Daniel 11 - God Knows The Future
Daniel’s Vision
He sees Michael the general of the armies of Heaven confirm and strengthen king Darius the Mede. Angels help those whom God has chosen to affect history in a positive way.
Darius had a part to play in Israel’s destiny and in the spiritual war that was taking place God sent the most powerful general and His army to defeat the forces of evil.
Daniel 11
Angels have a role to play in the unraveling of history. The spirit world has much to do with what happens in the material world. The spirit world is more powerful than the physical world. The spirit world dictates what happens in the physical world. The supernatural governs the natural. The invisible world is what propels the visible world.
Daniel - Talks about the war that is going on in the spirit world.
Ephesians 6 (NCV) Wear the Full Armor of God
10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in His great power.11 Put on the full armor of God so that you can fight against the devil's evil tricks.12 Our fight is not against people on earth but against the rulers and authorities and the powers of this world's darkness, against the spiritual powers of evil in the heavenly world.
What We Can Learn From History:
When the Persians took control of the region where the Jews were in exile demonic forces started a campaign to exterminate the Jews so they tried to have Daniel killed by having him cast into the Lions’ den.
Believers Are To Take dominion in the spirit to effect what happens in our community. Let’s stop allowing evil to have its way in this city. Let’s serve an eviction notice to the devil in this area and take our place of authority so that revival can sweep through the place.
