Public Success Comes From Private Prayer Daniel's enemies searched his work and found nothing, so they changed their strategy. Two of the three supervisors and the 120 satraps went to King Darius together. They opened with flattery, lied that everyone had agreed, and asked the king to sign a law: for the next 30 days, anyone who prayed to any god except the king would be thrown into the lions' den. Under the law of the Medes and Persians, not even the king could change it once it was signed (Daniel 6:6-9). "But when Daniel learned that the law had been signed, he went home and knelt down as usual in his upstairs room, with its windows open toward Jerusalem. He prayed three times a day, just as he had always done, giving thanks to his God" (Daniel 6:10). In Part 84 of Discovering Destiny, Rick Pina teaches four truths from that moment about opposition, prayer, pressure, and praise. You fight the way you train, so build your prayer life now, keep your windows open, and give God pre-performance praise like it's already done. Key Nuggets: 1. When God is on you, in you, with you, and for you, stopping you would mean stopping God, and God cannot be stopped. 2. Flattery is usually the front door of a trap. When people start stroking your ego, check what they are asking you to sign. 3. Just because something is popular doesn't mean it's true. The majority opinion is not always God's opinion. 4. People saw promotion after promotion in Daniel's life, but they never saw the time he spent on his knees. Private processing precedes public promotion. 5. In the military we say train the way you fight, but in actuality you fight the way you train. You will pray in the crisis the way you prayed before it. 6. Crisis doesn't create character. It reveals it. Don't wait until the lions are hungry to build up a prayer life. 7. When you give God praise like it's already done, you are telling Him that you trust Him with whatever the outcome is going to be.
