Podcasts about Daniel 4

Scripture Reading: Daniel 4 King Nebuchadnezzar was the sovereign king who conquered the remaining kingdom of Israel in 605 B.C. (some 120 years after the northern 10 tribes had already been conquered by Assyria). Tempted to boast in his own strength and military conquests, Nebuchadnezzar had grown arrogant. God sends him a dream with urgent significance for his life, but the king (with all the wise men of Babylon) can't understand the meaning and thus calls on Daniel to interpret the dream for him. In time, the dream comes true and Nebuchadnezzar is humbled by the sickness of insanity, from which he recovers only after he acknowledges the sovereign reign of the Most High God of Israel. So today, our pride can blind us from seeing our own faults and the ultimate sources of our blessings. Pride blinds us to our own temporality or limitations and to the grandeur and eternality of God. There's only room for one person to be on the saddle of your life: if you're calling all the shots, there's no room for God. Today we need a new vision—Nebuchadnezzar's vision—of the eternal sovereignty and glory of God. Replace your self-confidence with God-confidence (not me, my worth, my rights, my kingdom but God: God's worth, God's ability to work in this situation, God's kingdom.) His works are true and faithful (whereas I'm tempted to lie, sugar-coat, exaggerate, tell half the story.) I can't always keep my word; I can't always fulfill my responsibilities. God can. He does. His ways are just: I've failed and sinned, but all his ways are just: both when he gives and when he takes away, as Job said, blessed be His name. He can humble the proud. C.S. Lewis: “Humility is not thinking less of yourself, but thinking of yourself less.”  - If you're thinking “I'm horrible”, or “I'm ugly” and always harshly criticizing yourself, that's not humility: you're still thinking of “YOU”. Want to change? Admit you're proud, and ask God for grace to change and grow. James 4:6 “God resists the proud and he gives grace to the humble.”

Tree stumps can very easily represent the negative things in our life; the things we have lost. However, God can use the stumps in our life to spring forth new life in us. Tune in to this third sermon in our For the Trees series.

