John,
In reference to your blog on “Principalities”, what was Daniel saying when he wrote, “Therefore I was left alone, and I saw this great vision, and there remained no strength in me, for my comeliness was turned in me into corruption, and I retained no strength“?
===========
Daniel was referring to him losing his health as a result of the power of his vision. This was not unusual. On at least one other occasion, Daniel was made sick by his experience with the power of God and by the overwhelming revelation he was shown:
Dan 8:27 And I Daniel fainted, and was sick for days; afterward I rose up, and did the king’s business; and I was astonished at the vision, but none understood it.
===========
When I read this part you wrote, “Jesus taught that, in the resurrection, some saints will be given greater authority than others (Lk. 19:12-26), according to the ability of each one. Also in the resurrection, some saints will be ruling over other saints, just as it is now among God’s people in this present life (Heb. 13:7, 17, 24).”, I felt my insides “leap”. I guess (without realizing it so much) one thing I love about God’s way of doing things, his order, etc. is the comfort I feel in knowing I’m under the shadow or the protection of one of “God’s men” (you). I love that, and to read that it will always be that way made me very excited, as there will never be an end to the wonderful way it is right now. God will always have one of “His men” to look after me.
Just wanted to share that. It is good!

Thanks. It is exciting learning about God’s ways and to enjoy them. I believe that God has put some of the best people He has into my life, and for that, I am so very grateful! I want to “walk worthy” of His blessings, and I very much appreciate your prayers for me when you pray.
