"The Power Of Prayer" | Greatly Loved

SCRIPTURE: Daniel 9 – Lesson #2

SHOW NOTES: We invite you to visit our ministry website, Discover God's Truth. There, you will find additional resources to enrich your Walk with God. 

Daniel was a man of prayer and set a godly example for us. He studied the historical scriptures and prayed to the Lord faithfully every day. 

He approaches the Lord based on God’s loyal, covenant-keeping hesed love, which promised a covenant relationship with Israel. In chapter nine, Daniel confesses both his sin and the sins of Israel to the Lord. Israel had transgressed against the law of the Lord and refused to obey His commands. 

"While I was speaking and praying, confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my plea before the Lord my God for the holy hill of my God, while I was speaking in prayer, the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the first, came to me in swift flight at the time of the evening sacrifice." Daniel 9:20-21 

“The man Gabriel” suggests that this mighty archangel appeared in a human-like form and spoke to Daniel clearly, as one man speaks to another. Gabriel serves as a messenger from God, delivering messages and explanations to Daniel. 

"He made me understand, speaking with me and saying, “O Daniel, I have now come out to give you insight and understanding. At the beginning of your pleas for mercy, a word went out, and I have come to tell it to you, for you are greatly loved. Therefore, consider the word and understand the vision." Daniel 9:22-23

Gabriel conveys a message filled with hope and promise. He assures Daniel of God's great love and pledges to provide him with insight and understanding.
