Deliver Us From Evil, Part 1

Gospel Daily with Josh Weidmann Deliver Us From Evil, Part 1 Series: Daniel - Thy Kingdom Come Scripture: Daniel 10 Episode: 1308

In Daniel 10, Daniel receives a powerful vision after three weeks of mourning and fasting, during which he is visited by a heavenly messenger clothed in linen with a radiant appearance. Overwhelmed by the encounter, Daniel falls weak but is strengthened by the angel, who explains that his prayer was heard from the beginning, but the answer was delayed by spiritual warfare—specifically, a conflict with the prince of Persia. The angel reveals that angelic battles influence earthly kingdoms, and Michael, the archangel, assisted in breaking through. This chapter lifts the veil on spiritual conflict, showing that heavenly warfare affects human history. Key themes include persistent prayer, angelic resistance, spiritual warfare, and God’s sovereignty over unseen realms.
