONE ALL TO STAND,WE STAND AND SEE THE SALVATION OF THE LORD. IF THE LORD SAYS THAT THE ADVERSARY IS COMING WITH FIREY DARTS TO STEAL, KILL, AND DESTROY AND THAT HE WON’T ENTER THROUGH THE FRONT OR THE SIDE DOOR THEN WHAT WILL HE ATTEMPT TO DO? HE WILL ATTEMPT TO GET TO US THROUGH THE ONES WE LOVE! WE MUST GUARD OUR HEART. THERE IS NO TEMPTATION EXCEPT THAT WHICH IS COMMON TO MAN. HE WILL USE WHOMEVER HE CAN TO CREATE DISCORD AND ATTEMPT TO HAVE YOU WALK AWAY FROM THE GOD YOU LOVE AND THOSE THE LORD HAS PLACED IN YOUR LIFE THAT ARE THE PILLARS WHO ARE THERE TO GUIDE YOU AND HELP YOU GET TO YOUR EXPECTED END IN CHRIST JESUS. THE ENEMY WILL TARGET RELATIONSHIPS BECAUSE WHERE THERE IS UNITY THERE IS STRENGTH AND RELATIONSHIPS AND FELLOWSHIP WITH THE SAINTS IS JOYFUL. THE WORD OF GOD SAYS THE JOY OF THE LORD IS OUR STRENGTH. SO IF THE ADVERSARY CAN AFFECT THE STRENGTH OF THE BODY OF CHRIST, THEN HE WEAKENS THE UNITY. WE MUST GUARD OUR HEART AND OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE MOST HIGH. HIS FIRST COMMANMENT IS TO LOVE THE LORD THY GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART. SO IF THE LOVE REMAINS PURE AND FRONT AND CENTER, THEN WE BRING FORTH ACTIONS OF RIGHTEOUSNESS AND WILL KEEP US IN THE UNITY OF THE FAITH. KEEP YORU EYES ON THE PRIZE. DO NOT LOOK AT THE THINGS WITH THE NATURAL EYE BUT WITH THE SPIRITUAL. BE WISE AS A SERPENT BUT GENTLE AS A DOVE. SOMETIMES WHEN YOU ARE GOING THROUGH TESTS AND TRIALS AND IT SEEMS LIKE THE ENEMY IS ATTACKING ON EVERY FRONT. INSTEAD OF TRYING TO DO “DAMAGE CONTROL” AS WE OFTEN TRY TO DO, WE MUST SAY TO OURSELVES… THIS TIME I’M GOING TO DOING SOMETHING DIFFERENT THAN I ALWAYS DO. I’M NOT GOING TO TRY TO HANDLE THINGS MYSELF. I AM GOING TO TRUST IN THE LORD AND LEAN NOT TO MY OWN UNDERSTANDING. CAST YOUR CARES UPON HIM THOSE WHO ARE HEAVY LADEN AND BURDENED DOWN AND HE WILL GIVE YOU REST. DO NOT BE WEARY IN WELL DOING. YOU SHALL REAP IF YOU FAINT NOT.
PS 31:24
BE OF GOOD COURAGE, AND HE SHALL STRENGTHEN YOR HEART, ALL YE THAT HOPE IN THE LORD.

​DANIEL CHAPTER 2 STUDY GUIDE NOTES

AND IN THE SECOND YEAR OF THE REIGN OF NEBUCHADNEZZAR, NEBUCHADNEZZAR DREAMED DREAMS, WHERE HIS SPIRIT WAS TROUBLED, AND HIS SLEEP BREAK FROM HIM.
THEN THE KING COMMANDED TO CALL THE MAGICIANS AND THE ASTROLOGERS, AND THE SORCERERS, AND THE CHALDEANS, FOR TO SHEW THE KING HIS DREAMS. SO THEY CAME AND STOOD BEFORE THE KING.
AND THE KING SAID UNTO THEM, I HAVE DREAMED A DREAM, AND MY SPIRIT WAS TROUBLED TO KNOW THE DREAM.
THEN SPAKE THE CHALDEANS TO THE KING IN SYRIAC, O KING, LIVE FOR EVER: TELL THY SERVANTS THE DREAM, AND WE WILL SHEW THE INTERPRETATION.
THE KING ANSWERED AND SAID TO THE CHALDEANS, THE THING IS GONE FROM ME: IF YE WILL NOT MAKE KNOWN UNTO ME THE DREAM, WITH THE INTEREPRETATION THEREOF, YE SHALL BE CUT IN PIECES, AND YOUR HOUSES SHALL BE MADE A DUNGHILL.

The king Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, was the king that the Lord raised up to fulfill the prophecies of the Holy Prophet Jeremiah. He, with the Chaldeans besieged Jerusalem and took the children of Israel into captivity. This was the judgment of the Lord. Though the children were scattered and there were many deaths and destruction, the Lord spoke through his prophet that he would recompense his enemy and he proclaimed judgment upon King Nebuchadnezzar and that he would deliver his children. 

In chapter 2 of Daniel the Lord begins to reveal his will for His children with dreams and visions to the King. The Lord shares in previous chapters as well as as in the book of the prophet Jeremiah that no matter the circumstance or situation that there will be a remnant and that even in the midst of adversity He will be with his children. He will speak with them and he will lead and guide them according to his will. So, the Lord put his people in strategic places in the midst o fthe enemy  to be prepared for an appointed time to perform his word.

