Daniel in the Lion’s Den: watercolor circa 1896–1902 by James Tissot

I have previously written how the United States has become a very evil country, perhaps the most evil country in the world right now, and that God’s judgment seems to be imminent.

We saw further evidence of just how evil we have become earlier this week when Project Veritas published an interview with a Department of Homeland Security whistleblower who revealed that not only are we allowing known criminals and child sex traffickers to cross the border into this country, we are issuing Employment Authorization Cards so that they can stay in the country legally to work. See:

Homeland Security Whistleblower: U.S. Government Giving Permits to Gangs Coming Across the Border to Sexually Traffick Children

I have compared our modern times to another period of world history where a great nation was destroyed by God’s judgment, the nation of Israel/Judah in 586 BC, and how the prophet Jeremiah stood alone as a prophet in warning the people of imminent disaster, while being mocked by the religious class of his day, and even his own family. See:

What Happens When a Holy and Righteous God Gets Angry? Lessons from History and the Prophet Jeremiah

The similarities between Israel in the 580s BC and the United States today are striking: child sacrifice, sexual perversion, corrupt religious leaders, the rich and powerful corrupting justice, and deceit and lies being the norm, where the truth is rare.

Jeremiah stood alone, but he was proven correct, when Jerusalem was surrounded and starved to death, and then destroyed.

This is what Jeremiah wrote in the small book of Lamentations just after Jerusalem was destroyed:

My eyes fail from weeping, I am in torment within, my heart is poured out on the ground because my people are destroyed, because children and infants faint in the streets of the city.

They say to their mothers, “Where is bread and wine?” as they faint like wounded men in the streets of the city, as their lives ebb away in their mothers’ arms.

Should women eat their offspring, the children they have cared for?

Young and old lie together in the dust of the streets; my young men and maidens have fallen by the sword. You have slain them in the day of your anger; you have slaughtered them without pity. (Lamentations 2)

I also wrote about one of Jeremiah’s contemporaries, Ezekiel, who prophesied in the country of Babylon where he had already been deported to, prior to the fall of Jerusalem, and how he was called to be a “watchman” to warn the people of the coming disaster. See:

Is God Calling you to be a “Watchman” to Warn Others of What is Coming?

In this article, I want to look at another contemporary of Jeremiah and Ezekiel who lived during that time: Daniel.

Daniel and a few others were young men who were from the royal family, from the line of King David, who were carried off into captivity in Babylon, and apparently castrated so they could not marry and produce children, and then sent into training to serve in the court of the king of Babylon.

The book of Daniel teaches us that even as a minority serving under hostile forces, if we resist evil and tyranny, fearing God more than we fear the tyrants, we can expect God to act supernaturally to overcome evil and protect his own people.

The 3 Principles of Daniel

Here are what I see are the 3 principles taught in the first part of the book of Daniel in the Bible, before the prophecies of the future were recorded (to be dealt with in a separate article).

First, do not be defiled by the culture. Seek the wisdom of God.

Second, do not comply with evil directives or laws.

Third, do not give your enemies any leverage. Make them attack your faith and trust in God.

Defilement: Are You Shaping the Culture, or is the Culture Shaping You?

Daniel Chapter 1.

But Daniel resolved that he would not defile himself with the king’s food, or with the wine that he drank. Therefore he asked the chief of the eunuchs to allow him not to defile himself.  (Daniel 1:8)

Daniel and his three friends, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, were members of the royal family from the line of King David. They were “youths” when they were carried away from their homes in Israel into captivity in Babylon, and they were chosen to enter directly into the king’s service and go through a 3-year period of learning and preparation.

As prisoners of war, they were not executed but given a chance to assimilate into the Babylonian culture and serve the king. They had to learn a new language, and a new way of life.

They had no hopes of ever starting their own families, or pursuing their own goals or dreams of continuing the line of David to rule in their homeland of Israel.

That was now all gone – lost. They were destined to live out their lives as servants of the king of Babylon.

But even in the worst of these circumstances, Daniel and his friends never lost their faith in God and his purposes for their lives.

As is clear from this opening chapter in Daniel and in the chapters that follow, they were determined not to let the Babylonian culture change them in regards to their faith, but instead trust themselves to God and serve him, allowing God to use them to change the Babylonian culture.

