Topic: Deliverance
One Point: The Den is not the end, it is the place where I will see the power of my God!
Explanation: God allows us to go into the “den” to test our obedience, grow our faith and to demonstrate his power and his glory to the world around us.
Review:
You cannot separate your Obedience from your Faith
You cannot separate what you do, your obedience, from what you believe, your faith.
“When Daniel knew the document had been signed”
Scripture:
Me:
Mom and Dad are moving to Arizona in a couple of weeks so they are visiting with us this morning and I am reminded of my favorite word when I was a kid, “why”
If Daniel showed himself to be obedient so many times and to have such strong faith, why didn’t God keep Daniel out of the lions den?
We:
Maybe you have wondered the same thing?
Not just about Daniel but about yourself.
When the phone call comes, or you open the letter, or the doctor give you diagnosis or your boss calls you into the meeting …you may find yourself asking God, “Why, God, why the den?
In all your power why couldn’t you keep me out of the den?”
The den is not the end, it is the place where you will see the power of your God!
Through Daniel God’s word shows us the power of following God straight into the den
God:
There was no way out, all hope seemed lost and no rest would come
Does that sound familiar to you?
Circle that word “Then”
all seems lost…then (etc.)
If we are willing to follow God into the den he will deliver us!
The den is not the end, it is the place where you will see the power of your God!
This seems cruel.
Why is this verse in here…because it illustrates the miraculous power of God.
These were not uninterested lions that God protected Daniel from
Your enemies are real and the darkness is real and your loneliness is real but your God is bigger
The den is not the end, it is the place where you will see the power of your God!
You:
What den are you in this morning?
Maybe you are standing at the opening unwilling to go in?
This week when you realize you are in the den, remember this one word, “then”
You may be in the den with no apparent hope, THEN
Daniel’s story is a picture of what was to come in the life of another man.
Jesus willingly went to the cross and there was and never has been one more faithful and true
They sealed him in the Tomb for 3 days
Why would God allow this to happen?
Jesus was killed and sealed in a tomb so that God could raise him from the dead and defeat the greatest enemy of your life, death.
He once an for all displayed his power as the true living God
Maybe the den you are in this morning is that you have never accepted Jesus as your savior and you are lost
I believe God would say to you this morning, if I can rescue a man from lions and raise a man from the dead then I can save you.
Conclusion: You may be in a den with lions where all hope is lost, but remember, Then...
We:
The den is not the end, it is the place where I will see the power of my God!
Think for just a moment the great hope we have to share as believers:
What freedom and peace there is in knowing, if I obey God, regardless of where he leads, he will deliver me.