Psalm 1:1
Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

 The Lord has placed sound counselors in the midst of his children even though they had been taken into captivity. He will still have them utilize their gifts and talents given to edify and build up the kingdom of the living God.
After King Nebuchadnezzar dreamed a dream in the night, he needed an interpretation. The King of Babylon and the inhabitants were heavily involved into idolatry and falsehood. While the Lord god was I the process of judging sin, he at the same time was utilizing the opportunity to glorify himself as the true and living God.
Though the King had trained Daniel and the tree Hebrew boys and had found them better and wiser than all of his advisors, magicians, and strologers; they weren’t his first choice when he needed any interpretation of his dream.
Instead of calling upon the children of God that the Lord gave as counsel to get the answer or to inquire of the dream, the king called upon the magicians, astrologers, and sorcerers. 
While promising gifts and rewards for making known the dream, he also threatened to kill those who could not.

Daniel 2:13

AND THE DECREE WENTFORTH THAT THE WISE MEN SHOULD BE SLAIN; AND THEY SOUGHT DANIEL AND HIS FELLOWS TO BE SLAIN.
THEN DANIEL ANSWERED WITH COUNSEL AND WISDOM TO ARIOCH THE CAPTAIN OF THE KING’S GUARD, WHICH WAS GONE FORTH TO SLAY THE WISE MEN OF BABYLON:

Though the Lord revealed himself to the king through the four Hebrew boys, the king’s heart was hardened toward the children so that the lord could show himself a strong tower on behalf of his children and to judge his enemies.

The King Nebuchadnezzar had already been taken in pride and arrogance. Though his throne had been appointed by the Most High, he was saturated in self-righteousness. The pride strengthened when the Lord allowed him to carry Jehoikim and much of Judah into captivity.
 
ROMANS 9:14-18
WHAT SHALL WE SAY THEN? IS THERE UNRIGHTEOUSNESS WITH GOD? GOD FORBID.
FOR HE SAITH TO MOSES, I WILL HAVE MERCY ON WHOM I WILLHAVE MERCY, AND I WILL HAVE COMPASSION ON WHOM I WILL HAVE COMPASSION.
SO THEN IT IS NOT HIM THA TWILLETH, NOR OF HIM THA TRUNNETH, BUT OF GOD THAT SHEWETH MERCY.
FOR THE SCRIPTURE SAITH UNTO PHAROAH, EVEN FOR THIS PURPOSE HAVE I RAISED THEE UP, THATI MIGHT SHEW MY POWER IN THEE, AND THAT MY NAME MIGHT BE DECLARED THROUGHOUT ALL THE EARTH.

THEREFORE HATH HE MERCY ON WHOM HE WILL HAVE MERCY, AND WHOM HE WILL HE HARDENETH.

Let’s look at King Nebuchadnezzar for a moment. He is a gentile with no knowledge of the true  and living God. His surrounding of ungodly counsel, magicians, and strologers states that he is used to hearing the voice of the adversary. Nonetheless, the Lord God is the originator of all power and he wants to make it known unto the king.

Dreams are a form of communication. This dream originated from the Most High, whom the King Nebuchadnezzar had no relationship. Therefore, his spirit is troubled. The prophetic message that the Lord gives in the form of a dream frustrates the king to where he is willing  to kill/ slay all of the wise men within the provinces of Babylon.

Without a vision the people perish. In order to fulfill his will for his people, effective communication is necessary for all parties who have any authority over the children of God. He chastens his children but he had a plan of redemption and restoration.

JEREMIAH 29:10-17
FOR THUS SAITH THE LORD, THAT AFTER SEVENTY YEARS BE ACCOMPLISHED AT BABYLON I WILL VISIT YOU, AND PERFORM MY GOOD WORD TOWARD YOU, IN CAUSING YOU TO RETURN TO THIS PLACE.

THEN SHALL YE CALL UPON ME, AND YE SHALL GO AND PRAY UNTO ME, AND I WILL HEARKEN UNTO YOU.
AND YE SHALL SEEK ME, AND FIND ME, WHEN YE SHALL SEARCH FOR ME WITH ALL YOUR HEART.
AND I WILL BE FOUND OF YOU , SAITH THE LORD: AND I WILL TURN AWAY YOUR CAPTIVITY, AND I WILL GATHER YOU FROM ALL NATIONS, AND FROM ALL PLACES WHITHER I HAVE DRIVEN YOU, SAITH THE LORD; AND I WILLL BRING YOU AGAIN INTO THE PLACE WHNCE I CAUSED YOU TO BE CARRIED AWAY CAPTIVE.
BECAUSE YE HAVE SAID, THE LORD HAVE RAISED US UP PROPHETS IN BABYLON;
KNOW THAT THUS SAITH THE LORD OF THE KING THAT SITTETH UPON THE THRONE OF DAVID, AND OF ALL THE PEOPLE THAT DWELLETH IN THIS CITY, AND OFYOUR BRETHREN THAT ARE NOT GONE FORTH WITH YOU INTO CAPTIVITY;
THUS SAITH THE LORD OF HOSTS; BEHOLD, I WILL SEND UPON THEM THE SWORD, THE FAMINE, AND THE PESTILENCE, AND I WILL MAKE THEM VILE FIGS THAT CANNOT BE EATEN, THEY SO EVIL.
The Lord has stated that he will never leave nor forsake his people. He has a plan to bring them to their expected end. Daniel approaches Arioch and asks him for time to seek the Lord concerning the matter. Daniel also approaches the other three Hebrew boys, his companions so that they also would seek the Lord and petition for the mercy of God concerning the matter.
The answered Daniel and gave him the dream and the interpretation on behalf of the king. Daniel then praised the Lord for having made know the secret to him.

DANIEL 2:28

BUT THERE IS A GOD IN HEAVEN THAT REVEALETH SECRETS AND MAKETH KOWN TO THE KING NEBUCHADNEZZZAR WHAT SHALL BE IN THE LATTER DAYS. THY DREAM, AND THE VISIONS OF THY HEAD UPON THY BED, ARE THESE;
AS FOR THEE, O KING, THY THOUGHTS CAME INTO THY MIND UPON THY BED, WHAT SHOULD COME TO PASS HEREAFTER:

AND HE THAT REVEALETH SECRETS MAKETH KNOWN TO THEE WHAT SHALL COME TO PASS.