4 King Nebuchadnezzar to all peoples, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth: Peace be multiplied to you! 2 It has seemed good to me to show the signs and wonders that the Most High God has done for me. 3 How great are his signs, how mighty his wonders! His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and his dominion endures from generation to generation. Nebuchadnezzar's Second Dream4 I, Nebuchadnezzar, was at ease in my house and prospering in my palace. 5 I saw a dream that made me afraid. As I lay in bed the fancies and the visions of my head alarmed me. 6 So I made a decree that all the wise men of Babylon should be brought before me, that they might make known to me the interpretation of the dream. 7 Then the magicians, the enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the astrologers came in, and I told them the dream, but they could not make known to me its interpretation. 8 At last Daniel came in before me—he who was named Belteshazzar after the name of my god, and in whom is the spirit of the holy gods—and I told him the dream, saying, 9 “O Belteshazzar, chief of the magicians, because I know that the spirit of the holy gods is in you and that no mystery is too difficult for you, tell me the visions of my dream that I saw and their interpretation. 10 The visions of my head as I lay in bed were these: I saw, and behold, a tree in the midst of the earth, and its height was great. 11 The tree grew and became strong, and its top reached to heaven, and it was visible to the end of the whole earth. 12 Its leaves were beautiful and its fruit abundant, and in it was food for all. The beasts of the field found shade under it, and the birds of the heavens lived in its branches, and all flesh was fed from it. 13 “I saw in the visions of my head as I lay in bed, and behold, a watcher, a holy one, came down from heaven. 14 He proclaimed aloud and said thus: ‘Chop down the tree and lop off its branches, strip off its leaves and scatter its fruit. Let the beasts flee from under it and the birds from its branches. 15 But leave the stump of its roots in the earth, bound with a band of iron and bronze, amid the tender grass of the field. Let him be wet with the dew of heaven. Let his portion be with the beasts in the grass of the earth. 16 Let his mind be changed from a man's, and let a beast's mind be given to him; and let seven periods of time pass over him. 17 The sentence is by the decree of the watchers, the decision by the word of the holy ones, to the end that the living may know that the Most High rules the kingdom of men and gives it to whom he will and sets over it the lowliest of men.' 18 This dream I, King Nebuchadnezzar, saw. And you, O Belteshazzar, tell me the interpretation, because all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to make known to me the interpretation, but you are able, for the spirit of the holy gods is in you.” Daniel Interprets the Second Dream19 Then Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, was dismayed for a while, and his thoughts alarmed him. The king answered and said, “Belteshazzar, let not the dream or the interpretation alarm you.” Belteshazzar answered and said, “My lord, may the dream be for those who hate you and its interpretation for your enemies! 20 The tree you saw, which grew and became strong, so that its top reached to heaven, and it was visible to the end of the whole earth, 21 whose leaves were beautiful and its fruit abundant, and in which was food for all, under which beasts of the field found shade, and in whose branches the birds of the heavens lived— 22 it is you, O king, who have grown and become strong. Your greatness has grown and reaches to heaven, and your dominion to the ends of the earth. 23 And because the king saw a watcher, a holy one, coming down from heaven and saying, ‘Chop down the tree and destroy it, but leave the stump of its roots in the earth, bound with a band of iron and bronze, in the tender grass of the field, and let him be wet with the dew of heaven, and let his portion be with the beasts of the field, till seven periods of time pass over him,' 24 this is the interpretation, O king: It is a decree of the Most High, which has come upon my lord the king, 25 that you shall be driven from among men, and your dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field. You shall be made to eat grass like an ox, and you shall be wet with the dew of heaven, and seven periods of time shall pass over you, till you know that the Most High rules the kingdom of men and gives it to whom he will. 26 And as it was commanded to leave the stump of the roots of the tree, your kingdom shall be confirmed for you from the time that you know that Heaven rules. 27 Therefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable to you: break off your sins by practicing righteousness, and your iniquities by showing mercy to the oppressed, that there may perhaps be a lengthening of your prosperity.” Nebuchadnezzar's Humiliation28 All this came upon King Nebuchadnezzar. 29 At the end of twelve months he was walking on the roof of the royal palace of Babylon, 30 and the king answered and said, “Is not this great Babylon, which I have built by my mighty power as a royal residence and for the glory of my majesty?” 31 While the words were still in the king's mouth, there fell a voice from heaven, “O King Nebuchadnezzar, to you it is spoken: The kingdom has departed from you, 32 and you shall be driven from among men, and your dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field. And you shall be made to eat grass like an ox, and seven periods of time shall pass over you, until you know that the Most High rules the kingdom of men and gives it to whom he will.” 33 Immediately the word was fulfilled against Nebuchadnezzar. He was driven from among men and ate grass like an ox, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven till his hair grew as long as eagles' feathers, and his nails were like birds' claws. Nebuchadnezzar Restored34 At the end of the days I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifted my eyes to heaven, and my reason returned to me, and I blessed the Most High, and praised and honored him who lives forever, for his dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom endures from generation to generation; 35 all the inhabitants of the earth are accounted as nothing, and he does according to his will among the host of heaven and among the inhabitants of the earth; and none can stay his hand or say to him, “What have you done?” 36 At the same time my reason returned to me, and for the glory of my kingdom, my majesty and splendor returned to me. My counselors and my lords sought me, and I was established in my kingdom, and still more greatness was added to me. 37 Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and extol and honor the King of heaven, for all his works are right and his ways are just; and those who walk in pride he is able to humble.

We look at the role of pride and how it can cause a stumbling block to our relationship with God. We also explore how pride can cause us to be consumed with fear, worry and stress. The only answer is to find peace in God and not in ourselves or in the world. Putting our trust in God for our future can give us a confidence the world cannot take away.

Daniel 4 tells the story of another dream of King Nebuchadnezzar. But behind the story of the dream is a story of pride. No one likes to be around a prideful person yet at the same time pride manifests itself in a variety of ways we all carry it. In this sermon we explore the essence of pride, the result of pride and how we all might be healed of our pride.

