Hearing From Heaven

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 and he wanted understanding of this vision. So 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 him and 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; and 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 our living God. Seek Him with all your heart as this demonstrate to Him you are serious—get alone with Him and He will reward you with His presence.
