Miracle Rise - The Powerful Prayer of the Prophet Daniel

Throughout history, prayer plays a significant role in the different religions, as well as a fundamental pillar in the spiritual growth of every human being.

It is in the awkward moments of our lives, or during a crisis,or diseases, etc., it is when without being the most believer or religious, we try to pray, put our hands together to raise a prayer, regardless of what creed or religion you profess.

Sometimes we have seen with sadness that our prayers are not heard, but why is this possible? What can I be doing wrong? It's continuous questioning.

There are several factors in not finding the desired result through prayer, one of which is the lack of strength and constancy. Next, we'll look at one of the most iconic examples that can exist in the Bible, and that can motivate your life.

Throughout history, prayer plays a significant role in the different religions.

In different parts of the story, we find different symbolic characters in the faith, and they have been examples. Some of them, to this day, are entirely in force.

Let's review one of the characters today and how their strength in prayer can be applied today and help you a fuller life with peace and prosperity.

Let's talk about the prophet Daniel, he is one of the most participating prophets in the Bible, by his strength in moments of prayer.

The life of the prophet Daniel has left a great legacy and an unprecedented mark on the art of prayer and devotion to God. It was for these reasons that he was chased and thrown into the lion's den. At the same time, these things make Daniel, a man just before God and worthy to receive some extraordinary revelations about the future Israel and the destiny of all humanity.

But who was the prophet Daniel, and why to this day, his form or so powerful?

The prophet Daniel lived part of his youth in Jerusalem before Nebuchadnezzar invaded the city and pushed Judah into exile. Some believe Daniel was about 17 years old when this happened. He was a member of the royal family and the tribe of Judah (1.1,6).

He was one of the great characters of the Bible. His life was filled with pain: because of the slavery, he lived.

The biblical account of Daniel the prophet began when he and other young friends such as Shadrach, Misael, and Azariah, all members of the tribe of Judah were taken captive by King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon (Daniel 1:1-4) in 604 BC, approximately. The captivity of Judah's people lasted 70 years, as God had warned through the prophet Jeremiah (Jeremiah 25:11).

Being a strange land for Daniel, he fought to remain faithful to God amid a pagan culture.

Daniel's perseverance and faithfulness in his faith provoked many persecutions, as we will see, but they also caused God to take care of him in every tribulation he went through.

Like many of the prophets, Daniel was called and instructed to serve as minister of kings and emperors, in the case of prophets Daniel, who chosen as one of the young Jews to be brought to Babylon and trained to serve in the king's court. Because of his righteousness and sensitivity, he was favored by God with the Spirit.

The Lord blessed him with the gift of interpreting dreams and visions, a gift that soon made him the object of great attention on the part of the emperor,

Then he won each other's favor by interpreting dreams and wonders when no one else in the nation could give that kind of help to kings. Thanks to this special gift, the kings placed Daniel in high office.

He was raised to posts that allowed him to spend his life in the kings of the nation's service and became the Lord's minister before them. He was promoted to a chief or chief of the sages, rector of what amounted to a national university, governor of all captive Jews, and, as governor of the province of Babylon, one of the chief rulers in the Babylonian and Persian empires.

Although his life was in danger on some occasions because of the jealousness of evil men, he lived so well that the Lord continually protected him.

Not only did he gain the full confidence of a single king, but he also got the governments besides Nebuchadnezzar Baltasar, but also Dario and Cyrus, so when their enemies conspired against him, the kings came out to his aid.

In the first year of King Darius' reign, Daniel understood, or simply applied Jeremiah's prophecy in which he predicted 70-year bondage for his people (Daniel 9:1-2).

The book of Daniel shows that he was a faithful man of God. When King Nebuchadnezzar threatened to destroy all wise men if they did not tell him what his dream had been and what the interpretation was, Daniel and his friends asked for a moment to go before God in prayer, asking him to reveal the information to them (Daniel 2:18). When God answered his prayer, Daniel thanked him and praised him for granting him his request (vv. 20-23).

Later, Daniel again demonstrated his faith by praying to God, though he knew that in doing so, he was putting his life in danger (Daniel 6:10).

Daniel's fidelity to God caused him to end up inside the lion's well, and his detractors were sure that he would be devoured. But God sent an angel, who "closed the mouths of the lions" (Daniel 6:22), and Daniel was miraculously protected.

The record of Daniel's righteous conduct is not limited to the book of his authorship. Still, God inspired the prophet Ezekiel to say, "If these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in the midst of it, they would only deliver their own lives by their righteousness, says the Eternal Lord" (Ezekiel 14:14, emphasis added).

This is one of the strengths taught by prophet Daniel; I never doubt God, nor in the most challenging times.

DANIEL'S PRAYER

Daniel's life is the culmination of experience in prayer. In this chapter, he shows the pattern of his life in worship and familiarizes us with the conditions and virtues of prayer.

Here are some of the essential elements of Daniel's prayer recipe.

The first thing to note is that the prophet had "measured planning." Prayer for him was not a random theme, as shown in verse 3 of the first chapter. "I turned my face to God, the Lord, seeking him in prayer and praying, in fasting, rough clothes, and ashes."

