2. STAND UP
(for what the Holy Spirit convicts
you about)

3. Stand up:
Defend, resist or rise up

4. Cross the boundary and get on
your standpoint.
Confront!

5. 3 Those who are wise will shine like
the brightness of the heavens, and
those who lead many to
righteousness, like the stars for
ever and ever.

6. 19 My dear brothers and sisters, if
someone among you wanders
away from the truth and is brought
back, 20 you can be sure that
whoever brings the sinner back
from wandering will save that
person from death and bring about
the forgiveness of many sins.

7. TWO EXTREMITIES
TO AVOID IN
CONFRONTATION

8. 1 Unwillingness
(shows the position
of heart)

9. 2 Unloving
(shows the content
of heart)

10. IN CONFRONTING
OTHERS, BE
SIGNIFICANT FIRST
WITH THEM.

11. God will establish
first His authority in
our lives before we
could confront
others lovingly.
a

12. As we learn to
receive correction
from God, we can
become ready to
confront others.
b

13. God will make a way
to establish our
authority to the
person we are to
confront.
c

14. Thru Daniel’s account, God shows how
He makes a way for a Christian to be
significant to the person he will
confront.

15. 1 In the second year of the reign of
Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar had
dreams; his spirit was troubled, and
his sleep left him. 2 Then the king
commanded that the magicians, the
enchanters, the sorcerers, and the
Chaldeans be summoned to tell the
king his dreams. So they come in and
stood before the king.

16. 3 And the king said to them, “I had a
dream, and my spirit is troubled to
know the dream.” 4 Then the
Chaldeans said to the king in
Aramaic, “O king, live forever! Tell your
servants the dream, and we will show
the interpretation.”

17. 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. 6 But
if you show the dream and its
interpretation, you shall receive from
me gifts and rewards and great
honor. Therefore show me the dream
and its interpretation.”

18. 16 And Daniel went in and requested
the king to appoint him a time, that he
might show the interpretation to the
king.

19. Thus, in time when God will have to
deal with Nebuchadnezzar, Daniel’s
authority has already been established
so he may confront the king willingly
and lovingly.

20. 10 The visions of my head as I lay in bed
were these: I saw, and behold, a tree
in the midst of the earth, and its
height was great. 11 The tree grew and
became strong, and its top reached to
heaven, and it was visible to the end of
the whole earth….

21. 13 “I saw in the visions of my head as I
lay in bed, and behold, a watcher, a
holy one, came down from
heaven. 14 He proclaimed aloud and
said thus: ‘Chop down the tree and lop
off its branches, strip off its leaves and
scatter its fruit. Let the beasts flee
from under it and the birds from its
branches….

22. 1Daniel stood up for it
is the right thing to
do and he wants the
king to know God.

23. 22 it is you, O king, who have grown
and become strong. Your greatness
has grown and reaches to heaven, and
your dominion to the ends of the
earth.

24. 25 that you shall be driven from among
men, and your dwelling shall be with
the beasts of the field. You shall be
made to eat grass like an ox, and you
shall be wet with the dew of heaven,
and seven periods of time shall pass
over you, till you know that the Most
High rules the kingdom of men and
gives it to whom he will.

25. 2 Daniel could have
stopped after
interpreting the
dream, but he
lovingly confronted
the king.

26. 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.”

27. PRAYERFUL
CONFRONTATION

28. 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.

29. God, help me
confront with the
goal of restoration.
a

30. God, help me
confront with
caution.
b

31. Daniel confronted the king but he did
not turn to God immediately.
But Daniel stood up and trusted God
with the results.

32. 34 “After this time had passed, I,
Nebuchadnezzar, looked up to heaven.
My sanity returned, and I praised and
worshiped the Most High and honored
the one who lives forever.

33. We stand up to move others to see
God’s love for them.

34. For the LORD corrects those He loves,
just as a father corrects a child in
whom he delights.
