Hello friends. This week I was able to see the Daniel show in Lancaster PA. It was spectacular! I hope you can make it out there to see it too. Lancaster PA is also an Amish community. There are also other attractions such as an Amish village, railroad museum, Bible museum, Dorney and Hershey amusement parks are also nearby there. It’s about a two hour drive from central NJ. I suggest that you stay at least overnight if it’s your first time out there.
For the first time ever, they are showing this Daniel show on selected movie theaters nationwide for just one weekend. Tickets will go on sale in early July. Please see this link to reserve tickets.
Here is the next Daniel chapter 6 if you’re reading this book with me.

Here is Pastor Gary Hamrick’s message on chapter 6 with great details about Daniel’s situation and the historical context of this period.

There’s an opportunity to help a family in great need in our church. Please read their situation below and sign up to help them with a meal. Most importantly, please pray for his healing with the measure of faith that God has given you. I do not have much experience or faith regarding physical healing and so I always refer anyone needing healing to others who have greater experience and faith. Admitting your lack of faith and expertise on this subject is not a sign of weakness. In my opinion, it is being honest. It’s like a local family doctor who tells you that they don’t have the expertise to help you and refers you to another medical specialist or a hospital faraway. I’ve asked friends who know this family to inform them about the church in Washington Crossing in PA. This church is the only one that I know of nearby us that offers healing prayer sessions with trained church members with proven success cases. (Like chemotherapy treatments for cancer, please go more than once for healing prayers.)

I have read and heard many people’s stories of healing, and pastors teach about healing in the past 13 years. In terms of human effort, I made tremendous effort to understand this topic. I continue to pray that there will be more healing in my ministry and in our church because the needs for healing and people’s sufferings are tremendous.
This teaching by Rabbi Schneider on healing was excellent. Because I have studied this topic so much I can say with confidence that what he shares is biblically accurate and practical. Please give him a listen and also hear his testimony on how he received his own healing from a chronic health condition.

I’ve also mentioned before that my co-leader, Mary has the gift of faith to pray for healing. She co-leads with me on Thursday prayer meetings. Her prayer for me has given me a “free root canal“ without additional dental work and also resolved discomfort in my left ear due to severe wax buildup. I know that for a fact since I went to my doctor for my right ear recently and she said that my left ear was completely clear and fine but my right ear is almost blocked and referred me to a ENT (ear, nose, and throat) specialist. If you need prayers for healing, please join us on Thursdays. I’m going to the ENT specialist today but received prayers from Mary yesterday, and so it’ll be interesting to hear what the ENT doctor says about my right ear. It feels like the wax is still stuck in my canal but I can hear it loosening up since her prayer for me yesterday. Praise the Lord Jesus! This is why we need the whole family of God and the church community. We also need to collaborate with other churches and help each other develop our ministry gifts and share resources and our knowledge too.
Holy Spirit has been putting France in my mind and heart lately. I’ve been praying for France 🇫🇷 in our corporate prayer meetings in the last few weeks. I was overjoyed to read this report yesterday! Wow. Please read this article and pray for France. Let’s protect the country and their birth of revival in Paris with our prayers! Let’s pray that their revival will spread throughout France and beyond to other European countries!
I have one more prayer request for you. Please read this article about Iran 🇮🇷 and pray. 🙏 Today’s Iran is the Persian empire that we read about in the book of Daniel. I knew nothing about modern history of Iran but I came across a documentary that showed that Iran had a very long monarchy. It appears that the king’s most expensive party in 1971 to celebrate their 2,500 years of monarchy was the last straw for the people. Unfortunately, their next ruler that took over the country was an extreme religious leader. Let us pray for Iran and their people’s freedom.

Have a blessed weekend everyone!
I came across this painting picture of Daniel in the lion’s den. It’s really neat. Do you see the angel around him?