BUT AS FOR ME, THIS SECRET IS NOT REVEALED TO ME FOR ANY WISDOM THAT I HAVE MORE THAN ANY LIVING, BUT FOR THEIR SAKES THAT SHALL MAKE KNOWN THE INTERPRETATION TO THE KING, AND THAT THOU MIGHTEST KNOW THE THOUGHTS OF THY HEART.

THOU , O KING, SAWEST, AND BEHOLD A GREAT IMAGE. THIS GREAT IMAGE, WHOSE BRIGHTNESS WAS EXCELLENT, STOOD BEFORE THEE; AND THE FORM THEREOF WAS TERRIBLE.

THIS IMAGE’S HEAD WAS OF FINE GOLD. HIS BREAST AND HIS ARMS OF SILVER, HIS BELLY AND HIS THIGHS OF BRASS, 

HIS LEGS OF IRON, HIS FEET PART OF IRON, AND PART OF CLAY.

THOU SAWEST TILL THAT A STONE WAS CUT OUT WITHOUT HANDS, WHICH SMOTE THE IMAGE UPON THE FEET THAT WERE OF IRON AND CLAY, AND BRAKE THEM TO PIECES.

THEN WAS THE IRON, THE CLAY, THE BRASS, THE SILVER, AND THE GOLD, BROKEN TO PIECES TOGETHER, AND BECAME LIKE THE CHAFF OF THE SUMMER THRESHINGFLOORS; AND THE WIND CARRIED THEM AWAY, THAT NO PLACE WAS FOUND FOR THEM:
AND THE STONE THA TSMOTE THE IMAGE BECAME A GREAT MOUNTAIN, AND FILLED THE WHOLE EARTH.
THIS IS THE DREAM; AND WE WILL TELL THEE THE INTERPRETATION THEREOF BEFORE THE KING.

The prophet Daniel states to the king that the Lord who revealed secrets shall make him to know the things that shall come to pass. He goes on to say that the interpretation is made known so that it is revealed to the king the thoughts of his own heart.

LUKE 6:43-45
FOR A GOOD TREE BRINGETH NOT FORTH CORRUPT FRUIT; NEITHER DOTH A CORRUPT TREE BRING FORTH GOOD FRUIT.
FOR EVERY TREE IS KNOWN BY HIS OWN FRUIT. FOR OF THORNS MEN DO NOT GATHER FIGS, NOR OF A BRAMBLE BUSH GATHER THEY GRAPES.
A GOOD MAN OUT OF THE GODD TREASURE OF HIS HEART BRINGETH FORTH THAT WHICH IS GOOD; AND AN EVIL MAN OUT OF THE EVIL TREASURE OF HIS HEART BRINGETH FORTH THAT WHICH IS EVIL: FOR OUT OF THE ABUNDANCE OF THE HEART HIS MOUTH SPEAKETH.

So we see that the Lord is attempting to reveal himself to the king because of his heart (the thoughts within) and because he wants to reveal the end result for the chosen ones of Israel as well as the Kingdoms of the world, who continue to be adversaries to the children of God.

The great picture that the king beholds within his dream and considers to be terrible and excellent is a body. This “terrible” body that the king sees contains all of the kingdoms of the world in the last days. This body is the body of the enemy. It is the revelation of hell.

Just as the Lord Jesus Christ has a body, the body of Christ that he has prepared a place for in Heaven; the enemy also has a body in the midst of the earth. The Lord’s body originates from Heaven. The enemy’s body has been cast down to the lowest part; hell.

What is seen in the dream is “bright and excellent.” The head was of fine gold. It was beautiful to behold!

EZEKIEL 28:12-13

SON OF MAN, TAKE UP A LAMENTATION UPON THE KING TYRUS, AND SAY UNTO HIM, THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; THOU SEALEST UP THE SUM,FULL OF WISDOM, AND PERFECT IN BEAUTY.

The Lord shares that the enemy is cunning, crafty, and is beautiful to behold. This is how he is able to come in the last days to annihilate and weary the saints of the Most High. He is called the tempter for a reason. How can one be tempted without first appealing to their sense of beauty? This is how the enemy comes with seducing spirits and doctrines of devils to deceive the saints of God because it is wrapped in beauty.

The first king of gold is also connected with the second dream that the king has. The Lord, in the second revelation, uses the symbolism of a tree that has reached to the heavens. The Lords says that the has given him that kingdom, power, strength, and glory. He says that Nebuchadnezzar is ruler because the Lord have given the kingdom into his hand.

ROMANS 13:1

LET EVERY SOUL BE SUBJECT UNTO THE HIGHER POWERS. FOR THERE IS NO POWER BUT OF GOD: THE POWERS THAT BE ARE ORDAINED OF GOD.

His breast and the arms of the body are silver, his belly and his thighs are brass, his legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay are significant of other kingdoms that shall be that are inferior and not as strong as the first.
Remember, these things have come forth from the thoughts of the heart of the King Nebuchadnezzar.

It is mentioned in other commentaries that Daniel prophesied of the end time kingdoms, but it wasn’t given him to prophesy of the church. However, it may not have been given in much detail in such a way as his fellow soldier and Holy prophet Isaiah. Nonetheless, the church is there for a portion of time and it is seemingly revealed in the following text.

DANIEL 2:34
THOU SAWEST TILL THAT A STONE WAS CUT OUT WITHOUT HANDS WHICH SMOTE THE IMAGE UPON HIS FEET THAT WERE OF IRON AND CLAY, AND BRAKE THEM IN PIECES.

