"So I was left alone, gazing at this great vision, I had no strength
left, my face turned deathly pale and I was helpless." - Daniel 10:8
Daniel received a vision that troubled him greatly. He wanted
understanding of this vision. He set himself out to understand the
vision by fasting for three weeks. Three days after his three weeks of
fasting, a messenger of God appeared to Daniel. The messenger explained
that Heaven had heard his prayer from the first day, but the angel was
temporarily prevented from coming by the prince of Persia, a demon
angel, who sought to thwart God's messenger from coming to Daniel.
There are times in our lives when we must set ourselves to seeking God
with all our hearts. It is in these times that we hear from Heaven in
ways we may never have experienced before. Daniel's perseverance in
prayer was rewarded with a personal encounter with Heaven. However, in
order to receive from God, Daniel had to be left alone, have his
strength removed, and be placed in a helpless condition. When we have
no ability in our own strength to move Heaven or the events around us, we
are in position to hear from Heaven. It is the acknowledgment of our
humanity and our frailness that places us in a position to have a
personal encounter with the living God.
Do you need a personal encounter with God today? Do you need God to
intervene on your behalf? Seek Him with all your heart. Demonstrate to
Him you are serious. Get alone and acknowledge your helpless condition
before Him. He will reward you with His presence.
