7-Day Practice: Living a Daniel-style Prayer Life (Book of Daniel Chapter 6)

Daniel 6:10 When Daniel knew that the document had been signed, he went to his house and, three times a day, knelt down before his God in prayer and thanksgiving, for this was his custom.

Daniel 6:5 Then the men said to him, “We will find no grounds to accuse this Daniel except in matters relating to the law of his God.

Daniel 6:7 Then the chief ministers, commanders, governors, counselors, and governors of the kingdom consulted among themselves, and they decided that the king should establish a decree, a strict prohibition, that for thirty days anyone who asks anything from any god or man other than the king, shall be thrown into the lions’ den.

7-Day Practice: From Belshazzar to Nebuchadnezzar

 

7-Day Practice: From Belshazzar to Nebuchadnezzar

Daniel 5:22 Belshazzar, you are his son, yet though you know all this, your heart is not humbled;

Dan 5:23 but you exalt yourself before the Lord of heaven, having the vessels of his temple brought before you, and you drink from them with your officials, your queens and your concubines; and you praise the God who is without sight and hearing, without knowledge, made of gold, silver, bronze, iron, wood and stone; but you give no honor to the God whose breath you hold and who rules over all your ways.

Dan 4:33 And then these words were fulfilled in Nebuchadnezzar; he was driven out from mankind, and ate grass like an ox, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, until his hair grew long like the feathers of an eagle, and his nails grew long like the claws of a bird.

Dan 4:34 After those days I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifted up my eyes to heaven, and my reason returned to me; and I praised the Most High, and honored and praised the Living One, for his authority is an eternal authority, and his kingdom endures to all generations.