So the first thing they determined to do was to make sure they would not be defiled by the king’s “choice food” and wine. The text here does not really say why the food and wine was defiled, but we know from other verses that there were food rituals to the pagan gods or demons of the Babylonians, and certain meats were considered unclean by the Jews according to the Law of Moses.

Daniel and his friends were more concerned about offending God than they were in participating in the luxurious food that came from the king’s table and had probably been offered up to the Babylonian gods.

So they requested to be fed simply vegetables and water, the food of the poor which would not have been subjected to idolatrous worship and be spiritually defiled.

It would be incorrect to think that Daniel and his friends were vegetarians by principle. According to the Old Testament writings there was nothing wrong with eating proper meats or drinking wine.

As members of nobility and the royal family back in Jerusalem, they would certainly have been accustomed to fine food (see a sample of what was eaten by Jewish kings in Solomon’s day in I Kings 4:22-23).

In fact, the law of Moses commanded the Jews to eat meat during the sacrifices that were made at the temple.

Also, Daniel later records in chapter 10: “I ate no delicacies, no meat or wine entered my mouth, nor did I anoint myself at all, for the full three weeks.”

He could not have “fasted” from these things if he had never consumed them in the first place.

Daniel and his friends wanted to be right before God, to be used by God to fulfill his purpose in their lives. So they did not want to defile themselves with idolatrous practices in the Babylonian culture.

They trusted in God, and the result was that they found favor in the eyes of the steward in charge of them who allowed them to eat and drink that which would not defile them. God honored their faith and allowed them to excel both physically and mentally more than all their peers.

As we will see in the following chapters, instead of the culture changing them, they ended up changing the Babylonian culture to such an extent that the whole world was affected by their actions of faith.

Daniel then said to the guard whom the chief official had appointed over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah, “Please test your servants for ten days: Give us nothing but vegetables to eat and water to drink. Then compare our appearance with that of the young men who eat the royal food, and treat your servants in accordance with what you see.”

So he agreed to this and tested them for ten days. At the end of the ten days they looked healthier and better nourished than any of the young men who ate the royal food.

So the guard took away their choice food and the wine they were to drink and gave them vegetables instead.

To these four young men God gave knowledge and understanding of all kinds of literature and learning. And Daniel could understand visions and dreams of all kinds.

At the end of the time set by the king to bring them in, the chief official presented them to Nebuchadnezzar.

The king talked with them, and he found none equal to Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah; so they entered the king’s service.

In every matter of wisdom and understanding about which the king questioned them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and enchanters in his whole kingdom. And Daniel remained there until the first year of King Cyrus. (Daniel 1:11-21)

The Old Covenant animal blood sacrifices and food laws were all fulfilled by Jesus Christ in the New Covenant, as Jesus was the “Lamb of God” who offered up the perfect blood sacrifice as the payment for our sins.

So the issue of spiritual defilement by animals not slaughtered properly is no longer in place under the New Covenant.

Instead, we can be defiled by our culture today by participating in idolatry, serving the Satanic world system instead of serving God, and today that is mainly happening through pharmakeia and being defiled by their idolatrous products such as vaccines.

It is time for the people of God to wean themselves off of pharmakeia, if we expect God to do miraculous things through our faith. See:

The Value and Power of God’s Wisdom

Daniel Chapter 2

Once we eliminate the idols in our lives from our culture that draw us away from living a life of faith in God, we can begin to expect God to give us supernatural wisdom and revelation that cannot be known by natural means, such as the “scientific method.”

In Daniel chapter 2, God gave the king a disturbing dream, and he desperately wanted to know its meaning.

So he called all his wise men to him and asked them to interpret the dream to him, without him telling them what the dream was.

Their reply was:

“There is not a man on earth who can meet the king’s demand, for no great and powerful king has asked such a thing of any magician or enchanter or Chaldean. The thing that the king asks is difficult, and no one can show it to the king except the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh.”

So the king became angry and ordered that all the wise men should be executed, and this included Daniel and his three friends, who apparently had not been called in on this matter (maybe they were still too young?).

