#soap # Daniel 10 ## Title: Heaven Fights For Us ## Scripture: (Daniel 10:12-13) Then he said to me, “Don’t be afraid, Daniel, for from the very first day you applied your mind to understand and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard. I have come in response to your words. However, the prince of the kingdom of Persia was opposing me for 21 days. But Michael, one of the leading princes, came to help me, because I was left there with the kings of Persia. (NET) ## Observation: In this passage, we see that God was on the move from the first day Daniel prayed. He was doing things in the spirit world that Daniel knew nothing about until it was over. We will never know the spiritual battles that have been fought over us. God has won countless fights with the enemy over our souls, answers to prayer, divine protection, and more. Therefore, when an answer to prayer is delayed, we should not immediately think that something is wrong. We should think that something could be happening that we simply do not know about. One of the greatest acts of faith is faithfulness. When we do not know what to do, we continue being faithful and trust that Heaven is fighting for us. ## Application: Think about how Heaven is in constant motion. Trust the Lord when answers are delayed. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for leading us into victory.