Prayer for the prophet Daniel was not a repetition of empty words or a set of beautiful phrases with florid grammar and eloquent expressions.

The Lord Jesus said in Matthew 6:7, "7 as you pray do not use vain repetitions, like the Gentiles, (i.e., the heathen) who think that by their swearing, they will be heard." This way of addressing God is not a sincere prayer.

Secondly, Daniel's prayer was like a painful act, obviously agonizing because of the circumstances. It was a period of fasting, dressing in mourning, and sitting on ashes. Daniel did it not as an outward gesture but to reveal the sincerity of his heart. Today, one does not see many prayer meetings with this inner and spiritual attitude.

Third, Daniel addressed the Lord in a clear, frank, and straightforward manner and sincerely expressed his confession. He made his way straight to the point in his requests to God.

We need these kinds of sentences, short, concrete, simple instead of some long sentences that we hear and that, in many cases, don't say much. And a lot since the complaint and the anguish.

Therefore, take when speaking with God, it would be advisable to adopt Daniel's example secondary character, insincerity, and in being concrete, specific.

Fourth, Daniel's prayer was a powerful request. The prophet received an answer while he was speaking and praying. The angel Gabriel appeared to him to give him some explanation. This man received answers to his prayers. As the Apostle John said in his first chapter 5 epistle, verse 14, "This is the trust we have in him, that if we ask for anything according to his will. He hears us."

Fifth, his prayer was private and personal. Daniel did not convene any public prayer meetings; prayed in secret. Yours was a prayer that will have lasted about three minutes. Our Lord frequently prayed in private. His prayer recorded in John's 17th also lasted about three minutes. Many people participate in public prayer meetings, which is indispensable in the functioning of a church. But we need to spend more time in private prayer.

Sixth and last, prayer must achieve full penetration into God's presence. Prayer is the only force that has successfully penetrated the space sphere by heading to God's throne. Sir Isaac Newton said that he could take a telescope and see the nearest stars, but that he could leave the microscope, get down on his knees and penetrate the sky to the very throne of God.

For Daniel, prayer was a kind soul exercise carried out as an arduous and intense spiritual work. It requires effort, endurance, and even suffering from the soul.

We should note that the determining factor that prompted Daniel to pray was his study of God's Word. The Word reveals God's will. A review of the Word of God, followed by prayer, is the formula for determining God's will.

These are the promises that Daniel read and appear in Jeremiah 25:11, "All this land will be turned into ruins and dread, and these nations will serve the king of Babylon for seventy years." And also in Jeremiah 29:10, he should have read, "10 For thus saith the Lord, When in Babylon the seventy years are spoken, I will visit you and awaken upon you my good word, to bring you back to this place."

Daniel's prayer was very personal. It concerned him and his people, which was evident by the repeated use of the first-person pronoun, saying "I," "we," and "our." These pronouns appear 41 times in this sentence.

Let us remember that at the time we emphasized, that Nebuchadnezzar used this same pronoun over and over again. What was the difference? For Nebuchadnezzar, it was a sign of pride, a symbol of vanity. The contrast with Daniel's use of personal pronouns was remarkable. It denotes humility, confession, turmoil, and shame, in contrast to Nebuchadnezzar's pride and flattery.

Daniel's attitude was the appropriate attitude that we should take as we approach God in prayer.

God is not going to leave us altogether, but he will certainly not move for us until you and I take place where we can cry out for God's mercy and stop making excuses for us.

One of the prophets Daniel's most distinctive prayers was the following:

"Hey, Lord! Sir, I'm sorry! Listen, Lord, and do it! Don't belong, for the sake of yourself, my God, because your name is invoked upon your city and on your people."

Daniel's plea. I asked God to listen and respond to who I was and what I had promised. There was nothing good left in Israel.

Daniel didn't beg because he was Daniel. Instead, he associated himself with the people and said, "We have sinned," including himself. It is that the name of God was at stake, and Daniel was deeply concerned about the name of God and the glory of God; this was the basis of his plea and request.

After seeing a summary of the prophet Daniel's history, we understand a little better his influence on religious history and his way of praying echoes in our day.

But you may wonder, what if I am not the most versed in these themes of prayer, spiritual rejoicing, how would it be possible to help me in the manifestation and lead a more harmonious life?

¿IS IT POSSIBLE TO MANIFEST MIRACLES WITH THE POWER OF PRAYER?

Prayer is like a balm for the Spirit because a powerful prayer is a bridge to manifesting and creating blessings in your life. Some call the law of attraction, which, unfortunately, has misrepresented the meaning.

In times of restlessness, anguish, and crisis, we turn to prayer, but we don't know how to do it in a way to be heard.

If we understand how the law of attraction works appropriately, and we can identify what my mistake can be when I plant a sentence. How can I do it properly, just like Daniel did?

These two factors, the power of prayer, and the law of attraction, we know that knowledge is power, results in the ability to manifest miracles at will in your life.