When Daniel found out about the matter, he asked for some time so that he could ask God to reveal the dream to him. What followed was apparently Daniel’s first meeting with the king:

Then Arioch brought in Daniel before the king in haste and said thus to him: “I have found among the exiles from Judah a man who will make known to the king the interpretation.”

The king declared to Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, “Are you able to make known to me the dream that I have seen and its interpretation?”

Daniel answered the king and said, “No wise men, enchanters, magicians, or astrologers can show to the king the mystery that the king has asked, but there is a God in heaven who reveals mysteries, and he has made known to King Nebuchadnezzar what will be in the latter days.

Your dream and the visions of your head as you lay in bed are these: To you, O king, as you lay in bed came thoughts of what would be after this, and he who reveals mysteries made known to you what is to be.

But as for me, this mystery has been revealed to me, not because of any wisdom that I have more than all the living, but in order that the interpretation may be made known to the king, and that you may know the thoughts of your mind.

While Daniel was able to interpret the king’s dream which had been told to no one, he takes no credit for it. He clearly states that it was not a result of his wisdom, but that it had been revealed to him by God.

The king’s response:

Truly, your God is God of gods and Lord of kings, and a revealer of mysteries, for you have been able to reveal this mystery.

Then the king gave Daniel high honors and many great gifts, and made him ruler over the whole province of Babylon and chief prefect over all the wise men of Babylon.

Daniel made a request of the king, and he appointed Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego over the affairs of the province of Babylon. But Daniel remained at the king’s court.

Wisdom that does not come from Human Knowledge

As we see illustrated here, there is a wisdom that does not come from human knowledge. It is not obtained by observation, or by using scientific methods. It is revealed by God, who is the Creator of the universe and stands outside of his creation, and therefore has much more wisdom than can be observed from within the creation.

There was no science or academic book knowledge that could have revealed the king’s dream in such a way, and saved the lives of those whom the king was angry with.

This kind of wisdom is extremely valuable and powerful. It started with Daniel deciding to not defile himself with the culture around him, but to instead keep himself pure spiritually so that God’s Spirit can dwell within him.

Solomon, from whom more than likely Daniel was a descendant, also knew the value and power of this kind of wisdom, and wrote about it extensively in the book of Proverbs, particularly in chapter 8, where wisdom is personified.

If you are a member of the Kingdom of Light, you have access to this same wisdom because of your relationship with Jesus, your king. We become members of the Kingdom of Light through spiritual rebirth. We too can access the value and power of this wisdom:

But we impart a secret and hidden wisdom of God, which God decreed before the ages for our glory. None of the rulers of this age understood this, for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.

But, as it is written, “What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him”– these things God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God.

For who knows a person’s thoughts except the spirit of that person, which is in him? So also no one comprehends the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God.

Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might understand the things freely given us by God. And we impart this in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, interpreting spiritual truths to those who are spiritual.

The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned.(1 Corinthians 2:7-14)

This wisdom, like the wisdom God gave to Daniel in learning the king’s dream, comes directly from God’s Spirit and not from any books – not even the Bible.

Daniel was most certainly well-schooled in the Scriptures of his day, primarily the writings of Moses. But they did not contain the answer to the king’s dream interpretation. That kind of wisdom had to come through direct revelation.

The Bible contains wisdom, but only the Spirit of God can reveal it.

Someone in the kingdom of darkness could memorize the entire Bible, for example, but it will not impart this kind of wisdom because it is only revealed by God’s Spirit.

As a result, there are many bad interpretations of the Bible that have been made over human history that have caused great harm and suffering.

This is not the fault of the Bible, but it is the fault of those who are lacking the true wisdom from God because they did not receive it through a relationship with the Spirit of God.

So if you need direction for your life today, especially during all of this tyrannical COVID nonsense, seek out the wisdom of God! Once he reveals his personal plan for your life, act upon it. You might end up changing the world, just like Daniel did.

I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better.

I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. (Ephesians 1:17-19)

Even if the World is Against You: Do NOT Bow!

Daniel Chapter 3

Even though King Nebuchadnezzar was impressed with Daniel and his ability to interpret dreams, he had not yet put his trust in God, his Creator.