In this powerful exploration of Daniel chapter 4, we're reminded of the dangers of pride and the transformative power of God's grace. The story of Nebuchadnezzar's fall from power and subsequent restoration serves as a stark warning against self-glorification and a beautiful testament to God's patient, humbling, and restorative grace. We're challenged to examine our own lives - are we standing on the rooftop of our achievements, boasting in our own glory? Or are we humbly lifting our eyes to heaven, acknowledging that only God is truly great? This message urges us to recognize that all our blessings come from God and to respond with praise and worship rather than pride. It's a call to repentance, reminding us that God's kindness is meant to lead us to Him, not to presume upon His patience. As we reflect on Nebuchadnezzar's transformation, we're invited to experience our own journey of humility and restoration, finding true sanity and understanding only when our eyes are fixed on the King of Heaven.Scripture References Include:Daniel 4:28-37Romans 3:23-252 Corinthians 12:9Hebrews 4:16Romans 2:4Proverbs 16:18Philippians 2:6-11

In this powerful exploration of Daniel 4, we delve into the profound spiritual lesson of pride and humility. The story of Nebuchadnezzar's dream serves as a stark reminder that all earthly power is ultimately subject to God's authority. We're challenged to examine our own hearts and recognize where pride may be taking root. The imagery of the mighty tree being cut down symbolizes how God can humble even the most powerful among us. This message urges us to cultivate humility in our lives, understanding that everything we have is a gift from God. It's a call to recognize our dependence on Him and to live in a way that acknowledges His sovereignty. As we reflect on this, we're encouraged to ask ourselves: Are we living independently of God or in humble submission to His will? This timeless message reminds us that true wisdom and freedom come from aligning our lives with God's truth.

Pastor Jason emphasizes the importance of humility in receiving God's blessings, illustrated through the relationship between Daniel and King Nebuchadnezzar. Daniel's willingness to serve and speak truthfully exemplifies how humility leads to transformation and blessing, even for those in power. The message highlights that God's discipline is rooted in love, urging believers to embrace humility and seek repentance to experience His mercy. Ultimately, true blessing comes from recognizing the Most High God and submitting to His will.

In the latest sermon, Pastor Jason highlights the journey of Daniel and King Nebuchadnezzar, emphasizing how humility can lead to God's blessings. The message stresses that sharing God's story, listening, serving, and nurturing relationships can open doors for God's blessings and influence others for Christ.

There are a few different ways to look at the structure of the book of Daniel, and one of them is to note that the first six chapters are comprised of narratives that contain prophecy, while the last six chapters are prophecies that contain history. These next three chapters each happen in successive time periods under successive kings whom Daniel served under, however, later chapters do not maintain chronological order. Each account shows God's supreme authority over all kings and kingdoms. Those who attempt to thwart the Lord's plans and the Lord's ways are all shown to be weak and easily dismissed.Daniel 4 - 1:11 . Daniel 5 - 10:57 . Daniel 6 - 19:09 . Isaiah 43:14-28 - 25:50 .  :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by Bobby Brown, Katelyn Pridgen, Eric Williamson & the Christian Standard Biblefacebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

Steve Wiggins of GroundworksMinistries.com is sharing a devotional from the Old Testament book of Daniel, Chapter Four.

This week's discussion features Judah Thomas, Lenny Salgado, Johnny V, Ben Cossette, Mike McHugh, and James Gowell. James kicks us off this week by discussing Daniel's ability to lead from the back by being a light in a very dark situation. In our walk, God provides opportunities to share The Good News, however, depending on their situation, they can either be willing to listen, choose to debate atheism or unfortunately the individual might just prefer the darkness. A challenge is presented for anyone listening to hit their knees, pray to God, ask for wisdom and repent from whatever is pulling you away from God for 24 hours at a time. Lenny than praises Daniel for going to the Holy Spirit first prior to praying for people or whenever trouble presents itself. Lenny highlights Daniel 6 where we find Daniel praying three times a day. Although the king did not want Daniel in the lions den, Daniels faith allowed him to be fearless.Mike talks about the new king or any kingdom for that matter, rise and fall, but God always remains the same, today, yesterday and forever. Johnny then reinforces the importance of hitting our knees in prayer and the impact that can have on our faith.Judah discusses that we can admire Daniel for his boldness, faith, prayer and that this attainable for anyone that is willing to allow the Holy Spirit to direct their lives. The group continues to discuss pride, the power of prayer, and allowing God to do the transforming...and so much more.  Enjoy and have a blessed day.

Humble yourself, or you will lose your mind. That's the delicate message Daniel reluctantly gives to King Nebuchadnezzar. What happens next? And is there a message for us in the section of Scripture as well?

No one can get away from God! That's what we'll learn as our study of Nebuchadnezzar's fascinating dreams and Daniel's faithful interpretations continue.
