Prayers: Vanity of Vanities

God Hear Our Prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father, I come before your throne of Grace and Mercy this day.  I come, Lord God, just to experience your presence.  It is in your presence that I long to stay.  I am safe from all danger when I am with you, Lord. Each day, as I smell the sweet savor of your breath, Dear LORD, I am so glad that you have shown me how to walk and talk with You.  You have taught me what it means to be a wife, a mother, and a friend.  In all my educated wisdom, loving you has taught me that I knew nothing at all before I met you.  For all this and more, my God, I am grateful.

I am still “Considering” you, O LORD.  There are so many things that we look upon with our natural eyes and mind and we marvel at the wonder of it all not realizing its spiritual significance.  The Bible teaches us, Lord, that you made the sun, the moon, and that you also made the stars.  These heavenly entities will one day pass away.  They were created to bring light in the midst of darkness for a given period of time for the benefit of mankind.  Man has developed ways to capture, worship, and even improve earthly knowledge.  We act in ignorance because we know not what they are.  O LORD, have mercy on us!  Forgive our sinfulness and our desire to be so intellectually superior to others that we prove ourselves truly ignorant before you instead.

I understand the cries of King Solomon when he declared, “Vanity of Vanities, all is Vanity.”  Seeing the world through your eyes, Father, creates doom in the eyes of the beholder, yet it brings joy everlasting when one realizes that he has been “saved” from the dangers of the battle that is raging all around!  O God, sometimes it feels like walking through the valleys and shadows of death with the enemy pulling on all sides.  But, O, in the midst of it all, even in the light of the dangers that are seen, you still remain God Almighty.  You still provide unspeakable peace.  By your Mercy, LORD, I have “Considered” all the workings of the world under the sun, and I am grateful that you protect those that love you.  Oh how I love you, Lord God!  Help me to never stop loving you, Father God.  Amen.

I pray now, Lord God, for the faithful followers you have given me.  Help them to continue to seek your presence, Lord.  Keep them safe from danger and hold them close as they seek your wisdom.  Help me to stand for them, Lord, when they cannot stand.  Help us all to remain on one accord while following your directions to us, Father.  Make us all one in your sight and continue to Dissect our souls, Dear Lord.  Shed your sweet loving Holy Ghost upon us, I pray.  Amen.

As I humble myself in your presence today, Father, I have “Considered” as Your Spirit has directed.  O God, what a thought!  To consider my life without you brings tears to my eyes; to consider ever that I must stand alone in this battle is fearful indeed; to consider that the God that is God of ALL things in heaven, in the earth, and in the sea beneath the earth, “loves” me, provides me with a greater faith, strength, and the assurance that I can endure to the end.  To be “Considered” by you, Dear God, is to make you proud and give you joy.  I have “Considered” You, as You continuously “Consider” me!  To this end, My Everlasting Friend and Savior, I do submit my TOTAL being to You in Love.  Amen, Amen, and AMEN.

Prayers: Tolerance Is Not Allowed

God Hear Our Prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father, My LORD, and My God.  Thank you for yet another opportunity to praise your name.  I thank you, LORD, for holding me and guiding me down this dark road of confusion.  I am grateful for that which I do know as it is your everlasting truth that keeps me grounded.  Thank you, LORD!

The world is filled with tolerance.  This has become a way of getting along with each other. O God, help us to see that this really is a way for the devil to push us into phases of compromise to abandon your will!  O Father God, how excellent is your Wisdom, Knowledge, and Understanding.  I am grateful to know, LORD, that the playing field for all created Souls is equal.  How sad it would be, Lord, for you to cherish one race over another or to promote one gender as superior to another!  How sad, LORD, would we all be if you gave more wisdom to the rich and famous than you offer to the ordinary man or woman or the poor.  Your love reaches all walks of life and spreads itself wide and long as it wraps around the universe.  For this I say thank you, Father God!  Your love is not for sale.  But…we must belong to you, having come with a willing mind.  Your truths are everlasting and the “tolerance” offered by your enemy is only for a season.  Thank you, LORD, for being my God!

