The Prophet Daniel

Trusting God for Outrageously Good Outcomes! (Daniel 1)

1. Outrageously Good Outcomes

  • God wants to make us shine
  • God wants to move us to the top and keep us there
  • God has called us to be shapers and leaders of our culture
  • God wants to use us to turn the hearts of heathen kings and to make His Name famous!

2.  Resolve to keep your God-given name, no matter what your enemy calls you!

If I can change your name, I can change your destiny!

The Process:

  • Change what you call him
  • Change what others call him
  • Change what he calls himself
  • Change his identity = change his destiny

God uses this process to positively identify us; the enemy uses this process for identity theft

3. The enemy’s goals

  • To separate you from your godly heritage
  • To separate you from God’s love
  • To separate you from godly hope

4.  How to withstand your enemy

No matter what your enemy calls you, resolve to call yourself what God has called you!
