Those Who Overstepped Answers

Daniel 1:8-9 / "But Daniel resolved not to defile himself with the royal food and wine, and he asked the chief official for permission not to defile himself this way. Now God had caused the official to show favor and sympathy to Daniel,"

By praying like Daniel who already knew that being taken as a captive was for world missions, God will let you have realization in advance as well. To "resolve" means to accurately see and hold onto God's will. Also, you must clearly know what aren't answers. Similarly, Daniel knew that becoming the governor wasn't the answer. The true answers were God being with him; having the "9 Blessings of the Throne" set; knowing what the church and sanctuary were; and giving answers to four kings. Like so, Daniel had three reasons for overcoming answers.

1. Daniel Who Knew the Reason for the Past
If you leave behind your past as a scar, you'll have failure. Therefore, you must discover the tremendous message within the past. Daniel knew that the sanctuary was destroyed and that the king had many gifted individuals taken as captives because the Israelites had lost hold of spiritual power. That was why Daniel held onto the covenant of standing as a witness who showed evidences. Likewise, if you look at your past and make it into a steppingstone to stand as a witness, you'll undoubtedly receive answers.

2. Daniel Who Knew the Reason for Today
Daniel knew that God's people were taken as captives to Babylon because they had lost hold of the Gospel.(Rightfulness) Moreover, he also knew that he had an inevitable reason for standing at that place.(Inevitability) Furthermore, he confessed that he would show evidences there. That was absoluteness.(Absoluteness) The place where you reside is a field for missions, and standing as the Spiritual Summit there is the reason for today. If you solely hold onto this covenant, answers will follow.

3. Daniel Who Knew the Reason for Tomorrow
You cannot avoid the past, today, and the future. You've been commissioned in this region as a layperson missionary, field missionary, and missionary who heals others. These are the reasons for tomorrow.

Those who know the Gospel know prayer as well. You must begin and restore Daniel's prayer that moves the throne.(Daniel 6:10 and 10:10-20) Prayer is "re-creation" that enjoys the things of the Triune God who is the Creator. In times of trouble, pray so that you can find the most important aspect. Remnants mustn't try to receive help from others; instead, they must accurately hold onto God's Word. At that time, God will even work through unbelievers.

Dear God, may it be a week of seeing what spiritual matters are. Just as the kings who were moved, let the works of people being saved arise through Your answers. Just as disasters were prevented, may the works of blocking darkness through my prayers take place. In Jesus Christ's name, I pray. Amen.
