Daniel 6:16
Then the king gave orders, and Daniel was brought in and cast into the lions' den. The king spoke and said to Daniel, “Your God whom you constantly serve will Himself deliver you.”
{{{ Interesting the King who was not a follower of the one living GOD Makes the statement
“Your God whom you constantly serve will Himself deliver you.”
Your God whom you constantly:
this is the key to having the Lord GOD on your side when evil plots and comes against you. To be constantly serving Him.
Read the recall of Daniel and the lion’s den below, or better yet get take the time to pick up a bible get off by yourself, pray and ask the Lord GOD to open your heart and mind to the truth of what the Bible is telling us, and then read Daniel 6 )))
Daniel 6:20
When he (the King) had come near the den to Daniel, he (the King) cried out with a troubled voice. The king spoke and said to Daniel, “Daniel, servant of the living God, has your God, whom you constantly serve, been able to deliver you from the lions?”
{{{ And yet aging the non-follower of the only living GOD makes the statement
“Daniel, servant of the living God “, “whom you constantly serve”
What God do your serve?
And how often to you actually serve it or Him?
Do you spend more time with your phone, tablet, laptop or computer then with the only living GOD?
if so you might want to reconsider what or who your GOD is, and who or what you are or serving. }}}
Daniel 6:24 The king then gave orders, and they brought those men who had maliciously accused Daniel, and they cast them, their children and their wives into the lions' den; and they had not reached the bottom of the den before the lions overpowered them and crushed all their bones.
{{{ just like with those who maliciously accused Daniel, because of Him constantly serving the only living GOD, know that if you are constantly serving the Lord GOD He will do the same in your life.
i was reminded of Romans 8:28-31
Romans 8:28-31
¶ And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose.
For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brethren; and these whom He predestined, He also called; and these whom He called, He also justified; and these whom He justified, He also glorified.
What then shall we say to these things?
If God is for us, who is against us?
We are not being accused by man alon but rather by the evil that he serves and allows to control him, this is who is against us, he is against us because we serve the one most high GOD and serve Him and Him alone.
Conclusion: This world hold nothing for me, my home is not here on earth but in Heaven.
i will not fear mankind who can only kill the body,
but only Father GOD who can not only kill the body but can send the soul to the pit of hell.
Father GOD wills that no man should parish and go to hell,
by sending His Son to earth to hang on a cross for us to take our place and pay our debt for all the sins we have committed, to return to life three days later victories over death, hell and the grave, holding the keys to all three,
He has set us free.
It is your choice to except His freedom and His forgivness
that He has purchased for you.
i chose to except that gift and to constantly serve Him, will you.? }}}
Here is Daniel 6,
and the account of what lead up to Daniel being thrown in to the lion’s den. And what happened afterwards. Take the time to read and see what the Holy Spirit may show and say to you.
Daniel 6:1-5
¶ It seemed good to Darius to appoint 120 satraps over the kingdom, that they would be in charge of the whole kingdom, and over them three commissioners (of whom Daniel was one), that these satraps might be accountable to them, and that the king might not suffer loss.
Then this Daniel began distinguishing himself among the commissioners and satraps because he possessed an extraordinary spirit, and the king planned to appoint him over the entire kingdom.
Then the commissioners and satraps began trying to find a ground of accusation against Daniel in regard to government affairs; but they could find no ground of accusation or evidence of corruption, inasmuch as he was faithful, and no negligence or corruption was to be found in him.
Then these men said, “We will not find any ground of accusation against this Daniel unless we find it against him with regard to the law of his God.”
Daniel 6:6-9
¶ Then these commissioners and satraps came by agreement to the king and spoke to him as follows: “King Darius, live forever!
“All the commissioners of the kingdom, the prefects and the satraps, the high officials and the governors have consulted together that the king should establish a statute and enforce an injunction that anyone who makes a petition to any god or man besides you, O king, for thirty days, shall be cast into the lions’ den.
“Now, O king, establish the injunction and sign the document so that it may not be changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which may not be revoked.” Therefore, King Darius signed the document, that is, the injunction.
Daniel 6:10-13 ¶
Now when Daniel knew that the document was signed, he entered his house (now in his roof chamber he had windows open toward Jerusalem); and he continued kneeling on his knees three times a day, praying and giving thanks before his God, as he had been doing previously.
Then these men came by agreement and found Daniel making petition and supplication before his God.
Then they approached and spoke before the king about the king’s injunction, “Did you not sign an injunction that any man who makes a petition to any god or man besides you, O king, for thirty days, is to be cast into the lions’ den?” The king replied, “The statement is true, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which may not be revoked.”
Then they answered and spoke before the king, “Daniel, who is one of the exiles from Judah, pays no attention to you, O king, or to the injunction which you signed, but keeps making his petition three times a day.”
Daniel 6:14-15
¶ Then, as soon as the king heard this statement, he was deeply distressed and set his mind on delivering Daniel; and even until sunset he kept exerting himself to rescue him.
