About Rule and Reign Like Daniel Series

Daniel believed in God as Ruler, so he brought Heaven’s Rule into his earthly government and heathen captors. Do you rule and reign like Daniel did?

Devotional

Daniel’s process of surrender is hidden from us in the scriptures. You must find it in your own process.

In spite of – no, THROUGH – his suffering, Daniel was reconciled to God as GOD, giving to the Most High his absolute yes and his unequivocal no.

An Absolute Yes Comes With NO

Daniel’s YES to God included anything—prominence or obscurity, life or death. His NO to himself allowed him nothing: no objection, no resistance, no offense.

A yes to God is not a true yes unless it is also a NO to self.

And blessed (happy, fortunate and to be envied) is he who takes no offense at Me and finds no cause for stumbling in or through Me, and is not hindered from seeing the Truth.
Matthew 11:6 AMPC