Your Wisdom is tied to the Holy Ghost and the Holy Ghost is Wisdom.  They are a part of you AND all of you.  Your Wisdom is available to all who seek to know you.  Teach me, LORD.  I want to know ALL things that are you.  I want not only to know, but I want to “Understand” everything about you.  For those who laugh and mock my love and devotion for you and my willingness to obey without a natural reason, I say, “so let it be, dear LORD.”  I have discovered that there is nothing that I can imagine placing ahead of you. You have tried me, LORD, and you have tested my faith and found me to be deserving of your love.  I, too, have considered the world and all it has to offer and I have chosen you.  All safety is found in you, my God.  All love flourishes because of you!

Your requests to me and all who claim to love you are few.  All you desire, Sweet Jesus, is our love.  How wonderful you are that you do not make us love you or beg us to love you. Yet, you continue to plead with us to open our eyes, see who you are, and understand what you are offering.  O Lord, you have given us amazing free will to accept or reject your love. Today, LORD God, I proclaim loudly for all to hear that I again choose you!  I understand your lack of tolerance for our sinfulness.  If we are to be yours, we must truly follow you and give up our wicked ways.  We must not follow others, but follow you only, Lord God.  Help me, LORD, to follow you only day by day.

Dear Father, I pray now for Dissect My Soul Ministries.  Thank you, Lord, for trusting me with your missions.  I say, “Yes, LORD,” even with the recognition that I have no idea of how to carry out your plans.  I am so grateful that you guide me continuously.  I don’t need to know why or how.  I just need you to guide me and lead the way.  May your everlasting mercy shine upon all the students you have sent my way.  May your blessings of protection fall around all participants in the “Love Jesus” Movement.  Tonight, I praise your HOLY NAME.  Amen.

Prayers: The Love of God Almighty

God Hear Our Prayer:

May all evil spirits be bound in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ as this Prayer is read.

Dear Heavenly Father, how great is your name; how amazing is your Wisdom; how Powerful is your Love!  Every day you “stir up”my mind, my heart, and my soul and reveal even yet a deeper part of your Wisdom.  Thank you, LORD!  The depth of the name “Dissect My Soul” is overwhelming to my tiny little spirit.  I received the name and I ran with it, LORD, just as you asked.  I knew that it removed all the impurities and prepared my heart to be one with you, LORD God.  But, O My Savior, my Friend, it is so much more!  I now see, LORD, that until the heart of man is “dissected, changed, or altered” from its original state, that your love cannot penetrate.  You want to possess our souls completely. You, Lord Jesus, want to be one with us as God is one with you!  You, O Lord, want to guide and direct us as God, the Father, guided and directed you while you were on earth.  The same love you received as you fulfilled the mission of God is the love you are prepared to pass on to all that will receive you.  To receive your love, Lord, is to obey you and submit unto you.  Amen.

Help me, Sweet Jesus, to surrender all of me to you each day.  Help me to move forward every second of my day submitting my will unto you so that your perfect will can be done in my life.  Help me, Lord, to obey you because I am in Love with you and not because it is the “Christian” thing to do.  Help me, O God, to look beyond me and always see you.  Let my meditations, motivation, and my heart’s desire be surrendered unto you forever and always. Please, LORD God, Dissect My Soul!  I know, LORD, that I cannot do these things for myself.  I cannot save me, O LORD.  I cannot perfect my ways and submit my mind in any way.  It is you, O God, that MUST perfect me.  I am incomplete without you, and I am “perfect” with you.  How grievous is the sound to my ear that says we cannot achieve perfection in this life.  God forbid and have mercy on us all, Lord God!  Would you allow the Holy Scriptures to declare that I can be perfect, LORD, and they not be available to me?  Is this a mind game, Lord Jesus?  O how I trust your every word.  Amen.  How true are your promises, LORD God!  When you dissected my soul, you taught me how to trust you and to lean absolutely on you and you alone.  You created a holy union between my sprit and your Holy Spirit.  You then filled me with the Holy Ghost.  It is the Holy Ghost that has your everlasting love.  This love then flows from the Holy Ghost into me!  It is this Holy Ghost power that regenerates my spirit.  It is the Holy Ghost “Love” that gives me new life and the ability to declare that I am born again!  I am not clean enough or pure enough, and never will be, to approach you alone.  I must be filled with Your Holy Ghost.  O God, how marvelous are your teachings and your wonders.  It is through the Holy Ghost that I become filled with your love!  These things are all products of obedience to your will.  They result from me giving you total and complete access to my heart and my very existence.  O LORD, I have had the key all along and have not used it to the capacity for which it was intended.  Forgive me, Lord Jesus.  I accept you as my Lord and Savior and as my very best friend.  I will go forward in your wonderful name declaring to all that will listen that you are calling, begging us to allow you to dissect our souls.  Amen!