He was too caught up in himself and the power of his position which was given to him by God. He attributed his success to his own power and his own gods, so he made a golden image of himself and decreed that everyone had to bow down and worship it, trying to make himself appear as a god also.

Does this sound familiar to what is happening today? Instead of a golden image, the entire world is being forced to bow down and worship the pharmaceutical industry, by taking their COVID-19 shots.

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were Daniel’s three friends who had not defiled themselves by Babylonian culture, and had become government officials appointed by Daniel who served in the king’s court.

There was no way they were going to bow down and worship Nebuchadnezzar as a deity.

So the other officials and wise men who had been humiliated by Daniel and his power to interpret dreams saw their opportunity to get back at these Jewish boys.

They went to the king “and maliciously accused the Jews.”

Sounds like what Government health “authorities” are doing today by trying to blame the “unvaccinated” for fake COVID outbreaks, even declaring that we are now “domestic terrorists.”

The king was furious, and ordered them to comply or be thrown into a fiery furnace and die.

Going Against the Crowd

When we walk in the Kingdom of Light refusing to be defiled by the culture of the world system which is part of the kingdom of darkness, we go against the crowd exposing their sins and the weakness of their system. Their natural reaction is one of anger, and so persecution is the natural outcome.

Daniel and his three friends had access to wisdom that only the Creator of the Universe can give through his Spirit, and it was superior wisdom to the wisdom of the Chaldeans who were limited to the knowledge available to them within the creation.

So their power base and positions in society were threatened, and they had to resort to persecution to try and strike back.

Things are no different today. The world system we currently live in within western culture is built upon the false knowledge of man who looks only at the creation and develops a Darwinian evolutionary foundation.

The world system in Daniel’s day did acknowledge the spiritual world, but our world system today in large part does not. It only acknowledges the physical, so it rejects anything based on Spiritual knowledge coming from God, and it rejects their Creator.

Their knowledge and wisdom are inferior, and when confronted with the wisdom that is revealed by the Spirit of God, the reaction is the same: persecution. This is always the natural outcome when the two kingdoms collide:

Indeed, all who desire to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, while evil people and impostors will go on from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived. (2 Timothy 3:12-13)

The good news is that the kingdom of darkness, ruled by Satan, is no match for the Kingdom of Light, ruled by Jesus.

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego knew this, and they knew that if they died in the furnace of fire that they had a glorious future awaiting them in God’s kingdom. So it was no problem for them to offer up their lives as a burnt sacrifice and go into the furnace.

The result was that those who threw them into the furnace burned up, but Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were unharmed because God sent an angel to protect them, and they walked out of the furnace to the astonishment of the king.

They said to King Nebuchadnezzar, “O king, live forever! You have issued a decree, O king, that everyone who hears the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipes and all kinds of music must fall down and worship the image of gold, and that whoever does not fall down and worship will be thrown into a blazing furnace.

But there are some Jews whom you have set over the affairs of the province of Babylon–Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego–who pay no attention to you, O king. They neither serve your gods nor worship the image of gold you have set up.”

Furious with rage, Nebuchadnezzar summoned Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego.

So these men were brought before the king, and Nebuchadnezzar said to them, “Is it true, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, that you do not serve my gods or worship the image of gold I have set up? Now when you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipes and all kinds of music, if you are ready to fall down and worship the image I made, very good. But if you do not worship it, you will be thrown immediately into a blazing furnace. Then what god will be able to rescue you from my hand?”

Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego replied to the king, “O Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to defend ourselves before you in this matter. If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God we serve is able to save us from it, and he will rescue us from your hand, O king. But even if he does not, we want you to know, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up.”

Then Nebuchadnezzar was furious with Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, and his attitude toward them changed.

He ordered the furnace heated seven times hotter than usual and commanded some of the strongest soldiers in his army to tie up Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego and throw them into the blazing furnace.

So these men, wearing their robes, trousers, turbans and other clothes, were bound and thrown into the blazing furnace.

The king’s command was so urgent and the furnace so hot that the flames of the fire killed the soldiers who took up Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, and these three men, firmly tied, fell into the blazing furnace.

Then King Nebuchadnezzar leaped to his feet in amazement and asked his advisers, “Weren’t there three men that we tied up and threw into the fire?”