The Lord makes it clear that no matter what kingdoms are established in the latter days, His kingdom is the everlasting kingdom. It is not established by the hands of man, and it will brake into pieces any other kingdom of the world.

PSALM 118:22

 THE STONE WHICH THE BUILDERS REFUSED IS BECOME THE HEAD STONE OF THE CORNER.

COLOSIANS 2:9-12

FOR IN HIM DWELLETH ALL THE FULLNESS OF THE GODHEAD BODILY.
AND YE ARE COMPLETE IN HIM, WHICH IS THE HEAD OF ALL PRINCIPALITY AND POWER.
IN WHOM ALSO YE ARE CIRCUMSIZED WITH THE CIRCUMSION MADE WITHOUT HANDS, IN PUTTING OFF THE BODY OF THE SINS OF THE FLESH BY THE CIRCUMCISION OF CHRIST:

Jesus Christ is that stone which the builders rejected and has become the chief cornerstone. He is the head of  the church. The Word states to, “seek ye first the kingdom of God and all of his righteousness, and everything else shall be added (Matt6:33).”

So, though the Lord has allowed King Nebuchadnezzar to become a flourishing tree, appointed for a time, the Lord is acknowledging the pride and vanity of this kingdom and tells him that the kingdom along with all other kingdoms will not stand but shall be brought low.

EZEKIEL 28:2-8

SON OF MAN, SAY UNTO THE PRINCE OF TYRUS, THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD: BECAUSE THINE HEART IS LIFTED UP, AND THOU HAST SAID, I AM A GOD, I SIT IN THE SEAT OF GOD, IN THE MIDST OF THE SEAS; YET THOU ART A MAN, AND NOT GOD, THOUGH THOU SET THINE HEART AS THE HEART OF GOD: 
BEHOLD, THOU ART WISER THAN DANIEL; THERE IS NO SECRET THAT THEY CAN HIDE FROM THEE; 
WITH THY WISDOM AND WITH THINE UNDERSTANDING THOU HAST GOTTEN THEE RICHES, AND HAST GOTTEN GOLD AND SILVER INTO THY TREASURES. 
BY THY GREAT WISDOM AND BY THY TRAFFIC HAST THOU INCREASED THY RICHES, AND THINE HEART IS LIFTED UP BECAUSE OF THY RICHES: THEREFORE THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD; BECAUSE THOU HAST SEET THINE HEART AS THE HEART OF GOD; 
BEHOLD, THEREFORE I WILL BRING STRANGERS UPON THEE, THE TERRIBLE OF THE NATIONS: AND THEY SHALL DRAW THEIR SWORDS AGAINST THE BEAUTY OF THY WISDOM, AND THEY SHALL DEFILE THY BRIGHTNESS. THEY SHALL BRING THEE DOWN TO THE PIT, AND THOU SHALT DIE THE DEATHS OF THEM THAT ARE SLAIN IN THE MIDST OF THE SEA.

His legs of iron, feet part of iron and part of clay is symbolic of the framing of the fourth kingdom. The legs and feet are the means of mobility of a being. The feet are also symbolic of the preaching of the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ.

ISAIAH 52:7

HOW BEAUTIFUL UPON THE MOUNTIANS ARE THE FEET OF THEM THAT BRINGETH GOOD TIDINGS, THAT PUBLISHETH PEACE; THAT BRINGETH GOOD TIDINGS OF GOOD, THAT PUBLISHETH SALVATION; THAT SAITH UNTO ZION, THY GOD REIGNETH!

DANIEL 2:40-44

AND THE FOURTH KINGDOM SHALL BE STRONG AS IRON: FORASMUCH AS IRON BREAKETH IN PIECES AND SUBDUETH ALL THINGS: AND AS IRON THAT BREAKETH ALL THESE, SHALL IT BREAK IN PIECES AND BRUISE. AND WHEREAS THOU  SAWEST THE FEET AND TOES, PART OR POTTER’S CLAY, AND PART OF IRON, THE KINDGOM SHALL BE DIVIDED, BUT THTERE SHALL BE IN IT OF THE STRENGTH OF THE IRON, FORASMUCH AS THOU SAWEST THE IRON MIXED WITH MIRY CLAY. AND AS THE TOES OF THE FEET WERE PART OF IRON, A ND PART OF  CLAY, SO THE KINGDOM SHALL BE PARTLY STRONG, AND PARTLY BROKEN. AND WHEREAS THOU SAWEST IRON MIXED WITH MIRY CLAY, THEY SHALL MINGLE THEMSELVES WITH THE SEED OF MEN: BUT THEY SHALL NOT CLEAVE ON TO ANOTHER, EVEN AS IRON IS NOT MIXED WITH CLAY. AND IN THE DAYS OF THESE KINGS SHALL THE GOD OF HEAVEN SET UP A KINGDOM, WHICH SHALL NEVER BE DESTROYED: AND THE KINGDOM SHALL NOT BE LEFT TO OTHER PEOPLE, BUT IT SHALL BREAK IN PIECES AND CONSUME ALL THESE KINGDOMS, AND IT SHALL STAND FOR EVER.

The Lord speaks that within the fourth kingdom is considered to have the strength of iron. However, within it also are feet of clay from the potter. The Lord Jesus often refers to himself as the potter and his children as the clay. So, in the midst of this last kingdom the children of God and His church are planted where the Gospel shall be preached to all nations and kindred, and shall emerge as the “great mountain” that filled the whole Earth. The Lord gives significance to the fact that though the kingdom is divided it simply means that the children are planted as wheat amongst the tares. We are in the world, but not of the world.

