Episode Description:
Join Gary & Jane in this latest episode of Hearing God as they share how Daniel in the Bible heard God, even when threatened with death. Thus, a more apt title may be: "What to do in a hard or seemingly impossible situation". Daniel sought God and received wisdom and knowledge that he had no way of knowing other than from God. Gary & Jane unpack how God used Daniel to speak the truth to the King, even when it seemed impossible.
Episode Notes:
First Principle: We are called to live counter-cultural.
· People should be able to discern we are different.
· Am I prepared to give up my life rather than serve/worship any god except Almighty God?
· Can others find me to be trustworthy and neither corrupt nor negligent?
· God can give us wisdom, knowledge and understanding.
Second Principle: Anyone can hear God. You don't need a relationship with God to hear Him.
· God desires a relationship with everyone.
· God can and will do whatever it takes to get our attention.
Third Principle: How to deliver hard words.
· Do we get swayed by money, power, position and people?
· As soon as we pray, our prayers are actioned.
· Just because we can't see anything physically doesn't mean it isn't happening in the spiritual.
· When delivering hard words, be respectful, honest, and give a way forward.
Prophetic activation:
Turn your heart and thoughts to Father God and ask Him –
· "God, is there an aspect of my life I need to change or adjust?"
· "God, what do I need to do differently with my life so that I'm living counter-culturally in this world?"
"God, what would You have me do differently?"
