The Prophet Daniel

Qualities of prayers that get results

Fed by the Word of God

“Prescriptions” and “Descriptions”

Daniel understood:

  • Things are not going to stay the way they are right now
  • It’s about time that things begin to change right now!

 

Filled with faith that God has not changed His mind

The impetus for prayer comes when you’re not seeing what He is saying!

Don’t conclude that God has changed His mind!

 

Fueled by the conviction that I MUST become part of the solution

Even if I wasn’t part of the problem

Even if I won’t get to see the future blessing

 

Founded on the confession that God has acted consistently with His righteousness.

Don’t blame:

  • Unbelievers
  • Other believers
  • God!

 

Finished in the confidence that God will now act consistently with His mercy.

“We do not make requests of you because we are righteous, but because of your great mercy.”  (Dan 9:18)
