Daniel, after getting “slain in the Spirit”, or something like that, gets another vision. Did you notice what happened to his friends who didn’t see the angel did? They ran away because they “sensed” a fearful thing (really in was awesome/fearful – that is a big difference from sensing you life is about to end fear). So Daniel was overcome by the angel’s presence so much so that he fainted. Why is this so debated in the church today? If an angel’s powerful presence can make a man of God familiar with visions faint – face down, how about when the Spirit of God shows up in a “heavy” or “more tangible” way? Then Daniel was trembling – again, why do we debate this? Trembling when in the presence of God or when one is overcome by God would seem natural to me.
God encouraged me with this truth. Daniel sought out truth from God (about the vision) and God answered immediately. When we seek God’s truth, he will give it to us. Daniel’s answer was delayed and so is ours at times, but God wants to reveal things to us! The trick for us is to “set our minds to gain understanding and humble ourselves before our God.”
I can’t leave without saying this – “when He spoke to me, I was strengthened..” Think about it.