REVELATION 2:25-29

BUT THAT WHICH YE HAVE ALREADY HOLD FAST TILL I COME. AND HE THAT OVERCOMETH, AND KEEPETH MY WORKS UNTO THE END, TO HIM WILL I GIVE POWER OVER THE NATIONS: AND HE SHALL RULE THEM WITH A ROD OF IRON; AS THE VESSELS OF A POTTER SHALL THEY BE BROKEN TO SHIVERS: EVEN AS I RECEIVED OF MY FATHER. AND I WILL GIVE HIM THE MORNING STAR. HE THAT HATH AN EAR, LET HIM HEAR WHAT THE SPIRIT SAITH UNTO THE CHURCHES. 

The Lord consistently promises His children that no matter the circumstances, even captivity, He will recompense His enemies. He said that those who trust and overcome shall reign with him. He has prophesied the kingdoms that have been established as well as His plan for restoration. 

DANIEL 2:47-48

THE KING ANSWERED UNTO DANIEL, AND SAID, OF A TRUTH IT IS, THAT YOUR GOD IS A GOD OF GODS, AND A LORD OF KINGS, AND A REVEALER OF SECRETS, SEEING THOU COULDEST REVEAL THIS SECRET. THEN THE KING MADE DANEIL A GREAT MAN, AND GAVE HIM MANY GREAT GIFTS, AND MADE HIM RULER OVER THE WHOLE PROVINCE OF BABYLON, AND CHIEF OF THE GOVERNORS OVER ALL THE WISE MEN OF BABYLON. THEN DANIEL REQUESTED OF THE KING, AND HE SET SHADRACH, MESHACH, AND ABEDNEGO, OVER THE AFFAIRS OF THE PROVINCE OF BABYLON: BUT DANIEL SAT IN THE GATE OF THE KING.

For a moment the king gave glory to God for revealing His will unto Him through the Prophet Daniel. The king elevated Daniel to sit in the gate amongst the wise men of the provinces though the Lord answered the petition through  Daniel, the Prophet, He requested that the three Hebrew boys seek God in unity concerning the matter. The Word says where there is unity, there is strength, and where two or three are gathered together He is in the midst. Because of this unity and humility, the Lord saw to it that Daniel requested elevation on behalf of His companions just as well.

 
TO THE REMNANT WHO KNOW THAT IT’S TIME TO DO THE WILL AND PURPOSE OF CHRIST. TO THOSE WHO HAVE PROCLAIMED THAT THEY WILL BE FAITHFUL SERVANTS OF THE MOST HIGH. I THANK MY GOD ALWAYS FOR THE PRAYERS WARRIORS WHO CONTINUE TO PUT ON THE WHOLE ARMOR AND CONTEND FOR THE FAITH IN TIMES SUCH AS THESE. THESE ARE NOT THE DAYS WHERE MANY WILL PROCLAIM THE TRUE GOSPEL OR TO CRY IN THE WILDERNESS MAKE THE PATHS OF THE LLORD STRAIGHT. THESE ARE NOT DAYS WHERE WE SEE VERY MANY TRUE WORSHIPPERS PRAISING AND LIFTING UP THE NAME OF JESUS. THESE ARE THE DAYS WHERE PURIFIED LOVE WAXES COLD BECAUSE THE INIQUITY AND SIN CONTINUES TO ABOUND. THERE ARE WARS AND RUMORS OF WARS. THE SEASONS ARE WHERE YOU CANNOT TELL THEM APART. MANY ARE FALLING BY THE WAYSIDE TO FALSE DOCTRINE AND SEDUCING SPIRITS. THE MOTHERS ARE AGAINST DAUGHTER AND FATHERS AGAINST SONS. THOSE IN THE HOUSEHOLD HAVE BECOME ADVERSARIES. THE TIME IS TO CONTINUE TO WATCH AND PRAY. STAND FOR HOLINESS AND STAND FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS. GUARD YOUR HEART. GUARD THE CHILDREN. TEACH THE WORD ACCORDING TO THE SPIRIT OF GOD REGARDLESS IF IT IS NOT POPULAR. REMEMBER THE VOW AND COVENANT THAT JESUS CHIRST MADE TO YOU AND YOU MADE TO HIM. HE WILL LEAD AND GUIDE YOU IN THE PATH OF ALL TRUTHS IF YOU DO HIS WILL AND NOT LEAN TO YOUR OWN UNDERSTANDING. WE MUST RECOGNIZE THE WARFARE AND BE WISE AS SERPENTS AND YET GENTLE AS DOVES. THE LORD IS THERE EVEN WHILE THE ENEMIES CONTINUE TO SURROUND US AT THE GATE. JESUS IS THERE. WE MUST BE WRAPPED UP AND TIED UP IN HIS WORD AND LET THE FLESH BE PUT UNDER SUBJECTION. ABSTAIN FROM ALL APPEARANCE OF EVIL.TRUST IN THE LORD AND DO GOOD. SPEAK THE WORD OUT OF YOUR MOUTH AND THE LORD JESUS CHIST WILL PERFORM HIS WORD IN DUE SEASON. DO NOT BE WEARY IN WELL DOING. I REPEAT DO NOT GROW FAINT. PRAISE. SEAK. STAND. BELIEVE ONLY. THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS EVERLASTING. KNOW IT. BELIEVE AND STAND ON THAT FACT. SO SEEK YE FIRST THE KINGDOM AND EVERTHING ELSE SHALL BE ADDED. YOU WILL SEE THE KINGDOM COME FRONT AND CENTER. THOSE WHO KNOW HIM WILL KNOW HIM AND THOSE WHO DON’T WON’T. MEANING, THE JUST SHALL LIVE BY FAITH. REMEMBER THE UNITY MUST BE BY THE HOLY SPIRIT AND YOU SHALL KNOW THEM BY THEIR FRUITS. I HAVE NOT FAILED IN MY PLAN FOR REDEMPTION.. I HAVE NOT FAILED AT BEING A SAVIOR TO THOSE WHO ARE WILLING TO RECEIVE ME. I AM THERE AND MY SPIRIT, THE HOLY SPIRIT WILL REIGN FOR ETERNITY.
1 JOHN 4:6
WE ARE OF GOD: HE THAT KNOWETH GOD HEARETH US; HE THAT IS NOT OF GOD HEARETH NOT US. HEARBY KNOW WE THE SPIRIT OF TRUTH, AND THE SPIRIT OF ERROR.
 1 JOHN 2:24
LET THEREFORE ABIDE IN YOU, WHICH YE HAVE HEARD FROM THE BEGINNING. IF THAT WHICH YOU HAVE HEARD FROM THE BEGINNING SHALL REMAIN IN YOU, YOU SHALLL CONTINUE IN THE SON, AND IN THE FATHER. 

