Daniel’s prayer Daniel 9 – Key chapter Greatest prophecies concerning times, purposes, coming and death of Messiah Edward Denny – “the Backbone of Prophecy” 3 Parts: Preparation – vs 1-2 Prayer – vs 3-19 Prophecy – vs 20-27 Daniel 9 – The preparation (vs 1-3) Daniel is in his late 70’s (67 years after captivity) Reading the scriptures Specifically Jeremiah (25 & 29) Understands the captivity is nearing its end Moved by fact – “time is short” to pray Daniel 9 – The prayer (vs 4-19) Daniel prayer is a priority: Fiery furnace King Neb’s dream Lion’s den Prayer can be controversial esp. public – in the name of Jesus Christ Persecution Daniel faced same controversy – lion’s den Satan hates prayer. Why? Powerful It is his undoing & demise Our Problems in Prayer: Some wait until the crisis until they pray Trouble is already here and you are in crisis Need to see it as communication as children with Father in heaven Model prayer as taught by Lord Jesus Christ: "In this manner, therefore, pray: Our Father in heaven,

Jesus and the “Impossibles” Why read, study and meditate on the scriptures Romans 15:4 For whatever was written in earlier times was written for our instruction, so that through perseverance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope. What we should do: Proverbs 3:5-6  Trust in the Lord with all your heart And do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He will make your paths straight. Trust God from the bottom of your heart; don’t try to figure out everything on your own. Listen for God’s voice in everything you do, everywhere you go; He’s the one who will keep you on track Why we should trust God Hebrews 11:6  But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. God’s view on impossibilities “Impossible” Scriptures Jeremiah 32:17 “Ah, Lord God! Behold, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and outstretched arm. There is nothing too

True Greatness Greatness – How do we define/Measure? Our society would say A person with power – control people and events A person with prestige – accomplishments, accolades A person of position – status in culture, society, school, jobs A person with possessions – what they own & earn The Dictionary would say 1. greatness - the property possessed by something or someone of outstanding importance. 2. greatness - unusual largeness in size or extent.  (M.Webster) About 150 people known as ------ the Great from google search Herod the Great Ivan the Great Alexander the Great Napoleon the Great Peter the Great Catherine the Great The Great One (Wayne Gretzky) 3 described as great from Daniel 8: Daniel the Prophet – proclaimed by God Cyrus the Great – proclaimed by self Alexander the Great – proclaimed by self There is One who was greater than all! – who was declared the Son of God with power by the resurrection from the dead, according to the Spirit of holiness, Jesus Christ our Lord (Rom 1:4 NASB) 1.

Micah 6 God speaks to a disobedient people 1. In the courtroom of God God’s accusation against Israel The witness of creation God calls the mountains and hills to be witness in this conversation resembling a legal case. The mountains and hills were present (Mount Sinai) when God made His covenant with Israel in Exodus 20. Think about the timelessness and strength of the mountains, and of the covenant. Psalm 19:1-4 speaks of the ‘silent witness’ of creation. Answer Me. v. 3 “My people, what have I done to you, And how have I wearied you? Answer Me. God Blessed Israel Abundantly Parting the Red Sea & the Jordan River Providing for their physical needs Defending them from other kings and nations Raising up and choosing leaders … So ‘Why are you treating me this way?’ False obedience Verses 6 & 7 have a new voice representing Israel. The questions reveal that the heart is far from God. They treat God as if more religion, more works, and more material sacrifice will solve the problem of sin. True obedience is only

Why did Jesus die? Jesus died that we might live through Him 1 John 4: 9 In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him We are all born spiritually dead A spiritually dead does not respond to spiritual things What does a dead man need? Life Life is exactly what Jesus gives when we turn to him Jesus died that we might live for Him John 5:24 Most assuredly, I say to you, he who hears My word and believes in Him who sent Me has everlasting life, and shall not come into judgment, but has passed from death into life Christ died that we might live through him He bore the penalty and shame for my sins He gave me forgiveness and eternal life 2 Corinthians 5: 15 And He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again We have a purpose for living We live for Christ by living for others daily Jesus died that we might live with Him Jesus was made lower than
