Michael, the archangel came to recuse and the message was finally delivered after three weeks. God answered Daniel with one of the greatest prophecy in the entire Bible (read chapter 11)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u3000\u3000\u3000Gabriel told Daniel that from the moment he had begum to pray, his words had been heard in heaven. As Paul says: \u201c We do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities against powers, against he rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in heavenly places\u201d Ephesians 6:12. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u3000\u3000\u3000One important lesson I learn from Daniel 10 is God\u2019s delay does not mean God\u2019s denial. We are easily discourage when our prayer seem unanswered. Jesus encourages us to pray and not lose heart Luke 18:1, and Paul told us to pray with all perseverance, Ephesian 6:18. God always listen to our prayer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u3000\u3000\u3000Sometimes, I think that it does not sound \u201cmanly\u201d to pray when we face problems. &nbsp;I tend to find ways to solve problems instead of praying. &nbsp;However, Christians are in a spiritual warfare.&nbsp; Satan has the power to delay God\u2019s message. Satan also uses ways to distract us from asking for God\u2019s help. As we pray, God send his army of angels to fight for us. Prayer is a \u201cmanly\u201d way to deal with our problem(s). \u3000\u3000\u3000&#8212; Alan Yam<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Daniel 10:1-21 \u3000\u3000\u3000Prophet Daniel was at his eighties wh [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3470","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-devotion-2019_2021"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/glorycbc.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3470","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/glorycbc.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/glorycbc.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/glorycbc.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/glorycbc.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3470"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/glorycbc.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3470\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3987,"href":"https:\/\/glorycbc.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3470\/revisions\/3987"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/glorycbc.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3470"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/glorycbc.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3470"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/glorycbc.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3470"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