Then these men came by agreement to the king and said to the king, “Recognize, O king, that it is a law of the Medes and Persians that no injunction or statute which the king establishes may be changed.” Daniel in the Lions' Den Dan
6:16-18 ¶ Then the king gave orders, and Daniel was brought in and cast into the lions’ den. The king spoke and said to Daniel, “Your God whom you constantly serve will Himself deliver you.”
A stone was brought and laid over the mouth of the den; and the king sealed it with his own signet ring and with the signet rings of his nobles, so that nothing would be changed in regard to Daniel.
Then the king went off to his palace and spent the night fasting, and no entertainment was brought before him; and his sleep fled from him.
Daniel 6:19-24
¶ Then the king arose at dawn, at the break of day, and went in haste to the lions’ den.
When he had come near the den to Daniel, he cried out with a troubled voice.
The king spoke and said to Daniel, “Daniel, servant of the living God, has your God, whom you constantly serve, been able to deliver you from the lions?”
Then Daniel spoke to the king, “O king, live forever!
“My God sent His angel and shut the lions’ mouths and they have not harmed me, inasmuch as I was found innocent before Him; and also, toward you, O king, I have committed no crime.”
Then the king was very pleased and gave orders for Daniel to be taken up out of the den. So, Daniel was taken up out of the den and no injury whatever was found on him, because he had trusted in his God.
The king then gave orders, and they brought those men who had maliciously accused Daniel, and they cast them, their children and their wives into the lions’ den; and they had not reached the bottom of the den before the lions overpowered them and crushed all their bones.
Daniel 6:25-28
¶ Then Darius the king wrote to all the peoples, nations and men of every language who were living in all the land: “May your peace abound!
“I make a decree that in all the dominion of my kingdom men are to fear and tremble before the God of Daniel;
For He is the living God and enduring forever,
And His kingdom is one which will not be destroyed,
And His dominion will be forever.
“He delivers and rescues and performs signs and wonders In heaven and on earth,
Who has also delivered Daniel from the power of the lions.”
So, this Daniel enjoyed success in the reign of Darius and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.
{{{ Why don’t you dedicate or rededicate your life to the Lord Christ Jesus? Living to constantly serve Him instead of man or yourself, and see what He will do for you. }}}
at least take the time to look at what lions den you may be in
thank about who you are serving.
Make the choiceof who or what you will serve,
the choice is up to you, it is yours.

i apologize for not been on, posting to the Take a Read / Blog page for over a month please forgive me,
i have been staying away do to unfounded fears,
not of what people may say or the criticism i have i have already recived,
not because of anything to do with the evil in the world,
but because i do not want to let Father GOD, the Lord Jesus nor the Holy Spirit down.
But now see by doing nothing i have been doing just that, doing nothing is the samw as agreeing with the evil.
i know i can not read well, i know i can not spell well, i know i am a sinner.
But i also know i have been and am, saved by the grace of Christ Jesus, my Lord and savior.
i just finished listening to a speech give on 07/July/2023
through the speaker the Holy Spirit showed me all i need to do is show up and do what He says,
post the things He has set before me,
move forward as He says move forward and set still when He says to set still.
Put my piece of the puzzle on the table and allow the Lord to use this piece as He sees fit.
the Holy Spirit asked “are you willing to show up?” My answer was “yes i will show up”
This is something i have been praying about for many many months and tonight was given the answer.
Be willing to show up, then show up, and allow the Holy Spirit to lead and direct my path.
Please take the time to listen to the speech by going to the link above it is very encouraging and may change your life.
May the Lord bless you with His greatest gift, His love forgivnes and redemption for you.
These are some things i had forgotten over the years 1. The Lord is my sheared, i shall not want.
2. The Lord will never leave me nor forsake me.
3. There are but three things in this life that i need and they are
a. the air that i breath
b. the love of my Lord and savior Christ Jesus
c. and to allow my teacher the Holy Spirit to teach me, to guide and direct me down the path the Lord has set before me.
i give my life to You Lord to use as You may, for You are my provider and my provision,
in all truth i need nothing of this world,
all i need is Christ Jesus and His love.

Saw this yesterday and reminded me of a verse that has been hanging on my wall now for over 50 years as a reminder to look up.
some hype but yet a reminder to look up.
Luke 21:25-36
25 Then there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars, and upon the earth trouble among the nations with perplexity: the sea and the waters shall roar.
26 And men’s hearts shall file them for fear, and for looking after those things which shall come on the world: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
27 And then shall they see the Son of man come in a cloud, with power and great glory.
28 And when these things begin to come to passe, then look up, and lift up your heads: for your redemption draws near.
29 And he spoke to them a parable, Behold, the fig tree, and all trees,
30 When they now shoot forth, you seeing them, know of your own selves, that summer is then nearby.
31 So likewise you, when you see these things come to passe, you know that the Kingdome of God is nearby.
32 Verily I say unto you, This age shall not passe, till all these things be done:
33 Heaven and earth shall passe away, but my words shall not passe away.
34 Take heed to your selves, lest at any time your hearts be oppressed with surfeiting and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that Day come on you unexpectedly.
35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.
36 Watch therefore, and pray continually, that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to passe, and that you may stand before the Son of man.
Question: Are you looking for the Lord’s appearance in the clouds?