They replied, “Certainly, O king.”

He said, “Look! I see four men walking around in the fire, unbound and unharmed, and the fourth looks like a son of the gods.”

Nebuchadnezzar then approached the opening of the blazing furnace and shouted, “Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, servants of the Most High God, come out! Come here!”

So Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego came out of the fire, and the satraps, prefects, governors and royal advisers crowded around them.

They saw that the fire had not harmed their bodies, nor was a hair of their heads singed; their robes were not scorched, and there was no smell of fire on them. (Daniel 3:9-27)

Are You Ready for the Furnace?

Are you ready for the furnace today? Is the world against you because you have chosen to not defile yourself in the culture around you, especially if you are refusing COVID vaccine mandates? You are not alone!

If the world hates you, you know that it has hated Me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, because of this the world hates you. (words of Jesus in John 15:18-19)

Or is your life so similar to those in the kingdom of darkness that you are no threat to them? Could it be that you have no wisdom or power that is threatening to them, and therefore they have no reason to persecute you?

Separate yourself from the world and offer yourself up to God as his living sacrifice today, so that your Creator can give you wisdom and power to fulfill the purpose for which he created you!

Just be prepared for the natural outcome, which is that the kingdom of darkness will strike back.

Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil.

For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.

Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. (Ephesians 6:10-13)

For the kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power. (1 Cor. 4:20)

Do not give your enemies any leverage: Make them attack your faith and trust in God

Daniel chapter 6

Daniel chapter 6 starts the transition in government from the Babylonians to the Medes and Persians, starting with King Darius.

Daniel had served Nebuchadnezzar, and in Daniel chapter 4 we have the story of King Nebuchadnezzar’s conversion experience, where God humbled him by taking away his sanity and then later restored him back to power.

Nebuchadnezzar’s response:

“Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and extol and honor the King of heaven, for all his works are right and his ways are just; and those who walk in pride he is able to humble.” (Daniel 4:37)

Unfortunately, Nebuchadnezzar’s son did not follow his father’s faith in God, and Daniel apparently did not serve in his court. Chapter 5 gives the story of how the kingdom of Babylon was taken away by King Darius, and foretold by Daniel.

Darius apparently knew about Daniel, as he appointed Daniel as one of his top 3 administrators over the entire kingdom.

As in previous times, Daniel proved to be better than the others he served with, so the king was planning on promoting him above the other two.

This was not well received by the other administrators, probably Medo/Persians who had been brought in during the conquest and were used to having things their own way, so they plotted a way to frame and malign Daniel in an effort to destroy him.

The problem was that Daniel’s character was without fault in terms of corruption, and his job performance was excellent. So they had no choice but to attack him personally on the grounds of his faith, and they tricked the king into signing an executive order “that whoever makes petition to any god or man for thirty days, except to you, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions.”

Now Daniel so distinguished himself among the administrators and the satraps by his exceptional qualities that the king planned to set him over the whole kingdom.

At this, the administrators and the satraps tried to find grounds for charges against Daniel in his conduct of government affairs, but they were unable to do so.

They could find no corruption in him, because he was trustworthy and neither corrupt nor negligent.

Finally these men said, “We will never find any basis for charges against this man Daniel unless it has something to do with the law of his God.”

So the administrators and the satraps went as a group to the king and said: “O King Darius, live forever! The royal administrators, prefects, satraps, advisers and governors have all agreed that the king should issue an edict and enforce the decree that anyone who prays to any god or man during the next thirty days, except to you, O king, shall be thrown into the lions’ den. Now, O king, issue the decree and put it in writing so that it cannot be altered–in accordance with the laws of the Medes and Persians, which cannot be repealed.”

So King Darius put the decree in writing. (Daniel 6:3-9)

Daniel, of course, did not obey this order, and continued to pray to God, his Creator.

When the king finds out that the executive order he just signed, which is irrevocable by law, was a plot to destroy Daniel, he becomes very agitated and tries to do everything he can to save Daniel.

In the end, he had to obey his own law which he foolishly made. There is evidence that the fame of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego and what happened to them in the furnace under King Nebuchadnezzar might have been known to King Darius, because as he has Daniel thrown into the lion’s den he says to Daniel, “May your God, whom you serve continually, deliver you!”