​A HOUSE DIVIDED YOU KNOW WHT’S WRONG. THOSE WHO WEIGH THE SCALE IN THE BALANCE THE BALANCING ACT THAT THEY HAVE DONE HAS CAUSED THE HOUSE TO BE DIVIDED AND FALL. THEY HAVE BALANCED EVERYTHING THEY THOUGHT THEY COULD BALANCE. THEY HAVE BALANCED EVERYTHING EXCEPT ME. THEY HAVE PUT EVERYTHING ON THE ACALE AND THEY THINK THE BALANCING IS WORKING OUT. LITTLE DO THEY KNOW THAT I WILL DESTROY THE DIVIDED HOUSE. THEY SAY THAT THEY LOVE ME BUT SERVE OTHER GODS THEMSELVES. SELF RIGHTEOUSNESS IS ONE OF THE GODS THEY SERVE. SELF-RIGHTEOUSNESS IS A SIN, YOU KNOW THIS. SELF RIGHTEOUSNESS IS A VANITY. VANITY IS WHAT THE DEVIL IS ALL ABOUT. THE DEVIL AND HIS DEMONIC FORCES COME TO WREAK HAVOC AMONG THE PEOPLE. IT ALL STARTS WITH SELF-RIGHTEOUSNESS AND VANITY…DESIRES THAT THEY CANNOT HAVE. IT CAUSES THE HOUSE TO BE DIVIDED AND FALL. THEY TRY TO WEIGH IN THE BALANCE EVERYTHING ON THE SCALE EXCEPT ME. ALL THE THINGS THEY PUT IN THEIR MIND TO MAKE THEMSELVES BELIEVE THEIR SERVANTS OF ME. FALSE HUMILITY. THERE IS NOTHING THAT I DON’T KNOW ABOUT YOU. I KNOW EVERY DIRECTION THAT YOU MAY DECIDED TO CHOOSE. I KNOW EVERY DIRECTION THAT YOU WILL CHOOSE. BUT THIS BALANCING ACT THAT THEY HAVE DONE HAS CAUSED ME TO FROWN UPON ALL THE NATIONS. THERE IS NO NATION THAT I HAVE NOT FROWNED UPON BECAUSE THEY HAVE ALLOWED THE FOUNDATIONS TO CRUMBLE. THEY HAVE ALLOWED THE BALANCING ACTS AND HAVE REPLACED ME. THIS IS A SIN. YOU MUST NOT BE SORROWFUL. YOU MUST NOT MOURN FOR WHAT I AM ABOUT TO DO. I HAVE CREATED MAN AND WOMAN, BUT I CAN DESTROY JUST AS WELL AS I HAVE CREATED AND DESTRUCTION WILL COME IN MANY WAYS. I AM WHO I SAY I AM AND I WILL GO UPON THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN DISOBEDIENT AND THE ONES’ WHO WILL NOT HEAR THE WORD AND I WILL BRING AN UNIMAGINABLE FURY AGAINST THEM. MY WORD SPEAKS OF THESE THIINGS. HOWEVER, THE INTERPRETATION OF THE PAIN THEY WILL ENCOUNTER IS NOT SO CLEAR. THE THINGS YOU WILL SEE.. YOU WILL SAY, “I HAVE READ IT IN THE SCRIPTURES.” YES, IT’S WRITTEN IN THE HOLY COMMANDS BUT SOME THINGS YOU WILL SEE WILL KIND OF BEWILDER YOU BECAUSE THE INTERPRETATION OF THE WORD HAS NOT COME FRONT AND CENTER TO MAN BECAUSE MAN CONTINUES TO BALANCE EVERYTHING EXCEPT ME. SO HOW CAN THEY INTERPRET THE WORD THAT I HAVE SET UPON THEM THOUGH I HAVE GIVEN THEM THE HOLY SPIRIT TO LEAD AND GUIDE THEM IN ALL TRUTHS BUT THEY CANNOT SIT EVEN FOR A REW MINUTES TO SUPP WITH ME. HOW CAN THYE KNOW THE SPIRIT TRYING TO LEAD AND GUIDE THEM? DO YOU UNDERSTAND? YOU MUST SUP WITH ME SO THAT I CAN TEACH YOU. THE HOLY SPIRIT WILL SIT UPON EVERY BELIEVER IF THEY DESIRE TO SEEK AFTER ME. I HAVE GIVEN THEM A COMFORTER. I HAVE GIVEN YOU A PART OF ME. TELL THEM THIS IS THEIR FINAL WARNING. THIS WORD WILL NOT COME BACK VOID. TELL THEM TO STOP BALANCIN GEVERYTHING AND SSTART BALANCING ME. SEEK AFTER ME. SUP WITH ME AND I WILL STOP WHAT I AM GOING TO DO.. THE DESTRUCTION WIL BE SWIFT. THEY WILL NOT KNOW WHAT HIT THEM. IT WILL BE A FIERCE DESTRUCTION AND THEY WILL CRY OUT TO ME BUT I WILL NOT HEAR THEM. THE ONLY ONES THAT I WILL HEAR ARE THE ONES WHO HAVE AN EAR TO HEAR MY VOICE. THERE ARE MANY DEMONS THAT SEEK AFTER YOU AS WE SPEAK. THEY ARE SENT THROUGH PEOPLE BECAUSE DEMONS ARE IN PEOPLE. YOU KNOW THIS. THEY GO OUT AND THEN THEY COME BACK TO THEM. THEY SPEAK THINGS OUT OF THEIR MOUTH AND THE DEMONS ARE RELEASED. EVERYTHING IS SPIRITUAL. THEY CHRISTIANS THAT CALL THEMSELVES CHRISTIANS HAVE NO CLUE WHAT I’M SPEAKING ABOUT BECAUSE THEY ARE PUFFED UP IN THEIR FLESH. THERE ARE MANY THAT STILL NEED TO BE SOUGHT THAT HAVE CHOSEN ME. JUST SAY THAT YOU ARE FULLY COMMITTED. I WILL COUNT THEM AMONG THE FOUND. DO NOT TAKE DOWN FOR THE ENEMY. THE GIFTS AND TALENTS WILL COME ALIVE. 

