4. As Christian , we are called to
stand up for our conviction, to
defend our cause, to resist
opposition, to lift the fallen.

6. “It is a matter of hearing the
conviction of the Holy Spirit
as we stand to confront”

8. 4 For the weapons of our warfare are
not fleshly, but mighty through God to
the pulling down of strongholds,
5 Pulling down imaginations
and every high thing that exalts
itself against the knowledge
of God, and bringing into
captivity every
thought into the
obedience of
Christ;

9. TWO CONFRONTATIONAL
EXTREMES

11. 12 And because lawlessness will be
increased, the love of many will grow
cold.
13 But the one who endures to
the end will be saved.

12. Sometimes our heart is not in the
right position to confront, no
compassion, not willing to leave
comfort zone, apathy

14. Harshness Is An Evidence
Of The Content Of
The Heart

15. Some Confront Out Of Duty
And Not Out Of Love
And Concern

16. 45 The good person out of the good
treasure of his heart produces good,
and the evil person out of his evil
treasure produces evil, for out
of the abundance of the heart
his mouth speaks.

18. WE NEED TO BE A SIGNIFICANT
PERSON FIRST IN THEIR LIFE

19. (1)
God will establish His authority
in our life first before He
confronts us lovingly.

20. (2)
As we learn how to be lovingly
corrected by God, we then
becomes ready to help others.

21. (3)
God will make a way to establish
our authority first to the person
before we can lovingly confront
them.

24. 1 In the second year of the reign of
Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar had
dreams; his spirit was troubled,
and his sleep left him.

25. God creates opportunity for
Daniel to establish his integrity
to the King

26. King threatens to kill all
wise men

27. 5 The king answered and said to the
Chaldeans, "The word from me is firm:
if you do not make known to me the
dream and its interpretation,
you shall be torn limb from limb,
and your houses shall be laid in
ruins.

29. 15 He declared to Arioch, the king's
captain, "Why is the decree of the king
so urgent?" Then Arioch made
the matter known to Daniel.
16 And Daniel went in and
requested the king to appoint
him a time, that he might
show the interpretation
to the king.

31. 1 A soft answer turns away wrath, but
a harsh word stirs up anger.
2 The tongue of the wise
commends knowledge, but the
mouths of fools pour out folly.

33. 17 Then Daniel went to his house and
made the matter known to Hananiah,
Mishael, and Azariah, his companions,
18 and told them to seek mercy
from the God of heaven
concerning this mystery, so
that Daniel and his
companions might not
be destroyed with
the rest of the wise
men of Babylon.

35. 19 Then the mystery was revealed to
Daniel in a vision of the night. Then
Daniel blessed the God of heaven.

36. God revealed the future of
King Nebuchadnezzar

39. 47 The king answered and said to
Daniel, "Truly, your God is God of gods
and Lord of kings, and a revealer of
mysteries, for you have been
able to reveal this mystery.“

40. 48 Then the king gave Daniel high
honors and many great gifts, and
made him ruler over the whole
province of Babylon and chief
prefect over all the wise men of
Babylon.

41. Daniel now established
as Significant person
to the King

42. Daniel now ready to be
used by God to confront
the King lovingly.

43. God now creates another
opportunity for Daniel

45. 4 I, Nebuchadnezzar, was at rest in my
house and flourishing in my palace.
5 I saw a dream and it terrified
me, and the thoughts on my
bed and the visions of my head
troubled me.

47. 8 But at last Daniel came in before me,
whose name was Belteshazzar,
according to the name of my god, and
in whom is the spirit of the holy
gods. And I told the dream
before him, saying,

48. When we become significant to
people, they start to open up
their life for counsel.

49. The Tree & The Angel
Daniel 4:16
Let his heart be
changed from
man's, and let the
heart of an animal
be given to him.
And let seven times
pass over him.

51. 19 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!

53. 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."

54. 29 At the end of twelve months he
was walking on the roof of the royal
palace of Babylon,

55. Seven Years
Daniel 4:33
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.

57. 34 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;

58. TURNING MANY TO
RIGHTEOUSNESS

59. 3 And those who are wise shall shine
like the brightness of the sky above;
and those who turn many to
righteousness, like the stars forever
and ever.

60. REACHING OUT TO
BACKSLIDERS

61. 19 My friends, if any followers have
wandered away from the truth, you
should try to lead them back.
20 If you turn sinners from the
wrong way, you will save them
from death, and many of their
sins will be forgiven.

62. PRAYERFUL
CONFRONTATION

63. 1 Dear brothers and sisters, if another
believer is overcome by some sin, you
who are godly should gently and
humbly help that person back
onto the right path. And be
careful not to fall into the same
temptation yourself.

65. GOD,
HELP ME CONFRONT WITH THE
GOAL OF RESTORATION.

66. GOD,
HELP ME CONFRONT WITH
CAUTION and HUMILITY
