  Speaker 1: Daniel one to seventeen says God gave Daniel the special
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: ability to interpret the meaning of visions and dreams. As
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: a teenager, Daniel was taken from Judah into Babylonian captivity,
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: and he was put into training to serve the king.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: They tried to get him to compromise his faith, to
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: fit in, to become common, to forget about the God
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: of Israel and start worshiping their idols. Oh but Daniel
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: refused to take the easy way out and compromise and
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: be squeezed into the society's mole. He chose to remain
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: faithful to God and set apart to God for his service,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: and to be uncommon, no matter what in might call him.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: He never compromised. Because he remained faithful, God gave him
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: uncommon favor and caused him to stand out above all
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: the rest in service of the Babylonian King and Daniel.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: Chapter six. King Darius the Meat was tricked by jealous
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: officials into signing a decree that prohibited prayer to any
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: God or man for thirty days, except for Darius himself. Well, Daniel,
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: known for his unwavering faith, continued to pray to God,
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: leading to his being thrown into the lion's den. Well
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: we know the story. Daniel was thrown into the lion's
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: den because he continued to pray to God despite a
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: royal decree forbidding it. The king, who favored Daniel, was
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: forced to carry out the sinners, but later found Daniel
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: unharm and declared his god, Daniel's God, to be the
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: true and living God. See, it doesn't take much effort
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: to compromise and do what everybody else is doing, y'all.
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: A dead fish can float downstream, but it takes a
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: live and active one to swim upstream. Be a Daniel,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: be a live fish. Choose to never compromise, to live
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: by a higher standard. To honor God with your entire life.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: Uncommon obedience produces uncommon blessings, uncommon favor, and uncommon destiny.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: When you honor God, he will always honor you. He'll
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: take you places you couldn't go on your own. So
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: don't you ever ever ever compromise. Father, Thank you that

• 2:52
  Speaker 1: and purpose to not let society squeeze us into a mold. God,
