Dare To Be A Daniel

I am very excited about a new series that we have started from the book of Daniel. Daniel was a man who was stripped away from his home city of Jerusalem; taken to a land of wickedness and imorality. Like many others who was over powered by the Babylonian kingdom, Daniel was held a captive to a culture that tried to make him speak, write, eat and look like society. But the Bible says in Daniel 1:8 that he proposed in his heart that he would not defile his body and was challenged to be differant.

I love this book because of the relavence that it has for God’s people today. It deals with a challenge to become differant by showing Jesus Christ to a lost world. Many of you are captive to a modern day Babylon. Captive to imorality, temptations, and addictions. And for this reason you are captive to a black and white world. But do you dare to take the challenge to become like Daniel? Do you dare to not defile your body even when culture promotes it? Will you dare to live a life for God’s honor and glory by being captive to the world? But instead of living a life of black and white, you chose to live you life in color! Thats what a life saved by the presious blood of Jesus is really all about. 

I want to encourage you to be a part of our series by taking the challenge! And invite those around you who are living a life in black and white by share with them about the Saving blood of Jesus, who can and will set them free!  I can’t wait to see you this Sunday!

My Spiritual Journal

Isaiah 12:2

Scriptural Insight:

Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the LORD JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; he also is become my salvation.

Application:

For many years now, since accepting Jesus as my personal Savior, my life has been forever changed. I’m not sure how I survived without Jesus. You see there have been many trials that have come into my life over the years. Some of those trials left weights of guilt, disappiontments and depression. Some burdens left me wondering, “How am I going to survive this week?” Then a life transformation happened.  Jesus died in my place to keep me alive and I accepted Him as my Savior. He removed those weights of sin in my life so that I might have life and a real life relationship with Him. By rescuing me from my troubled waters of life – He has now become my best friend, Hero and Strong Tower! When Im weak He gives me strength and I am not afraid of life anymore. For this reason I am able to shout and sing to the wonderful name of Jesus. And I will never be ashamed of my Salvation!

Prayer:

Lord, strengthen me today. As I serve you there will be bumps along my path therefore deliver me from my temptations. Give me the strength to trust in you when I don’t understand. Let Jesus be glorified in my life today and allow me to share Jesus with someone who needs to be rescued today; as I testify of the new song Jesus has placed in my heart. I love you, thank you, forgive me and I ask this in the sweet name of Jesus…. Amen.
