Daniel: Expressing God’s Move (Daniel 10:1-4)

God is moving in every age he desires, something in every age . We call this God’s moves. In Daniels day. It was the move of allowing Israel to be in captivity. Daniel prayed in chapter 9 for their readiness to be released from captivity. Then at the end of chapter 9, God gives him more revelation of what God is going to do in the future, Daniels 70 weeks. God’s going to rebuild the temple, God is going to send the Messiah prince, God is going to allow the antichrist to have his way during the tribulation for a short time. And then we know it before the tribulation occurs, the age of grace has emerged, the church age, which we live in now. In all of these moves, God is looking for saints on earth to Express His move, to be interested in what he’s doing, and to be according to what he’s doing. In chapter 10 Saints were released to go back to Jerusalem. Not all of them, just a remnant. Daniel, due to his old age remained under the reign of king Cyrus. But he continue to pray, earnestly for God‘s people to go back to Jerusalem and express what God’s doing. Now what did that look like? It simply was believers, who were passionate for what God wants. Rebuild Jerusalem! What age do we live in? The Church age! Now what does a believer look like who is expressing God’s move on earth today. Quite simply we live in a wonderful age where Christ has come to live in us and the church should simply be an expression of Jesus Christ rather than ourselves. Unfortunately, most Christians do not know the reality of the church . They treat it like a building, a program, a time, a place, a club, an event, etc. We need to cry out like Daniel in chapter 9 God forgive us we’re blinded by our religion. The church is simply Christ in us! If you find the church in your locality, you should find saints who are living for the expression of Jesus Christ in their daily life. And when they come together, it is a glorious expression. Day by day all things happen and come to us for the expression which is the building of the church. Yes, we are Building Something… It is the holy habitation of God, which is Christ, who has brought us into him, and,he into us , and on earth we are to be a constant expression of him until that glorious day we are all gathered as the new Jerusalem. There we all will have been processed through time to be his eternal expression. May we participate today in the building of the church, the new Jerusalem. Whatever happens to you today turn away from it and turn to Christ and say, Lord Jesus you are the Christ,, build your Church amen .