Father God, do I back down?  Do I erase these words that highlight my personal walk with you, LORD?  Should I be fearful of those who will say that I am claiming to be better or greater than others?  That, dear God, is not what I am saying.  Do I abandon what you teach me and reveal to me in order for others to feel better about themselves?  My prayer is to you, O God!  It is you that I fear and obey.  It is you that I love with all of my heart.  O LORD God, Dissect My Soul!  Help me, LORD, to carry out your mission and fear not the forward looks of the enemy.  I stand in the strength and the power of the Holy Ghost.

I pray, Lord, for all those that might read this prayer.  I pray, Lord, that they will understand and receive.  I ask, Lord Jesus, that you penetrate their understanding and pierce even the lining of the covering that leads to the soul itself.  There, there, O God, I pray that you will perform your spiritual surgery to make them…and make me more complete in you. Take us all beyond where we are and help us to know that you and you alone are God.  Bind Satan and all the followers of evil so that your people might be free.  Let all who read this, Father, be set free to worship you in spirit and in truth!  May the Holy Spirit of God be forever praised and worshipped. Amen, Amen and AMEN!

Prayers: Shadow of Death

God Hear Our Prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father, My God, My LORD, My Savior, and My Friend, thank you for this day.  Thank you for the opportunity once again to be able to Worship you in Truth and in Spirit.  LORD, I know that you are the best thing that has ever happened to me.  You are the Friend that I have always desired.  I grew up pretty much alone and isolated from the main members of my family.  You allowed me to be raised by my grandparents and for that, Almighty God, I am thankful.  You knew the course my life would take and even then you were preparing me to become a Messenger of the LORD.  You are my FRIEND!  O Lord, how excellent is your wisdom. How Holy is your name.

The path through which you have directed me sometimes feels like walking through the “shadow of death,” but even then, protection is provided.  How do I explain to the world what I see and hear, Dear Lord God?  Why is it difficult for your created souls to believe that all things are spiritual in this world?  Does not the Holy Scriptures declare it to be so?  Why is there so much doubt?  Because of what I see and hear around me, I am confident that being with you, loving you, and remaining in your Presence is the only way to survive.  Your revelations of the existence of the things active in our daily lives that stem from the spiritual realm, are forever implanted within my soul.  Never let me forget or fall away, Lord Jesus.  You have my permission, LORD, to “perfect” your will within my heart every second of the day.  It is through you, Almighty God, that I survive day after day.  Thank you, Lord!

I pray for those that continue to show me kindness, Lord.  I pray for those that believe and follow the teachings that you have provided to me and them.  Protect them, Merciful Father, so that they can grow stronger day by day in your perfect grace.  I pray, Father God, that all enemies of the LORD will be bound this day and always, so that we can continue to grow as a ministry and as a people that have purposed to love you and only you; A people that is willing to be called by your name and accept you as “Our God.”

Lord, may all visitors to our website become infected with your love.  Help them to see that you truly are God and that through you all things are possible that are within your perfect will for their lives.  Amen, Amen, and AMEN.

