Pride = Insanity. Pride is a false reality where we convince ourselves we are responsible for the blessings that come from God. It took a lot for Nebuchadnezzar to repent of his pride and turn to God. Are we any different? Do things have to get worse before we decide to turn back to God?

Daniel is the end-times book in the Bible before Revelation. Importantly, these books tell us what to do and what is going to happen when the world goes crazy. Nations and cities have a choice to do life like Babylon or like Jerusalem. Babylon tries to brainwash you and Jerusalem is a people that live in relationship with God by their convictions. 

Patriotism is a love that God created. In the same way that we love the city we grew up in or the college we attended, we should have a love for our nation and our way of life. When generations lose their love of country, it is the beginning of the end. When you love something, you must fight to save it.

Are you using your "ask" with the Lord? There are people with no faith in life, people with just enough faith, and people who risk everything. Which one are you? If you don't have daring faith, crazy faith, are you really pleasing God? Are you tapping into the power of the age to come?

Do we get in trouble when we ask too little of God? Jesus told Peter he had little faith when he walked on the sea and sank. If walking on water is little faith, what does Jesus think of the risk we are taking? Could there be things God is wanting to give us that we haven’t even thought to ask for?

A preventative look at Biblical reasons why people might die early. Jesus’ intent is for us to live a long full life, to the point He raises people from the dead. God actually intended us to live forever in the garden and never die. 

Deliverance is for normal people. It is routine care for believers. Jesus likened it to giving water to your animals. It should be a part of the normal Christian life. Not just for the crazy ones like the demoniac but for every believer. 

There are windows of time for repentance. It's as if sins build up, reaching a full measure, and our window for repentance comes before our sins drown us. Repentance is our hope, allowing us to opt-out of what we deserve, especially in these end times.

Every temptation that we face works to make us question the character of God. The enemy is trying to discredit God in our eyes, working to skew our view of Him. The devil tries to manipulate the core of who we are to think that God doesn’t have our best interest at heart. But maturity comes when we realize God was always doing what was best for us.
