The Gospel That Changes What's Been Long Standing - Restoring the Babylon Gospel Movement(Daniel 1:8~9)

  But Daniel resolved not to defile himself with the royal food and wine, and he asked the chief official for permission not to defile himself this way(8).

Hymn #370 The Trusting Heart to Jesus Clings(Unified Hymn 455)

  As a result of the nature of Genesis 3; 6; and 11, many sorcerers; fortune-tellers; and temples appeared(Acts 13, 16, & 19). Daniel and his three friends knew that the only way to stop these disasters was the Gospel, so they resolved and focused on prayer. First, Daniel did "scheduled prayer."(Daniel 6:10) Second, within the covenant, he changed everything into prayer(Daniel 1:8~9). Third, while doing all works, he did 24-hour prayer(Daniel 6:20 & 22). At that time, the answer of "25" that established God's Kingdom emerged, and the resulting fruit was "Eternity." If you're within this prayer, "The Throne's Power" and God's Kingdom will come, and you'll see the works pertaining to His Kingdom. And of course, your worries and concerns about the future will dissipate.

1. Daniel Who Had a Time of Quiet Prayer
  Through prayer, Daniel had already seen "The Throne's Power"; the presence of God's Kingdom; and its works. That's why as soon as he was taken captive, he resolved(Daniel 1:8~9). God appointed Daniel as a high-ranking public servant who moved King Nebuchadnezzar, King Belshazzar, and King Darius(Daniel 6:1~9). Even when a crisis came, Daniel enjoyed this mystery of prayer "just as he had done before." God even sent an angel of the Lord to protect him.

2. The Three Friends Who Had a Time of Enjoyable Prayer
  When the king forced Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego to worship an image of gold, they resolutely refused(Daniel 3:8~23) .That's why God exalted Daniel and his three friends to carry out the evangelization movement in Babylon and around the world.

3. Esther Who Had a Time of Deep Prayer
  Esther knew why she became queen. So, just as Mordecai had instructed, she didn't reveal that she was Jewish(Esther 2:10). When all the Jewish people were about to be annihilated, Esther asked all her people to give special prayers and prayed intensively(Esther 9:20~32).

  The vital key to prayer is the name of Jesus. When you pray in that name, the works of the Triune God arise; "The Throne's Door" opens; and the authority to destroy darkness appears. You just need to pray so that "The Throne's Power" comes in the morning, "The Throne's Answer" takes place during the day; and "The Throne's Re-Creation" arises at night.

[Covenantal Prayer] Dear God, I believe that this will be a new and important start. While listening to the Word, may disciples arise. May this be a new time schedule for finding the most important aspects given by You. In Jesus Christ's name, I pray. Amen.