Prayers: Praise and Worship In the Presence of God

God Hear Our Prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father, O how I love you, Lord God!  The deeper my love for you becomes, the more I realize that I do not know you…not ALL of you! You are more than a mind can ever imagine. Continue to stretch my understanding and my love for you on every level, my LORD.  With every revelation of who you are, the more I realize the vastness of your being.  Only a God that is God can be so multifaceted.  There is nothing common about you.  With every round of glory exposed, there is yet 100 more rounds to go!  How awesome you are, Dear LORD.  Thank you for your teachings and presence in my life.  When I am with you at the start of each day, I want nothing but to stay in your presence forever and worship you as God.  How great is the sweet savor of your breath and the all-blinding glow of your righteousness.  When you push me away to begin my day, it is always with the assurance that you will remain present every second and guide me as I go.  I leave “drunk” from your holy presence and find that it takes time to gather myself to visually see and understand where I am!  Worshipping you, LORD, reaches deep into my Soul!  O Lord, Dissect My Soul.  I offer this prayer, Lord, for all those that read it and especially for those that accept the words in their hearts as their own prayer to you.  Amen.

I pray, Heavenly Father, that the students received the wisdom that you provided yesterday as revealed from the book of Deuteronomy.  I have read this book so many times, but never received it as I did yesterday.  Thank you, Lord, for always knowing what we need at specific times in our lives.  I surrender my heart and soul to you this day and accept you all over again as the greatest love of my life.  Have mercy on me, Father God.

Continue to bless the disciples of Dissect My Soul Ministries and all its followers and students. Particularly bless the people that have joined our “Love Jesus” Movement.  Help us, LORD, and guide us in uniting the whole world in loving you completely.  Teach us to worship you in truth and in spirit as you have commanded.  It is your requirement that we love you in this way, Father, since you are Spirit!  The words of the Holy Scriptures prove that this demand is critical to developing an intimate relationship with you since you communicate with us ONLY by Spirit to spirit.  When our spirit communicates with your Spirit, we then become one with you, Lord.  Thank you, Father, that there is no other way.  Thank you that the way to you has been made available for all people.  The race, color, or gender does not matter.  Every created soul can find you if it chooses to, and every soul can fall in love with you, if such a one is willing to succumb to your perfect will!  Thank you for the assurance that you are willing to be the God of all that are willing to “be your people.”  Keep me as your people, LORD, and please remain as My GOD!  Amen, Amen and AMEN.

Words of Wisdom: Have Mercy On Me Lord

Consecration and Scripture Reference:

Teachings:

My life has been a roller coaster of trials and tribulations over the last few months.  The last 7 days have proven to be worse yet.  All these things have been allowed by God to teach me how to trust and love Him more.  All that I teach, I must first live.  When I live it, it then becomes my testimony and no one can alter or cause me to deny that which I have personally endured.  I am grateful to God for being my friend.  In the midst of all matters of life, I still find the teachings of God to be true and everlasting.  If you follow the truths below, you will ALWAYS prevail over darkness.  As I endured the darkness that was before me, I followed the steps below which I now pass on to you.  Study the scriptures and make them your own.  Amen.

Always repent before the Lord…daily.  When you pray, assume that you have sinned in some manner, even if you do not know the specifics.  This cannot be a routine that is not genuine.  It cannot be half-hearted.  God will read your heart to see if your repentance is genuine.  See the words of Psalm 51 below. Use this as your daily guide with the goal of God restoring a “Clean Heart” within you.

Worship God in spirit and in truth.  God is Spirit and is all “Truth.”  There is no evil or darkness within Him.  God does not need us constantly begging for stuff and things in life.  All we need to do is “honestly” Worship Him! See the scriptures below.  When we worship God, darkness cannot remain in our lives.  True worship is a product of true love.

