Being in the Lion's Den

Being in the Lion’s Den

SO THE KING GAVE THE ORDER, AND THEY BROUGHT
DANIEL AND THREW HIM INTO THE LION'S *DEN.
( DANIEL 6:16 *NIV )

*The Aramaic word for "DEN" means pit, thus implying that
it was a hole in the ground.


There are times that we may feel just like poor Daniel
did when he was thrown into the lion's den. However,
just like Daniel our faith will come to our rescue as well!

After all, HE WHO DWELLS IN THE SHELTER OF
THE MOST HIGH WILL REST IN THE SHADOW OF THE
ALMIGHTY. I WILL SAY OF THE LORD, HE IS MY
REFUGE AND MY FORTRESS, MY GOD IN WHOM I
TRUST. ( PSALM 91:1-2 ) Further God has said: "FEAR
NOT, FOR I HAVE REDEEMED YOU; I HAVE CALLED
YOU BY NAME; YOU ARE MINE." ( ISAIAH 43:1-2 )

God has also stated: "DO NOT FEAR, FOR I AM WITH
YOU; DO NOT BE DISMAYED, FOR I AM YOUR GOD. I
WILL STRENGTHEN YOU AND HELP YOU; I WILL
UPHOLD YOU WITH MY RIGHTEOUS RIGHT HAND."
( ISAIAH 41:10 ) Therefore, "CALL UPON ME IN THE
DAY OF TROUBLE; I WILL DELIVER YOU, AND YOU
WILL HONOR ME." ( PSALM 50:15 )

So when you feel like Daniel always: TRUST IN
THE LORD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND LEAN NOT
ON YOUR OWN UNDERSTANDING; IN ALL YOUR WAYS
ACKNOWLEDGE HIM, AND HE WILL MAKE YOUR
PATHS STRAIGHT. ( PROVERBS 3:5-6 )

Now have a wonderful day Nena, knowing that you
are in good company with God by your side! Amen.

All My Love & Prayers,
Pastor Allen

I have had to hold on tightly to the above scriptures many times while having to face the ugliness of our enemy who comes in many disguises.

So far the hardest one has been the Jezebels who come from within the congregation with a smile on one side and a knife behind the back that is still dripping from the last kill.

Might sound very harsh but until you have to face them be careful. Even the mightiest of the prophets ran from a Jezebel.

I still have scars from the last meetings of Jezebels, for which my brothers and sisters in Christ are helping me through.

All this to say PTL for His word that is Yes and Amen through those times.

I have chosen thee in the furnace of affliction Isaiah 48:10

Fear not Christian; Jesus is with thee. In all thy fiery trials, His presence is both thy comfort and safety. He will never leave one whom he has chosen for his own. 'Fear not, for I am with thee,' is His sure word of promise to His chosen ones in the furnace of affliction'
C H Spurgeon

I have had to hold on tightly to the above scriptures many times while having to face the ugliness of our enemy who comes in many disguises.

Indeed Mike how sure the Lord's promises are to deliver and to keep His children from the snares of satan and the world...

......and how much these enemies and these lost souls need our love and prayers..

But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you
Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you......
For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them.....
But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for He is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.
Luke 6:27,28,32,35

Blessings to you