Are you ready for Him to come back for you?
This world is not my home,
i have nothing to pack,
i have not one worldly position to declare,
i am looking for Your return,
even death has not a grip on my soul,
it belongs to you O Lord.
Come quickly Lord Jesus, Come,
i am ready to go home.

John 11:38-44
Jesus, again being deeply moved within, came to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone was lying against it.
Jesus said, “Remove the stone.” Martha, the sister of the deceased, said to Him, “Lord, by this time there will be a stench, for he has been dead four days.” Jesus said to her, “Did I not say to you that if you believe, you will see the glory of God?”
So they removed the stone. Then Jesus raised His eyes, and said, “Father, I thank You that You have heard Me.
“I knew that You always hear Me; but because of the people standing around I said it, so that they may believe that You sent Me.”
When He had said these things, He cried out with a loud voice, “Lazarus, come forth.” The man who had died came forth, bound hand and foot with wrappings, and his face was wrapped around with a cloth. Jesus said to them, “Unbind him, and let him go.”
[[ The love the Lord shown for Lazarus is the same love He has for us you,
Allowing Himself to be crucified on a cross He has freed us you from death. Yes our human body will die but our soul will live forever if we are willing to repent of our sins (repent is to confess our sins to Christ and turn away from the sins and then follow and obey the commandments of the Lord) ask Him to forgive you, putting your faith and trust in Him by doing so when this body dies you are with Him in Heaven that very instant.
God loves you
John 3:15-18
“so that whoever believes will in Him have eternal life.”
“For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.
For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.
He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.”
Jesus came to earth in the form of a man, to save us from death hell and the grave. He has shown great love for me and you. In return should we not return that love with love.
John 14:15-18
“If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.”
“I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may be with you forever; that is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it does not see Him or know Him, but you know Him because He abides with you and will be in you.”
“I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.”
Jesus has told us if we love Him we will keep His commandments.
And what is the first and foremost commandments
Matthew 22:37-39
And Jesus said to him,
“YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.’
This is the great and foremost commandment. The second is like it,
‘YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.”
Do you truly love the Father God?
Do you truly love the Lord Jesus?
If so, then show it obey these two commandments.
If you can obey these two, the other commandments will be much simpler to obey.
Jesus loves you so much He was willing to hang on a cross for you.
What are you willing to do for Him?

A few things we have gone over the last few months,
And have hopefully learned
Jesus is the one who holds the Church and the Spirit of the Church in His right hand.
Jesus is the first and the last the one who was dead, and has come to life.
Jesus is the one with the two-edged sward
Jesus is the Son of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire, and His feet are like burnished bronze.
Jesus holds the seven Spirits of God.
Jesus is holy, He is true, He has the key of David, He is the one who opens and no one will shut, and He is the one who shuts and no one opens.
Jesus is The Amen, the faithful and true Witness, the Beginning of the creation of God.
From Revelation:
There are things that GOD does not like (holds aginst us)
1. After becoming a Christian, you drift away;
Revelation 2:4 “But I Have this against you, that you have left your first love.”
And in Revelation 3:5 we are told “Therefore, remember from where you have fallen” (from where we have been saved) “and repent and do the deeds you did at the first.”
2. When the church (followers of Christ) allows and listen to those of the world who spread the teaching of Balaam and Balak in the church
Revelation 2:14 “But I have a few things against you, because you have there some who hold the teaching of Balaam, who kept teaching Balak to put a stumbling block before the sons of Israel, to eat things sacrificed to idols and to commit acts of immorality.”
3. That we listen to the teachings and ways of this world and the evil of it, just because someone is supposedly a good teacher or profit
Revelation 2:20 “But I have this against you, that you tolerate the woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophetess, and she teaches and leads My bond-servants astray so that they commit acts of immorality and eat things sacrificed to idols.”
4. Jesus knows you He knows your name and your deeds; He knows your walk through this life. He knows the things you have learned have been taught, you have allowed to become week in your life,
Revelation 3:2-3 “Wake up, and strengthen the things that remain, which were about to die; for I have not found your deeds completed in the sight of My God. So, remember what you have received and heard; and keep it, and repent. Therefore, if you do not wake up, I will come like a thief, and you will not know at what hour I will come to you.”
5. Jesus desires that we would ether be on fir when it come to Him and His Commandments, Or cold and just walk away from His commandments. That we would make the choice to totally follow Him and His teachings or turn or backs and walk away.
Revelation 3:15-17 “I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot; I wish that you were cold or hot. So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of My mouth. Because you say, “I am rich, and have become wealthy, and have need of nothing,” and you do not know that you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked.”
Jesus tells us if we will repent and overcome, we will be rewarded by Him. He who has an ear let him hear what the Spirit says to the Churches.
We are to be in the word of God and adapting our lives to His word, Follow, (obey) the commandments of GOD.
We have heard and hopefully learned that God is love and that we are to reflect that love to others so that they may see and except that love from Jesus the Son of God.
Back later with more Have a bless day and remember, no mater what you do, do it as un to the Lord. Do your best and ask the Holy Spirit to guide your day.