  • 1 Have mercy upon me, O God, according to thy lovingkindness: according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies blot out my transgressions. 2 Wash me throughly from mine iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin. 3 For I acknowledge my transgressions: and my sin is ever before me. 4 Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified when thou speakest, and be clear when thou judgest. 5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me. 6 Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom. 7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. 8 Make me to hear joy and gladness; that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice. 9 Hide thy face from my sins, and blot out all mine iniquities. 10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. 11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me. 12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit. 13 Then will I teach transgressors thy ways; and sinners shall be converted unto thee. 14 Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God, thou God of my salvation: and my tongue shall sing aloud of thy righteousness. 15 O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise. 16 For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou delightest not in burnt offering. 17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise. 18 Do good in thy good pleasure unto Zion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem. 19 Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifices of righteousness, with burnt offering and whole burnt offering: then shall they offer bullocks upon thine altar.  (Psalms 51:1-19)

  • 23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. 24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.  (John 4:23-24)

  • 17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.  (John 14:16-17)

  • 13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. 14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. 15 All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.  (John 16:13-15)

Prayers: Evil is Everywhere

God Hear Our Prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father, my God and my Lord.  I thank you not only for this day in which you have allowed me to breath, to hear, to see, and to understand.  I pray that you will protect me throughout my daily journey and my complete walk with you, Lord.  Today, dear LORD, I surrender my soul unto you.  The more I see…the more I understand.  I know that you have given me choices in life and, Sweet God Almighty, I choose you!  I want no other choice in life.  I understand that I am not capable of choosing correctly for myself.  The devil stands watching at the gates of my heart to present me with choices that are against your perfect will for me.  I see him, and I hear him, but I will not open my heart to him.  The only way, Father, that I can survive is with you!  Amen.

On my last Sabbath Day, LORD, as I studied your word, prayed and worshiped you, God, I gained added light into the degree of evil that surrounds this world.  How great is this evil! All the wisdom of this world does not compare to even a single element of what you give to those that Love YOU, dear Lord.  The foolishness of our hearts and our evil imaginations are only evil in your sight as the Almighty God.  When we begin to think that we are in control of our own destiny, we have already lost the battle.  When we believe that we have gotten away with a particular sinful act, we fool ourselves, as you, God, cannot be deceived. Evil lurks nearby delighted that we have been such an easy prey.  O God, have mercy on us!

You protect us when we have no knowledge that we need to be protected.  Please, Lord; continue to identify the things for which we must pray.  Search our hearts and know that we want you and YOU alone.  Search my heart, Heavenly Father, and KNOW that I am yours. Remove, LORD, all things that might stand between you and me and that might deny me access to your Presence, Dear God.  I give you all of me today, yet again.  I do not trust what I see or hear.  I only trust you, LORD.  It is your truth and your understanding that guides me along this treacherous journey of life.  Thank you for your Mercy and your Grace. I pray that the Holy Ghost Spirit will dwell this day within my total being.  I am treading on dangerous ground and evil is all around.  Every step I take, I take in faith that Wisdom is with me.  I understand that because of my love for you, dear LORD, that your enemies have become my enemies.  I know that the first and last layer of protection for me is wrapped up in Wisdom!  How great is your Wisdom, my God.  I will not be moved by the angry gestures, or the awful visions of destruction.  I place my soul and my spirit into the hands of you as my LORD and Savior.  Amen.

Bless the members of DMSM and the students that pass our way.  Give them the right mind and heart to serve you this day.  Let them know that you truly are God! Amen, Amen and AMEN.

Prayers: Divine Revelation of Clouds

God Hear Our Prayer:

Dear Lord, my God, how awesome is your wisdom and knowledge.  Thank you, Father, for loving me better than I could ever love myself.  Thank you, LORD GOD, for the protective arm that you place around your children as the enemy rages close by.  Most of all, I thank you today for the revelation you have provided of the mysterious image I saw in the sky as I traveled through the mountains.  I love you, LORD GOD, for all that you are and I pray, LORD, that you will always direct my paths.  As I embrace this day, I need you to be with me every second.  Let the meditations of my heart be forever of thee, O LORD.  Today, I worship you and you alone.  Teach me thy ways, Father, so I can always be within your perfect will.  I give you my heart today and openly declare my everlasting love for you.  You are the greatest Friend that I have ever had.  Help me to always remain as loyal to you as you are to me.