As the story turns out, God does save Daniel by sending an angel, just as he did with Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.

So the king gave the order, and they brought Daniel and threw him into the lions’ den. The king said to Daniel, “May your God, whom you serve continually, rescue you!”

A stone was brought and placed over the mouth of the den, and the king sealed it with his own signet ring and with the rings of his nobles, so that Daniel’s situation might not be changed.

Then the king returned to his palace and spent the night without eating and without any entertainment being brought to him. And he could not sleep.

At the first light of dawn, the king got up and hurried to the lions’ den.

When he came near the den, he called to Daniel in an anguished voice, “Daniel, servant of the living God, has your God, whom you serve continually, been able to rescue you from the lions?”

Daniel answered, “O king, live forever! My God sent his angel, and he shut the mouths of the lions. They have not hurt me, because I was found innocent in his sight. Nor have I ever done any wrong before you, O king.”

The king was overjoyed and gave orders to lift Daniel out of the den. And when Daniel was lifted from the den, no wound was found on him, because he had trusted in his God.

At the king’s command, the men who had falsely accused Daniel were brought in and thrown into the lions’ den, along with their wives and children. And before they reached the floor of the den, the lions overpowered them and crushed all their bones. (Daniel 6:16-24)

This story highlights some very important lessons.

Although Daniel was in a position of high rank and high power, he apparently never abused his power or position for personal gain. There was no corruption found in him by his enemies. They had no leverage over him at all.

That is an incredible statement if you think about it. Someone of Daniel’s position would have every opportunity to just “cheat” once in a while, or do something for a friend, a favor, or something that would not otherwise be possible.

He had ample opportunities to take advantage of his position and the king’s resources for personal gain and comfort. The temptations to “cut corners” and indulge just a bit would be incredible, and yet his enemies could find no corruption whatsoever with Daniel!

Daniel was also not “negligent” in his duties. He didn’t slack off or take it easy while on the job, but performed his job with the highest standard possible, giving his accusers nothing to complain about.

He apparently maintained very high standards of excellence, and never compromised or let people off the hook for not performing their jobs.

Daniel was trustworthy and reliable. He was there when people depended upon him. He showed up for work every day. He did not fail to perform his duties and pass them off to others.

Even though he was faithful in his worship of God his Creator, it apparently never interfered with his duties in the government.

If it had, his accusers would have noted it. But instead, a special law had to be created to make worship itself illegal.

Does this sound similar to what is happening today?

So how about you? Do you follow these principles in your own employment situation, or in other relationships where you have to serve someone in a position of authority above you?

If someone decided to attack you and try to find reasons to accuse you before your employer, would they be able to dig up any dirt on you? Do you use the fact that you serve someone ungodly as a reason to not serve them wholeheartedly?

Daniel followed these principles and the result was that he led kings and rulers to a faith in God, and ended up changing the world.

Follow these principles in your own life, and God might use you in a mighty way also.

Conclusion: Time to Learn How to Live the Supernatural Life

At the time I am publishing this article, on August 28, 2021, we are facing a crossroads in human history, where the next few weeks could very well determine just what kind of life we are going to be living under for however much longer this earth is going to last.

The Luciferian Globalists, under the rule of Satan, are making their push to implement Global Medical tyranny and turn every country they can into a medical police state. They want to vaccinate every single person on the planet, and they are pulling out all the stops to try and instill fear into the people to force them to comply.

One of the things standing in their way is YOU! If enough people decide to resist and not obey, their plans can be thwarted.

But if that doesn’t happen, never discount the power of a single person empowered by the supernatural power of God.

Following the principles in this article, by refusing to be defiled by the culture, which today is a medical police state, refusing to obey their directives or laws, and serving God by serving those around us in our workplace or families with honesty and integrity, so that Satan has no leverage over us, then we should seek out and expect God to do powerful things through us.

He wants to! He wants to kick Satan’s ass, I guarantee it, and he is going to do it one way or another, with or without your cooperation.

The Great Reset is coming, and the Messianic New World order will be established. Nothing can stop it.

So it is up to you to decide which version of the New World Order you want to be part of: the one that is going to be destroyed, or the one that will last?