​IN PLAIN SIGHT THEY DO WHAT THEY DO. WHY HIDE? WHEN EVERYTHING OF THIS WORLD IS OF THE OTHER ONE? IN PLAIN SIGHT THEY SEEK TO DESTROY YOU AND IN PLAIN SIGHT I WILL DESTROY THEM ALL. I POUR OUT MY CUP RIGHT NOW AGAINST THEM. MY CUP RUNNETH OVER AND I POUR OUT MY WRATH IN THE MIDST OF WHAT THEY ARE TRYING TO DO. THEY ARE OPERATING AND THEY KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING. NO LONGER CAN THEY SAY THAT THEY ARE CONFUSED BECAUSE YOU HAVE WASHED YOUR HANDS ON THEM AND YOU HAVE DONE NO WRONG TO THEM. YOU HAVE RECEIVED THEM IN LOVE AND IN THE SPIRIT OF LOVE. DO NOT SHOW ANY ACTIONS OF EMOTION. DO NOT SHOW ANY ACTIONS  EITHER WAY. YOU CAN SHOW COMPASSION BUT DO NOT MOVE IN ANY WAY THAT SEEM TO THEM TO GLOAT. A VENGEANCE HAVE BEEN SOUGHT. THIS HAS COME AND THIS MUST BE. THIS IS SOMETHING YOU MUST PRAY AND SEEK ME ABOUT BECAUSE VENGEANCE BELONG TO NEITHER ONE OF YOU. YOU MUST NOT BE PUFFED UP IN REGARDS TO ANYTHING THAT HAPPENS TO ANYONE. YOU MUST PRAY AND SEEK THE LORD LIKE YOU NEVER SOUGHT ME. SEEK ME IN YOUR WALK, IN YOUR PATH, EVERY DIRECTION IN YOUR LIFE. YOU MUST SEEK ME AND WHT EVER HAPPENS IT JUST HAPPENS. YOU PRAY THAT THE THINGS THAT FALL UPON THEM DOES NOT FALL UPON YOU. YOU PRAY THAT YOU SEEK ME AND THAT I MAY BE SOUGHT. THE ENEMY IS CRAFTY IN EVERY FORM AND EVERY SHAPE THAT HE COMES. HE COMES IN DIFFERENT SHAPES, FASHIONS, AND FORMS. SOMETIMES YOU SEE THEM AND SOMETIMES YOU DON’T AND SOMETIMES YOURE CONFUSED ABOUT WHAT FORMS HE COMES THAT’S WHY YOU MUST HAVE THE HOLY SPIRIT HIS SECRET PLOTS. THE ONLY WAY IT WILL BE REVEALED IS THROUGH THE HOLY SPIRIT THAT I HAVE GIVEN YOU TO LEAD AND GUIDE YOU TO BE YOUR DIRECTION THAT IS PART OF ME AS AN EXTENSION OF ME. WHY DO YOU NOT ALLOW MORE OF AN EXTENSION OF ME? THIS IS THE QUESTION THA TDOESN’T HAVE AN ANSWER BECAUSE YOU CANNOT HAVE AN ANSWER BECAUSE OF FLESH AND BLOOD. BUT YOU MUST GET OUT OF FLESH AND ALLOW MY SPIRIT TO REIGN UPON YOU BOTH THAT WAY YOU SEE THINGS MORE CLEARLY. WHEN THINGS COME UPON PEOPLE IT WILL BE OF NO AFFECT TO YOU. CONTINUE TO MOVE WITHOUT ANY DOUBT. NO FEAR. NO GLOATING. NO VANITY. NOTHING WILL MOVE IN FLESHLY EMOTION BUT EVERYTHING WILL BE A SPIRITUAL MOVE. SPIRITUAL WALK AND SPIRITUAL CONVERSATION AND A SPIRITUAL WAY TO GO.