Allow those that see or hear this revelation, LORD, to receive it as being from You, Father. Help them, Lord, to not lean upon their own understanding and to know that you are still speaking to your people and all souls that are willing to hear.  I give you all the honor and glory this day and ask, LORD, that you Dissect My Soul.  Amen, Amen and AMEN.

Words of Wisdom: Divine Revelation of Clouds

Divine Revelation and Wisdom of God

Dear Students and Followers of Dissect My Soul Ministries, I greet you today in the name of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, who is the Living Son of God.  I pray that you will do all that you can to right the wrongs in your lives in order to conform to the perfect will of God.  This is my prayer not only for you, but also for me.  Amen.

I bring to you today the revelation of God regarding a very unusual cloud that I witnessed a few days ago.  I asked God at the time I saw this strange phenomenon to explain to me what I saw…if it was His will that I know.  This morning, as I labored in prayer and worship with God, He explained what I saw.  It was not a vision, as some of you might think.  My companion driver saw this image of the cloud and the darkened shadow just as I did.  See God’s revelation below:

“Zelma, my Child, hear my words of Wisdom and explanation of what you saw near the mountain.  There was no shadow.  There was an unusual cloud that you witnessed on the backside of the mountain.  My Spirit prevailed in the cloud.  I only hovered over a portion of the mountain which was that portion filled with light.  I am all light.  There is no darkness within Me.  The shadow that appeared on the mountain that had not my light was that part of the mountain that was missing my Presence.  So it is with the world around you.  When I am not present, artificial light appears to the natural eye and gives all men a false sense of comfort.  If they have never known the light that I AM, they do not even know they are in darkness.  This is what breaks my heart.  They say that I am there with them when I am not.  They say this because they have not yet known Me.  As you saw the dark shadowy mountains looming ahead, so do I see the darkness that is prevailing over those who claim to know Me.  How long must I wait?  When will they truly love Me?  I am the Almighty God that can provide all things.  Yet I am not loved as God Almighty!  Should I leave the whole world in darkness since they love their lives and their own wisdom more than Me?  It is my desire that ALL men should know Me and love Me.  Tell them to “consider” the mountains that you witnessed.  Do they want to live in the shadow of darkness cast by the spirit of evil or do they desire to rest in my Presence and be gathered into my arms that provide perpetual light?  Remember that “I Am that I Am that I Am” and always will be.  Tell them my child…Tell them that I am the LORD!”

Scripture Reference and Consecration:

As you read the scriptures below, place yourself in the story as either the person being spoken to, the one being disobedient, or the one being blessed.  Make it personal to your life. Remember that even though the scriptures explain to you the character of God and how He handled or spoke to the people of that time, it only becomes relevant to you if you become the character in the story and seek to follow the character of God.  This prevents each of us from “pretending” that we are better than those being spoken to.  Amen.

Also notice that God always had an independent message for the people.  Know that He is still speaking to us today. We make God a liar when we say that He is not able to speak and reveal to His people today.  Seek God for further understanding of the revelation that is stated herein.  Remain blessed in the Lord Forever.  Amen.

  • And thou shalt grope at noonday, as the blind gropeth in darkness, and thou shalt not prosper in thy ways: and thou shalt be only oppressed and spoiled evermore, and no man shall save thee. (Deut. 28:29)
  • The secret things belong unto the Lord our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever, that we may do all the words of this law. (Deut. 29:29)
  • 1 Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed? 2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him. 3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not. (Isaiah 53: 1-3)
  • 19 Then was the secret revealed unto Daniel in a night vision. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven. 20 Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are his: 21 And he changeth the times and the seasons: he removeth kings, and setteth up kings: he giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding: 22 He revealeth the deep and secret things: he knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with him. 23 I thank thee, and praise thee, O thou God of my fathers, who hast given me wisdom and might, and hast made known unto me now what we desired of thee: for thou hast now made known unto us the king’s matter. (Dan. 2:19-23)
