10 KEYS THAT IS SURE TO RESCUE YOU FROM YOUR LION'S DEN .



1. Integrity- Daniel would not defile himself with the Kings meat , which shows he was a man of strong principles. Daniel 1:8(NLT)"But Daniel was determined not to defile himself by eating the food and wine given to them by the king. He asked the chief of staff for permission not to eat these unacceptable foods."
2. Wisdom - Is hard for you to kill a man with wisdom . why? He knows what to do all the time .Daniel was one of such men . Daniel 5:11 (NLT)"There is a man in your kingdom who has within him the spirit of the holy gods. During Nebuchadnezzar's reign, this man was found to have insight, understanding, and wisdom like that of the gods. Your predecessor, the king--your predecessor King Nebuchadnezzar--made him chief over all the magicians, enchanters, astrologers, and fortune-tellers of Babylon"

Three times a day he got down on his knees and prayed, giving thanks to his God, just as he had done before."
5. Righteous- Bible says the Righteousness of the righteous shall deliver them (Prov 11:6) and this spirit was found in Daniel . Ezekiel 14:14(NIV)"even if these three men--Noah, Daniel and Job--were in it, they could save only themselves by their righteousness, declares the Sovereign LORD."