SPIRITUAL WARFARE WHISPER
​GALATIANS 1:10
BUT THOUGH WE, OR AN ANGEL FROM HEAVEN, PREACH ANY OTHER GOSPEL UNTO YOU THAN THAT WHICH WE HAVE PREACHED UNTO YOU, LET HIM BE ACCURSED.
AS WE SAID BEFORE, SO SAY I NOW AGAIN, IF ANY MAN PREACH ANY OTHER GOSPEL UNTO YOU THAN THAT YE HAVE RECEIVED, LET HIM BE ACCURSED.
FOR DO I NOW PERSUADE MEN OR GOD? OR DO I SEEK TO PLEASE MEN? FOR IF I YET PLEASED MEN, I SHOULD NOT BE THE SERVANT OF CHRIST.
BUT I CERTIFY YOU, BRETHREN THAT THE GOSPEL WHICH WAS PREACHED OF ME IS NOT AFTER MAN.
FOR I NEITHER RECEIVED IT OF MAN, NEITHER WAS I TAUGHT IT , BUT BY THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST.
COLOSSIANS 2:18-23
LET NO MAN BEGUILE YOU OF YOUR REWARD IN A VOLUNTARY HUMILITY AND WORSHIPPING OF ANGELS, INTRUDING INTO THOSE THINGS WHICH HE HATH NOT SEEN, VAINLY PUFFED UP BY HIS FLESHLY MIND.
AND NOT HOLDING THE HEAD, FROM WHICH ALL THE BODY BY JOINTS AND BANDS HAVING NOURISHMENT MINISTERED, AND KNIT TOGETHER INCREASETH WITH THE INCREASE OF GOD.
WHEREFORE IF YE BE DEAD WITH CHRIST FROM THE RUDIMENTS OF THE WORLD, WHY, AS THOUGH LIVING IN THE WORLD, ARE YE SUBJECT TO ORDINANCES, (TOUCH NOT, TASTE NOT; HANDLE NOT; WHICH ALL ARE TO PERISH WITH THE USING;) AFTER THE COMMANDMENTS AND DOCTRINES OF MEN?
WHICH THINGS HAVE INDEED A SHEW OF WIDOM IN WILL-WORSHIP, AND HUMILITY, AND NEGLECTING OF THE BODY; NOT IN ANY HONOUR TO THE SATISFYING OF THE FLESH.
BEWARE LEST ANY MANSPOIL YOU THROUGH PHILOSOPHY AND VAIN DECEIT, AFTER THE TRADITION OF MEN, AFTER THE RUDIMENTS OF THE WORLD, AND NOT AFTER CHRIST.
THE LORD JESUS CHRISST CAME WE THAT WE SHOULD HAVE LIFE AND HAVE IT MORE ABUNDANTLY. HE IS THE AUTHOR AND FINISHER OF OUR FAITH. HE SAID FREELY HE HAS GIVEN AND THEREFORE WE SHOULD FREELY GIVE AND REJOICING BY FAITH. THAT’S THE KIND OF GOD WE SERVE. HE IS NOT A BULLY. JESUS LOVES AND CARES FOR HIS CHILDREN. HE IS THE GOOD SHEPPARD AND IS KNOWN OF HIS. HE IS THE BREAD OF LIFE. HIS ORDINANCES AND PRECEPTS ARE WRITTEN FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS SAKE AND HOLINESS. HE HASN’T GIVEN PRECEPTS TO CREATE TURMOIL AND CHAOS BUT TO BUILD UNITY AND STREGTH. HE HAS EVEN POURED OUT HIS HOLY SPIRIT TO WHOMEVER WILL DESIRE TO RECEIVE HIM. WE MUST ALLOW HIS PURIFIED LOVE TO REIGN IN THE CENTER OF OUR LIVES. CLEARLY THERE IS NO PEACE WITHOUT THE PRINCE OF PEACE. WE CANOT CONTINUE TO ALLOW THE ELIMINATION OF THE SPIRIT IN OUR SCHOOLS AND AMONGST THOSE IN THE WORKPLACE AND STILL HAVE AN EXPECTATION OF RIGHTEOUS END RESULT. NO LONGER CAN WE ALLOW SUBSTITUTION OF THE TRUE AND LIVING GOD. HE DIED SO THAT WE COULD BE FREE TO DO HIS WILL AND HIS PURPOSE. HE DIDN’T INTEND FOR HIS CHOSEN TO USE THEIR AUTHORITY TO ESTABLISH RUDIMENTS AND ORDINANCES THAT WERE CONTRARY TO THE LIVING WORD OF GOD.
COLOSSIANS 3:5
MORTIFY THEREFORE YOUR MEMBERS WHICH ARE UPON THE EARTH; FORNICATION, UNCLEANESS, INORDINATE AFFECTION, EVIL CONCUPISCENCE, COVETOUSNESS, WHICH IS IDOLATRY. FOR WHICH THINGS SAKE THE WRATH OF GOD COMETH UPON THE CHILDREN OF DISOBEDIENCE.
THE LORD PLEADS WITH THE CHILDREN TO WALK AFTER THE SPIRIT OF GOD TO NOT FULFIL THE LUSTS OF THE FLESH. HE SAYS WHEN WE DO NOT PUT TO DEATH THOSE DESIRES OF THE FLESH, IT IS CONSIDERED TO HIM IDOLATRY. THIS TYPE OF IDOLATRY IS SELF RIGHTEOUSNESS. WHEN A PERSON PUTS THEMSELVES BEFORE THE WILL AND PURPOSE OF CHRIST. BY DOING SO CAUSES THE WRATH OF GOD TO COME UPON THOSE WHO WANT TO WALK IN DISOBEDIENCE. THE LORD CHASTENS HIS CHILDREN BUT WE DON’T WANT TO WALK AS CHILDREN OF DISOBEDIENCE BECAUSE WE WALK AFTER THE CARES OF THE WORLD INSTEAD OF SEEKING HIM FOR HIS SPIRIT OF HOLINESS.
PUT ON THEREFORE, AS THE ELECT OF GOD, HOLY AND BELOVED, BOWELS OF MERCIES, KINDNESS, HUMBLENESS OF MIND, MEEKNESS, LONGSUFFERING;
FORBEARING ONE ANOTHER, AND FORGIVING ONE ANOTHER, IF ANY MAN HAVE A QUARREL AGAINST ANY: EVEN AS CHRIST FORGAVE YOU, SO ALSO DO YE.
