DANIEL THE MAN – LESSON 10
THE DEFILEMENT
We now shift to chapter five of the book of Daniel, who is now deep into his eighties, perhaps closer to ninety in age. He has been in rulership positions in Babylon off and on (depending upon who was king) for around sixty-five years.
Daniel 5:1 says, “Belshazzar the king made a great feast to a thousand of his lords…”. In his intoxicated “party” condition, he commanded his servants to bring to the party all of the gold and silver vessels that his “father” King Nebuchadnezzar had taken from the Temple in Jerusalem. Then the king, all the princes (lords) of the empire, the kings’ many wives and his mistresses (concubines) were all drinking alcohol from these vessels that had been sanctified and made holy to Jehovah. As they drank, they gave praise to their various pagan gods.
God immediately responded to this sacrilege. He made to appear fingers like a man’s hand and wrote a message as they watched it. The king was terrified as he watched the fingers of a hand write this message on the plastered walls of his palace room. He had defiled God’s holy vessels.
Verse 2 mentions “his father Nebuchadnezzar,” so who exactly was this “king” Belshazzar? Nebuchadnezzar was his “father” in the generational lineage sense, much like Jesus was the “son of David.” The former great king was actually his grandfather from his second wife, the son of Nabonidus. The son of Nebuchadnezzar, Nabonidus had taken retirement outside the city of Babylon, most likely to Ur where he had built a temple to one of his gods. He had made his son Belshazzar as co-regent with him, ruling as king in his place and in control of the city of Babylon and its army. This is why in verse 29 that Daniel was made “third ruler” in the kingdom under the co-regents (kings) Nabonidus and the young Belshazzar.
We have often heard the common phrase of “the handwriting on the wall” to describe events in our own time to show results brought by previous actions of people. This is where that saying originated that is still used today.
Tomorrow we will look at what occurred from this event and the messages to take away from it.
One thing for certain is that we should not defile any vessel which is sanctified and holy unto God as Belshazzar had done. Our bodies are sanctified and holy unto God as the “temple” in which His Holy Spirit dwells. We should not defile it in any “unclean” manner.

AUTHORITY THROUGH THE NAME OF JESUS
The story in Acts chapter 19 tells us they had seen the miracles that the Apostle Paul had done. They watched him cast out demons and saw people healed and evil spirits depart out of people. Who were they? They were the seven sons of Sceva, who was a chief among the Jewish priests. These “sons” should have known the ways of the Jews, but Acts 19:13 says they were vagabond Jews, which means they had forsaken the true Jewish faith and were witch doctors.
In Acts 19:13 it says, “We adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preacheth.” This meant that they were trying to take charge over an evil spirit in a person. They did not personally know Jesus or Paul. They were counterfeits. They must have thought if they can do it, we can do it. I am sure they had no idea what they were getting into. Little did they know that demonic spirits are well aware of those that truly have authority.
After adjuring them, the evil spirit spoke in verse 15, “…Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are ye?” The evil spirit knew they had no authority, and in verse 16 it says, “And the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of the house naked and wounded.”
They were counterfeit ministers operating in counterfeit gifts. They were exorcists, but they didn’t know the person that truly gives us authority. It was their mistake. You can’t use the name of Jesus if you don’t know him personally. But we that know Jesus gave us all authority over demons, sickness, weather, through his name.
Verse 17 goes on to say that what happened to these men “was known to all the Jews and Greeks also dwelling at Ephesus; and fear fell on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was magnified.” Those watching these events saw the truth. They saw the “real” in operation through Paul and the counterfeit in operation through these seven sons of Sceva. Remember, the demon spoke saying “I know” Jesus and Paul.
As Christians we should all be walking in the authority of the name of Jesus. Think what would happen in your city if you started using the name of Jesus against storms, demons and more. It would start a mighty move of God. It did at Ephesus, and it will where you live too when you know Jesus personally and the authority that He has given you.

Helen Sanders
Prophetic Word
January 12, 2020
For now is the hour saith the Lord. Now is the hour to listen more than you have ever listened. For there are many voices speaking and many are leaning unto their own understanding. Yes, there is much confusion in the air, and only those that hear and listen to my voice will be led in the path that is a sure path. For there are many voices speaking this day that would be contrary one to the other. Have I not said to trust in me from your inner being and lean not unto the voice of the mind saith the Lord. For the mind is easily swayed by the voices that are speaking peace and safety, while the voice of the spirit would say come to me and find rest. For yes there is a wind blowing that will usher in many things saith the Lord. There is destruction and judgment in the wind, but I would say that it has to come to satisfy the payment for sin. My judgment will bring about a turning, yes, a turning back to me. There is an hour very soon that this will happen, for I would say don’t look with your natural eye, for there are forces that are beyond your comprehension at work even in this hour. I am adjusting the wind to bring exactly what is necessary to bring your nation to its knees. Yes, that is where it must come. That is where it will cry out to me and receive forgivenesss. Do not pray against this wind saith the Lord, for you would be fighting me. I am in this wind and it shall surely blow. Many things will topple through the blowing of this wind, for only those that are anchored in the solid rock can withstand this wind. It is blowing hard, and it will produce what I will it to produce. So my child hide yourself in the cleft of the rock, knowing that there is safety there. Hide yourself in me and know that peace is there. Hide yourself in the arms of the ancient of days. Embrace me for I will carry you through this time, but I would say do not fear, for this is all part of my plan. There will be great cities fall in one hour. The sin of those cities has come into my nostrils and has caused me to say, you think you can stand in this sin? I would say, I will bring you to your knees. I will have the final word, and justice shall be served. I would say there are mountains that will fall down and many lives will be destroyed, and you would say surely we are safe in the mountains, but they shall melt in one hour and the safety will be gone. There is only safety in me saith the Lord. Many would rise himself up and say nothing can touch me, but I will bring him down in one hour saith the Lord, for I have the last word. Yes, my children, the time of justice is at hand, so spend time with me to hear what I would say and know that of a certainty that in me you will find your safety. There will be great loss soon, but those that spend time with me will be spared saith the Lord.

PROPHETIC EXHORTATION
3-20-2021
Stay calm and have no fear...For God NEVER told you that weapons would not be formed against you...BUT He DID tell you that those weapons WOULD NOT be able to prosper in your life. (Isaiah 54:17) This is your heritage; So believe it...Receive it...And walk in the full assurance of your God given peace, provision and protection. It’s a fact that sometimes in life you must refuse shipment and simply mark it...Wrong address...Return to sender.
