Daniel 7:1-14 Daniel's dream ...we hear about 4 beasts. (v.1-8).   1 "In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon, Daniel saw a dream and visions of his head as he lay in his bed. Then he wrote down the dream and told the sum of the matter. 2 Daniel declared, "I saw in my vision by night, and behold, the four winds of heaven were stirring up the great sea. 3 And four great beasts came up out of the sea, different from one another. 4 The first was like a lion and had eagles' wings. Then as I looked its wings were plucked off, and it was lifted up from the ground and made to stand on two feet like a man, and the mind of a man was given to it. 5 And behold, another beast, a second one, like a bear. It was raised up on one side. It had three ribs in its mouth between its teeth; and it was told, 'Arise, devour much flesh.' 6 After this I looked, and behold, another, like a leopard, with four wings of a bird on its back. And the beast had four heads, and dominion was given to it. 7 After this I saw in the night visions, and behold, a fourth beast, terrifying and dreadful and exceedingly strong. It had great iron teeth; it devoured and broke in pieces and stamped what was left with its feet. It was different from all the beasts that were before it, and it had ten horns. 8 I considered the horns, and behold, there came up among them another horn, a little one, before which three of the first horns were plucked up by the roots. And behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking great things." (These animals represent 4 empires... The last one  has an eleventh horn appear,...as the antichrist.....just before the stone crushes it. (Jesus Christ the Messiah... Which also was in Chapter 2 in King Nebuchadnezzar's dream... The stone smashed the image. ) Then in v9: The Ancient of Days (God the Father) Sovereign Judge of the universe. Listen:  9 "As I looked, thrones were placed, and the Ancient of Days took his seat; his clothing was white as snow, and the hair of his head like pure wool; his throne was fiery flames; its wheels were burning fire.  10 A stream of fire issued and came out from before him; a thousand thousands served him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him; the court sat in judgment, and the books were opened.  11 "I looked then because of the sound of the great words that the horn was speaking. And as I looked, the beast was killed, and its body destroyed and given over to be burned with fire. 12 As for the rest of the beasts, their dominion was taken away, but their lives were prolonged for a season and a time. 13 "I saw in the night visions, and behold, with the clouds of heaven there came one like a son of man, and he came to the Ancient of Days and was presented before him.  14 And to him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve him; his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom one that shall not be destroyed. " Isaiah 57:15 "For thus says the One who is high and lifted up, who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: "I dwell in the high and holy place, and also with him who is of a contrite and lowly spirit, to revive the spirit of the lowly, and to revive the heart of the contrite. " (Who is the Judge? t) Matthew 24:29-31: (He , the Holy God of Israel sends His Son Jesus Christ the Messiah.): 29 "Immediately after the tribulation of those days the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light, and the stars will fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 30 Then will appear in heaven the sign of the Son of Man, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. 31 And he will send out his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other." (God sent His Son Jesus ...that whosever believes in Him shall have eternal life. Go in a quiet space... Speak to Jesus. He never slumbers... He never forsakes. He is calling for you because you are HIS. You are called by Him who made you. Hold your hands to heaven... He loved you first. Start like this Jesus I love You.....I love You so much...Holy Spirit come and speak to my heart... Tell me what I can lay down at the throne ... Speak for I am listening... Wait and He will tell you what you know not.  Forgive those who crushed you and forgive  us of all our sin. Surrender your life for eternal life. He will give You special gifts and you will be a coheir with Christ! t) Acts 4:31 "And when they had prayed, the place in which they were gathered together was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and continued to speak the word of God with boldness." Praying now for whoever reads His words.

