Daniel 7:1-14
As we enter Daniel chapter 7, we are backing up to see the spiritual revelation that God was giving Daniel during previous events we have already looked at. Remember that while we see the events unfolding in the world around us, there is also a spiritual dimension that is playing out at the same time. Never forget that God is in control and never lose hope in His plan for your life. There are exciting discussions on prophecy ahead, you won’t want to miss the discussion!

Daniel 6:21-28
Faith is not finished after salvation, it is to be the mode of operation for the rest of our lives. Trials and temptations are really just tests to strengthen our faith, and it is faith that motivates holiness. We learn all this and more as we continue to look at the book of Daniel chapter six.

Micah 7:1-9
The personal message from Micah to us is not one of dreary pessimism or from a downer mentality, it is one of hope and beauty rooted in the unchangeableness of Jesus and the glory and grace of the gospel. Remember the immense personal loss God sustained on our behalf. What love! We must guard and protect our hearts only for God. That is the true remedy for loneliness in the midst of a corrupt and wicked world.

Daniel 6:16-20
Today we start by clarifying that God does not overlook the sins of others merely because persecution is a necessary part of the Christian life. Although we are told to expect it, that does not excuse the wrongdoing of others. We also learn that Daniel’s choice to obey God rather than his earthly authority had the greatest influence on the king’s faith in God.

Daniel 6:10-15
We are challenged as we read about the consistency of Daniel’s devotional life and his decision to do what is right before God even against other authority in his life. These are such valuable lessons for when we face persecution. Remember to focus on pleasing the Lord consistently no matter what.

Daniel 6:6-9
In those moments when people lie about you and try to gain favoritism through flattery and deceit, remember you are not alone. Daniel, and many other prophets, and ultimately Christ Himself experienced the same treatment. I know this is not easy, and it hurts, but remember that God sees the heart and He is the one we should be trying to please. God is always watching, and it is His approval that really matters for life and eternity.
Studying God's Word
This podcast is committed to studying God's Word through consistent normal-literal-grammatical interpretation, in connection with the context, from a dispensational approach, and by comparing Scripture with Scripture. Every episode will examine the Scripture expositionally from a Separated Baptistic perspective. We believe God's Word is sufficient for all matters of life and theology and look forward to studying it each week together!
About the Host
I am 100% non-catholic, non-charismatic, non-calvinist, non-chauvinist, non-conformist Christian. As a sixteen-year-old, I surrendered to the call to preach one night in youth group, and I began preparing for the ministry even as a homeschooler. I studied Youth Ministries and Church Music at Pensacola Christian College, where I graduated in 2021. While there, I was on staff at a large youth group as well as being a Christian Service leader, residence assistant, and the senior class chaplain, which gave me broad exposure into the calling of ministering to people. The Lord also used three summers counseling at Christian camps, and attending and preaching in churches across the US to impress upon me the need for serious New Testament churches. I believe these experiences give me unique insight that will prepare me for the calling to plant a church in the future. Currently, I am intensely studying the Bible, completing courses, reading, and writing in preparation for that calling. Thanks for listening!
