LOOK:

When God created the universe, He knew exactly what human history was going to look like because He’s sovereignly allowed it. He knows who the rulers/leaders are at any given moment and time. He knows who honors Him and who doesn’t. Those who don’t honor God fall. He’s already told us that we are victorious in Jesus, and now our job is to continue to be a faithful follower trusting His leadership.

LOOK:

Spiritual warfare is alive and well, and it’s one of the reasons Paul goes to great length to tell us how to protect ourselves with the “full spiritual armor of God!” We have angels on earth and in the heavenly realms who are for us and who take on battles on our behalf. We are created for a purpose, so remember that Satan has no ability to thwart God’s future for each of us. Keep the faith and continue to trust Him fully for what He has in store ahead.

LOOK:

God revealed the future of His chosen people in a vision to Daniel that is affirmed by Jesus in Matt 24:15. There will be an Antichrist who will appear during the Tribulation that will last seven years. All believers will be raptured by Christ so that we are protected from living during those seven years.

Do you have a saving relationship with Jesus? That’s what will matter if the Rapture occurs in our lifetime. In the meantime, we are called to share the good news of Jesus Christ with as many people as possible.

LOOK:

We learned the ELEMENTS of prayer: Confession (individual and corporate), Praise, Quoting Scripture, Petition, Humility, and Glorifying God. But we also learned that when we submit to the Lord with humility and confess our sins, fast, and come with genuine repentance, He is more than willing to answer. Here are some reflection questions to ponder as you leave today:

Q: When would you “go all out” with a prayer like Daniel’s, preceded by fasting and repentance?

Q: Do we follow Daniel’s lead if we only yelled at your kids? Wouldn’t that be over the top?

Q: Do you go to prayer with a high level of expectancy that He will answer you?

Ask the Lord to show you what your next step is to grow in your prayer life. He will answer!!

LOOK:

I suggested at the beginning of class that all of us can make a significant impact in our world today by doing the Lord’s business with the power He’s distributed to us. Given that we live in a world with rulers in other countries who are power-hungry and want to benefit themselves at the expense of others, what are ways that we can be intentional and use the authority Jesus has given us and the POWER He has given to “go about the King’s business” just like Daniel?

Ideas:

  • Prayer
  • Share the gospel to give people hope
  • Serve others
  • Show compassion to those who are hurting