Daniel 3:14- 18  "Nebuchadnezzar answered and said to them, "Is it true, O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, that you do not serve my gods or worship the golden image that I have set up?  15 Now if you are ready when you hear the sound of the horn, pipe, lyre, trigon, harp, bagpipe, and every kind of music, to fall down and worship the image that I have made, well and good. But if you do not worship, you shall immediately be cast into a burning fiery furnace. And who is the god who will deliver you out of my hands?" 16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego answered and said to the king, "O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter. 17 If this be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of your hand, O king. 18 But if not, be it known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the golden image that you have set up." (Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego were pressured to deny God, but they chose to be faithful to him no matter what happened! They Trusted God to deliver them, but they were determined to be faithful regardless of the consequences. If God always rescued Christians.. We wouldn't need faith. Our eternal reward is worth any suffering we may have to endure first." Life app.) Daniel 19-25: 19 "Then Nebuchadnezzar was filled with fury, and the expression of his face was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. He ordered the furnace heated seven times more than it was usually heated. 20 And he ordered some of the mighty men of his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, and to cast them into the burning fiery furnace. 21 Then these men were bound in their cloaks, their tunics, their hats, and their other garments, and they were thrown into the burning fiery furnace. 22 Because the king's order was urgent and the furnace overheated, the flame of the fire killed those men who took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. 23 And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell bound into the burning fiery furnace." 24 "Then King Nebuchadnezzar was astonished and rose up in haste. He declared to his counselors, "Did we not cast three men bound into the fire?" They answered and said to the king, "True, O king." 25 He answered and said, "But I see four men unbound, walking in the midst of the fire, and they are not hurt; and the appearance of the fourth is like a son of the gods." (Trust God no matter what! A surrendered life. Faith comes from hearing and hearing from the Word of God. The fourth person was supernatural ...an angel sent by God or a preincarnate Jesus Christ! In our great trials, God sends us help. Call out His powerful name Jesus and He will come! Reminds me of the song: " I called, ..You answered,  and You came to my rescue!.., And I want to be where You are!!! Amen!" TR) Nebuchadnezzar Praises God: Daniel 3:26-30 26 "Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the door of the burning fiery furnace; he declared, "Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, servants of the Most High God, come out, and come here!" Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego came out from the fire. 27 And the satraps, the prefects, the governors, and the king's counselors gathered together and saw that the fire had not had any power over the bodies of those men. The hair of their heads was not singed, their cloaks were not harmed, and no smell of fire had come upon them. 28 Nebuchadnezzar answered and said, "Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who has sent his angel and delivered his servants, who trusted in him, and set aside the king's command, and yielded up their bodies rather than serve and worship any god except their own God. 29 Therefore I make a decree: Any people, nation, or language that speaks anything against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego shall be torn limb from limb, and their houses laid in ruins, for there is no other god who is able to rescue in this way." 30 Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the province of Babylon.!" ( Servants of the Most High God.... Yes that was these three and you.. and  I. A great victory of faith for these 3, and He will be with us too. Faithful, true, and trust to the very end. Ask and He will hear every Word.. Even yet before it comes out of your mouth.  TR) Ephesians 16:21.  16 ...that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith-that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, 19 and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. 20 Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, 21 to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen." (God was glorified, they were rewarded by being saved and promoted. God's power transcends anything, yes anything we could ever imagine!  The same power that delivered these three men and  raised Jesus from the dead, ... Is there for you and I. Today let us come to the throne of grace, power, deliverance, salvation, and the supernatural... We place all our concerns at the feet of the Most High God, Jesus Christ, and Holy Spirit. I believe in You God. I know You love me! I believe God that You loved me so much You sent Your only Son Jesus to die for me. The nails penetrated the flesh, hung on that cross, was buried, dead for 4,320 minutes.... Rose from the dead, witnessed to over 500 people... Ascended into heaven...hears your prayer. Help me Jesus! Save me Most High God! Come into my Heart Jesus! Come into my body Holy Spirit! Change me! Fill me! Control me! Control my mind! Control my emotions and will! Allow me to forgive others. Use me! Send me! Teach me Your ways! Remove all other gods before me! Exodus 20:3. "You shall not have any other God before me.!" Give every cell in me, to purity, holiness, godliness, bowed before You Jesus! Cover me with Your Holy Blood Jesus! Anoint my head with oil! Give me gifts of the Holy Spirit! Thank you Jesus! Amen! Amen! Amen!"  Holy Holy Holy is the Lord God Almighty.  In Him Jesus we have redemption through His blood and the forgiveness of our trespasses according to the riches of His grace!  By grace we are saved through faith, confess with Your mouth Jesus is Lord! He is preparing a mansion in heaven for you.. No tears, no pain, no cancer,  no RA, no lupus, no hurt, no financial crisis! No sin!!!!! Thank you Jesus! "Call to ME, (Jesus) and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know." Jeremiah 33:3.  (Speak this out loud) Jesus Christ the Messiah I call to You about....................! Would you bow before Him and pray right now? Allow Him to be Master over your life? Take 3,5,30 minutes.. Set a timer on your cell. Don't speak... Remove your thoughts! Ask God, His Son Jesus, and Holy Spirit to speak: listen:

Lamb of God!

. Like our devotional this week, Jesus you are
the Lamb of God who takes our sin away. You call all of us, like you
called John, then Andrew, then Philip, and Nathanael (Thought to be
called also Bartholomew)!

Meeting Jesus is life changing. John and Andrew were never the same.
John the Baptist pointed them to the Lamb of God, and they
followed.John knew Jesus was the promised Messiah. ( Isaiah 53:5-11)
Andrew later brought his brother Peter as the third disciple. Andrew
is most prominently seen introducing others to Jesus (see John 6:8-9;
12:22). Andrew tells Peter they have found the Messiah (which means
Christ). Whom are you pointing to Christ? Whom are you following?
Jesus' sacrifice was sufficient to atone for all mankind. (1 John 2:2).

When introduced to Christ, people react in different ways. Some, like
Philip, are immediately sold-out. Others, like Nathanael, are
skeptical and cautious. What a great example we see in Andrew and
Philip, men who did not need the spotlight but quietly brought others
to Christ!

Pray that the Lord "Lamb of God", will give you the strength to fight the storms of life and overcome temptation! To be a bold witness of Christ Jesus!
Love,

Psalm 23

"The Lord is my Shepherd!" Psalm 23
I shall not want.

He maketh me to lie down in green pastures;

he leadeth me beside the still waters.

He restoreth my soul; he leadeth me in he paths

of righteousness for his name's sake.

Yea, though I walk through the

valley of the shadow of death,

I will fear no evil: for thou art with me;

thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

Thou preparest a table before me

in the presence of mine enemies;

thou anointest my head with oil;

my cup runneth over.

Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me

all the days of my life;

and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever."

and I will dwell in the hoouse of the Lord for ever.

Lamb of God!

Praying you up right now. Lord bless all of them:

...that they glorify You. Let them play and sing supernatural. You
are who we praise Jesus. Like our devotional this week, Jesus you are
the Lamb of God who takes our sin away. You call all of us, like you
called John, then Andrew, then Philip, and Nathaniel (Thought to be
called also Bartholomew)! Jesus has supernatural powers!

"Lord bless all of you: that you would
be like Andrew (in the Bible)
who brought many, many to Christ! Let them know that we can do all
things through Christ who strengthens us. We praise you Lord the Lamb
of God who takes our sin away. Please save Your people today. When we
see the color red we will remember Your blood that cleansed all of our
sin away. Lord again today start in all our lives by cleansing us.
Fill us with Your Holy Spirit to control our minds, emotions, and
will. Let us see with Your eyes, hear with Your ears, and have
compassion and empathy towards others like Your precious heart Jesus!
In the power of Your name and will. Amen."

In the Lamb of God,
Mom
